It’s also a game of football, not picking all your attackers. We got beat in the semi because they controlled the midfield, today they didn’t

Trippier was an odd pick, I hope he doesn’t repeat it. But we dominated against a good side

at last, someone admits the glaringly obvious - sanity is still alive
 
I said it in the thread earlier before the match, as did most others

But we controlled that game, so he got the rest right.

Other things he could have done.

1. It was very hot - he could have used the bench more.

2. We are still slow in the transition - too many passes back and start again.

3. Over-reliance on long ball in the first half after the very bright first 15 mins.

4. Sterling could have been replaced by Grealish the last 10 mins - more control and better passes for poor Marcus to chase. Would also have satisfied the fans appetite to see "wor Jack"

The team that started today will not be the team that finishes,

Satisfying the fans is not his job when they are there to win matches

“wor Jack” makes you sound like a weird fan boy.

You’re dancing on the grave of Sterling’s match winning performance

I find that rather a wierd comment - although you might not know it - it's a historical reference to Jackie Milburn and Jackie Charlton - nowt wierd about them

Fortunately Southgate isn't there to appease the fans. We won and were comfortable throughout, on to the next one.
 
The reality is Southgate will be judged on his results. He got one today and actually some of his more questioned decisions were his more convincing ones. If he fucks up then obviously he’ll want it to be on his own decisions rather than pleasing the fans.

I don’t care what team he picks if it gets wins. And today’s team comfortably did.
