Hope Paqueta slaughters you in the 2nd half Will accept Bowen coming on to save the day.

"""let's be clear the wide player will be Saka, Bowen has pretty much no chance of starting"" I was talking about getting in the squad, I know who'll be starting. the long faced cսnt won't dare drop his favourites. like moyes, he's happy to play players out of position to accommodate his clique. arnold should be picked as a right back or not at all"

"I saw a waistcoat presser and he's coming out with the same spill that Moyes did a few months ago about having to play fringe players to find out more about them, if they can step up etc, utter BS. As with Moyes it won't matter how they perform as he will still go back to the so called tried and tested. He won't learn anything new over these two games except we are very reliant (in his mind) on players that didn't play, like Kane, Saka and Shaw."

"miike - I hope that's what waistcoat will do with Bellingham and Foden, but let's be clear the wide player will be Saka, Bowen has pretty much no chance of starting. Tbf to Winter, didn't TAA play really well as a 10 for England not so long ago, is he injured again?"

"the natural thing would be playing foden/bellingham ahead of rice, and in behind kane. that means we'd have two willing runners when kane drops deep, and also allows the horseface cսnt to include another proper wide player like bowen. it was amusing listening to that toffee nosed minge winter on talksport this morning when talking about who he'd pick saying he'd have trent arnold next to rice"

"If Foden starts the Euros as our left winger, it shows we as a nation have learnt nothing from previous failings. You play your best player, which he is, in his best position. You don’t play him out of position to accommodate others. I think its up for debate if he is a 10 or a right winger. My view is he should play 10 and Bellingham should be deeper/box-to-box alongside Rice. If its viewed he is better on the right then as controversial as it might be, Saka sits out the basis Foden is better than him. One thing is certain though, and that is he is not a left winger and never plays there."

"Makes me laugh reading the comments on social media saying the football is boring, bad subs, defensive etc etc, probably half are the same cunts that tell us to be careful what we wish for..blah blah blah"

"""Waistcoat doesnt seem so keen on players not in a rich 6 team though"" What you mean like Pickford, Maguire (when at Leicester), Phillips, Rice (when with us), Trippier, Mings. Coady, Dunk, Guehi, Bowen, Watkins, Toney, Konsa, Keane. Vardy. Ings and few others I have probably forgotten... you don't half talk fucking shit..."

"Same problem for England that has existed throughout Southgate’s reign, central defence. The full / wing backs areas we can solve and central midfield ( Gallagher not quite up to it imo ) but Maguire has to go and the likes of Lewis Dunk as first choices anyway. Not sure who we play there though. Stones seems to have largely erradicated getting caught in possession. The Villa lad ( Konsa ?) might be the answer as he has the pace thats missijg but will need a run of games. Waistcoat doesnt seem so keen on players not in a rich 6 team though Anyway, we will fall at or close to the final hurdle without that CB pairing being upgraded imo"

"twoleftfeet - no a Brazil side managed by Moyes wouos have lost, their best player Paqueta would have been played on the left and tasked with helping their left back defend against Foden. They would have allowed England the ball and their 17yr old goal scorer wouldn't have been on the pitch."

An England team set up by Moyes would have beaten Brazil. Southgate out.

Maguire doesn't even look like a footballer when he has the ball at his feet. He's like the kid at school who really wanted to be in the school team but had no natural ability.

"With Gordon and Palmer emerging I don't see a way back for Grealish now. As usual with a friendly I won't be reading too much into it, but Maguire is as shaky as Shakin Stevens and we really need to get Shaw fit. Give me a shout when the real shit starts in Deutschland."

Hard work being a centre forward these days. All the wingers cutting in on their good foot and it doesn't help when both your full backs are centre half's. Think the days of wingers getting to the line and whipping a cross in are long gone

Paq probs shouldnt have been on the pitch. He loves a poorly timed tackle. Bowen had one run. Rice was mostly anonymous. What was clear was the tippy tappy passing it around nonsense on both sides with little to show for it. Paq probably had some of the best ideas with his chippy passes.

"I thought Paqueta was the best player on the pitch don't remember him misplacing a pass, but he may have done.skew a difference having willing runners ahead of him. Bowen had one decent run I thought, Gordon looked good. Maguire looked shit as did our whole defence."
