Sancho is playing because Saka is injured. Mount was always going to come back in. I don’t think it’s about giving everyone game time as I would expect both Chilwell and Bellingham, who are more than good enough for this match, to be playing if that were the case. Southgate doesn’t want to start Grealish because he’s too unpredictable and that scares the shit out of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have to laugh at Man U fans trying to convince people that rotating the squad in the middle of a tournament is a normal tactical decision - "gets the jump on the opposition" or some shite - and nothing to do with Sancho signing for them. Flies in the face of Southgate's supposed need for continuity in the squad as well. Edited July 3, 2021 by His Name Is Death Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ha, unreal Mr Death. Sancho wasn't experienced enough to make the bench last week. Is Southgate really trying to convince us that he has turned Sancho into a better more experienced player in less then a week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like I said in the jack thread the biggest problem is that sancho should have started by now He's a great player who had a great season Him not playing is as bad as Jack not playing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Eni Aluko highlighting the absence of Mount meaning the midfield was flat… Nothing to do with that player being replaced by a centre back and shifting to 5-2-3 then Mount has been very average in his performances so far and I like him.

Tommo_b Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I think Southgate doesn’t want to start Grealish as it takes away the spotlight from Southgate and his “man-management/tactical” nous that the media will lavish on him when we win playing negative football.

Same and same I had Mount down as a key player pre tournament and he's been surprisingly quiet Maybe a good reason to start him rather than bench him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
