Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 The team tonight apparently (not sure where Pickford has gone). I imagine we will end up with 7 players in defence at some points, a massive gap in the middle and 3 players isolated up front Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gemmill 44826 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 That absolute clown selecting an injured LB who hasn't played in 4 months, and has a history of breaking down when returning from injury, for a one month long competition. And then deciding that he was the only player required in that position. So now the only player from our faltering attack that you could say was functioning remotely well, is moved to the wrong side and the wrong end of the pitch. Arsehole. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex 35068 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Saka looked quite comfortable there when he slotted in at LB. But that was doing a job for the team for part of a match. Also in a back four. He’ll be expected to provide the left hand side width playing as a WB in a 3/5 at the back on his wrong side now. Eze looked good on the left too and, along with Gordon, seems a much better option there. Southgate seems absolutely clueless at this point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eze looked good on the left too and, along with Gordon, seems a much better option there. Southgate seems absolutely clueless at this point Saka is left footed so he has the “right” foot to play that position, I suppose. But it feels like he’s scrambling, taking one of the best inverted wingers in the league and playing him in a position he’s barely performed for years. He’s basically also taking Ian Wright’s advice too, which smacks of desperation. I guess you can say at least he’s trying something different because we have stunk out the tournament so far. It’s so defensive though. Surely you don’t need Rice and Mainoo in front of a back three. If he is going to play this formation he should drop Mainoo for a more attacking player. I still can’t believe Gordon isn’t getting a sniff 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21913 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 If the full backs don’t get high and stay high it leaves us with five at the back and just three attackers. Three at the back could be the way to go, but surely not set up like this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holden McGroin 6582 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 (edited) If he goes 3 at the back then he as no option other to play Saka there. TAA should be the other wing back. I’d let Rice sit then Bellingham and Foden as 8s. You could then argue whether to play someone off or alongside Kane as well. Not ideal. Again, this is all down to him not selecting a fit LB in the squad. Edited July 6 by Holden McGroin 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr Gloom 21913 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Surely we don’t need Rice and Mainoo screening the back three. Stones can step into midfield when we’re in possession. It’s too defensive. Same problem we had in the euro final with the Rice and Kalvin Phillips double pivot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted July 6 Author Share Posted July 6 He just needs to swap in Konsa for Guehi, play Gordon and Palmer on the wings and pick one of Bellingham/Foden to play no10. This is game number 5 where players haven't performed and have been put straight back in for the next match. Foden and Saka have created fuck all on the wings. As soon as we play someone half decent we are going to get turned over 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OTF 7295 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I know it's silly to think this at this stage, but surely it would be worth considering also starting with Kane on the bench and giving Toney or Watkins the opportunity to get at the Swiss defense? Then change it up by bringing Kane on. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBlue 763 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 if the change in formation is as some predict then maybe it makes sense not to change too much personnel wise -----------Pickford ---Walks - Stones - Konsa Trips - Mainoo - Rice - Saka ------ Foden - Bellend ----------- Kane Left footed Saka and right footed Trips on their preferred foot. Space for Trips and Saka out wide. Mainoo will push forward, it's in his nature ( i'm not sure his defending is that good so that's okay ) but they need to trust each other in tight spaces and move the ball quickly especially when they're set. i just hope it's not the same old back 4 setup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LondonBlue 763 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 If they’re playing a back 3 then Trent surely makes more sense than trips Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ayatollah Hermione 13862 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Same formation, just with Bellingham and Foden pushed up to Kane, leaving midfielder of the tournament, Xhaka, free rein to run the game. Great work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Renton 21594 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 I'm no tactical expert like but Southgate persistently gets less out of this team than the sum of its parts. Think a decent manager would have seen this team properly compete in WCs and ECs. Also they're shit to watch. Never mind, as you were... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monkeys Fist 42392 Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Fantastic play from England there, managing to get it back to T Rex from a corner. Tricky stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
