He just started him in two mean nothing games where they could have taken a look at different defensive set ups. Of course he’s starting at the World Cup (unless he’s hurt)

Yeah, this. These games were really good opportunities for Southgate to really throw some #### at the wall and see if it stuck.

You've got a game in London, your entire stable of professionals are right there and available for selection.
