Southgates a clown, I’d be livid if I was an England fan.

He is subsitute of Saka. Bloody hell, what Southgate knows and we don't?
Without the extended spots Sancho wouldnt even have been at Euros at all it seems like. That must be a joke
Nothing. Greenwoods not there due to an "injury".
Southgate is just weird worth certain players. Reluctant to play Grealish and refuses to give Sancho or Greenwood much of a go.
He is a manager that has his favourites and seems to find it very hard to look past that.
Still on the bench. But then again I wish they’d drop Maguire, Shaw, Pogba, Bruno et al.
United above internationals!

To be honest, if Southgate doesn’t play players in the German league, that would end Dortmund’s chance of poaching young British talent again.
Why isn't Ole starting Sancho against Czechia if he thinks so highly of him?

Just wait til the talk of "he's grown and matured as a player since the move so we can start him now". No bias at all.
why two months?
Surely he’s either got a knock or his head is in Manchester?! Weird
Southgate ensuring Sancho's market value does not increase until united signs him. Bravo.
It’s baffling he’s not played a minute yet, I thought Southgate was a breath of fresh air when he got the job, he kept saying he’ll pick players on form etc, what happened to that mind set?
Taking players that aren’t fit, playing two holding players, screams of negativity and being scared of the opposition, thought those days were gone.
On form Sancho starts, ridiculous and frustrating, only reason I can think of is this ‘transfer’ is affecting him in some way ?

Bench warmer
Southgate is a genuine clown.
I like Sancho, but he hasn't really impressed when playing for England has he? He's flattered to deceive quite a bit
Saying that I still think he should be playing today (but it should be instead of sterling)

I am a little concerned he can't get a game for England. Sure Southgate is a clown but if he was ripping it up in training surely he would be starting today?
Don’t be concerned. Southgate has his pets and his delusion that the German league isn’t a good level.
And making sure he doesn’t get injured before his medical. Double bravo
Saka is brilliant, and is unfortunate to not have gotten similar level of plaudits as Foden over the last 12-18 months frankly. Nothing wrong with him starting. I’d have loved him at United too, top player in 4 or 5 positions.
Nah, just a case of Southgate having his favourites. Similar with Bellingham, there was no reason not to sub either on against Scotland if we were looking at trying to win the match, alas he decided to stay conservative, use just two subs and not bother.
Gareth Southgate on Scotland game said:
Season hasnt started yetwhy two months?
So he's not even a starter for this England team.
Surely that's another 25 mill knocked off his price?

Didi Hamann saying Southgate claimed Sancho isn't giving his all in training. Well Gareth some of the starters aren't doing it in the games
I know it's unprofessional, but if you know beforehand the manager is picking his favourites anyway, I can somewhat understand not being overly motivated in training.
Sounds like face saving from Southgate to me. What's good excuse for Bellingham barely getting minutes, even when he's played the same two DMs for three games straight.
He's just a p*ss poor manager who's far too pragmatic, he's going to singlehandedly kill any of England's chances of winning the competition.
Sancho will get 4 minutes at the end and the anti fan boys will say how he looks crap.
Disappointed that a few others didn't get a start tonight in a game that doesn't mean a great deal.
Rashford, Bellingham and obviously Sancho

To be honest I couldn’t give a feck if Sancho doesn’t play for England and I’d be happy if no United players played international football so they’re all fresh for United, I’ll always choose United over England.
Saka is fantastic.
Hopefully, these are just irrelevant noises from the camp. Otherwise, this might be the start of another Martial affair.
I like him but he hasn't had the season, or three, that Sancho has had.
As much as I rate Sancho, with the way Southgate plays, there are very obvious reasons to pick Saka over Sancho.
If you're not going to facilitate Sancho's game, you're wasting him, and Southgate's pragmatism ensures he'll do nothing whatsoever to optimise Sancho even if he was on the pitch, which is why he goes for the better athlete who can run directly at the opposition whilst not compromising the team's shape (he doesn't need an overlapper).
Bottom line is Southage is a terrible manager for a player like Sancho who will severely impede his playing time at national level unless he ses Sancho and an English full-back work well at club level, at which point I'd wager he'd drop them both into the first team together.

Saka has been playing in a adult league though
Why are you guys really bothered if he is featuring or not for England? Not playing is great for us, more rested for the season and also great bargaining position for us as we can claim he is not as great as Dortmund are saying if he can't even make it in England XI.
Has Gareth Southgate got a daughter old enough for Sancho??
Almost as bizarre as the fiasco between Moyes and Zaha.

It's not really great is it? It's obviously a load of shit! They know that we know how good he is.
Grealish.
You provocative little bugger, you
There are so many reasons it’s good for United, not least because a) a top class tournament would be bad news for our negotiations and other clubs interest and b) you can be sure this makes Jadon even more desperate to force through a deal back to the Prem.
But I think people are bothered cause they are England fans?
farmers are adults, aren’t they?
