who plays on the left wing/back ?
Saka. He started off there for Arsenal. Can get up and down and provide width. Possibly a minor inconvenience to get about 4 other players into their best positions and give the team some actual balance.

Why do something radical though when you can just put Conor Gallagher in after seeing the effect he’s had off the bench! Keep the side completely unbalanced with an old right back left back, with Foden wasted on the left etc and very little supply for Kane from the flanks.

Still think he's bang average but credit where its due, impressive and mature comments from Rice here in response to criticism.
We shall have to agree to dissagree on Rice, I think he's been very good for Arsenal. But agree entirely on his comments. He hasn't lowered himself to the level of McLean.class response. McClean just looks more foolish.
 
It is only Slovenia. Same with Croatia in 2018 and both Serbia and Denmark 2024. None of those sides were scared of England and two of those sides got something out of the game.

It’s a shame that young English players are being constantly goaded all the time, criticised and pushed into responding.

Wish everyone would leave them alone during the tournaments.

Totally agree the pile in from the press since the first group game on various players doesn’t help and makes it look like they are playing with the weight of the world on their shoulders. The expectation is off the scale even though England’s last and only tournament win was 58 years ago, maybe if there wasn’t all this ‘it’s coming home’ shite every two years they might play with a bit of freedom and no fear.

England have been underperforming against both Serbia and Denmark and If it was against France, Germany or Spain no chance of them playing with freedom

I think the vast bulk of the criticism has been reserved for Southgate. This narrative that the players are at fault is just deflection tactics.

I agree. Everyone knows these payers play for the top clubs in europe (mostly). We've seen their quality. Theres no way they cant string 4 passes together unless they are set up in a system that prohibits it or they havent trained in any patterns of play.
Only real criticism is Kane who cant run and Pickford whos a knob

Are you being paid by the FA?
Is there an equivalent one of you on every teams forum?
I respect an optimistic outlook, but you are bordering on 'Mormons knocking on house doors cold calling' to convince the non believers of the "right way"
When nothing anyone says can convince you of the trash we are being served up, and you are defending, it becomes cult level unequivocal blind faith.
If we played shite, and actually won a tournament playing shite, I could even get on board your hypeist of hype trains.
But, alas, it has not happened.
