How/why is Stones starting?!?
Hasn’t kicked a ball yet this season for City.
I thought Southgate was always going to select based on form…

Harry Maguire. Already taken the ball down, surged forward before turning around and passing back. Then pointing angrily at his teammates. I’m keeping count.

Apart from the noise, you could easily imagine this was at Wembley

That was shown to be utter BS when Lingard didn't make the Euros squad and Bamford didn't even make the provisional squad despite scoring more than Rashford, Sterling, Vardy, and Calvert-Lewin.

Grealish being very lazy in the pass imo, hope Pep's tippy tappy silliness hasn't found its way into his game already.

Maguire has the balance of an angry potatoe in cooking oil. Touch him and he’s down.

Looking at the Subs for an international team in the top 5 of the ranking is embarrassingly bad lol .. Ming the merciless, Coady lol Lingard lol and Bam bam ?

Still can't see why Sterling is a favourite. Been atrocious again so far. If it is his 'movement' ability to be in the 6 yd box for a tap in then Sessegnon will replace him in a year or so and he's hardly setting the world on fire at Spurs.

Shaw carries the ball 35 yards. Passes to Grealish who immediately carries it back 10 and passes backwards.

It’s gonna be a long night.
