Yeah, although you can kinda understand why, with both of them. But it's mad that Sancho has barely had any minutes till now. Henderson is still understandable, considering he hasn't played a lot recently due to the injury, and Rice and Phillips were more mobile.If it was anyone bar Southgate it'd be mad he hasn't started already. One of the top young attacking talents in World football barely playing in a major tournament? Utter madness, And with a distinct lack of leadership, if Henderson isn't now starting in place of Rice, he deserves all he gets the tougher the tournament gets,
But it is Southgate. So neither is any surprise.
Honestly though, I'd replace Rashford with Sancho. Rashford should have ideally had his surgery and rested (and skipped Euros), but eh.
I think, from now on, he may alternate sides. Sterling and Kane seem nailed on starters, so it might be Saka/Rashford to stretch defences and Sancho/Grealish as creators. Sterling's decision making has been quite sketchy (excluding the mistake that almost led to the equaliser). Need to get someone else on the left, Sterling barely linked up whereas Grealish and Shaw connected well for both goals.
