I don’t know what he should do, re Southgate. Maybe a change in formation, cos he really needs to get Kane some service. I’d maybe try this:

We can keep the 4 at the back, but just drop 1 of the ACM to sit in with Rice. They can break forward iff needed but that could free up some space for the attacker's.

At times it's just too congested and we just don't give ourselves any space.

I don't think England can play three at the back without Walker or James there on the right to mop up. I think those three together would be a disaster against the best sides.

Walker has said he is fit to play

Wales have to attack. This is probably the game to play sterling and saka in. Vs USA it should have been grealish and foden as there wouldn't be that space and needed creativity.

Not having Henderson starting. He’s playing to not lose rather than to win again.

Don't agree.
Henderson and rice are there to win the ball back and get it to Foden, Bellingham, Rashford and Kane.

Walker and Shaw will also get forward from the back. Plenty of attacking options in there.

I can’t think of anyone in football who talks so well but delivers as little as Southgate. In an ideal world he’d be a great “team manager” if he had a top head coach to coach and select the side, decide on tactics and make substitutions.

I really admire him, even like him, but Christ he’s a very limited coach.

Which international managers talk as well and deliver more?

The disrespect Henderson gets is very funny tbh. Key player that started every match for a CL and PL winning team and was very good while doing it
