Euro 24

[Ayatollah Hermione 14702]

I do find it funny how he won’t try Gomez at LB when he’s played there all season for Liverpool but will try TAA in CM when he rarely plays there for Liverpool. About sums the whole tournament up

Dave, with respect, how THE FUCK would you know anything about delivering instructions to a barber. 

Fuck you, I remember my teenage years with a fair degree of clarity! You'll remember the 90s, that would have been around the time of your first marriage ending.

Dave: Barber, do you have anything to keep my hair in.

Barber: How about this box, sir?

-------------Pickford---------

Walker--Stones--Guehi--Shaw

---------Rice----Mainoo------

Palmer---Bellingham---Gordon

-------------Kane------------

 

But bring on the likes of Watkins, Toney, Bowen, Eze, Wharton with 20-30mins to go to stretch the game.

that looks good enough, though shaw is apparently nowhere near matxh fitness - ridiculous to bring only one natural left back, who is injured. 

 

i'd go like this for Slovakia

Same. Id be tempted to swap Gomez for Trippier but with Gordon in front of him he might have an opening to tuck inside and get some shots/inswingers in.

Gomez is also right footed so I don't see him as any more of an upgrade at LB tbh

He is more athletic, has played there regularly this season and would offer more flexibility in tucking in to be a 3rd CB while Walker can go high ( a bit like Man City / we do). 
 

It’s a moot point though as Southgate will stick with the same team (bar Mainoo) on Sunday.

Same team for me. Or keep Saka in then have Gordon or Palmer as the option on the bench. At least one of those two should start. Saka hasn’t impressed but being the only one in the side capable of making runs behind their defence has made it difficult for him. I.e. defences being able to double up on him. Due to them knowing he’s the only one in the front 4 (of the starting XIs so far) with genuine pace. Honestly though, you could make a good case for any of Saka, Kane, Bellingham or Foden not starting. If you don’t perform and still start, what sort of message does that send to the likes of Toney, Gordon, Watkins and Palmer? It might actually help those players you leave out. As there’s usually more gaps etc if you come in for the last 30 mins or so. Might give them a much needed kick up the jacksie too. As Holden says though, all this discussion seems a bit moot.

When you look at the stats Palmer, Gordon, Watkins and Bowen etc have put up this season, it's fucking mental that they are only getting 5min cameos at the end of games

That was Jack Docherty & Moray Hunter etc, can’t remember the name of the show now. Morwenna Banks too, Baddiel’s missus. That character just hated England and the English, that was the joke

I see you have Saka as the only one of the front 4 with genuine pace. At the last world cup Saka was clocked at 33.2 km/h, a little slower than englands third fastest player Foden who clocked 33.6 km/h. ( Walker was fastest at 34.4 and Gashford second at 34.2)

 

tbf not many realise just how quick foden is.

 

More recently Foden was clocked as Englands second quickest in the opening week (after Walker oc)  euro 2024 link 

 

Having said that Walker isn't the fastest player in Citys squad. Can you guess without looking it up? 

 

Gordon is obviously quicker but will he get the chance to show it.

 

Fodens having to go hunt the ball as he isn't getting it wide left. Not really fair, but life isn't
