There will obviously be goals goals goals

Whilst Southgate has been great for England, he is on the way down in the role - which will be covered up with the ridiculous talent has has to choose from. His continued stance on playing Maguire regardless, playing Henderson in the middle (whilst pushing Bellingham wide), and his constant contradictory comments about players, suggest that the Euros are it for him. Seems like a natural end.

Maguire is shot. Bellingham however...is mustered

LOL Maguire OG

Cant possibly expose Colwill to playing is a standium like this in a foreign land, against Che Adams and Lyndon Dykes

Just seems more obvious tonight as we are so much quicker getting the ball to the final 3rd, and zipping it around.

Maybe just this game (and the last), but Kane looks very slow and not particularly mobile, compared to years gone by

Bellingham - sooo much better in the middle rather than left side of midfield

Ross Stewart involved?

I know, the leaflet they sent out was largely full of shit. Good shout.

I know, but they should have nudged us harder...scare us more, yes?

Very true, but nearly all in Westminster were at it and attacked the Govt for not locking us down sooner, harder, longer People demanded more of this...

Here are some more stats...but they mean nothing, right? Southampton ranks in the Championship this season: ◉ 70.2% Average possession (1st) ◉ 10 Goals (T-3rd) ◉ 315 Progressive passes (1st) ◉ 131 Progressive carries (1st) ◉ 28 Shots on target (T-3rd) ◉ 3,423 Completed passes (1st) ◉ 89.3% Pass accuracy (1st) ◉ 4,398 Touches (1st) ◉ 2,271 Touches in middle 3rd (1st) ◉ 1,309 Touches in attacking 3rd (1st) ◉ 58 Successful take ons ◉ 134 Touches in opponents box (1st) ◉ 7,156 Progression distance in yds (1st)

Thought was alright, but way off the best. Henderson did nout, thought it was odd seeing Bellingham push left as he went forward (as Maddison tucked in). Kyle Walker was very good as per. Although Kane put in a great ball for the goal, he is doing what Rooney did in the end, drops deeper and deeper. At one point, he was in the LB position defending.....Rashford was pretty meh How much did Chelsea pay for that Ukrainian - Mudryk?

Pretty poor performance overall. Hopefully just early season-itis.

If he does not make another premier league appearance, I wonder what we miss out on in funds...

Surprised you never emulated Jordan Henderson and jumped ship to 'grow' other mongboards

Is this the Transfer Window Net Spend trophy equivalent?

Cows Milk

Whether he will be flexible or so. One thing is clear, not being significant challengers for the top 2 positions will be a failure with this squad (which will only get weaker every transfer window in the champ)

i get sticking by players, but there is a limit with the likes of Maguire and Phillips. They just don't play. England will obviously qualify and these games should be to bring in others to gain the experience. Just very odd Edit - Southgate is now saying both Maguire and Phillips will play because we lack 'depth'

Lots of talk about Maguire starting later. What is wrong with Southgate...?

From or with Covid?

He isn't though

so, at least 6 keepers in the league are better than Martinez? If that is what you meant, who are they?
