Henderson and Philips should not even be allowed within 500 miles of the England Squad.

Englands biggest problem is their mid manager

His loyalty to the same set of players is the reason they won't win anything

It’s like tomori does not exist

If England can get Mbappe and either Allison or Ederson in the next transfer window, they would be betting favorites to win the Euros!

What about Tomori? He's always ignored.

How someone like Tomori doesn't get into the England setup even someone like smalling is criminally insane. Maguire and his abilities will only hinder England by not being able to play higher up

You cannot play good football if the mid-fielders and attackers are continually worried about the defence, because they can never fully commit to playing forward.

The talent is so clearly there. Southgate just isn't the guy.

Why do pundits do so much brain gymnastics to protect Southgate?

As a United fan I hope Gareth Southgate doesn’t pick Kobbie Mainoo. I don’t want him to burnout playing for England. I want him to rest in the summer and get ready for next season.

DID HE JUST SAY IT'S NOT EASY TO GET INTO SOUTHGATE TEAM😂😂😂😂😂SHOULD WE ASK MAGUIRE , RASHFORD AND HENDERSON???😂😂😂

Use John Stone as a 6 play tomori and brantwaite as center back whenever they dont have the ball, stone can add to the back 2 Tactical change

We've finally got an array of talent that don't have to play like England have for the last 50 years and a manager so clueless he sees that as a problem rather an opportunity to finally have the continent running scared. It's almost like that wc semi and euro final only came about because the players under top foreign coaches in the league seemed oblivious to the England mentality of previous generations and Southgate was superfluous in his influence on their mindset. He was more like an amiable stand in pe teacher just there to keep a bit of order and general direction. The more he's been allowed scope to think of himself as a manager, the more out of his depth he's got, his lower Championship at best expertise is seriously debilitating England the more precocious and younger the talent at his disposal gets. It's now reached critical point and the irresponsible media are neglecting their duty in not calling this untenable situation out more vocally before the damage he does sets us back years. It's obvious Southgate represents something to the modern establishment and their neutered media beyond football and they're prepared to sacrifice England's potential for matters totally unrelated to the game.

After Arsenal, Liverpool conceded the least amount of goals and no one is talking about Quansah

Tomori! Maguire wouldn't get into the building at AC and Tomori has consistently been quality in Serie A. Southgate is gone regardless what happens a the WC so he might as well go for it!

Well said frank 👏🏻

Maguire literally caused the injury to Kyle walker and John stones. Maguire is so bad he makes other players over exert themselves to make up for him.

Sorry Rashy is not an elite player who performs week in week out for his club...

Mainoo plays..we are losing…Madison, who Gareth hardly plays, Englands most creative midfielder, comes on for 15 mins a sets up Bellingham…. Other countries wouldn’t waste Maddison. Forget Calvin and Henderson ffs.

As an England fan i urge people to watch the film Mike Basett England Manager. This film will give you an idea of why England will never again win another trophy

I don’t agree with Craig that England have bad centre-backs, the problem is Southgate is picking the worst defenders. England have Tomori, Guehi, Konsa, Gomez, Quansah and Braithwaite all fast defenders, comfortable on the ball and can defend one on and he ignores them to play Maguire 2.0 Dunk, makes mistakes in both games that cost a goal. It shows Southgate is a bad coach not good at identifying players because Mainoo was only in the squad due to Henderson being injured. The bad coach is wasting a generation of players.

Gareth Southgate culture. Maguire, Henderson, Chilwell, Phillips and Dunk. That is Englands future and best players according to Southgate, the creme of the crop.

None of them want to say that Ben White is the answer for England's defense, but everyone shot themselves in the foot by pillorying Ben White publicly rather than say he was victimized in the team by a bad apple. Now England may pay the price for their downstream Arsenal hate...

Spain , Italy , France etc would not have a problem with throwing Mainoo into the Euros. They take risks and show confidence in their players , that’s why they win things.

Well said frank lebouf 😂😂

Thank God my Italian team beat England in the Euro Finals, bc since then we have struggled badly against England. If England can't win with an attacking 4 of Jude, Kane, Saka, and Foden, they truly are not destined to win.

