England v Switzerland - Sat 6th July, 17:00 | Euro 2024 Quarter-Final

Looking like this is the team, looks way more balanced, Foden gets to go central with Saka holding the width and Konsa can shift to the left side of defence.

Not having that prick playing before Palmer.

Sky sports writers.

Ok.

So what you want about them, and I have, but they help shape the narrative among England fans, unfortunately.

Only the weak-minded.

Also, let’s be fair, as soon as the tournament started a thread appeared solely devoted to the stick Foden would get. From what I’ve seen he’s not taken anymore than anyone else. Infact listening to talksport you’d hear that some challenge Southgate about his position regarding Bellingham and Foden.

The reported team/shape should provide a more balanced performance, still no one to stay up or run in behind though when kane inevitably decides he wants to be pirlo. Bellingham next to rice and watkins up top IMO

Hopefully with Saka and TAA wide it allows them to keep width and get balls in the box. Key will be ensuring they actually play as wing backs, but with southgate i fear that will purely be a flat back 5 and they won't get up the pitch. That happens, Foden and bellingham get dragged wide and Kane drops deep.

Its southgate, we all know how it will play out.

Agreed, could easily get pegged back then without an extra striker to stay high we end up with 11 inside our own half and its painful to watch once again. It has the potential to get the best out of players who haven’t performed so far, even saka being make shift wing back could work well. But….southgate init

 

[Blue Mist]

Luke Shaws fit to play so instead of a back 3 with 2 wing backs, Southgate will have 4 at the back plus 2 wing backs.
Got to be careful, it is Switzerland after all.

Yeah defo, it certainly can’t be any worse than what has gone before it, so I’m all for a change.

 

[KS55]

I’m dreading this. We are so negative and slow. No chance.
Possible changes.
Saka at LB.
New CB to replace suspended man. (No idea who is in form in training) Konsa?
Gordon wide left, Palmer wide right.
Phil at 10.
Bellingham as fox in the box, second striker.
Toney for Kane.
4-1-3-2
………..
The waistcoat won’t do any of this.

England camp filled with weak-minded folk, then!
