Mistake not taking Rashford and Grealish 22:31 - Jun 16 with 3092 viewsonceablue

Could have bought both of those on tonight

Instead Mainoo and Gallagher

Seriously?

"Seriously?" as in, what on earth was Gareth thinking, or as in, you heard this opinion elsewhere and think it's wide of the mark?

I do think Eze, Palmer, Gordon, Bowen are deservedly ahead of the two you mention this summer and that we brought enough attacking talent on the plane. Problem for me is how Gareth weaves it all together (or doesn't!).

I'm not sure that Grealish coming on to fall over a lot would have added much, tbh.

No need. Just stick palmer on the left. Mainoo is probably the best cm option

Not sure why Palmer didn't come on.

Neither of those are better than Foden and Saka

There is quite a lot of falling over in international football, to be fair.

Rashford is a great player and poor player. I have never known such an up and down player of his standing in my lifetime. Grealish on the over hand is a consistent, consistently above average.

They are both better left wingers for England in this system than Foden is. Saka plays on the other side so not sure that's relevant.

Phil foden is a superb footballer, but he was very poor tonight and has been consistently poor for England. Just doesn't work in this system, Gordon a better option imo.

Quite a few of the big boys have decided to blood their younger talent this time round.

On the limited evidence of the opening games, Germany and Spain have coaches who seem to know how to utilise this talent rather than just pick it.

Southgate has chucked ours in and just hopes they’ll do what Pep, Ancellotti, Arteta etc have taught them.

It’s like an amateur golfer sp*nking five grand on a load of top quality new technology hitting sticks and wondering why he spends most of his time now poking through the undergrowth. This stick works when Scheffler and co use it, so I’ll have thrash with it.

He probably wishes he could have stuck with his trusty old equipment, but Henderson, Sterling, Rashford and Grealish have just rusted slowly in his damp Lidl club bag this season, so he’s had to speculate and cross his fingers.

Thwapp…clunk…who put that tree there?

Hi Millwall, I’m free in a couple of weeks or so…is there a club waistcoat and how far can your goalie kick it?…hello…?

You can't become a proven international without being given a chance.

Might just be me but I thought england looked better and more solid with Gallagher.

Definitely put a better shift in than TAA.

Southgate in the coach's chair is more than enough to worry about IMO.

Rashford has had a really poor season, scoring 8 times in 43 games. It wouldn't surprise me if off the field activities have gotten slightly the better of him & in modern pro football, if you're only putting in 90% rather than 100% in training & on the pitch, it shows.
Southgate was 100% right to leave him out. He's been constantly criticised for picking players out of loyalty or reputation rather than form.

Mainoo's season was too good not to be included in my opinion, particularly the 2nd half.
