Any manager worth his salt would play Gordon and Palmer. They were positive and fearless. Which is of course why Southgate wont start them. He cant be having positivity. Plus Slovakia's RB is 37... Let Gordon get at him

JOE GOMEZ PLAYED LEFT BACK FOR ALMOST THE ENTIRE SEASON THIS SEASON. Why is this reporter being like “oh well you know Konsa… he played RB but probably him I think” Honestly the most useless journalism. How hard is it to do basic research before coming on the air?

That would be fine, or play Kyle Walker at LB and Trent Alexander-Arnold at RB.

Yes!! Joe played more games at left back than any other player in the squad!

@@bananaman17 certainly Kyle Walker is faster. On the other hand TAA is more creative and would link up well with Saka or Palmer in attack. I agree that Southgate is likely to prefer Walker for the reason you have suggested.

the 5 mins Gordon was on has been the only highlight since the first 20mins of the first match. He provides balance and allows others to play their natural game. He also brings speed on the left that can feed Kane. No point having Kane without supply from left and right. Play Gordon!!! Rant over (side note... Saka and Foden are Left-footed... but can't/dont want to play on the left!??)

These things happen in tournaments, it's the ugliest teams that win

Saka saying he doesn't want to play left back...Gareth should be saying either you'll be on the bench or you play left back. I'm sure cole palmer would do a better job on the right hand side anyway

Gordon is a positive, agressive front foot player. Our left side is docile....play him

Not sure that going mountain biking is a good downtime idea during a tournament, but he needs to get more than 4 minutes against Slovakia

My starting line up : Walker, Gueri, Gomez/ Rice, Bellingham, Palmer, Foden/ Gordon, Watkins, Saka

Kobbie mainoo bossed it vs arsenal pre season, he then bossed it vs real madrid intil he got injured in that game . When he came back he went instantly into uniteds midfield and performed amazingly well. England debut? He was motm. Fa cup final? He was motm. Struggling in rhe euros? He came on and was the best player on the pitch. Hes special. Hes fearless. Play him.

I think Saka is a fantastic player, but he has played an enormous amout of football the last 3 or 4 seasons for his young age. Always in the first 11 in both PL, CL and with England, with good reason, but I think now he is looking a bit fatigued and maybe he is not at his sharpest. Giving him some rest and playing in-form Palmer a few games could allow Saka to shine more in the latter stages of the competition (semi- and finals).

Starting trippier even though he’s clearly not fit and is one of the oldest players now playing 3 games in 9 games and your proper left back hasn’t had ANY mins since February 1st cause he doesn’t have the balls to play another player like Gomez (risking further injury) sums up Southgate. He doesn’t deserve to win this tournament, even if the players do. He doesn’t deserve the plaudits.

He has to start

I am sure Konsa will do well. I would choose Gomez , but I haven't seen Konsa as much. I would definetely give Gordon and Palmer minutes if not starting. I mean 30 minutes minimum if needed. Not 4 minutes.

SG takes 1 left back surprised he didnt take 1 keeper, clueless

This tournament is the worst performance overall by an England manager ever! The squad selection (one LB and he's injured), players out of position (AA and Foden), tactics, first 11, it has been shocking in every way. He cant hide anymore, he is a League 2 manager at best.

I used to defend him but the most recent games, basically since September, have been awful.

You should look back to 1988 and 1992 when we got knocked out in the group stages and were dreadful. This time we came top of our group, conceding just one goal in three games. It may not have been pretty but, in a tournament, this is very much job done.

Comment from a 13 year old that has no idea

I like Konsa but Gomez has to be the starter if Trippier is injured. Even if he isnt, we should still start Gomez. Trippier has been poor and is very predictable

Gomez over Konsa if Tripps is out

This dialogue is a beacon of hope, demonstrating the potential for understanding and unity.✨

Weird

let gordon go at FULL SPEED down the hill/wing or put the brakes on for a while until he gets up to SPEED. lol if england get beat the opposition can say ON YAH BIKE england

So trippier has clear domestic issues and now has a flare up of a historical injury, why lie to us all ffs

Gordon isnt battling for a place the rest Fcked up its his time

It's ok, they can find Bobby to play in goal, left back or right wing...even put Mr Potato as a False 99 Doesn't matter. England is overhyped for playing squares in circles and triangles Best cure for Insomnia!
