Can't see Southgate picking Ollie in knockout stages. Kane will now stay on in case it goes to pens, Ivo is then ideal to come on as 2nd striker cos how good he is on pens. 

Unless Kane gets injured.

actually i was thinking the opposite, No point in Watkins coming in at the weeknd against a low block as others have said. But against a better team where we have time to run in behind I can see Southgate using him (like he did against Denmark).

You're assuming there is any logic to any of the Southgate subs. 
Ollie came on against Denmark just because.

Can’t believe the hype and attention Toney is getting the **** donkey. Ollie is much the better player. 

it was expected with this set up though, toney is more of a direct replacement for kane and we have a manager who threw toney on to "create chaos" rather than play even to his strengths

ollie is wasted on southgate, just like most of that squad

Southgate's comments saying he felt bad for how late or few minutes he gave Toney make it even more likely he gets on ahead of Watkins this weekend. A shame for Ollie but keeps him fresher for Villa at least

Unfortunately, in a real game, that greasy spaffer Harry Kane will be shoving him out the way there so he can blast it over the bar himself.

I wish there was a say to Ollie "you're better off without this word removed liking you" but he's only mortal, he's got to be sitting there with Palmer going "The **** we have to do to get into the XI for this moribund squad?"

What a load of rubbish! That would imply that Harry Kane was actually in the penalty area?…

The Toney hate is a little cringe. He's a good forward and did well when he came on, given the limited service in that woeful Southgate side.

He was banned for half of the season…

He might be a good forward, but Ollie has done way more this year to deserve a chance than Toney…

I'm 100% sure Southgate tells him "Oliver, you might get your chance, Harold is number one but anything can happen - remember Geoffrey in 1966."

No doubt southgate is telling Ollie

"if you were playing for a sky scum 6 team then I would pick you to play, just give them a call to see if they have a vacancy. Then next season when you are maybe playing for Spurs and not scoring any goals I will pick you in the england starting 11"

I think you are right, but just playing devil's advocate for a second, if we're going on who deserves to start based on how they did last year, Harry Kane scored 36 goals in 32 league appearances and 8 in 12 Cup games.
