Pick the best players for the way you want to play. Southgate’s problem is that in no universe are Pickford, Dier Rice, Mings & Mount the best players.
Edit... for his formation

Dier has been outstanding for Spurs this season in a 2

Waistcoat Wednesday in Moscow in 2018, to ****wit Friday in Prague last year to Shithead Sunday this, Southgate can **** off - and what the actual **** is the point of Jordan Pickford?
I’m a Celebrity is on at 9. I’ll be switching to that. This is gash.
Decent managers make the hard but necessary decisions eg Lampard and Klopp ditching error strewn goalies, sentiment and loyalty doesn’t come into it, it’s professional football.
GS’s sad obsession with Pickford, who’s derided by his own club’s supporters.

Southgate is just clueless tactically. This system so obviously doesn’t work it’s so obvious to everyone except that clown. We don’t even have two top class centre backs yet he’s got a system with 3 centre halves 
Absolute muppet

Dier must have photos of Southgate and Jose up to no good. His terrible performances at CDM are only out done by his even worse performances at centre back.

Just when I think NSC is far more grown up than it once was...
i agree but some of these decisions aren't even hard to make.
There's a number of those out there that shouldn't ever be wearing an England shirt in action, by all means buy one and support the team from the pub (covid permitting)

Biggest disgrace from a first half by England since Andorra in Barcelona in 2007. **** off Southgate.

Grealish and Kane look reasonable the rest are a bit crap to be honest. Still I suppose it’s only a going through the motions game anyway.

Sadly whoever he plays there seems to fail. Perhaps we just aren’t good enough to beat these top teams.
Having supporting players playing in the top PL teams doesn’t make us world beaters.
We make mistakes trying to do what top players do.

England MOM is going to be difficult, and probably won't be awarded on that 1st half showing.

Opposition slightly higher quality though.
We've been nowhere near as bad as I'm reading on this thread. Not saying it's been brilliant, but I've seen much worse than this against much more ordinary opponents

I would say Belgium are about equally shite tonight.

I couldn’t care less if they make mistakes I can accept that, what I think is unacceptable is playing a system that doesn’t fit the players you have and then shoehorning players in out of position. It’s just ridiculous. If you don’t have the players to play 3-5-2/3-4-3 why play the system?
A few games ago we had Trippier at LWB, TAA at RWB and Walker at CB, all so he can play this formation. Bizzare.
