Hit the post, had a Peno almost just scored ... not much happening though 

Southgate's done all that? Must have missed that!

Keane still looks woeful. 

Corrected.

Southgate is in a rut... same old same old.... we look fragile and yes we scored 5...against kosovo.  To get to the next level he needs better players

How badly does Madderz want to play for England?  'England' don't seem to be too bothered about him playing for them...

[les-tah]

Southgate is a piss poor manager and wouldn’t last 6 months in the premiership

Marcus Rashford: 34 England Caps, 29 Premier League goals

What was the point in calling up half that squad? 

[Shamomoa]

sort of glad madders is fresh for saturday. maybe southgates doing us a favour... ;-)

[Guest Cujek]

Southgate has to be one of the most clueless England managers of all time. 

 

And that's saying something considering some of the mouth breathers we have had in charge. 

 

Soon as we play a decent team we will loose, as in the world Cup. 

 

This generation of players is at risk of being totally miss managed, again. 

 

It's so sad. 

[Benguin]

If I were Maddison, I’d either retire from international football or fraud a Scottish Grandad.

[foxes_rule1978]

Totally took the foot off the gas in this second, been pedestrian... 

[ScouseFox]

the lack of maddison is verging on weird now. not even just cos he plays for us, but why wouldn’t you just give him a few minutes at some stage? 4 matches he’s had to just sit there and watch 360 minutes of football. 

 

the only thing i can think is that southgate is insanely stubborn and because of how many times he basically said maddison is not the answer, he isn’t going to play him in case it becomes apparent he was wrong. 

[foxer]

Raheem Sterling just reminding everyone that he's Raheem Sterling there. Nice

And still gets to pick the best players in the country, with no worries about them getting injured.

[Shamomoa]

is madders available for any other country?

Maddison is our best midfielder 

[Tielemans63]

Micheal Keane is championship standard 

[FrankieADZ]

I honestly still think Southgate is a bang average manager. 

At times I have to wonder what is the deal with some of his team selections. 

[st albans fox]

How can a side with two cdm’s be so open ???

[urban fox]

That was close. We vould still be embarassed here 

[les-tah]

Is anyone else praying for a Kosovo win now hahaha

[STUHILL]

There is literally ZERO point calling up a player to then not give him any minutes over the full 2 games! 

 

[ARTY_FOX]

Hope maddison for his own sake changes to Ireland. Disgraceful he isn't getting on. I mean I'm glad for leicester he isnt playing but jesus southgate is making some awful selections.

Can only hope that this acts as a lesson to Southgate.

 

Barkley

Keane

Rice

 

Not good enough. Rice may still improve but the other two can get in the bin.

While I'm at it Pope is better than Pickford.

 

Pickford hasn't done much wrong tonight but the selections are all over the shop.

[st albans fox]

Having seen that challenge on mount, I’d like to thank Gareth for not bringing madders on ....
