I saw so little of Sterling in the last game I thought he was still in Reece James' pocket.

Has Sterling been devalued?
I believe the McGinn / Robertson having to isolate is a wind up....

At the moment it’s performing very poorly against the Euros.

Funny that as in Scotland that joke says the England Players are deemed to be safe.
The good news is that Billy is fit to go for the final.

Sterling was marked out of the game by Motherwell's O'Donnell.
One absolutely pathetic penalty claim was all I could remember of his contributions.

I thought Scotland played their final last Friday, and won 0-0? ?

I don’t think Sterling should be starting for England, but what I don’t understand is why some seem confused why Southgate selects him and a few others.
No International Manager or Club Manager, imo, picks every team they are in charge of purely on form, they have favourites or players they believe suits “their” system better than others.
Have a look at your own Club and ask yourself if you’ve questioned why a certain player has been played/picked before others even when returning from injury.

If you stopped trying to score points for long enough to read the post you quoted, you might stop shooting yourself in the foot ?

This is true but those players are usually put back in because the squad player taking his place isn’t as good.
That just isn’t the case in the England team.
In Sterling’s case there are better players on the bench.
But know what you mean.

we can all say that we would like to see Sancho instead of Sterling or Henderson instead of Rice and DCL as opposed to Kane and Southgate could pick those players but it would still be the same prime objective- “don’t lose” , it would be the same negative mindset , the same level of managerial skills he displayed at Middlesbrough- he does not know how to play any other way. The team has no identity , no structure, no desire or leadership right now. The likes of Italy have the structure and method of play and then put the players in to fit that - England don’t appear to have a clue which way they actually want to play beyond being defensive and playing safe. Glad that TAA went home - he would be wasted. All that wonderful attacking talent and it’s just stifled in chains

It would be useful if we had someone that could cross the ball and put free kicks into the box. That's why JWP should have been there. Kane might have a chance then.

There’s 11 international players on the pitch.
But we don’t have anyone who can take a free kick or decent corner.
Kane’s not bad at corners.

So basically unless you’re the captain of one of the top clubs in the Prem you’re not a leader?
But the captain of Man City could have been quiet as a mouse all last season & he’d be a “leader”?

some talk that Chilwell and Mount are having to isolate

Maybe that will teach some of our pampered stars
They were allowed to play again on the condition they stayed apart when not playing..ie at end of games
Mount has broken it already by meeting up with rice for a kick about
For crying out loud
I'd send them both home

Mount and Chilwell embraced and spoke to Gilmour following England's Euro 2020 draw with Scotland at Wembley on Friday, with their Chelsea team-mate returning a positive test on Monday.
they spoke to a club team mate ffs after the match - just like many other teammates have spoken to each other through the competition, and no different to the close marking they have during the game
Yet pampered and being sent home ??

As I said earlier - just because someone wears an armband doesn’t make them a leader , Kane , Rice etc maybe captains but they don’t appear to be leaders
Henderson has shown many times over the past couple of years how much of a leader he is on the pitch and as you say off the pitch.
