I'd have more respect for Southgate if he brought on two attacking players instead of two defenders and we over committed and lost the game. At least we would have learned a bit more about certain players and the team as a whole.

It’s not some random German bloke, he’s lived in England for 8 years and managed a bunch of the English players

Thanks, I’m aware of that.

Doesn’t change my view a German would be unlikely to manage us given our rivalry.

What on Earth does Southgate hope to learn tonight by throwing on a badly out of form Lewis Dunk instead of Branthwaite?

I can’t put into words how much I despise Southgate.

Brazil not afraid to bring on their 17 year old. Meanwhile Southgate leaving Mainoo on bench and bringing fossils on

It’s more of a rivalry to us than it is the Germans. They see the Dutch as their main rivals.

26 year old Joe Gomez being called a fossil has brought a tear to this 34 year old man’s eyes

True, but I still don't see a German managing us.

I really wonder what happens to Rodrygo next season at RM when Endeick and Mbappe go there. He’s always looked slightly uncomfortable on the right. You can tell it’s not his natural position.

It's a strong line up, shouldn't look out of place against Brazil. I've got money on 3 or more goals being scored, and need Foden and/or Slabhead to score.

I swear you could bet every under in the friendlies window and come out ahead.

No doubt Mainoo will be a brilliant talent but the fact Southgate et al have fast tracked him into the England team whilst completely ignoring Loftus-Cheek speaks volumes about how clueless the squad selections are.

sure Southgate would like the pitch wider so we can pass sideways even more.

Southgate will be thinking he took Maguire and Gallagher off and they scored

Can’t wait for Southgate to fuck off. Boring shit football time and again. Golden generation wasted on this man

This game also shows just how much we rely on Kane, we've been absolutely nothing up front.

I really do wonder what a great international manager could have done or do with this generation of England talent.
