RadioactiveWaste Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 After a draw against the Netherlands and crushing Luxembourg 1-0 I think England need to fear Davie Marshall's Scotland team who are going to be making a major push to finish last in the group.

uttoxram75 Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 I just assume Southgate will err on the side of safety like every England manager since 1970 and we'll lose. We just never seem to have a manager with the gonads to go for it when it matters. Angry Ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ariotofmyown Posted June 6, 2021 Share Posted June 6, 2021 Could we play Grealish, Foden and Mount with Kane? Then either 4 at the back with 2 in front, or 3cbs, 2 wing backs and one in front. Can also really changes things up with 2 of Rashford, Sancho and Sterling coming on as wingers. Bit late in the day to be trying new formations, but this is during Covid I guess.

Bit late in the day to be trying new formations, but this is during Covid I guess. The pundits Xi for Croatia had a 433 with Mount in midfield and grealish/sterling and Rashford /Foden up with kane. Mount is probably better a bit deeper tbf. What seems a bit late is the development of partnerships with great understanding. Mings /Shaw and Godfrey /White were more brand new combinations and they both got easily carved open. Might be that Southgate has to go 3 cbs for that reason - we don't have a 4 that are used to playing together. Rammy03 and ariotofmyown 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Day Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 Picked as Southgate sweats over Maguire’s fitness. We could have….erm….not picked Maguire, but this is England, taking injured players into major tournaments is what we do best. Hope they will be available after the group stages, to then lose immediately after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Played better than Phillips I thought. I do not understand the hype around Phillips. What does he do? Every game he has played for England he has been the worst player on the pitch, always plays safe passes backwards, takes too many touches before making those backwards passes. He kills any momentum, which is surprising as aren't Leeds meant to be this fast attacking team?

No, I went to use the toilet, you know how exciting football can get sometimes.... the whole tournament was amazing, obviously the Holland game was the best, I do remember complaining bitterly that we had to pay 45 for a ticket though....seems some things haven’t changed.

Ghost of Clough Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 3 minutes ago, Premier ram said: would have Foden in ahead of Grealish England's main strength is attacking set-pieces. No player will get fouled as much as Grealish, so he has to be in there. Overall, Grealish outperformed Foden last season. Let's also not forget that was in a weaker side, and Grealish would have had less space on the pitch than Foden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoetheRam Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I don't really understand the approach in the last two friendlies. Surely getting players on the pitch who are going to play together would be better preparation than playing a bunch of players not in the squad and a bunch of fringe players who you hope to God barely play a minute in the tournament? Tiredness, fitness management blah blah blah I suspect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
