    They are adults. They don't have to take the knee. Southgate's talking as if people are booing children. 

    Also, we could equally argue that we're more determined to boo.

    Are a few sick or injured? Are the Chelsea/City players still unavailable?

    Thought we’d use this as a warm up for our actual side. Instead we’re playing a B team again.

    Ben White can play RB I believe. 

    3 Keepers on the bench hopefully isn't covering a number of injury concerns...

    Yeah Southgate confirmed earlier that no Man City / Chelsea players would be involved

    Makes sense. All English final might’ve hurt us a bit in some ways. 

    The attack is reasonably decent. The defence shows you how little depth we have

    Yeah he said it himself when he named the squad that we were disadvantaged than everyone else

    Bizarrely twitter saw it as another excuse to moan when the reasoning behind the comment was quite clear

    Godfrey can also play there and given he’s wearing no.2...

    Its a bit like Bowyer tactics - keep changing the team. What’s the point of these friendlies when we play the B or C team to give them experience and then when the tournament starts we look like a team devoid of ideas. I think we should have a settled 15 and the youngsters brought into the first eleven depending on what’s going on during the match.

    Isnt it the remaining squad on the bench apart from Maguire and the Man City / Chelsea players?

    Thats normally what happens come the Tournament

    If your not in the starting eleven, your on the bench, there is no absense from the squad like in the club game.

    3 at the back? If Maguire is going to be injured I have a feeling Southgate may switch to a 3 to add an extra centre half - try and cover the weaker area of the team.

    I wonder whether Southgate is considering Godfrey as CB cover instead of Trent but is wondering if he can be right back cover too (as if we need any more but there we go).

    Is there an actual reason stopping them playing or is it strategic that 60 mins football Will unnecessarily tire them out and they need extra rest?

    Or even just to sit on the bench.

    Absolutely no reason they couldn't at least be subs. It's 8 days since they last played.

    Instead we have 3 players starting who aren't even in the main squad and 3 keepers on the bench.

    Hopefully Southgate has realised we are going to have to outscore opponents.

    Hope this is Rashford's only appearance in this summer. 

    Woefully off form

    JWP has done himself no harm here. His passing range with some of our attacking options would be useful.

    Mings is a liability.

    Rashford showing again how wasteful he is and Sancho can’t seem to find top gear in an England shirt.

    I really hope Mings doesn't start, guaranteed cock up in every game.

    Spoke a little too soon about Sancho. Always able to produce a bit of magic. 
  • Grealish, Shaw and Sancho look miles above anyone else on the pitch. 

    Rashford and Mings look very poor. Godfrey isn’t a right back.

    It was a good effort, but his linkup play has been poor.

    Think we’ve been poor overall.

    Positive is the players I expect to start have looked good.

    If we have to play Mings at any point I’m getting a bible out.

    Obviously it’s great that players of ‘smaller’ clubs now get a chance to play for England and they don’t get ignored in the way they once did, but I can’t help but feel Southgate takes it too far in some cases.
