fantastic player

Southgate must know that the majority of fans & media want to see Foden at 10, Bellingham next to Rice as an 8 and then have pace down the left with Gordon. Saka & Kane can remain where they are and eventually Luke Shaw can come back in at left back. That is the ideal starting lineup. As players start to get tired in the second half, you can bring on people like Palmer for Foden, Eze for Gordon, Bowen for Saka, Wharton/Mainoo for Rice/Bellingham and even Trent for Walker. Not to mention Watkins for Kane when he gets too tired to run in behind. How hard is that to do??

I very strongly disagree

Loved Nolan as a player but is he drunk in this episode. Could barely string a sentence together at the start then said Rice is the closest thing to Gerrard. That has to be the worst football take of all time. They’re not only different positions, but the difference in quality is chalk and cheese. Gerrard had already dragged his team to become the youngest Champions League winning captain of all time at the same age. Rice doesn’t deserve that

what kind of person plays a RB in CM, a RB who can spray passes, dictate play and create things and then summon the whole team to play at a very slow pace, let the opposition get back into positions etc. gareth needs to go yesterday.

Great watch that thanks 👍 hope Sam and kev work together again 💯 good luck

Sam is superior manager to Southgate. There's always logic and rational thinking behind his arguments. It was nothing sort of disgrace how he lost his post as an England manager. Shithouse journalism.

Ive just watch the Portugal & turkey game they battered them 0-3 with a 41 old year and a 39 year old and England played like that just hope we improve a lot.

both held very fondly in my notts county heart. cheers fellas

It’s Gordon on the left. Should have been there from game 1

Time to get Sam back in after Southgate, give the man another shot.

What's the point of that big board if noone can read what's on it?

He’s right about the ‘new words’ like ‘low block’. All bollocks!

The media have been so up Southgate’s backside it’s difficult to take the same ones seriously, who are now saying what fans have been saying about Southgate for years! Great show, loved Nolan as a player, no messing.

​@@insanity2968pls refrain from using words like great when mentioning Rice in the same sentence! A good player yes he is but definitely not great. Jorginho and Partey have qualities in their game that Rice lacks which allowed Rice to look comfortable doing what he does best.

Allardyce was genius at getting the very best out of fairly average players. Tactically he just used common sense and played players in their best positions and made sure they did their job, nothing special, just do your job and give it 100%. It's exactly the opposite of what Southgate does. Southgate turns stars into average players and then plays them out of position. BUT just compare their managerial credentials. Southgate managed for just 3 seasons, relegated Middlesbrough, then got sacked. That's Southgate's CV before the FA came knocking at his door. Someone explain why the FA thought he was the man.

Because of how good he was at youth level he was promoted to senior. Done ok so far with his England career but we are seeing his shortfalls now.

I don’t understand why we aren’t sacking Southgate now. The players don’t respect him, he’s clueless, what’s the point in keeping him. Get someone like Redknapp and Stuart Pearce in now to rouse the players and set them up to have a go.

Disrespectful from Sam regarding James McClean comments " who is he" Maybe he's a player that never let his club teams down, especially never let his country down every time he stepped onto the pitch... I don't think Sam could say he never let his country down.... what did he last 1 game and then stepped down... maybe he should find out who James is and learn from him

Don't be a soup taker and defend English pundits denigrating Irish players without the full facts.

I get they're backing Rice, but at the same time he was moved by Arteta last season from the 6 because his passing out, transitioning from taking the ball from defence into the a forward position isn't great. He's a side ways passer alot of the time, Rice did he best work for arsenal as an 8, England need that player who's going to help the defence get out... oddly they could always work on space and movement to allow Stones to do that part and allow Rice to get on the ball slightly higher up

Let’s get big Sam and Kevin in

Portugese Silva's are not recovering from injuries like Harry or Shaw or Stones or Saka or Foden & did not play in energy sapping UCL final like Jude a few weeks ago. Its physically tiring, getting over an injury in hot humid suffocating air & a sodden soggy slippy rubbish pitch.

What did he win

I honestly was sure Nolan was Scottish for while, for a couple seasons, he was as effective a midfielder as any in the PL

I always said Nolan was what England was missing!

Big Sam should be leading that team as he would let all the players express themselves and play to their strengths. I honestly think he’d have England through with 2 comfortable wins and rest the top players for the next round. Southgate overthinks everything when England have a world class or player in every area of the pitch and this dobber can somehow make Bellingham and foden look average. I’d sack Southgate mid tournament and get a proper manager in. Unfortunately it’s going to be glorious failure for England. Hope not though.

Southgate out.

Watkins for kane, Bowen for Saka, Gordon out on the left, foden running behind Watkins, Rice and Bellingham together, and Shaw left back even half fit.

Can't drop Kane..feed him and he will score...international class strikers are like gold dust ..but I'd tell him i don't ever want to see you in your own half...ever ...England need a real midfielder alongside rice and pace from the left...I'd switch to a 442 and drop foden...I'd have a midfield of Gordon rice Bellingham saka with Watkins and Kane up top...it's hard on foden but needs must ..that way we have pace from both flanks we have a big strong willing runner along side Kane to make space for him and Declan and Jude can control the midfield

Sam should be the last person criticising Southgate. Big Sam is one of the most boring managers ever. Long ball all day.

Sam has never won the league . He has stated total football doesnt work If his system worked then why didnt he win anything ?

Loved Nolan as a Newcastle fan, I like McClean but he's anti English therefore has an agenda

James McCleans said rice is overrated by English media and sam and nolan are fuming 🤣 who is James McLean, given his career in the premiership and championship, hes more than entitled to an opinion. If hes not, kevin nolan probably shouldnt have one either. If you look at what McClean actually said, he makes some valid point, he said rice is a very good footballed but not world class and hes not there yet. He also said he cant control a game and take the ball on the half turn from the back line, comments that have been made by neville and jame carragher for example. Mccleans comments are being blown up by english media due to his own history. Slow news day. Typical English media

James McClean is a professional footballer entitled to an opinion. An opinion that was fairly nuanced and reasonable if you actually read what he said. But, hey big sam and one of the most mediocre midfielders of all time got to have a personal dig at him so that's cool.

gallagher has looked better than some .who arnt gettin as much a stick . plus ive wtached some reels yes i kow thats not a full inictator but hes banged in some cracking shots and showed a lot of quick skillful turns and high energy , people talkin like hes a donkey .southgate is playing him as a defensive mid , to help rice out . not his best position but then southgate plays half the team out of position . in fairness hes trying to make 17 attacking midfielders into a team .but he picked this lopsided squad .didnt even take a fit left back thats ludicrously incompetent decision making . kev n sam are right its so predictable so easy for the opposition coach to set his stall out to nullify england . they are so vulnerable to counter attack .. sam talks sense unlike gareth .
