Irate fan tells Southgate to start winger for England... then realises he's not English
 


 
 
AN irate England fan launched into a radio rant last night - and made himself look like a right tool in the process!
 
He rung up BBC's 606 programme after watching England beat Lithuania 2-0 - but he wasn't impressed.
 
 So he told Robbie Savage what he really thought, demanding Gareth Southgate starts Wilfried Zaha.
 
 All well and good - except Zaha actually plays for Ivory Coast after turning his back on England last year.
 
 The fan named Gary said: "I've had more fun watching paint dry. It was unconvincing, underwhelming and boring. I want to go back to the days of Paul Gascoigne and Chris Waddle.
 
 "I've had enough - as many England fans have - of Raheem Sterling, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Adam Lallana. They just haven't performed."
 
 Host Savage took exception to that and said: "Oh come on, I think Lallana has been very good over the last two games."
 
 Gary reluctantly agreed and said: "Okay - a bit better - but we should have had Ross Barkley in there. It's all down to selection in my opinion.
 
 "We should be selecting ball players. I would go for Marcus Rashford up front right from the beginning.
 
 "I'd have Ross Barkley and Southgate should say: 'I want you to be my Paul Gascoigne. Take people on, create things'.
 
 "And then I'd have Wilfried Zaha from Crystal Palace. Give him a try. He's much better than Sterling.
 
 "Give him some confidence, build him up - get Zaha on the pitch running at people."
 
 Except there's a problem that Savage quickly notices.
 
 He explained: "Didn't Zaha score for Ivory Coast the other night?"
 
 Gary replied: "Oh, I thought he was still eligible for England."
 
 To which Savage responded: "He scored for Ivory Coast the other night - that rules him out!"
