Leave him on the bench. Can’t get injured there 

Is he on the bench or is he injured?

Was listening to Rob Green on 5L who said he thinks Maddison needs one more season of performing consistently before he can become a starter... what a joke...

In which time he may have gotten his move to Man Utd.

 

I'd have understood this but he's still on the bench? Is he injured or isn't he?

 

Southgate's definitely got something against him for some reason.

That's genuinely hilarious. Maddison is in great form, and has been for the whole season and much of the end of last season. You'd say in our midfield he's in the best and most consistent form currently. 

 

His team selections genuinely baffle me. You could argue his selections in basically every position

I guess we’ll find out in due course.

Unlike Mason Mount, of course, who leapfrogged Maddison in the pecking order thanks to half-a-dozen good games for Chelsea.

Don’t forget that he was a starter in frank lampards derby team!

[Mike Oxlong]

I read he has a slight calf injury 

[Tuna]

Southgate will learn nothing about Maddison if he does not give him a chance to effect the game from the start.

 

No compelling reason why you don't give him (and others) a start in this one, this game is meaningless.

 

[Sunbury Fox]

A midfield double act of Winks and Rice. This is going to be fun.

[Grebfromgrebland]

I think Southgate is stubborn. If someone says a player should play then he'll resist.

 

He doesn't like to be perceived as not being in control.

Exactly. Why is nobody in the media picking up on this inconsistency of approach?

[Grebfromgrebland]

Also winks isn't that good.

Because Southgate has beaten all the teams we expected to beat and lost against the teams better than us. The man is a genius!

He’ll look a world beater against the mighty Kosovo

🙈 what’s that all about? No way they should be starting.

Because Chelsea is a big club. And Leicester? Well, we've had our 15 minutes and now they want us to go away and stop upsetting the natural order.

Everyone else he initially called up pulled out injured, and as per he never replaced them.

[SheppyFox]

It’s a bonus that our players are shunned by this crap England setup. No chance of injury and it further instils the siege mentality that the big clubs are unfairly pitted against us to keep us down.

Surely it's Winks OR Rice, not AND? They're both CDMs....

[spacemunky]

I predict Mings will do something stupid, sparking an international incident between the two countries.

Replace the i with an a! 

[st albans fox]

don’t want to see madders on if he isn’t fit enough to play 90 mins ...... that’s not going to be good for us ahead of a tough six weeks 

[oxtonfox]

Sterling looks off the pace or on the sauce; not sure which. 

[Plastik Man]

Another tactical masterclass from Southgate. I've nothing against Winks but the fact he's wearing the 10 shirt says it all.
