England v Kosovo - ST Mary's Stadium Tues @ 7.45pm (ITV)

[brookfox]

Best thing Maddison can do is play for Ireland and have his summers off.

[foxes_rule1978]

Just as when England win impressively the knee jerk reactions when we win but not so is amazing... 

[katieakita]

Awful team selection and a piss poor manager. Conceding 3 against Kosovo seriously shameful however much them pair of twats big them up on ITV they are no world beaters. No wonder fans have fallen out of love with the national side when they do not pick the best side or even close to it

You question why he didn't give Gomez a shout at CB. 

 

And I agree, winks gives Spurs a good tempo and a decent passing game. Why he didn't bring him on to help see the game out is crazy. 

Same with bringing Rashford on. Why not let Wilson have a run out 

Can’t understand why you wouldn’t play Gomez I/o Keane but Southgate must have his reasons ......

[Collymore]

At least Madders will be fresh for Saturday. Maguire has played 2 games this week...

I mute the telly if watching England, the commentary is so biased it borders on sickening, was worse when that tw#t Andy Townsend was on

[Corky]

Waste of time for Maddison, should've been with the Under-21s and playing.

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

We managed it with aplomb under the Puel

What would Maddison have done differently to Barkley in a Southgate team?

 

Southgates tactic is literally, find a simple pass to any of the front 3 and let them do their stuff. Failing that, give it to the CB and he'll give it the full back. 

 

He'd be wasted.

Plusses

Sancho great prospect

Sterling outstanding

Minuses

Barkley is sh*te

Kate once again shows he is not a team player

Keane should never be anywhere near the shirt again

Maguire proving that he has been overhyped

Maddison didn't even get a kick

Southgate honeymoon period over and showing cracks

 

Fair play to Kosovo for giving it a go. But against any half decent side we would have been soundly beaten

No should have been in the senior squad and playing.

How on earth does Joe Gomez not start over Calamity Keane?

Totally agree

 

Southgate is just a top 6 puppet England yes man

[Hammo]

I support Leicester far more than I do England so delighted Maddison hasn't played. His hunger to improve and show Southgate what he's missing should benefit us in the weeks to come. And of course he hasn't got injured.

[Stephen Hughes]

As much as I wanted Maddison to play, Barkley played okay going forward.

 

We scored 5 goals so attacking wasn’t an issue today. Not sure defensively Maddison would have offered anything different as that isn’t his game.

Kind of people who if came sat next to you at the pub, you'd move to the next table. So monotone as well

Bit biased to list those minuses and not state that Chilwell had a poor game, both defensive and attacking.

Vardy as well, of course.

 

And Man Utd have doubts over Pogba, Martial, Shaw, Wan Bissaka and Lingard.

 

[Foxxed]

Southgate hates Maddison then. I doubt it's a non top six then. Southgate was willing to play Chilwell. Outrageous to not give Maddison a few minutes.

[UniFox21]

If you were the Ireland coach, surely you're on the phone to Maddison and his agent now consistently, saying how he'd be the star man, team built for him to succeed and bring his strengths out.

I agree but Southgate clearly wasn't planning on using him so should've left him in the Under-21s.
