Southgate paying the price for playing a midfielder in the middle of a back three, and a slow one at that.

This isn’t very good.
Belgium look like they are going to score every time they get the ball

Lukaku’s game in recent seasons in not built on pace, yet he skinned the awful Dier.
Belgium are cutting through us at will, the defence is terrible all over.
Experts always say that WC snd EC winners have great defences. Sorry, but until we get a bunch of world class defenders, we definitely won’t repeat 1966.
A.Cole, Campbell, Ferdinand and Terry were miles better than this lot in defending.

Right back at LWB, Walker at CB, 5 at the back against a team that’s weakness is its defence & 2 centre halves who turn like oil tankers 
Southgate continues to exceed himself tactically.

Personally, I’m hoping Southgate keeps his job for quite a while.
Only because I think the FA may be seriously looking at Graham Potter as his replacement.
And let’s face it, we’re not likely to win any tournaments any time soon.

Trippier seems shit at everything. Not helped by a carthorse back 3 not backing him up down the left.

I am of this opinion too, its not that far fetched. Look at Southgate's managerial credentials.
.
Thats why i am always ' come on England' oh & because i am English & patriotic.

It’s an odd thing to pick players for England and play them out of position. Never understood that’s at all.
I wonder if GP is watching this....if so, would love to hear his uncensored thoughts on Southgate’s selection and tactics.

I understand playing the wing back system if you have the players for it and the players are used to it but when you’re playing 2 oil tankers and a right back at CB then a RB at LWB it makes an already alien 5-3-2 system even more difficult to play. Three right backs in one team FFS
We don’t have width, there’s huge gaps between the attack and the defence with no link up midfield player and we are outnumbered in midfield. All we have at the moment is a hoof forward or playing in front of Belgium.
All this stuff was evident from the match against Wales, we certainly didn’t play well in that game 3-0 just puts a plaster over a poor system and performance against a awful team.

I realise that is what Potter does at club level but Southgate has a plethora of players in certain positions to pick from.........Dumbass
Scholes on the left.

No nor would I.........add that Donkey McCrap from Man U to that list i wouldn't swap.
Football in general in recent seasons, has followed a pattern.
Counter attacking teams who sit back in big numbers suffocating the life of possession based teams, cutting through the slower team at will when opportunities arise. The team forcing play punished.
Belgium are the counter attackers, we’re the slow possession based team. Belgium simply aren’t bothered about that.
Dreaming that one day we can play that game too.

Alf Ramsey never picked the 11 best English players, and then played some out of position just to fit the system, he picked the best 11 players to fit his system, hence Jack Charlton, who admitted himself, wasn’t the best central defender played a pivotal role.
Southgate picks out of form players, and then plays them out of position. How Grealish isn’t in this 11, and Mount is, I fail to understand.
And don’t get me started about Maguire, Dier by name, and Pickford.
