England friendlies.

Better to have a stinker in the warm-ups than in the actual tournament. But I have little faith that Southgate has the ability to get the talented attacking players we have to gel.

He's gotten overly fast tracked. He shouldn't be in the team against Serbia. Correlation is not necessarily causation but he's been in a generally dire Man Utd side who concede an absurd amount of shots, his defensive numbers are pretty awful. He's a prospect rather than the finished article.

 

Friendly or not that's an absolutely dire result this close to the tournament, at home. Embarrassing score.

Seen this over the years. Young players at a big six club fast tracked to England caps and overrated whilst players at non glamour clubs have to produce over a longer period to get a decent look in. Even going back to Lineker

Although we have picked some from Palace based on a good few months /season or so .

Yes. Fair point. It's just at the big clubs a player seems to have a good match or two and they are elevated to the next big star status
