Clowngate strikes again Southgate is going to get fired - England fans furious with lineup against Italy

By Aditya Singh Modified 23 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share England fans react to starting lineup against Italy England fans are furious with Gareth Southgate's starting XI for UEFA Nations League clash against Italy at the San Siro in Milan tonight (September 23). The Three Lions are at the bottom of their group and are at risk of being relegated from League A if they fail to beat the Azzurri this evening. Southgate drew two of their previous four games and lost the other two. They played out a goalless draw against the Azzurri in the reverse fixture in September. Southgate has seemingly picked a back three for the clash, with Nick Pope in goal. Kyle Walker, Harry Maguire, and the returning Eric Dier in defence. Reece James and Bukayo Saka are expected to be the right and left wing-backs respectively. Jude Bellingham and Declan Rice could start in midfield. Raheem Sterling, Phil Foden and captain Harry Kane form the front three.

England manager Gareth Southgate backs Harry Maguire

Harry Maguire has come under immense criticism since the start of the 2021-22 season. His performances for Manchester United were often error-prone or lackadaisical. Maguire has been demoted to the bench under new United manager Erik ten Hag this season. He has started just three games this season, with United losing all three. However, Southgate has backed the England international, saying (via The Guardian): “Clearly, it’s not an ideal situation (with Maguire). We’re only a few weeks on from pre-season so, physically, if they’ve had a few 90 minutes, that’s fine. Another seven to eight weeks, that does start to become more complicated. But he is an important player for us, and it’s important to back our best players. Whatever reputation I have, I’m putting it on there." He praised Maguire and John Stones' ability on the ball and in the air, saying: "He is our most dominant aerial centre-back. Him and John (Stones) are incredible with the ball – the amount of pressure they have taken for the team in tournaments because we don’t always have that midfield pivot player who can progress the game. It means there is a huge amount more pressure on our centre-backs to use the ball well, and those two are as good as any in world football at doing that.” Stones is suspended for the game against Italy after he picked up a red card in England's embarrassing 4-0 defeat against Hungary in September.
