England v Germany | Euro 2020 Last 16

[BigOscar]

We always wondered what England would be like if they developed some technically gifted players, now we know. Refuse to play them all, park the bus and practice penalties 6 months in advance

Said to a mate last night the knock out games to date (tight/cautious fòr first half hour or so) have give him (Southgate) the perfect excuse to go ultra cautious to start with, and fair enough I could go with that if he had the balls to make offensive changes at half time or very early in second half - foden , grealish, mount and go for it.

It's going to take something unexpected to get us through this, if not a painful 90 mins ahead, God forbid extra time, fingers crossed

My one hope is we keep it to a draw until later on in the second half, bring Foden on when the German’s are shattered.

Will be Rashford not Foden he puts on I bet

 

[waspish]

Just hope with us parked in our pen box we don’t give away any silly pens Walker is one I worry about.

 

[Odd socks]

Bit like some city teams when Pep rests players, you look at the bench and think the bench would beat the team playing.
Very little to get excited about.

 

[Gaylord du Bois]

This prick would've left Gascoigne on the bench.

come on germany bum fuck this clueless manager of england

for the first time in a long time england have some of the best young attacking midfield players in the world and southgate leave them out for the route one football he only knows how to play

I’d share this sentiment mate if I thought it would make a fuck of difference. This dizzy **** will never get sacked, he is a dim witted clueless **** of a human being. Even if we somehow fluke a win I’ll think no different

 

[Protein Junkie]

I’m sure waistcoat would pick two keepers if he could.
Benching the most talented Kid in a generation is scandalous.
I had some brick acid delivered today so I’ll watch that dry instead.

 

[ONTHERUNWITHTHAKSIN]

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.

Are you Scottish

 

[shevtheblue]

England might do a job here, but ffs we're at home with some of the best young attacking talent we've had in years, on the bench. If you were going to play this formation, it should have at least been tested out in the friendlies.
