Yep that is the change I would have made too. Still, we have him on the bench to bring on. Albeit at 92 mins
Yeah I don't get that. Only potential thing I can think of is he'll be better to cover Mainoo when he's getting forward.
I'm happy that Southgate has changed shape. Fundamentally, it was the main reason why we have been struggling. The balance simply wasn't right. With Trippier on the right and Saka on the left as wing backs it should be a lot more balanced. Hopefully Foden has a free role behind Kane.
I like the formation more and hopefully it will allow our attacking players to flourish. Come on England.
Remember that England hasn’t won anything under a Tory government . The 1966 World Cup was a few months after a landslide Labour win. Omen?
So Saka is RWB and Trippier LWB. Why? It was a catastrophic decision to not take a single fit left back and to have the only cover being someone who clearly isn’t confident there. Surely KWP is a better LB than trippier and not too dissimilar at Right back (if the spot had to go to a right back - which it didn’t )
The positioning, and interaction, of Walker and Saka has been more like a RB-RW rather than a RCB-RWB. I'm not convinced that Southgate has really changed much, aside from moving Foden centrally.
England better but look like if they’d played this system earlier they’d be better at it Swiss look like they all know how their system works as they’ve done it all tournament Maybe we’ll get slicker as the game progresses
