England v Germany | Euro 2020 Last 16

[SWP's back]

Pish has many hues. Can you narrow it down a tad.

Strong summer hangover pish.

Strong summer hangover pish.

Ah, at least I have context now.

Expecting another hard luck story with our creative/flair players getting splinters in their arses , when the chips are down Southgate just isnt at the level of other international team managers , he can only play one way , ultra defensive with pointless possession with the sole tactical aim to stifle the opposition. Expecting another clean sheet and penalty shoot out defeat, it would be refreshing if Southgate surprised the Germans and played with one holding midfielder and start with our two best attacking midfielders in Foden & Grealish and took the game to a very average German team , pigs might fly.

Yep i agree.

Reports say Southgate's contract will be extended, the 'yes men' must be happy.

I doubt he will competely change his defensive mindset either and we'll struggle unless he makes positive changes or we up our game by 90%.

I expect us to lose, probably on penalties

Pickford

Walker
Stones
Maguire
Shaw

Mount
Rice
Henderson
Grealish

Sterling
Kane

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

I note the clamour by the media to get their man into the England team, worse being Sky’s never-ending footage and interviews with Grealish.

Will Southgate have the stones to play who he thinks will be the best team or will he cave and give them what they want?

Probably the wrong thread but, if BFS hadn't gone and done a Hancock and got caught, would England be in a better position and would there more confidence in the way we should play?
I know it's only ifs and buts, but.....

Stay away from those mushrooms you found.

Foden to absolutely tear it up.

Everybody else to be absolute shite.

4-1 Germania.

A few media reports that Foden will start, hopefully true.

I think Southgate all but confirmed this when he said Mount and Foden were the two players on set pieces and how that impacted the Czech Republic game. That's why Foden was rested because with Mount isolating, he needed to be 100% sure Foden was available for this game.

Southgate will be pleased, this is the very game he’s been practicing with 2 DM’s for. It will be just bad luck if the Germans realise this and adjust their game plan as a result.....

If only we’d have had the time and the opposition to practice other formations...oh well.
