England v Malta/North Macedonia

Why are we playing with two holding mids, and fullbacks that won't push on against this shower?

We're slow and look utterly devoid of creativity. Push a midfielder on, increase the tempo, and we'll apply more pressure and naturally create more.

Utter fraud of a manager.

To me it looks like the players can't be arsed. I mean these last 2 are nothing games, the Prem is priority. If this is the case though, does it not show how much respect they have got for Southgate, not much.

This is the issue with having the biggest league in the world. Players care more about their club football than international, not that I blame them exactly. It's a bigger deal.

But the media and fans love him, 7 years building this. 😂

the problem is Southgate only called him up because of his club name. If he was Lucas Digne back up here he wouldnt be near the squad

You play the best player available to you now. If a tournament started tomorrow this kid would be destroyed, Netherlands brought a teenage left back to a tournament before and he was so out of his depth it was sad to watch. Even if its a plodder from Newcastle or Fulham they are better than this kid now

But you don't... Its a dead rubber 8 months before a tournament, you call up the u21 talent that at a push could make the tournament next summer or failing that if shaw and Chilwell are fit this guy will still develop and make squads years down the line

You don't call up a guy who's back up at Newcastle or starts for Luton to plug the gap for 1 game never to be seen again

This is the right way to do international football

And if he did call up Targett do you think there'd be no criticism? He'd be getting pelters

Watkins doing his chances of a call up no good at all. Needs to get much more involved

Would help if the England attack could do anything to support him.
