It was more than justified. Take your beer goggles off man.

We won 1-0 with a good goal - but that has nothing to do with choosing a right back to play on the left when you have Shaw and Chilwell. What extra did Trippier bring that a natural left-footed player couldn't

We played a good side, they created next to nothing and we won. Which ever way you want to dress it up Southgate got it right today.
Suck it up sweetheart
 
He feared Croatia, probably went for a more defensive set up as a result.

No excuse not to be more attack minded for the other two group matches now.
I think on first look I would agree on paper. But that’s not how it was in game . Phillips was so often the most advanced player.
 
Mings was so controlled in everything he done. Thought we did well at keeping them to long range misses.
 
Look, we should have had enough to beat Croatia with pretty much any team we put out today. The team selection was underwhelming to say the least but job done and hopefully he mixes it up a bit for the Scotland game.
I found the game worrying. We were awful first half and they created more chances than we did. A poor performance lacking in guile. A better side would have possibly turned us over imho.
 
Joedurham: Why don't you phone Southgate and point out the error of his ways.

The call might be a tad expensive mind, as you'll be phoning from Zagreb.

Winning does not justify the unjustifiable. The minutes 20 - 45 were utterly dreadful. No service to the frontline - slow and unbalanced. Philips has surprised everyone and was motm - but why play tripper on the left when you have Shaw and Chilwell.
You are very very wrong