Hanging your hope on Mainoo for euro 2024 should tell you everything about England come June

South Gate is the royal family’s pawn he ain’t leaving in 100 years🤣

I can't believe these pundits are talking about England having no alternative to Maguire . Have they not seen Quansah, Braithwaite and Colwill all three all though young are miles ahead of Maguire . I would argue they are better than Stones too as they all have pace . Stones is wonderful on the ball but he has never been a great defender . He was at fault for the goal that knocked out England of the last world cup. As well as that he has never been in a team of a tournament in all the tournaments he has played in . He suits a Pep team because Pep has never been serious about defending they just try to out score the opposition .

Defensive problem is Southgate’s fault because he doesn’t seem to understand you can’t play high defensive lines with slow defenders and keeps picking Maguire and Dunk over fast defenders England has that make England vulnerable. He seems to love slow cumbersome defenders because he was a slow cumbersome defender. Liverpool, Man City, France and even Germany now play with two mobile centre-backs. It Southgate’s bad coaching that Maguire and Dunk were not phased out and the faster defenders were not given opportunities.

Get a manager who isn’t living in the twilight zone and understands the year 2024 and beyond

James Olley is so good.

This is crazy... if you play the same CB in all your games how will you evaluate your options... England has an embarrassment of riches in every single position, but Gareth will play his bunch regardless!!!

Tomori tomori

Managers are amongst the most stubborn people on the planet, and Southgate falls into that category.

Gareth Southgate is not good enough, has not been good enough as England Manager because he's not bold enough as a Coach. And this is partly because the English media and their fans are too mediocre in their expectation of their coaches - particularly if they are English - and their players. Meanwhile, they are so inpatient with any other Manager if they are not English. To be honest, they are not part of my favourite 3 countries to win the next Euros in Germany.

Why is nobody looking at levi colwill? Best young english cb and hes left footed. No way maguire should be starting over him

Best club team has stone as a 6......he is playing for England

England has issues with pace at cb. Meanwhile last time around he decided not to give Timori who has pace a go st it when he won the series A.

Isn’t Ben White a CB by trade? Yeah, he’s excelled at RB under Arteta but he’s surely a better option there for England over who the manager continues to put in there.

I almost burst into laughter at the idea of a back 3 for England , they'd be done from the whistle 😂

They're talking about a solid central defender with pace and somehow seem to always forget Fikayo Tomori is English. What has this man done to Southgate? Or does he only watch Premier League players (and Jordan Henderson)?

Southgate's loyalty will be his downfall at the end players like konsa, tomori and even branthwaite in the resent international break that we don't know about the depth in defence due to lack of caps and kept picking maguire when he wasn't in form

Why is Madison not starting

How much Maguire caps for England squad? He needs send flower to Southgate for sure. Will be his fourth tournaments with him

The World Cup is 94 years old now. England have won it once (at home) and have never made another final The European Championship is now 64 years old. England have never won it and have made the final only once (at home) how is this team even relevant, let alone being installed as favourites. in their entire history they've never made the final of a major tornament that wasnt played in england ladies and gentleman i present to you "the power of the media"

Englands weak spots is, their keepers, central defenders and their number 9’s…

I’m from the US. But I always route for England. And it must be frustrating asf to have a mid manager in Southgate. I would do this: Ramsdale/Pope Trent Walker Stones Shaw Rice Mainoo Saka Bellingham Foden Kane

Frank Leboeuf 😂😂😂😂😂👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿

I won't be surprised if the Three Lionesses win their second major title before the Three Lions do.

I'd consider playing Maddison next to Rice. Rice can sit and Maddy provides creativity from deep.

The way Craig Burley says Deschamps.. he never took any French lessons it seems. Painful.

Garreth Southgate seem very hesitant to try new things. Especially in friendlies.

I've noticed Craig always ask questions when Kay is on

Gareth Southgate will be remembered for his missed Penalty because he lacks confidence to unleash an attack force other Managers would love to have he's done a great job staying 3rd in the FIFA ranks but who remembers that in 10 years time ? no they remember iEngland's Sir Alf Ramsey for winning the World Cup at Wembley Gareth is a full on steady Eddy easy as she goes and that doesn't win tournaments we all know that ...

England team is great. I think they dont need to overthink these friendly matches.

They have a mate as a manager. What do they expect? Lol that’s final against Italy is as close as it’s gonna get and they bottted that.

Tomori, Smalling not English anymore?

Cantona retired from football a year before France '98 so it would be a strange decision to pick him for the World Cup squad.

Better CB than Maguire: Marc Guehi, Ben White, Levi Colwill, Konza, Gomez. Stop making excuses for Southgate.

