I’m okay with the 5 at the back to counter Germany’s wing backs. I would’ve had Foden or Grealish in there though. At least we have a lot of attacking threat to come on, should we need it.
Too many players still dining out on one good result against the Dutch & a Gazza wonder goal. What about the perfectly good Spanish goal, that should have knocked us out? I try not to be cynical, but it only highlights even greater failure in between..
Spineless manager. Goes with a a safe and defensive formation and leaves heaps of talent on the bench; AGAIN! I'm underwhelmed. Also, very disappointed at a 09:00 PST kickoff. If we were the second game of the day, I could be watching over a few lunchtime IPAs.
Being the glass half full guy I am about Southgate I think Germany will win based on England's initial set up......wonder what price Germany are on Betfair....
He was pulling the shirt so had to have a yellow. Worst Germany side in my lifetime. Infact if Henry the 8th was still alive he would be saying it's the worst in his too. A few of their star players underperformed at club level and we have huge home advantage and yet to conceed. We will have no better chance to beat them in a major tournament than today.
All you have to do is stick someone pacey at the side of hummells and stick balls over the top. He’s so slow he looks like he’s running backwards.
8 players including gk who are more interested in defending doesn't excite me alot of pressure on the other 3 to produce.
