Van der MoodHoover Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 So having been Czech-mated on Friday, will we be caught by the Bulgars? will Tangos moobs get another outing? Team thoughts, Southgate baiting and match chat in here folks. i was astonished by reports that Southgate was “contemplating “ a defensive change. I’d have thought that was nailed on!

Mr. P Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Surprised if he doesn’t drop Keane & Rice. They are shocking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Millenniumram Posted October 14, 2019 Share Posted October 14, 2019 Southgate defended his decision to go 4231 because he believed we needed “more defensive solidity” after Kosovo. Now, without even going into the fact that we were playing the pissing Czech Republic so shouldn’t need to worry about defending, that says a great deal about southgates lack of managerial prowess. I know Gareth, instead of, you know, dropping the defence that was so incapable it couldn’t even keep Kosovo out, let’s try the same defence again but waste players trying to protect the useless mugs! Utterly ridiculous. Now, I know the bloke has done a brilliant job so far so I ain’t calling him for the sack, but Christ with some of his decisions you do wonder how much was fluke/ down to pure talent at his disposal. He hasn’t suddenly become a genius since his time at boro. Supposedly Mings is starting tonight as well in a 3 at the back... may be biased because I think mings is an utter bamford, but why not tomori?! Surely he’s got to be the better player? FWIW I don’t think even with Paul Jewell in charge we can possibly lose tonight ffs, but I’d much rather see us play our actual best team for once- in an actual 433 that gets the best out of our front three!

It was poor, but england don’t have long term issues with them like Derby do imo. We struggle more with distributing the ball, which is where tomoris strengths lie.
