“ with Ivan We wanted to find out more about him last month..” BUT played Kane for 90 mins and gave Toney no minutes at a friendly. Knob.

[liammccarthy]

He knows people Turning against him, without Maddison it would have gone up 10 fold. Maddison can play 4 positions and gets and creates goals, for most he's a great player who has a chance of starting, for Southgate he's too adventurous

[GB-fkeq]

Southgate is a bum. Maguire and Phillips should be nowhere near squad. Be surprised if England come out the group with this manager

[MarkBriers]

I find it amazing considering the squad sizes have been increased, players are knackered and others out through injury, that Southgate would only pick Maddison to prevent a backlash. He gives the number 10 alternative and flexibility to potentially change a game. In a World Cup you need that, have the courage to use it otherwise you’ll be flying home. Only time will tell and let’s see what transpires, but to pick him just to keep everyone off his back is ridiculous perspective.

[daddyandthedon]

It’s a well known fact Gareth only plays his boys! No chance he will play over Mount regardless of form 😡

[jc]

You can't talk about form being a major factor when you've picked players who are out of form or have litteraly played less then 45 mins of football 🤦🏻

[mavrico]

Kept saying about form yet picks Maguire and Phillips. Negative boring tactics. We play a half decent team we are out. He is a coward.

[princessvalena]

We will draw games 0-0 playing 2 holding mids against the likes or Iran when we have talent like Maddison rotting on the bench

[daddyandthedon]

Think he only picked him as he knew there would be an almighty backlash if he didn’t! Picked him once in 3 years so sure he doesn’t intend to play him which is sad news as he’s on fire 🔥

[Baron-Ortega]

He looks knackered already. But then he's probably sick and tired of all the inane questions you journalists keep asking him.

[ron]

At least the English know their players going to the tournament. During the US squad reveal, the players at the event walked out on stage holding up their jerseys so that the "fans" would know who they were. The awkwardness was written all over the players' faces it was cringeworthy. 3 points easy.

[dannyshears]

"Gathering dust" !! 🤣🤣
Banter of the interview!!!

[lovejoy]

Why the country is wasting a World Cup, an event that only comes around once every 4 years, on this guy is beyond ridiculous. He should have got sacked after the Euro's. You're never getting an easier Final than against that Garbage Italy team that were hiding behind that Smokescreen misnomer of a 30 game unbeaten run. It will be like Groundhog Day again when we inevitably limp out of the tournament after scoring first and then defending for our lives, instead of going for a second and trying to kill the game. Just sheer madness. And we all know it's coming.

[HeWhoDaresEhDel]

He's shot his nerves have gone. Looks fraile

[andrecoetzee]

His in because his can you really say that about Harry Maguire 😂🤣

[julianlouis]

So he scores goals, and creates chances makes him a different type of player ? 🤣. This is just words to basically say he anit starting! 😒.

[scyven]

I swear if we play a back 5 with holding mids against Iran I’m turning the TV off

[richardjuukovsky]

Goal threat from outside the box. I like this guy! If Graelish was half as productive as him, I would not think he was over-rated and his price tag such a waste of money. Peace and love

[garywallace]

Picking him and actually playing him are 2 totally different arguments.

[MrMdotbizzle]

Never heard a man waffle this much in my life! I hope England do well for the players but I doubt it with this guy charge
