England v USA – Fri 25th Nov, 19:00 | Group B | World Cup 2022

I'd put Phillips on for Rice. Someone with a bit of passing range would make a big difference.

Rice looks one paced and his passing makes Ray Wilkins look ambitious

Can we try a sustained press just for 3 minutes, this is 2022. But how the fuck do you do it with Kane? Our MF positioning is horrendous and we all know it is on this manager. Rice starts retreating and morphing into his CBs, you know we are in trouble.

Saka and Mount were always going to struggle because the Americans have given them no room - predictably. And they don't have the nous to put pressure on the Americans when they have the ball.

If it's still 0-0 at the hour we will win. Grealish & Foden will change the game.

Theyd have to come on first. If its 0-0 after the hour, it will finsh 0-0

Fucking hell Neville!

 

[VOOMER]

Mount is Waistcoats love child. He's not a midfield player he's just a bang average striker and lazy with it. Get Phil on and White on for Trippier

 

[DTKOAG]

Well said Gaz

 

[The slaughtered lamb]

There’s just a void in central midfield for England

It’s called Declan Rice.

 

[Crooked_rain]

For once I agree with Gary the Rat

 

[Lavinda Past]

Load of shit.

Standard Southgate tactics against a side that would struggle in the Championship.

Fatlad Shaw looks our most dangerous forward.

We'll lose this if He doesn't make early changes.

Stones should have told Southgate that they're trying to get higher up the pitch but Mount, Saka and Kane keep giving them the ball back.
