so, who ya got?
I have absolutely zero problem with Kane dropping deep at all, he's one of the best passers on the team and has been amazing at it for a decade, suddenly it's not ok for England? lmao. Full fat bloke in a pub that.
The issue is that the system appears to not allow runners into space (or they just opt not to), but more than he can't even ****ing trap the ball currently and is clearly hurt.
You’re not getting that an ageing and possibly injury carrying Kane can’t get into the area and on to the end of Sakas crosses, whose frustration at a lack of target was visible.
They have an absolutely elite level winger and a lumbering CF incapable of getting there. Luckily for them the elite winger said **** this **** and decided to do it himself.
i think the real issue with southgate is he has by far the best bench of any national team coach
No, that’s also horribly wrong.
No of course we’re not mortal enemies for life, don’t be silly. But your red hot soccer ball takes are astonishingly bad bruv. You don’t have to claim expertise to enjoy watching a sport. Just relax. You’re coming over like a USASoccerGuy account. Sorry.
While I don't think he will do it, I'd really like to see Kane dropped for next game. I also think Palmer deserves a start ahead of one of Bellingham/Foden.....
Something like:
Toney
Bellingham Palmer
Shaw Rice Mainoo Saka
Guehi Stones Walker
Pickford
I didn’t watch much ManU. Is Shaw capable of getting up and down in a LWB role? Trippier is awful on the left.
It doesn't matter. Southgate will want someone extra defensive to play against the mighty Dumfries, entirely renowned for running the length of the pitch to cause mayhem, who will patiently wait on the right wing to display he cannot handle the ball for lack of unboxed shoes, as per Koeman's instructions.
had a look at Brazil's side who lost to Uruguay and it's not pretty.
When I grew up there was Rivaldo Kaka & Ronaldinho in competition for the #10 spot and these days the starting role is held by a gambler from west ham

Dumfries was awful yesterday on the right wing, as was Bergwijn. Not sure why Malen wasnt playing after his brace vs Romania
Well, we were already qualified before the last game, so we couldn't be bothered to get a result vs Austria
well in theory a #1 or #2 spot in the poule will give you a weaker opponent in the playoffs, but because Koeman has a golden dick the games that were played after Holland - Austria all fell into our favor (and Belgium wasnt arsed to do anything to avoid drawing France) so we got the 1outer draw to the semis.
Now its a battle of who wants the ball the least vs England

Like Memphis & Simons know something about Koeman so they cant be subbed, Koeman must know something about Malen... Its insane to put Bergwijn on as a right attacker (while playing the entire season as LA... terribly) while we actually have someone with depth in Malen
markt thinks holland is slightly tougher than switzerland, which must be based the tremendous talent of dutch players who retired twenty or more years ago
We have reached the Semi-Finals!
Spain vs France
and
Netherlands vs England
