England v Germany | Euro 2020 Last 16

[Cellarite]

Getting carried away is a part of football at times. Not all the time. You need to step up. I have seen the team and I can't believe he looks to be playing it safe. Now, they might do the business, but, is it the way you want to set up? And if it's not, why not?

No, I think the line up is wrong but I’m English and will support them until we’re out. You’ve said that you’ve known for a long time that Celtic’s board and manager needed to go and the squad weren’t good enough but we’re still on here telling us how they were going to hammer Rangers all last season.

Not since 2006 have I or anyone I know who understands football, gone into a tournament thinking England might win it and that was “might” not “will”.

I think if we win tonight somehow, we might get to the final but that’s not overhype - that’s backing the players if not the manager.

Just seen the lineup. Can’t complain anymore as you know what to get with Southgate. I can only sigh.

Another fucking boring team selection

Loved the football last night and just knew Southgate would suck the life out of any excitement for this game

So you think England have loads of cohesion in the 433 they've played so far?

Is that a joke?

We've struggled to create chances and score goals.

So let's sacrifice an attacker for an extra centre-back! ?

Can’t believe how negative that line up is.

He hasn't picked the right team yet.....has that evaded you?

And its not like you to move the goalposts.....

Who’s actually a fullback.

 

[Gray]

Well... look at that there, then!

75%defence, 25% offence.

We have lost this already.

I would put it 82% defence, 18% offence as Saka will be in for his defensive qualities.

I get why Southgate has opted for this setup.

He banking on creativity from the fullbacks (who have been good for their clubs) for crosses, and fast wingers behind, while using Walker to stop Werner's pace.

Very logical set-up to match Germany. People like to get angry over nothing on here.

If Southgate was on countdown he'd pick 8 consonants and one vowel
