And Its Smith

Semenyo on half time please Nige. Oh and sort out the right hand side defensively if you can. Cheers

9 shots from QPR in 38 mins

Manic defending from us again. Should be 3-0 down by. Now

Dunno but Wilson is on the bench! An actual defender

Defend like that and what do you deserve ? Sykes and Vyner as a duo defensively is a place to target for opposition

Embarrassing defending. QPR come with a plan and it’s working. Far too weak

Already look a bit open down our right. Lots of space between Vyner and Sykes. Willock could exploit that. Excellent player

Not just talking about us. A teams best player gets injured, his replacement plays very well but is then dropped when the better player is fit again. Happens quite a lot in football

I didn’t say they deserved to be dropped. Wouldn’t be the first time a player who didn’t deserve to be dropped was replaced by someone.

Pearson could have given Semenyo a go today. Surely can’t be too long before he starts. Not surprised Williams is back for James. Those asking about Pring…he can’t be performing in training or else he’d be on the bench. There is space for him as cover for LWB but Pearson has shown before he won’t just put players on the bench if they don’t deserve it

If only Southgate realised that if he wants to play 3-4-3 then James right centre back and Trent right midfield is his two best options. Both world class.

Haven’t seen it yet but anything with Elis James in it is good

I was 12 when he left City. First time I’d ever cried about anything to do with football. What a player. Looking back with a wiser head I’m not sure he was as good as I thought at the time due to his inconsistency but on his day…wow. The type of player that kids look forward to seeing. Now I’m a grumpy middle aged man, I much prefer a consistent worker than a flair player who plays well one in every three or four games.

As @The Bardsaid he may take 10 I guess as two strikers is light. I just think that if Kane and Abraham were injured he’d play Sterling or Foden rather than, say, Toney. I think 24 of the 26 I listed are nailed on but agree that Trent might miss out which seems incredible really.

It shows the disdain for EPL teams. Absolute joke

Predicted England squad for the World Cup if everyone is fit. Only real question I can see is maybe Rashford ahead of Ward-Prowse or Guehi if MR hits some good form and Southgate feels there is enough cover in midfield without JWP or centre back with MG Pickford, Pope, Ramsdale, James, Trent, Walker, Trippier, Chilwell, Shaw, Maguire, Stones, Dier, Guehi, Coady, Rice, Henderson, Bellingham, Phillips, Ward-Prowse, Mount, Foden, Grealish, Sterling, Saka, Kane, Abraham

Should we sack our 2nd most successful manager of all time just a matter of weeks before a major tournament? Anyone who says yes is mad.

I don’t think anyone on this forum from what I can see. We are far too sensible on here!

Some people really hate Southgate. There are definitely some, albeit a minority, that were disappointed

We lost to Uruguay and drew with Tunisia in our last two games before 1990 World Cup.

There were certainly England fans who were disappointed when we went 3-2 up last night

Two years ago is ‘different times’ ?!

Stones out again. Nightmare as so important to playing out. England much better than Friday

Don’t worry, most of these players won’t be playing first game you said!

Much better England.
