Southgate's selections are simply incoherent.
If you are going to play philips and Rice together, then you need attacking fullbacks that can deliver quality ball into the box.
Similarly you need to have creative AMs to create chances for Kane. Playing Sterling and Foden is too much scoring without creativity. Grealish should have been playing intead of one of them. Not sure Saka is the right fix but combining him with Sancho on the other flank would have been better imo
