If England thrive in this much sullied tournament, the boss does, if not, he cops it. Fair enough, even though we will never know if his critic’s choices would have served better. Nonetheless, I respect those who stick their head above the parapet, rather than sharing their foresight after the event.
Southgate has flaws, but England’s second most successful manager ill deserves so much sniping in so much media before a ball is kicked. Disappointed for Ivan, and I think he should have gone. But his success being gained in a team whose style is often so different to England’s is a factor.

Of course, it’s not just about Ivan, the other stand out omission is Rico Henry. If there’s a better, more consistent left back/left wing back in the Premiership, then somebody tell me who that is.
These two Brentford players thoroughly deserve a place in the squad, Ivan, as automatic cover for Harry Kane, and an outstanding penalty conversion record. Rico, in my opinion as first choice down the left. As with Ivan’s performance in Manchester yesterday, Rico too, one minor error aside, was on as good form as anyone.
I’m very puzzled by this squad by Southgate, with it’s unfit and out of form players, to say nothing about picking Maddison, we already have one squealer in the squad, we don’t need cover, referees won’t tolerate shithousing in the World Cup especially with the philosophy of keeping the game moving and ‘ignoring’ the easy fallovers and antics.
Oh well, after 60+ years of backing England in tournaments, it looks like Denmark and at a push, Wales.
Well said Jim. I also agree with Herzy Bee about RicoHenry he definitely should be in the squad instead of that donkey Luke Shaw. But perhaps controversially I also think that Ben Mee should have been given a chance. On form he is far better than Dier or Maguire. Sure, he’s 33 and has never played for England – so what? We need to win a tournament and he is a no nonsense defender who plays every game like it’s his last. Unfortunately, the grey man Southgate will never pick anyone who plays for little old Brentford, he’s far too busy picking players who have let’s face it failed before and will do again unless we try something different.
