What worries me so much about Mainoo and Palmer making an impact on the game is that it means southgate won’t play them again.
Palmer had the chance to win it at the end, he was perfectly set up inside the box for a left footer to curl into the right hand top of the net- but instead we had a weak shot straight at Oblak.

@@catinthehat906 yeah he had a bad shot but he was still the best player on the ball for the rest of the game
Saw it with Watkins vs Denmark. Did great when he came on was the only time we attacked.
And in the ‘free’ game he got 0 minutes

Always love your analysis, James. Also like your half glass full approach to everything, a rare quality when it comes to us English!
Indeed, I like to support England, but I really dislike the fans, especially the arrogance shown over the last few days.
Agreed James' level of delusion is impressive
Idk how english people dont get it. The problem is not trent playing in the midfieled its the 2 forwards who just drop in to the middle. Put gordon or watkins in and trent will give england a way to score goals. They have the best ball passer and dont want to use him lol. They complain about henderson but theyre asking why the players arent playing like henderson. Its so obvious in international football its the most simple obvious way to win with trent and either watkins or gordon doong what they do best
They all follow the advice they heard from the people that came before them saying ‘you can’t drop Harry Kane’ but those people didn’t win anything. Watkins and Gordon would completely change the game for England. Trent RB, Walker LB, Jude off since he looks a shadow of himself. It all seems so obvious.
@@Noname-f5e6s100%. English media is by far the worst in the world and a lot of it has to do with these “experienced” pundits. You have a whole generation of England players who won nothing trying to tell these players how to win something. Blind leading the blind. Back on to trent, i heard keane saying Declan rice was babying trent in midfield. What??? Trent wasn’t a star but he barely put a foot wrong and they want him gone. England fans and the media are by far the most unintelligent creatures. And they act like when mainoo or Gallagher came in they were any better, they offered nothing that trent couldn’t, and that’s without trent having any runners who actually would go behind the defender. One day they will learn
Genuinely what’s the point of playing Trent midfield if you’re not gonna have forwards trying to get in behind. Kane, saka and foden are great but it’s not in their nature to get on the shoulder and in behind
There wasn't enough space behind the Slovenia back line for what you said to be effective, against the teams that will come out and play for a win I'd agree
@@alexmaggs3461 so what if Slovenia played back trent can cross better than anyone else if England has possession and if it doesn't work he can always be subbed off. And by the time they reach top16 most teams will play for possession
The last 20mins needs contexts, Slovenia sat in deeper to protect the point they needed to qualify
Gamestate nuance
I think Slovakia will be similarly tough to break down. They don’t concede a lot of goals and it will be interesting to see how England set up against a team that is well organised and drilled who will probably try to take it to penalties. We’ll have to be careful of not getting caught out on a break, but they won’t commit too many players.
100%. Saka offers a threat in behind that Palmer doesn't quite. Depends on circumstance who works better
they did that all game...?
Historically England don't have enough runners and ball carriers. You think of Beckham, Gerrard, Lamps and Scoles. Amazing players but 0 runners or dribblers. Foden, Rice, Gallagher, Bellingham have a kind of similar feeling despite Foden and Bellingham being amazing dribblers it doesn't feel like they can consistently progress the game into the final third. Owen used to carry the ball solo and was very effective in that regard at international level but a great example of this is Darius Vassell. Direct running and ball carrying made an average prem player look amazing for England.
Good thing that it's a passig game then isn't it. Even messi dominates games by passing more than dribbling. Take ons are good but give me an immaculate fist touch and pass every time in a player.
@@Thomas...191 so England never win, because they can't progress the ball or creat chances with just passing.
@@Easilytriggeredlol that’s not why England never win. Did Germany have that player in 2014? Did Spain have it from 2008-2012? Portugal in 2016? The answer is no
@@Thomas...191 you can't set up your entire team like that though, you might like players like that but unless you're actually Spain and every player is immaculate at passing and your plan is to pass it into the net like that you need players that can run and do the dirty work like dragging markers out of position or simply offering a passing option by moving away from their marker.
