It's as if Southgate's so confident about this upcoming tournament that he's looking ahead to 2022.The City and Chelsea players will make a difference but it definitely doesn't feel like anything is coming home right now. Playing players he has no intention of taking makes no sense at all. Fair enough he's looking for someone to take instead of Alexander-Arnold but he should be well aware of everybody's capabilities by now. It seems like he was trying to placate these players he's leaving behind by giving them minutes where he should be putting a team out full of players who are about to enter the actual tournament.
Which is ... bold. And ludicrous.
