Doesn't start grealish in favour of mount who we all know what he can do
. Grealish comes on.. we play better and score

Rinse repeat
 
Grealish, what a difference he made.
Hopefully he'll start the next game and, even more hopefully, instead of Sterling!

Not a chance. Not under this manager.

Certain things under Southgate are a given. Maguire, Sterling, Kane, Pickford - all racing certainties regardless of performances and club form.
 
Yes... was what I thought would override the pretty obvious foul on Kane.... however the ball through came off a German so no offside

I think the key thing is that the German defender deliberately played the ball. If it had deflected off him with no intention to play it then Kane would've been offside. Because the defender deliberately played the ball Kane is now onside.
 
Thought we played ok.
Made some good chances
The biggest thing for me was we won the ball back a few times really high up in their half and made a complete balls of it.
Sterling should be nowhere near an England shirt . Never seen a player give the ball away as much as he does.
Rice looks under orders not to go more than 10yds into their half.
Pickford should be saving that for me.
 
He had cramp so no need to kick ball out.No surprise he had cramp he was everywhere.
Yeah, I had no issues with them not kicking the ball out. I just mentioned it to paint the scene, and highlight the approximate time in match it happened. That is, the moment he vomited. Good job is was near the final whistle. Wouldn't wanna be an England defender and having to slide over it.

Good. Rice bombing forward and not sitting being a cdm ruined soucek this season tbh .. we had to limit him to sitting back to fit in rice who's so much better at moping up.

Ok I will take your view as you watch him every week.
But I think that’s why Kane drops so deep as there is acres of space in the middle.

I like Soucheck every time I have seen him he’s played really well. Very good in the air.
So in your opinion why has DM done that.?

To keep rice happy. He wants to be a box to box player .. Gerrard style. Yes he can play well like that but soucek isn't as good at just sitting back

Rice is class at it. But feels limited (like he is for England)

But for England he can't complain or want to leave

We scored against every team this year . We need to tighten up at back . If rice had been in role from season before we would be letting in less .. with only a few bombing runs forward and a killer pass .. rather than letting him do what he wants

Tbh he needs to score more to justify it

Soucek got 10 first season 6 last ...rice got s few more but we hear "he has the best shot in training" not on the pitch he don't.
