Whisper it quietly but Southgate is quickly losing all the goodwill gained from pre and WC 2018, like why tf are you playing 5 at the back with 2 defensive midfielders in front of them at home against bloody Denmark -_-
I thought the midfield was good and has improved from the World Cup - I definitely prefer Rice and Phillips over Lingard and Alli as CMs.
If I was Southgate I'd be trying to move to a 4-3-3 with a Maguire - Gomez partnership at the back, but they're both in poor form so I get why he hasn't.
With every player in form, I'd be tempted to play something like:
Pickford
TAA Gomez Maguire Chilwell
Rice
Henderson Grealish
Sancho Kane SterlingI think he's quite conservative though so wouldn't go with a team that attacking. He prefers Walker and James over Trent too
