    FACT CHECK

    This stat is not true.  Repeat, not true.  Such is my devotion to Gareth that I've found a site with all the historic FIFA rankings on it, and married this up against all our match dates.

    Games against Top 10 (Top 10 at the time we played them) = 20
    Wins = 5
    Draws = 7
    Losses = 8

    Losses include the dead rubber group game against Belgium and the third place playoff, also Nations League games when we were rotating players.  Wins came against Switzerland (2018 friendly), Spain & Croatia (Nations League), Belgium (Nations League), Denmark (Euros).  But excludes the wins against Croatia and Germany at Euro 2020 because they were just outside the top 10 at the time.

    And want to talk about PROGRESS?

    Up to and including WC 2018 our Top 10 success rate was:
    P7, W0, D3, L4

    Post WC2018 it is:
    P13, W5, D4, L4

    Same. Old. Southgate.

    Our pool of players is significantly better now than it was leading up to 2018, which abound be taken into consideration.

    Didn't you? Committed third of the team to marking Mbappe, leaving you with way less firepower. You had to do so because CBs have no pace. I'm not talking just about this match.

    You didn't bottle it as a team, it's just that Kane isn't that guy. Never was, never will be. You can talk about golden boots and all, but first show me his goals in big matches against top teams that weren't penalties. In FM terms, his finishing goes down by 5 points compared to club form.

    Saka, Bellingham, Foden and others can be those guys, just have to get someone who will let them play and get rid of old players with weak mentalities. 

    I mean big goals for club? There’s **** loads.

    Country- problem is we aren’t proactive enough, it’s not like he’s missing loads of chances
