    Back 5 consists of 1 centre half, i defensive midfielder and 3 right backs.

    predictably they are playing like they’ve never met each other.

    Eric Dier, a serial underachiever for club and country, continues to get picked for club and country, without any vilification from the media or the armchair experts.

    Whilst I appreciate John Stones can’t play for England if he doesn’t play for Citeh, the rough ride he’s been given in the press compared to some of the current darlings is obscene.

    Getting mullered by Belgium. Bizarre that De Bruyne said that England could win the Euros and the World Cup

    I’d throw Declan Rice into the same pot as Dier mate.

    As much as a dislike Grealish, if fit he should be playing

    I agree, Eric Dier is a car crash of a defender, couldn't lace Stones boots, but also if Declan Rice is international quality I'll eat my fur lined cap.

    It is if the ball is a hot potato with England. As soon as they get it they play it sideways or back creating no creativity at all - boring, As soon as Belgium go forward they look like getting something. Lukaku is looking world class!

    I don't think I have seen a weaker England starting 11 for a very, very long time..

    Predicting Southgate to be fired at the end of the international break..

    Can anyone explain why Harry Kane is sat on the bench? (Other than Gareth Southgate that is)

    Spot on, Dier is absolutely awful. A very very limited footballer, how he's managed so much game time in the PL I don't know. Harry Maguire is another one that gets a free ride in the press, the only person I've heard take him to task is Roy Keane and yet poor old stonesy makes one small mistake and he's the worst England International ever!!!

    Ah, but Harry Maguire beats his chest really hard and ‘drinks all the jäger’ so he must be a better player than Stones. He cost nearly twice as much and isn’t even better than him.

    Southgate says he has not fully trained all week. Bit of cramp playing 4 times in a week with Spurs. Will come on later.

    Think it was reported earlier that he'd suffered a slight muscle strain during training.

    Doubt he'll be fired this year tbh. He'll be the manager until after the Euros, assuming they take place next year
