Tuchel played seven defensive players in the Champions League Final and that was lauded as a tactical masterclass. We just need to find England’s Kanté
Predicted exactly that at the start of the thread, like most I'd rather go out having a real go, than play 7 defenders, 2 quick players and Kane, if he wants to play that way, I don't know why he bothered to pick the likes of Grealish, Foden, Mount, Bellingham or Sancho. What a waste of talent.Only that negative **** would play wingbacks with saka, but not have him playing wingback. It's a flat back 5 with 2 holding midfielders then just 2 fast lads chasing long balls while Harry kane stands on thhalfway line trying to buy freekicks
I think you miss read his post.
‘If you think last night was exciting, I’m only starting 8 defensive players today’ confirms swashbuckling Southgate
With yesterday’s games providing the most thrilling day of the tournament so far, Southgate has confirmed there will be more of the same later, but even more exciting as he looks to play with two, or maybe even three, attack-minded payers.
England manager Gareth Southgate has revealed today that the excitement is set to continue in the European Championships and that we have seen nothing yet as he plans to start with only EIGHT defensive players in tonight’s crucial last 16 match against Germany.
Speaking earlier he revealed, “You thought that was exciting last night? Wait till you see what I have planned for the nation this evening."

Sterling will get shit win or lose from the chair chuckers.Can see Sterling coming in for a bit of stick later because he won't get the ball as Southgate's benched all the creative players.
I think Southgate will outfox you all and start Foden, Grealish, Sancho, Saka, Sterling & Bellingham :)
Ironic that it will be the English players diving in the box tonight.
Would Southgate have picked Gazza in 1990?
