England v Germany | Euro 2020 Last 16

It doesn't really matter what team he picks, it's still going to be the same dull and uninspired football. Even with the best attackers we have all playing.

If England really are as bad as everyone is suggesting, then it's smart for England to set up on the counter.

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

England needs to develop some technically gifted managers next

I like your breakdown, but theres no chance southgate is that astute and what we will see is 85 minutes of pickford lumping it long to kane or sterling.

With Saint Fishfingers as first sub

 

[blue for life]

This prick would've left Gascoigne on the bench.

You are probably right there!

 

[tolmie's hairdoo]

What a fucking spineless coward Southgate is.

Imagine not selecting any of the four most talented playmakers in Europe in Foden, Mount, Grealish and Sancho.

English football reverting to type.

 

[FantasyIreland]

If only there was a game in the last 10 days where we could see how a very similar line up would fare against Germany?

Nothing has changed from my first comment,we are playing to their tune when they should be dancing to ours.

 

[Revolver]

It appears the Greek team of 2004 is the role model. How inspiring.

Lol, you'd do anything to drop Sterling I suppose

Don't know much about Saks, but the other 2 are definitely more skilfull players. But if Southgate wants pace then Sterling has it.

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

if you let the Germans play they will hurt you just ask the france and holland that played the same way

 

[Blue Llama]

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.

Who are these crosses intended for? If from the right it's to a totally out of form number 9 or a below average height Sterling. If from the left its to the same out of form striker and a 10 stone inexperienced wide man who will be easily bullied off the ball.
