[Football] Your England XI vs Croatia

[oldboyroy]

Our boy not starting then

 

[TottonSeagull]

A very bizarre line up from a manager that is about to be found out over the next couple of weeks!

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

This line up strongly tipped on SSN too.

Trippier's selection is particularly odd. For some reason it reminds me of Yes Minister when Sir Humphrey would characterise every stupid decision made by his minister as 'brave'.

Mings playing is confirmation that Southgate does not understand the basics of football. Money on Croatia to win (nice to see sock boy not playing though)

[giveusfalmerplease]

maybe when we are 2-0 down he'll bring white on as a CDM ??

 

[Garry Nelson's teacher]

Just a question to those who know these things: has Trippier ever played left back?

 

[Curious Orange]

Does Southgate know that Croatia are a reasonably good team?

Apparently once in ca 340 games, in the League Cup against Barnsley in 17/18.

 

[Right Back]

Trippier has played left 3 times for England and done well.

 

[Farehamseagull]

****ing Tyrone Mings?!!! Absolute joke. Massively out of form Sterling and Trippier at left back with 2 outstanding left backs in the squad!

Southgate - nice guy, ****ing appalling football manager.

WB though not LB right? Either way, sounds like he has played on the left more for England than at club level.
Gotta feel for Luke Shaw- he's had a great season. James will dissapointed too.

 

[B-right-on]

Right footed and up against a quality side like Croatia?

Yea its not as if he has a CL winning leftback in the squad or the ManUre left back who has been one of the best players in that squad. Oh.....

Grealish is probably our main creative threat. His omission is on a par with the shenanigans with the defensive selections.

Agreed. Grealish is a game-breaker. I'd have started him.

 

[The Fits]

Because of our group, you suspect Southgate can make a few mistakes early on and we'll still progress comfortably. But it reeks of someone who, despite the suits and considered words, probably doesn't know his best team and certainly is worryingly risk averse.

 

[dazzer6666]

Playing Mings and not playing Grealish are the actions of a clown.

 

[Hugo Rune]

Exactly this. Come on England but, at the same time,

I award you 25 hypothetical points! Well done. I can’t believe that Grealish has been left on the bench.

 

[Gabbafella]

Playing Mings who is shit, Sterling who has had a shit season and dropping one of our most creative attacking players in Grealish is all a bit clown-like.
Southgate really is an awful manager.

 

[SweatyMexican]

I’m sure Gareth has a plan.

I’ll judge him at full time if we don’t play well.

But in the mean time Football’s coming home!!

 

[amexer]

Who wants Mings to have a bad game
