Lucas Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Chuffed to bits for Kalvin Phillips. He's come a long way and he deserves his chance. Bielsa has coached him from a steady eddie midfielder to a top defensive midfielder. Now he's got his cap, I hope he shows he's comfortable at this level. Can't be many players that will play for England before they have played a second of Premier League football but he will be one of them, and to do it based on lower level performances shows the faith they have in him.

Smiley Culture Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Largely the squad I picked this morning on The FA website this morning, though I had Maitland-Niles in at LB and Mount in place of Phillips. Think we’ll grind a result out, a bit like the other day and that would be a great International break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's as abject as I feared when I saw the line up. No ambition at all with this line up. Grealish should've played. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Why has Southgate picked two central defensive midfielders and yet they are playing out of position? Neither of them are playing as they would for their club. I've watched Kalvin Phillips for two years in central defensive midfield and he looks lost tonight. Normally, he'd pick the ball up from the defence and pass to another midfielder ahead of him but guess what, he has no one to pass to. So instead, he's got to play sideways. Positionally, I can't remember seeing him occupy the left side of the pitch as much as he has tonight also. He plays in the centre. So why not fucking play him there. This is not his game at all and he isn't able to have an effect on the game like he normally would. No doubt he will get criticised now And I actually have sympathy for Declan Rice because I can imagine it's exactly the same for him. Really strange from Southgate. Just play the one. And Trippier on the left doesn't work. There is no balance. Are you seriously telling me that Saka from Arsenal could not have done any better because I don't believe that. It's not Trippier's fault as he's doing what he's asked to do but it's fruitless in terms of the team. Disappointed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted September 8, 2020 Subscriber Share Posted September 8, 2020 Playing a load of defensive midfielders works against each of those players individually. It totally ruins the balance of the side. It just invites pressure. Get Grealish on for god sake. Southgate has gradually outed himself as another bollockless manager.

Smiley Culture Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Not a great watch but that’s what you’ll get when you’re setting up to stifle and nullify your oppositions attack. Think there’s still more than enough in England to get the win. There’s space to be created with these long passes and with the pace of TAA, Sterling and Sancho and ability of Kane, I fancy us to get a goal.

Smiley Culture Posted September 8, 2020 Share Posted September 8, 2020 Take that, even if it feels annoying that we didn’t nick it there at the end through Kane. A disjointed couple of performances but everything has felt disjointed given the Maguire situation, the amount of time the squad has had together, the amount of players injured, Foden and Greenwood being stupid, the games before the league has started and the Walker red card has thrown everything into more chaos than it already was.

A lot of coaches are still treating these as friendly by playing only half the players they normally would and achieving mixed results. if this is going to continue then this tournaments value will decrease fairly quickly. (not sure the tournament has been fully accepted anyways) they should bring back friendly games if this is the case. if teams/managers/players don’t care much to win it, why should the fans?
