edinburghowl Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 On 20/06/2021 at 20:09, edmontonowl said: With Kane on the pitch defenders are worried. Kane didn't do much v. Croatia but he made space for others by occupying defenders. The Scots didn't care and just played their system with 5 across the box and 3 usually 4 in front. Kane went deep and those 8 or 9 just held their ground. Kane can't hurt you from 45 yards out. And it was lack of movement among those defenders killed us. The Czechs wont be as disciplined. Kane may start but if there's no impact he can be replaced by any one of the Sancho, DCL, Rashford in the 2nd half. The pace of those 3 will be problematic for the Czechs. The Czechs will play an even more defensive system than we did. We at least had 2 up top against you. The Czechs played 451 at Hampden and will almost certainly do the same again. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted June 21, 2021 Share Posted June 21, 2021 What a goal! Danes play much better football than England btw. They probably go out tonight, but they play with some purpose and verve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Night King Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Play to win, absolutely ridiculous to aim to finish second, like previously mentioned there’s a very good chance Shaun could play the second side in our group. Germany are nothing to fear in this tournament, the French on the other hand would be a huge challenge, but we shouldn’t fear anyone in this tournament, it’s wide open. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see Henderson getting 45 mins too, somehow. See how the players react knowing they’ve already qualified. Negative Nigel might say attack...... But I doubt it.

CalmJimmers Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 I'd be going:- Pickford Trippier Stones Maguire Shaw Phillips Bellingham Sancho Grealish Rashford Kane Only put Kane in because he said he would start him. We're already qualified so time to give some others a run out after the no show on Friday. Maybe Henderson comes in if he is fit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scram Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 It's beyond ludicrous tbf I suspect it's England's medical team that have told them to isolate as they don't wanna risk a potential spread within the rest of the players But it's totally bizarre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be tempted to stick with Mings as he hasn't done anything wrong (yet!). I would definitely drop Rice , his game simply isn't needed in this team..to be honest I don't see what he offers, I know his role isn't as obvious as the others, but still..I think its time to see if we can survive without the less energetic version of Pelupessey. Bellingham has been excellent every time he has played for England, and if your good enough, your old enough. The only other question mark for me is Rashford...I'm nit convinced at the moment. Sancho definitely needs to start, it's bizarre he hasn't played a minute yet. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sancho definitely needs to start, it's bizarre he hasn't played a minute yet. Yeah fair, Mings has been decent and we haven't conceded yet. Think with Rashford it's more of giving him a chance to show what he can do again. Foden hasn't worked for me, I don't think he's a wide player personally, and Rashford seems more suited to the position and a bit more direct. Sterling is getting it in the neck a bit but his run and finish in the first game is one of the few fleeting moments of quality we have had so far, with many others being from Pickford. However, I'd still give Sancho a go, he's one of our more in-form players. I'd personally want to give DCL a go but GS has said Kane will be starting. Think a few of them need to be dropped to have a wake up call that Friday was not acceptable. Not so much the result but the limp performance.
