| Mount 20:31 - Jun 7 with 5891 views | DubaiR | Offers nothing. Doesn’t beat people with pace or skill, isn’t a creative purpose type. Very average player, will surely fade to someone like Everton just like a Tom Cleverly type |  | | |  |
| Mount on 22:16 - Jun 14 with 1536 views | Logman | Wenger would be good. He would get them together in the short period that they are together and he would get them all playing football as a team. He would have a much better idea of how to unlock an international defence and he would get the back four organised and he would get the best out of the full backs. |  | |  |

| Mount on 22:05 - Jun 14 by daveB | Wenger! Really, blimey maybe 15 years ago but not now. I like Potter but can't see the point of any changes before the world cup. He's used the 4 games to try players out and hasn't worked. It's probably made his final squad selection a bit easier now |
Wenger would be a great SHORT TERM option IMO. Southgate’s post match interview made it clear the fringe players haven’t been good enough so you are right about that: in his mind his favourites like Mount and Maguire are undroppable now 😬 |  | |  |

To be honest I'm not planning on watching this upcoming World Cup. So don't worry. It's bound to be the one that we win. |  |

Not sure about Mount but think Maguire will almost certainly play and deservedly so, always been good for England |  | |  |

| Mount on 21:43 - Jun 14 by paulparker | I don’t mind Southgate but he has to stop this ridiculous selection of Phillips and Mount Il judge him on the World Cup but he needs to be more positive if these last few games have taught us it’s a front three of Kane, Foden & Grealish that has to start |
I know this is going to sound stupid but having Rice and Philiphs as the starting mids is killing England IMO. Both are way too negative and did I mention Philiphs is a very dirty player but Southgate loves them and will never switch.. I watch Rice playing for West Ham and he is maurading up and down the field even scoring but for England its sideways and backwards . Grealish is in a bad spot with City and England , neither manager trust him to keep his cool and they are ignoring his ability to win games .He is deadly in combination with Kane and with Foden attacking and harassing like a terrier England have more than enough to make a deep run. Players are tired now so lets forget this 2 weeks |  | |  |

There’s the rub. Unfortunately Rhino will point to this camp ,and especially the Hungary game, and insist the cautious approach is the right way. I cannot watch an England team now with Mount and Phillips starting; it’s madness when you have Grealish, Foden and Sterling on the bench plus a far superior water carrier in Declan Rice. Steve Holland is culpable - his trade learnt under Mr Boring Football himself in Jose Moaniho. Our current defence options are ropey so why not actually go at teams? In terms of the Management Best since Sir Alf Ramsey donchyaknow….. Two of the luckiest and kindest runs of fixtures EVER in back to back tournaments and he’s poo’d the bed both times when it matters. They’ve done okay and took us from a very low bar but I just don’t see they’ll take us any further. In terms of the squad and availability … doesn’t really help the Management as I believe our defensive and keeper options are poor or out of form. Up front it’s Kane or nothing and to be honest he’s doing his best stuff dropping deep these days. Midfield is where we have riches but that’s the big blind spot with Phillips and Mount shoe ins whereas most England fans outside of those twos club’s wouldn’t even have them in the squad!!! Get Wenger lined up for January as I don’t see us doing anything in this World Cup - group runners up maybe but then out next game. Write your own excuses about tired players, heat exhaustion, injuries etc as that’s what’s coming [Post edited 15 Jun 2022 5:19]

| Mount on 07:47 - Jun 15 with 974 views | toboboly | I think Southgate has fallen into the same "favourites" issue as McLaren/Capello etc and players are now undroppable despite phoning in performances. This whole summer would have been better to give everyone a rest and play some fringe/younger players and tell them it was their chance to make a World Cup. |  |

| Mount on 08:09 - Jun 15 with 942 views | BAWHoops | I completely get Mount. A fantastic midfielder who presses well, knits play together and scores the odd goal. I’ve got no issue with him playing. As for the Southgate being defensive chat, yeah, he is. You can’t just play Foden Grealish Mount etc all at the same time. It doesn’t work. England have reached 2x semi finals and a final with a core of Pickford, Maguire, Walker, Stones, Rice, Henderson, Kane, Sterling. To start deviating from that is madness. For me the thing Southgate needs to work out is how to get Foden into the middle more and help control the game. Unfortunately the flavour of the month must have players (Ramsdale, Guehi, Gallagher, Bowen, Abraham) have shown they aren’t good enough |  |

| Mount on 08:29 - Jun 15 with 905 views | DubaiR | For me too many changes but then in key areas we talk about not flogging players yet Kane played in every game, England's second choice striker got 60 minutes across 4 games. Losing last night instead of putting Tammy on good enough or not he put Maguire on. I also think the Mount working hard is a myth. Look at how Kane closes down across the back 4 and the Mount who simply doesn't. If Kane misses through injury who do we play up top as none of the options have had enough minutes? Team if fit should be Pickford Stones Maguire Tomorri Arnold Chillwell Rice Foden Bellingham Sterling Kane |  | |  |

Don't disagree with that team. I think he will start this, but with Henderson for Bellingham and Walker for Tomori |  |

Not a chance in hell: Mount and Phillips will be in all his teams. He selects and plays with the fear of losing not bravely to win. |  | |  |

Agreed he needs to use Foden a lot more, shame he has largely missed out for these games. I didn't realise Holland was an assistant coach at Chelscum, explains a lot. |  |
