Why oh why do these press conferences even happen? Same old questions that provoke a generic reply. It's like watching polite AI have a conversation.

[@RobHarris-xl3ny]

That’s a pretty accurate description…polite AI lol..pointless and boring

Not match fit. Just watch him pull up

[@GordyB666]

@@airzee515 Oh, you're pretending he might rely on him for 90 minutes and doesn't have options to introduce him slowly? Are you not aware of players playing when recovered to get match fit?

[@airzee515]

@@GordyB666 They tend to come on at the right time and usually when you're on top during the latter stages of a game to get some minutes. That's very different to starting in a quarter final isn't it. Particularly with international players you've not played with before. It's a daft situation to put yourself in.

[@mattnield5178]

Don't even bother Southgate! Saka and Trent as wing backs. Lets actually go for it

[@user-qk2rt1cn2s]

But the Swiss will target Saka. Hammer him. Push him back. He will be defending, not attacking. It is a terrible idea. If he had practice there then fair enough.

[@zachy7461]

Cmon now. Hes barely kicked a ball for months!

[@GordyB666]

[@chriswiens9706]

Why didn't we pull an Ivory Coast and sack our manager mid tournament and then go on to win it!?!? I called this before the ball was even kicked. He has ZERO idea what he's doing. No direction, his tactics are negative. He is NOT fit for this job!

He will play Luke Shaw and keep Saka on the right instead of Palmer. His time as a manager is over.

will be fine, he wont play the full game probably like 30 minutes

[@dtrjones]

What a rubbish comment. You don't know what's going on behind closed doors or his fitness state. Of course he's not going to be 100% match fit, bit he's not going to get minutes on the pitch picking his nose now is he? Personally if he was training well, which I understand he has been for a week now, I would start him and bring a sub on if need be, otherwise you risk bringing him on and and then having to replace him which wastes an extra sub. Starting is worth a gamble to more balance on the left side.

[@francolive5718]

They don't get thrown in at a quarter final of a major tournament in the starting line up?

[@GordyB666]

@@francolive5718 it's not anything new to England's goalscorer in the last euros final

[@mhtbfecsq1]

Classy answers as always. I've always felt he'd fall short due to not being able to get the very best out of the talent we have, but I also think he has more substance than people give him credit for. Good to see him calling out our sense of entitlement and the arrogance/ rudeness of it.

[@TubbiesTravels]

[@virtualcity721]

From the video I've seen of Shaw. He is way too overweight to go against the Switz's pacey winger #17 play Gomez even if it means he'll only be good defensively

Yeah play luke shaw no playing time. and the problem is he will give his all and probably get injured again then what . Big Mistake taken 3/4 Right Backs to the tournamount dont you think .please play the players in their best and natural positions and get the balance right and ditch your damn two holding midfielders you only need 1 we need to attack attack and not sit deep get wingbacks on the pitch to get crosses in the box fast flowing football and not defensive if we concede a goal who cares as long as we win it dont matter if its 3 1 5 2 siting on a 1 nill lead does not work and never will work we will just loose again just like your history before please learn from your mistakes

Honestly england with this squad can win this tournament so easily its ridiculous. And yet gareth is trying to find any way he can to ruin it. If we lose today at least we can be finally rid of him.

[@orbytl2799]

he is gonna be match fit isnt he? how long has he been out for?

[@barnfieldfishing]

Its like mike Bassett

[@airzee515]

Regarding the reasons Southgate gives for Foden not playing like he does for his club, if that's the case, that he doesn't play with these players as much then none of the top players would be any good at international level

[@joelww2501]

Having an actual left-back will make a huge difference.

[@RGPGAME-Z]

The Swiss reporter comparing Italy and Swiss with a Fiat panda and a Ferrari was a beauty 😂

[@Beansontoast93911]

Just because he says Luke Shaw is fit to play does not mean it is true. He has said this multiple times already. He probably has no intention of playing him. It’s the opposition question the starting lineup.

Trippier RWB and Saka LWB. Why tf not play Trent , f*** off BoreGate

Luke Shaw brings brings us to another level...talk about saka on the left when he can't pull off overlaps and drop in and out when it matters is stupid. Luke will be the guy who gets the ball into the 6 yard area for an easy finish.

[@WatcherEAFC]

Southgate doesn't have the balls to make risky decisions on the pitch, no risk no reward. Gonna be the same as the last 4 games, slow pointless passing in our own half for 90 mins.
