It’s looking like Trent won’t start today either. Feel sorry for him and Gomez. Been a waste of a summer for them.
If you’re going 352 then that’s perfect time to play TAA with Walker behind him. But instead gareth will play it safe with trippier effectively having 4 defenders as Saka isn’t a proper wing back
England fans chanting... "you're going home, you're going home, Germany's going home" ...to Germany fans after the lost to Spain, completely ignoring the irony that the tournament is in Germany and they are already "home"
I'm delighted. They cannot be scapegoated except by the type of racist and engurlund filth who look for people who don't look happy enough after scraping by a also ran team. At best trent comes on after trippier's leg finally falls off and scores to win it. At worst he comes on and gets the blame after England have already stunk the place out. Joe gomez is just having a holiday
So the only change looks to be a like-for-like for replacement for the suspended Guehi. Which means Southgate has looked at the first four games and either thought it's worked well, or if it hasn't worked as well as he'd hoped, he doesn't know how to improve it.
He might not trust konsa. He certainly doesn't trust gomez. He might play 3 at the back cos he is forced to pick konsa. But then again both trippier and stones have a leg hanging off so I'd not be shocked to see either limp off after 20mins
Picking Trippier over Trent to play RWB... Southgate should be sacked BEFORE kickoff. ****ing criminal!!!
Is it annoying anyone else that this system keeps being referred to as a back three? Or 3421? It's a back five FFS, or 5221. No way those FBs will be getting forward enough to call it a back three
So much for change of shape. It's still 4231... Pickshit Walker - Stones - Konsa - Trippier Manioo - Rice Saka - Bellingham - Foden Kane
Both teams going 5-4-1 out of possession. We did start with a bit more energy and purpose but it seems to have calmed down now. The space down our flanks is worrying.
Am I watching a different game? All 4 pundits going on about how much better we’ve been, how much we’ve stiffles Swiss, how good foden has been… We've created nothing. Swiss has arguebly best chance. And fodens done **** all? Saka been the only one positive in the game so far