I am officially a fan of Southgate because he has ruled himself out for the Man United job so spectacularly well got to love him

in a normal man's logic, there is no way an under performing kevin phillips or someone who plays in Saudi league is better than kobbie

The Everton kid didn't even come off the bench 😂, but they play Stones in a FRIENDLY, when we know what he can do.

News flash, British media have overhyped England yet again!! 😂

Safe to say it’s never coming home haha

Why did Southgate not at least try Branthwaite? He’s one of the most in form CBs in the PL and has strength and pace.

What about Livramento? When he plays...he really plays.

Why doesn't southgate try playing Stones at LCB and kyle walker at RCB. That might be a decent pairing. Then play trippier or James at RB if they are fit enough in june.

An entire country of talent to pick from, friendliest should be used to try new players - it’s not complicated. There must be an agreement with Liverpool, arsenal, Man City and Newcastle to only use their players.

Can you imagine Tomori… thinking he has a great chance to be in the England squad and can’t even get a look. While if he played for Canada, he would be the anchor. What a waste for Canada

The best England pllayer is Bellingham, but he can't carry the whole team on his back

This is the problem with England, give Mainoo to Brazil or Spain and he probably starts every game. They'll turn him into a demon, none of this questioning if he's ready or not. Other countries throw these young players in and develop them fast. Southgate is just a horrible manager.

Southgate problem is his loyality & not picking players based on their form.

We should play with two DMs . Rice and stones.this will allow the front 4 to always go forwards. Find 2 new CBs.

Fikayo Tomori should be starting anyway.

English is but my first language, so I am deeply sorry if I misunderstood something. But the guy was saying the reason it's hard for Southgate to call different players is because he worked so hard to create this culture in his team? What culture? Culture of failure? Just imagine the terror if Endrick was English and entered the team and said to Southgate "I want to win!" "Kid, you are new here. Winning is secondary. Either you understand that or you are out!"

Mainoo will be on the pitch where he’s needed. He can screen. He does it every week for United. He just flourishes when he moves higher up the pitch.

14:53 "He's gotta FIND a conundrum." 🤦‍♂😂

Rashford is elite and performing week in week out? Also the problem in defence is that he never tries any other defenders to allow those options.

Tomri? This is just crazy for me

Bro last week he was the perfect replacement for ten hag and everything. Today they are battering him. How are you analysts

Does Southgate know what he's doing? Sorry, but neither Phillips nor Henderson should be near the squad. Have Maguire and Stones helped us win!? No. Just go with Branthwaite and Tomori. Get on with it.

Southgate does not like creative players, he'll only pick these types of players when he's forced to.

Over hyping that boy

What does Tomori have to do to get in that back line😓

So he sees Trent doing amazing things and thinks to himself, 'i don't want to mess up the culture I've cultivated', that's the opposite of a winning mentality!

This is the worst Brazil team in the history of football and yet the best team in the universe couldn't beat them. Don't know who to credit actually.

why doesnt he play Tomori ? he's so good!!!

Calling Mbappe "the big cheese" even though he was the reason why they went extra time lool all you need to know about their analysis

What about Tomori for christ sake

ARGENTINA WILL WIN THE EUROS AND MESSI WILL WIN THR BALL0N DOR!

That guy in check shirt is so clueless. What’s his name though?

England do not beat teams that are as good as they are, because the manager is too cautious and isn't tactically aware

dude just said Luke Shaw is slow lol

Gomez i would have then also Tomori.. Guehi decent...Braithwaite good.. Dunk isn't it aa slow and clumsy.

Chaos? Go read the definition.

Englands biggest issues is there manager his loyalty to Philips/henderson is ridiculous mainoo should have been in squad over them. Tomori never gets a chance he also picks dunk over braithwaite. Southgate is the issues the sooner Man U come take him the better!!

Craig is the man on this show, controversial at times but very good insights into the game from that man. Reason why 3 in back didn't work in past for Southgate's England is in part that he kept playing Walker as RCB instead of right wingback. CB was clearly not Walker's game. Maybe worth going back to that but with Walker as RWB. It's time to move on from Henderson, Maguire and Sterling. Go with youth like Mainoo, Branthwaite and Palmer.

Well we ain't winning it playing constipated football set up worried about loosing every game so why not just have a go with all the top talent at our disposal. But we need to play fast, agile defenders for recovery while playing higher up.
