England v Scotland | Euro 2020 Group Stage

[cyan]

Well Gilmour and McGregor get the gig in the middle of the park - but McTomicrap at centre back? and how does O'Donnell stay in the team? he is going to make Sterling! I know there is clamour for Patterson - I don't know enough about him - so if Clarke is worried about inexperience - go with Forest, he will at least match sterling for pace and and can be threat going forward.

And Dykes up front! - well that is long to scare Stones and Mings into howls of laughter. Mind you, having said that I'm not sure who is a better option - hope Christie is hurting enough to come on and make a difference.

Really hope we give it a go - but - very very nervous.

Are we playing with three centre backs, two full backs and two holding midfielders ? Maybe Southgate has seen a threat from Scotland that nobody else has.

No? Looks like 4-3-3 with 2 cbs

 

[Franknorgrovesnephew]

Walker not even on the bench?

 

[Vicmeldrew666]

No St marcus of school meals or captain sideways and backwards penalty stealer? It surely is a travesty.

Souness had some ‘work’ done? He looks different

Sorry, my bad. I don’t know why but I thought I read that slabhead was starting. I need a drink !

Surprised he hasn't rotated the wingers at all, would have thought Grealish and Sancho start this one.

And a partridge in a pear tree!

Bit of botox, under the sunbed and maybe some weave on the barnet. Looks well!

Souness bang on about England performance v croatia.

Only a couple of days ago, Southgate was bragging about their being no leaks in the media from the England camp.

Today, leaksville.

Two defensive mids seems rather cautious...

My 4-1 prediction isn't looking too hot when the balance seems to be more defensive than attacking. Thought we might be a little more adventurous tbh.

 

[Colin Bells Boots]

Southgate probably wants James to peg Robertson back on that side. Different challenge to someone like Perišić

Would prefer somebody to peg that fucker out totally.

Sure you've not already started pal?

Win this, and then rotate the full team in the next game, dare I say lose that to avoid France / portugal

Erm, no.

edit, just seen you’re already aware that is not the case.

I can see Foden getting a lot of room with the Scots defenders concentrating on Kane and Sterling.
So glad Southgate hasn`t picked an unfit/unready Henderson or Maguire. Foden to score and assists. Hoping for a big, big win!

We have the players to score a few goals. all depends on whether we revert to the long ball after 10 minutes like normal

ITV need to stop messing around and put Neville on comms. Nothing against everyone else but apart from McCoist, there’s not much there.
