Yes, Gareth, because as everyone knows, when you need a late goal, Jordan Henderson is who you bring on

Hey, man, when you have a chance to be in second in the group, with a GD of +1, and two teams who could theoretically catch you on the final match day, you have to protect that.

Managers so set in their ways.

You have 5 subs and a deeper bench than Scotland. Bring in some fresh legs in Sancho and Calvert-Lewis too.

Change the entire front 4 if you need a goal

It’s like he thinks he’s made his two subs and needs to keep his third just in case

Pass the ####ing ball Jack. We knew that plug O'Connell was going to reach in and take a dig.

Southgate is no good for sure, but it feels like that as the overwhelming take is taking the players off the hook. Good tactics, #### tactics, whatever, it's been a dog#### effort from the players.

how is Southgate making such a mess out of this? Just play your best players in their best positions and use your ridiculous squad depth to your advantage. It's not ####ing rocket science.

I don't know if I agree that effort is bad.

Feel like England have worked pretty hard. It's been a pretty fast paced and physical match.

To me they look like a side with no creative ideas offensively that would have benefited from a change of tactics or gameplan at halftime.

No idea what Sterling did to deserve the full 90 with Sancho on the bench either.

Sancho not playing a single minute in those two games is one of the most ridiculous things I've seen in a long time. Wow.

To be fair, England's biggest export to the rest of Europe is underwhelming men with an unearned sense of superiority, so this was pretty on brand.

You guys spend too much energy debating about England.

Oh I agree. I'm just not sure "shore up the midfield" is the best strategy when you're having issues creating and finishing chances.

I mean most of my friends growing up had English parents, England is Canada's team pretty much.

In all other circumstances, I would agree haha. Not this time though. One last kick at the can for Luka.
