    I rate Southgate but I think the main issue with Sterling is that he has played him upfront / off of Kane. That's not his position.

    Yet Sterling seems to work better in Southgate's system than Rashford or Vardy

    I think thats the telling thing with our World Cup this year - We're prioritising the system over the players for once

    1-0 Falcao goal just before half time, we labour through the second half and never look like scoring. Goes down as ‘the best chance we will ever get to go to a World Cup final’ even though we get exposed as being worse than Colombia etc.

    Or we turn it on Euro 96 v Holland style, Kane grabs a hat trick and we move on to the most winnable quarter final we could ever get vs Sweden or Switzerland.........

    Which one will it be?

    Exactly. No argument from me there at all. I like Sterling and it's not all about goals. He contributes to the team. The only way that could change maybe is dropping Sterling, pushing Dele or Lingard further up and bringing Loftus-Cheek, Delph (when he's back), or maybe Dier in alongside Henderson. Another alternative could actually be Welbeck in that current Sterling role.

    I think the Belgium game, and Rashford's poor finishing, ensured Sterling will start again tonight!

    Before the world cup began, I never thought I'd be sat here thinking this could be our chance. Not after being at numerous of our qualifiers

    Too many people looking ahead to quarter finals and so on. Never a good sign for me. Giving me a bad feeling about this.

    Every fan of every team dreams of the next round. The team seems focussed and them doing their job is all that matters.

    may be wrong but on BBC just said he isn't even on bench....
  • Rodrigues not even on the bench. I was convinced he'd play.

    That is huge!

    Not sure why they wouldn't just name him on the bench even if he is crocked. You're not limited on the number of subs you can name...

    possibly manager doesn't want to get criticised for not throwing him in if he has no chance of playing?
