Plus it pretty much said "I don't trust you guys enough to bring you on even for 10 minutes or so, but if you could just don't eff up that pen, that be great. No pressure, yeah?" It's mental. And you top that off by sending a 19-year-old to take the last one. I mean, who in their right mind comes up with something like that?

Not sure I've ever seen a manager who set up his players for failure like that. For a guy that has been applauded for his man management, that was some effing terrible man management. Especially when you have players like Grealish come out saying they wanted to take one.
I dont know how to embed this video, but a pretty good take railing against Southgate.
