Surely the England games could have a separate thread? Don’t want my posts about Austria vs North Macedonia lost in all the SOUTHGATE OUT opprobrium (plus we’ve made a new part of the forum for one post so far lol)
anyway, it’s like christmas fucking morning, listened to three lions on repeat for about 15 minutes. Hope everyone has an absolutely brilliant day

Missing the game today to go to Oxford and repair some cowboys shoddy work atop a three storey building in nearly 30 degree heat
It's the life we chose

I at least understand reasons behind playing Mings, Phillips and Sterling (even though I personally would go different). But in what world is it necessary to play Trippier LB when Shaw and Chilwell are both so good?

Trippiers best feature is his crosses from deep so that's a weird one.

Because Southgate has his favourites that he'll play no matter what, even if that means out if position.

I'll reserve judgem until I see how they perform but it does look like a strange one. Plenty to come off the bench though.
Twitter in meltdown already lol.

I dunno how much influence Kane has over Southgate but when he was playing Tripper at lb in the Nations League a while back when he was in bang average form (I know he's been excellent for Atletico) it felt like he was shoehorning Kane's bezzie mate in to keep him sweet
Probably more to it than that but might have had some factor in the decision

When I watched them the other day Trippier did play alright at Left back. Think it helped that Trent was playing shite at right back though.

I thought Shaw was solid defensively so unless he trusts Trippier more (Croatia's right is meant to be dangerous if the plane flying over St George's Park is to be believed) it is an odd one.
No Sancho or Grealish seems quite defensive.

Because Southgate has his favourites that he'll play no matter what, even if that means out if position. in fairness Trippier should be starting at RB

Anyway back to tried and true position of being annoyed at Southgate, if the leaked team is real and we're actually playing Trippier at LB then the man's lost his mind.

Also I know it'll dominate the talk but I actually have a suspicion there will be a smattering of boos drowned out by a huge cheer - only the true hardcore inbreds still believe they're booing Marxism and I think those who booed before care more about us winning than anything else
