[@rhyschadwick3269]

He looks good. But it's way to soon to be dishing out all this praise. We haven't seen enough of him. Other than playing well he hasn't actually done very much. He did very little last night. He wasn't the difference going forward not was he the difference going back. We conceded 2 goals with him playing (not his fault but people were screaming for his inclusion because he can defend) and the only goal from open play came as a result of the guy brought on to replace him. Take him for the experience. Bring him on as sub when we're comfortably winning. But don't start him. Kid needs a few more years to get some experience and cement himself as a baller just like Bellingham did.

[@PRICESGOINGUP]

Credit to ten Hag He’s been working on our youth teams since the day he came in and we are reaping the benefits now, the Man Utd u21s have an identical style to the Ajax team that everyone was so impressed by a few years back. You can see this in Kobbie’s game very similar to Frenkie De Jong and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

[@RandomVideosFirst]

Re Mainoo As a arsenal fan I initially thought he was over hyped and doubted him but having watched him closer over the last few weeks he is a certified baller and could reach Bellingham levels in the next couple years maybe sooner. he’s stepped up and took to football at the international and premier league football like a duck to water . With all that’s happening at United and chaos in how they play at time makes him even more impressive to still affect games , if United can get someone like Everton’s Onana he will cook even further.

Lets be honest, bellingham just scores goals. Not as good technically. Different players.

[@rhyschadwick3269]

Rate him highly, certainly one for the future. But I think everyone's over hyping him. As we've done for several players over the years. He's played decently and has stood out in a underperforming united squad but what's he actually done compared to other English midfielders this season? Very little. He played well last night but we still conceded two. The only goal from open play came from our two most attacking and most creative and most inform players. One of which replaced Mainoo. Maddison starts over Mainoo for me if we want to score goals and win something that is.

[@ryang2819]

@@rhyschadwick3269Saying Manioo has done very little with no substance is nonsense, he literally created the first goal if that’s all you’re concerned about. Maddison isn’t competing with Manioos spot. Gallagher and Henderson are and Mainoo is miles above them. Maddison is competing against foden,palmer, Bellingham, Bowen for a spot further forward.

[@rhyschadwick3269]

@@ryang2819 Saying that Mainoo has done anything and giving him all this praise without substance is what's nonsense. Bellingham and Toney created the first goal. Bellingham's pass and Toney's ability to draw fouls in the box plus his penalty taking skills. Let's not partake in this thing where give assists for assisting the assister. If we start doing that you can make the argument the guy who passed to Mainoo is responsible for the goal and so on. But also what's he done at club level nothing particularly special there either. Certainly no more than Maddison, Gallagher, Ward Prowse, Bowen. Maddison is competing with Mainoos spot. It's a midfield spot and Maddison is first and for most a midfielder. We don't have to play with 2 holding midfielder we could play with 2 attacking midfielders. Bellingham and rice are nailed on so in that case Maddison is competing with Mainoo. Because if either play it will certainly be without the other abs alongside rice and Bellingham. Maddison was actually Mainoos replacement last night. He came on for Mainoo.

Correct, Southgate has managed to build a great team. Especially when a few years ago England's national football future was looking bleak.

[@rhyschadwick3269]

@@billybigballs3325 It doesn't need to be one or the other playing as a 10. Bellingham doesn't need to drop back so Maddison can go forward. They can both play advanced rolls up the pitch. like they did last night after Maddison came on for Mainoo, both combining to create our only goal from free play. I like Mainoo. Certainly one to watch for the future. I'd certainly take him. But he's not what we need right now and he lacks the experience. What we need is creativity and ability going forward and there's better players for that. We've done the double pivot thing for years now and it hasn't worked. Didn't work last night either. Belgium I'd argue is a big game. Ball control, hold up play all worthless if he lacks the experience to do something with it. Again as we saw last night. Didn't work for England until we played to our strengths which is in attack and once we shifted to attack we got the result. Definition of madness doing the same exact thing and expecting a different result. Got best by a Brazil team we should've beat and drew to a Belgium team we should've beat. Let's mix it up. Drop a holding midfielder and play with an extra attacker and see what happens.

[@southwestendz1022]

Whats dangerous about mainoo is if you stay off him he'll run into space and make a problem.. if you come to him he has the vision to pass to someone in space still creating a problem.. when he gets the ball he always looks like he's in space because i think he has people in two minds in what is he going to do because not only can he run into spaces and pass into spaces he can also take on one or 2 players.. united need to build a team around him in the middle.. and england have rice and Bellingham i mean thats just almost a perfect combination in the middle..

