England kit is a massive Albion fan so I'd guess its something to do with that

Cheers, it was good to see it there!

That's 93 minutes i'll never get back. What a terrible game!

Effectively a pre-season game, don't know why anyone would watch a pre-season game expecting quality and excitement. They almost never are.

A glorified international friendly played in front of an empty stadium at the end of pre season was always going to struggle for tempo.

You can see how the lack of crowds has hurt the league cup this season with so many games going to penalty shoot outs.

Mason Greenwood and Phil Foden have been a bit stupid it seems. Took some girls back to the hotel despite CoVID secure guidelines. Now they have had to be sent home. Not a great sign about their professionalism.

Replaceable for now, with Mount and Grealish probably eyeing up their chances as well as Ings and Abraham. Hope they learn from this though as i've always felt English players suffer from too much, too soon.

Southgate must really hate Grealish.

A midfield of Dier, Phillips and Rice is very conservative. I know grealish naturally plays further forwards, but heâ€™d be capable of sitting in with two more defensive players and keeping things ticking.

Absolutely appalling first half.

There's no place for 2 of Rice, Dier and Phillips in this team. Woeful.

Southgate really is poor.

How long are they going to keep this kneeling balls up for it should never have been allowed supporting such an extreme organisation.

Have to agree I've turned over for the cricket!

Tactically inept from a Southgate basically playing 7 defenders

He's just an awful manager. That run to the semi final is the worst thing that could have happened.

Baggies · « **Reply #3240 on:** September 08, 2020, 09:12:22 PM »

Southgate was the right man for the job 2 years ago. With the players we have available now though, he is just a deadweight. He is allergic to creative midfielders like Maddison, Grealish, Elliot and others comes through now.

What have Dier & Trippier shown Southgate here that someone like Jack Oâ€™ Connell for Sheffield United couldnâ€™t show. Playing 3 at the back and not having a left footed cb and playing a rb at lb has literally cut off half the pitch, I genuinely donâ€™t know what Southgateâ€™s logic is there.

smethwickw · « **Reply #3242 on:** September 08, 2020, 09:17:54 PM »

Eric Dier is probably the worst player to play for England since Jake Livermore.

hardtobeat · « **Reply #3243 on:** September 08, 2020, 09:18:51 PM »

Especially when he has a left footed CB on the bench that has played at LB before

Baggies · « **Reply #3244 on:** September 08, 2020, 09:35:27 PM »

Awful performance, 100% on Southgate for his negative set up.

wba1993dave · « **Reply #3245 on:** September 08, 2020, 09:46:09 PM »

If England had sense, they would get Arsene Wenger in. The perfect manager for this England team.

Topman · « **Reply #3246 on:** September 08, 2020, 10:00:40 PM »

Awful from England. Going back to the usual. Itâ€™s time Southgate was given his cards in my opinion. We failed st the World Cup as soon as we met anyone good we lost, we lost to the same team twice, Belgium. Time for him to go and thatâ€™s because his villa, heâ€™s not good enough

I was so bored, I almost fell asleep... I even listened to the missus.

Southgate just isn't a manager. He's a great head of media relations, but not a manager.
