    I've been saying it for months: all these people drooling over Foden, Grealish, Mount, Maddison etc seem to be forgetting that Southgate is picking the team.

    If a match against Albania warrants Rice and Phillips together, you can only dread how defensive he'll go at the Euros should we face top opposition.

    For what? Had every right to try and get that ball and he got there first.

    It was very reckless to say the least. Wasn't in control of the challenge at all.

    Have you ever played football? He wasn't trying to challenge that's why, he was sliding in for a shot.

    The challenge reminded me of Dunk getting sent off going for the ball trying to score earlier in the season.

    Doesn't mean you can do it in a reckless manner.

    How else was he meant to slide in for the shot? Honestly.

    James has been pretty poor since he came on. Saints players don't get second chances!

    How is Dixon saying Lingard was motm against San Marino?

    He was always going to commit a foul in that situation. He may have got a touch on the ball but had to go through the defender to do it. And they way he slid in with studs up was potentially dangerous. Probably just a yellow in hindsight, but it wasn't a good challenge.

    I wonder what he thinks of you :D

    I'm sure he followed it up by saying something about how many chances Lingard had to score in the game (and therefore how many he squandered!)

    Che with an assist for Fraser to equalise for Scotland. 1 - 1. Subbed off 74th Minute. Armstrong stays on the bench.

    Finished 1 - 1. Armstrong got ten minutes, too little, too late.