Midfield was set two weeks ago, Mainoo is the only ball playing midfielder in the country. People saying the issue is defence are ignoring how slow Kane will make this team. No option at CB other than Maguire & Stones anyway. A lot of talk about Southgate style of play, but Kane is best as a hold up player with his back to goal, you need Saka on the right for pace behind him, but for the same reason that means Foden is not a lock on the left. Foden struggles for not having an out & out position, Kane, Bellingham & Foden all trying to occupy similar spaces, no one in behind doesn't work, slows us down. It also creates a reliance on an overloaded midfield & a perfect last pass, when most international teams play a low block. That's why Rashford may play, he's quicker and better going the other way. His form needs to improve his form badly for England's sake. Luke Shaw is a massive miss too, Chilwell is nowhere near his level & options there are suddenly poor. The left side is a bigger issue than CB or Midfield

[@badassmoviescenes9741]

England needs to work on that defensive problem, they're so horrible, those two goals were so avoidable.The same issue from last game with Brazil, defensive mistakes

Better than usual for southgate/maguire where we don't press and wait to counter

[@scottbutler1475]

Gareth always worrying about defence with the forwards and midfielders we have let's go hammer for blow like Ferguson used to just outscore the opponent. It would strike fear into any team letting kane, Bellingham, foden, saka ect of the leash

Maino6qnd bowen Englands best two players tonight

[@derrickmangeni5214]

Mino is Avery good middie fillder I like him

[@khurmiful]

Play Foden on the left and get this kid in with Rice and Jude. Because the back four is a worry, need a solid midfield.

[@LukeRedDevil]

Nobody would be comparing him to seedorf if rio hadnt said it first 😂😂😂 lazy lazy comparisons that people say to make themselves look like established pundits 😂 Thats taking nothing away from mainoo as an individual player though hes an absolute gem, hes 18....what a player

[@wezaiii868]

People been comparing him to seedorf since the academy days tbh with you

Southgate is so dull. Doesn’t sound bothered about winning. Just happy with taking part. Terrible

[@user-ne3sy9gj5p]

No doubt a generation talent. Let's see how he develops over the next few years.

[@AshBashSneakers]

If Gallagher and Henderson are 2 of the best 5 midfielders in the entire country that’s shocking

[@deathbystereo-]

"when you play with mainoo you are more open without the ball" this is why southgate wont win anything. his first thoight is be negative. also mainoo recovered the ball more than rice. hasnt a clue

[@drownem2920]

Gareth won’t start him. He played down having him in there cause it was ‘more open’.

[@eltonpope9370]

Cundy talking sense gor once this kid Mainoo is gonna be World class i,ve seen him in the flesh many times ans seriously him is special these types of players don't come round very often his awareness and football I.Q is next level he has to partner Rice and Bellingham

[@gerard394]

Really nice passes 😂😂😂😂😂

[@Carl-bg7er]

The answer. Gazza, Gerrard, Lampard, Scholes etc were all the answers...😂😂😂😂

[@mickmoy2592]

I'm a united fan and England have enough quality to win euros without mainoo. The reason England can't win recent tournaments is purely down to Southgate. He's not good enough ffs.

[@United_Wings]

Ten Hag's Mainoo 😊

[@user-kb6ry3ol5i]

Rice is an unbelievable player top top player

[@Lee19976]

Guaranteed he'll play Henderson and Rice and give Mainoo a 15 min cameo too scared to take a risk.

[@KaashiefMartin-qy1qn]

Now Mainoo is the Answer ...Rashford was also the Answer,first win something then you Answer the Answer

[@kelnash4533]

If Southgate has any football brain make Rice sit in front of defence.,let Mainoo roam around in mid up and down connecting plays., Bellingham play that free role as a 10

[@nicknewman7848]

That's exactly what he did tonight

[@michaelhenry6821]

England midfield should be rice manoo and fodden upfront should be saka kane and then Palmer/ rashford Bowden. You wonder where Bellingham he should play at the He would be the best solution for England he can do it all and no more dunk . Maguire .fodden can run the show with Palmer and saka and manoo. You can bring on grealish or maddisen. England would be more solid with Bellingham at the back and you build from defence.

[@Discombobulate453]

Yet Southgate will prefer the 'industry' of Connor Gallagher and the 'experience' of Jordan Henderson. Southgate is only experimenting because they were frendlies. He's FAR too scared to mess with his formula in an actual tournament.