@@iainrichards6872 Sami Khedira in 2014, Renato Sanchez or Adrien Silva in 2016, Kante and Matuidi in 2018 and Spain didn't really have one because their plan was to pass the ball into the net but England aren't Spain and the 2nd best team that year was the Netherlands and they had De Jong. I agree that's not why we never win but the teams you mentioned mostly have a player of that type that can eat grass, De Jong's nickname was "The Lawnmower" for crying out loud
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, swap saka and foden and play Gomez at left back, in possession it can look something like this;
Kane
Saka Bellingham Foden Trent
Rice Stones
Gomez Guehi Walker
Pickford
sploosh.
trent rw/rm? are you having a laugh?
Exactly what I have said too mate
I just dont get Southgate. If you aren’t going to play a double pivot why not just play Foden at 10 and Bellingham at 8. Solves a whole bunch of problems in my opinion.
That would be too obvious. Southgate clearly thinks they’d be better out of position. Also, we have to remember Bellingham is still very young and he’s played a lot of games for Real this season in La Liga and UCL. He must be a little fatigued and I think Southgate maybe should have rested him a little more in the group stages. Maybe brought him off earlier or used him as a sub if needed.
"Bellingham our best player so he has to be in the most important position" - Southgate "logic"
Got to see it at least. If it doesn't work fair play but seems the best move to fix all issues
Bellingham who played at 8 at Dortmund and literally played that role effectively for Southgate at the last world cup but he had one good season this year playing further up the field with Ancelotti so apparently he has to play 10
These videos are so cool. Started watching you at the start of the tournament. Really like these vids, keep them up 🎉
could do with turning the gain down slightly on your mic i think Jim - seems to be clipping when you get loud. Not a huge issue though, great vid!
I don't understand why we don't just play:
Pickford
Walker - Stones - Guehi - Tripper/Shaw
Rice - Bellingham
Saka - Foden - Gordon
Kane
Bellingham has played as an 8 effectively at the last world cup and in 3 seasons at Dortmund prior to Madrid. I don't understand this notion that he "has" to play 10 when we have no experienced viable options for the role next to Rice just because he had a good season playing further up the field for Ancelotti. It also means we're playing Foden in his preferred position and not forcing him out wide where it's been clear we need more of a runner to play off Kane.
please don't be overly nice with Southgate, he's maddening with his decisions
Preface this by saying there’s a reason I’m not England manager.
Ik James has said this before, but I’d thought about this for Liverpool before. Since trippier has been shocking, instead of putting Trent at RB and Walker at LB, but Trent at LB and invert and let Walker stay in his position, at least until Shaw gets fully fit.
As well as getting mainoo in for rice. Not to start, but rice is so negative in the buildup (as I’m sure Southgate told him to) but letting mainoo try to break the lines with his dribbling and passing ability. That’s just me idk
I've been looking for someone to suggest this. Not like Southgate would ever actually implement it but it makes a lot of sense. It would definitely improve the midfield balance. I also think that Trent at right back and Joe Gomez at left back would work better than Walker and Trippier.
gomez played lb 19 times for us this season, and he's been v good.
Foden was our best player for most of the match and especially in the first half. He needs to play in the 10 with gordon on the left and let foden find him. Foden is the answer to our problems because he can turn and face the opposition and run at them or create but Bellingham just can’t but rice and Bellingham need to not be scared to play the ball in tight spaces to foden
What are you on about. Foden has offered nothing for England. And from looks of it will never will. He is not a player you play around or built your entire system for him to effect games. Matter of fact, our most dangerous attacks happened when he wasn't on the pitch. All of Englands best moments never involved Foden. He is best utilized as super impact sub. I think people need to stop coping and face the cold fact that he doesn't fit this team.
Why is Foden so undroppable? Jude had a Balon D’Or worthy season as a 10 so Gareth is right to play him there. Gordon LW, Trent RB, Mainoo CM. Give Trent runners and let him dictate from deep. If you’re desperate for Walker play him LB, but let our best playmaker in Trent do his thing. I’d stick with Saka over Palmer too. Saka been our best attacker this tournament (admittedly an underperforming attack) and if he has Mainoo and Trent as a right sided triangle that is brilliant imo.
Because he is the best player along with Kane, Jude has been by far the worst attacker and shouldnt sniff the pitch if it isnt in the 8
No, Gareth does not have the right to play Jude there, especially after it hasn't worked because England is not Real Madrid. Madrid don't need Jude to defend, they don't need him in build up. England do, so they can not act like they have Madrid's personel. Foden isn't undroppable but he's had a player of the season season at 10 so isn't he also warranted to play there given the circumstances?. Jude playing deeper does not mean that he must not attack, he'll play further forward with Foden. I don't see what's wrong with that.
