England national team

Last player I expected to pick up a knock.

Why it was odd to bring in another centre half when he RB back up got crocked. I expect Konsa to play there now.

Southgate is the second best England manager ever by a vast, vast margin. Better squads and alleged better managers have done a lot worse over the years.

As for the current fella, he's just called up his sixth centre back, and at least two of them are shit. Personally I think he's had a complete mare with this squad and that is a proper mental decision. All the players left at home and you replace an injured fullback with...Trevoh Chalobah!?! When James gets injured the full back options are Nico O'Reilly and Djed Spence. Sweet.

Only thing I can think is he's going to Martn O'Neill it, which if the options were Terry, Campbell, Ferdinand, King and Woodgate I could probably live with. Or maybe a back three, but he has taken four wingers, so that doesn't scan either. It's a terrible squad.

It's okay. Quansah and Chalobah will save the day. Incomprehensible.
