He's apparently injured l, continually dropping deep and doesn't look a threat. It's clearly not working so what have we got to lose?
He's always done that. The difference is that he had Sterling bombing around and pulling defenders out of position, and often going long for him.
Huge ask for Watkins to slip straight in. Just need more width, balance and pace to stretch teams to give him the room to operate in. We also need players arriving at the back post and edge of the box that never materialised a few times tonight.
The team is set up to fit the stars in and not get the best out of our strikers. A bit like Mowbray last year.
It doesn’t matter who plays man, they’re being given instructions by a clown. People are talking about replacing players like Foden, Bellingham and Kane like that’s normal…
He's a very good player but totally dictates our formation, tactics and style of play ... ... it's so predictable it's a gift to our opponents. Despite all his goals we've won nothing with him.
Pickford Walker Stones Guehi Trippier Rice Bellingham Palmer Foden Gordon Kane I dare you to be bold Southgate
Drop your best striker because the team haven’t won anything with him in it.. why didn’t bloody spurs think of that years ago they could of been PL champions if they went with Dane Scarlett and the element of surprise
Bang on. Almost as bad as Jobe’s performance against the Saudis in the cup. please log in to view this image
To meet Gareth desperate needs to be defensively sounds I would suggest a back 3. Pickford Walker Stones ( ball carrier) Guehi Trippier Rice Mainoo Saka Palmer Foden Kane I think he wants the pace on at the end to catch teams out.
That's not what I'm saying and the two things are totally different ... ... although he won nothing at Spurs either.
I think the lads goosed and nursing an injury. He's had a mammoth season for Real and has played a fair amount of football since he was 16yr old. This is his 3rd tournament for England and he's only 20yr old.
