Errol Flashman Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 He'll go to a 3. He won't put Mings in there in a 2. Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate does not fill me with confidence one bit. We have some real attacking threat at our disposal at the moment and he's going to try setup defensive, sit back kind of attitude. We might stand more chance of winning our last 16 tie if we do just scrape through our group. If we win our group we play the runner up from this group in the last 16: If we finish 2nd in the group we play the 2nd-placed team from this group: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 25 minutes ago, SiJ said: Agreed. The Coady and Mings thing baffles me a bit tbh. If you lined up with those two as a pair (not in a three) you'd be worried as a mid-table PL side, let alone England in a major tournament. Pretty sure Coady is a one time central midfielder who got converted into the central defender in a back three. He's a nice footballer, with good passing range, but I'd not want him playing in a two. Mings is just rash for me. Don't get why he is so rated in quarters. Ask any Villa fan and they’ll tell you Konsa is the superior defender to Mings. If you’re going to take a Villa defender, I’d take Konsa every time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fancy our chances more against Sweden or Poland on a neutral ground though knowing us we will finish 2nd and Spain will also finish 2nd and knock us out!

We won't beat Portugal or France, no chance, Germany possibly but doubtful. I more even game would be a Poland with Lewandowski ( doubt he would be intimidated by our centre halves) , or a Spain team that seem to be a bit scrappy at the moment. Sweden and Slovakia we should get the better of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does he do card tricks? Does he have a sing song? Does he do quizzes in the evenings?” 2 Just a bloke. Being dragged along in a world that moves too quick for it's own good.

Trouble is, finish third & we get a hard opponent in QF instead. Have to bite the bullet & try & win 7 games regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And i'd certainly rather have JWP in the squad in case of injury, at the very least. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, you're right, thanks. I guess the decision on what happens with the next phase of lockdown will dictate how many are allowed in for the knockout games.

Dronfield Blue Posted June 8, 2021 Share Posted June 8, 2021 Ben White picked over Ward-Prowse. An absolute nonsense decision. Well done Gareth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stupid taking a half fit Henderson. And to be honest I don’t rate Kalvin Phillips at all. Best side from who Southgate has picked: Pickford Walker Maguire Stones Shaw Rice Bellingham Grealish Mount Foden Kane Kalvin Phillips is the model sideways backwards man. GS will love him. I just hope the flair players are allowed to express themselves a bit. Don’t play it back to Pickford from the edge of the opponent’s box ffs.

Yet Phillips is the player that allows the flair players to express themselves whilst he retains possession and wins the ball back when it’s lost by the flair players?
