If you had a back three it would be Guehi, Stones and Walker surely. Proper balanced. Trent laa right and yeah, out of desperation maybe Gordon could get back when we’re defending? That’s not his position though. Should be Shaw obviously!
Problem for Shaw is match fitness - would likely still do a better job than Trippier ... my fear about Trent is defensively - I think he's a fine player when we are dominating ... but against the very ordinary Serbs and Danes we were getting outplayed for a significant amount of time - if we are playing someone good that means we will have to do a lot more defending - and with Trent as one full back / wing back up against the Spanish or French for instance ... doesn't bare thinking about - these guys are much better than Martinelli at Arsenal and he completely bamboozled Trent ....
Both have had decent chances to score. I want Italy to be better than this though, the football is workmanlike rather than clever or with a bit of flair like last euros.
Rooney has put a stone on since arriving in Germany. Bloke will be ****ed after three months of pasties.
Modric will save the day. For all mankind. They need to win so hopefully create some urgency in the 2nd half.
Did he say that?.....he's been the way he has for as long as I can remember him, he's not going to change.
