    Predictable garbage, no doubt it’ll be a boring win and all will be well.

    Trent has been poor in the opening 2 games but has Gallagher been an improvement, very few have offered anything going forward, dare Southgate give Gordon 45 minutes, a player who will yo at defenders.

    He didn't offer anything anytime he replaced TAA. Should have been Mainoo from the start. IMHO him, Rice and Bellingham offer the perfect balance of the midfield 3.

    This Palmer sub though is mental, we need some pace and directness down the wings to stretch them and pull them out shape so he takes the faster of our wide players off and brings on a player who is fairly similar to Foden in style. Should have been Gordon and if Saka can't do 90mins like he couldn't do 90mins for the last few months at Arsenal maybe Bowen

    Talk about walking football, 10 minutes to play and he brings the lad Alexander on who he hung out to dry give the lad Gordon a run.

    Sack Southgate right now, we certainly couldn't perform any worse.

    What was more insulting was some of the so called pundits after the game trying to make out all was fine and even suggesting we improve the second half FFS were not halfwits we watch the game and once again we were poor, no excuses.

    What a classic comment from Mr Boring:
    • Southgate says negative "reaction" to performances "creating an unusual environment" which is "causing an issue" for players
      Well do something about it then like letting players who perform for their clubs play in the same way instead of trying to shoe horn them into your boring system, no excuses from now on in, we're in the weakest half no big hitters so let them off the leash.

    TBF we were better in the second half, maybe not a massive improvement but still better. Mainoo offers way more balance in the centre than either TAA or Gallacher. He can sit when needed to support Rice or even let Rice move up, he can and is willing to transition with the ball at his feet and he will get up and support the attacking players. Plus he is always looking for the ball. Palmer while a similar player to Foden seems more free, I've said it before but I hate Foden in an England shirt, it's like he plays with a 'WWPW' (What would Pep Want) attitude in his mind and the simple fact Southgate isn't Pep and doesn't play like Pep and Gordon when he game on showed right away he wanted to take players on. It would have been interesting to see how we did if Palmer and Gordon had come on earlier as they just didn't get enough time, especially Gordon