Foden has come back to England to attend the birth of his third child. No wonder he's been playing as if he has things on his mind. It's as if these players have private lives.
acting as if foden hasnt had a ballon dor worthy season in midfield
literally best player in the squad bar none in the 10 thats y, plus, gomez played left back 19 times THIS SEASON and he's been used there from time to time for a decade! How anyone else gets a shout at lb is beyond me! i do agree about gordon, but jude needs to move into the 8, and trent needs to play at rb. u can't rely on mainoo ur gona stunt him for the future and pigeonhole him, its not fair on the lad.
the point about bellingham is so concurrent with zaha at palace. he was often dismissed as stroppy but it was all about standards and expecting more from palace
Another problem is how slow the defence is at moving the ball. By the time they had taken 2-3 touches each and passed side to side 5 times, they’ve give the opposition time to reset and ready to defend against any attack.
The press is still miles off, way too slow.
Gallagher is not international class. Stop defending him.
What has to be considered is that as well as Palmer played in that 20-minute cameo, he was up against a tired Slovenian defence. Would he have the same impact if he were to start?
You didn't watch a single premier league game of his last season, did you? Even in the big games (against City and the likes) he was the main man on the entire pitch every time. The kid's special: wasting him on the bench for system players (Foden, Saka) is just madness.
@user-zc2sz1os3j Where did I suggest that Palmer should be left on the bench for the next game? Of course, I've seen what he can do in the Prem. He's a top talent. But, anyone who knows anything about football will know that a player of Palmer's quality will be an absolute nightmare for a tiring defence. In saying that, I'm not adverse to Palmer starting on Sunday, especially if Saka is not 100% match fit
@@OserojiemenKingyou have no idea what you're saying
Great work James, this whole run through was what I was playing with last night, just without the data that you have, but this analysis has reinforced what both what I want to happen and what Southgate would pick...
It's almost like Southgate doesn't even watch these!
🤣🤣🤣
Southgate sent you to that Sean dyche haircut Jim 😅😂
How are you so fit Jim? Rocking the new trim 🔥🔥
Gordon on the left, Bellingham-Rice-Foden in the midfield
phenomal analysis. i think against the lesser teams trent can do great job at rb. of course against duel warriors you need warrior. the one thing ive not heard is that trent playing in saka is different to trent playing in gordon. we need capitlise trent pinging it to a left runner - trent pinging to saka (the only runner, right foot to right side) means that you dont make the most of him. bellingham needs to be in cdm overlapping kane due to how deep kane is in this system, and trent needs to playing in a runner (NOT FODEN). From there you make a triangle between the rcm position ( trent tucked in) to gordon who would play it to kane, saka, bellingham, foden if hes central. ofc this feels football manager but i do think this unlocks the team. of course, bring grealish or whoever, but where we are now we have our squad and our manager. we played 3 games against a low block, all with very, very low scoring games. we can still go on to win this tourney, but itll be difficult. i just think gordon must play. he is THE southgate winger. either play gallagher/mainoo/bellingham next to rice, or play foden/bellingham central. gordon must play on the wing.
edit: one more thing, but if foden HAS to play left wing, then u play palmer central, bellingham/mainoo cdm, and then have a fluid front 4 of kane dropping, palmer and saka interchanging. saka right side and central. foden and palmer all three.
Not Jude mainoo CM, rice mainoo. Jude will try to dominate ball too much
Trent should replace walker at right if England want to score goals
i'm alright thanks Jim, hope you are too!
Madison 8. work rate meets tempo setter meets roaming playmaker. Progressive passing meets off the ball runs into space. Only thing he hasn't tried only thing that will help on its own.
Love the content James, can I ask what you are analysing the game on? In terms of software etc, thanks!
Mainoo was always the best option for the 3rd midfield spot, has all the attributes to bring balance to the team. He HAS to play for the remainder of our tournament!
But would Palmer provide that level of "spark" for the entire game or is it better to bring him on at the 60 min mark? Start Gordon for Bellingham though. Slovakia will be another low block team, they will want pens, so we absolutely need to have effective penetration down both wings. Edit - or start Gordon for Foden as he may not have trained ahead of the game
I agree with you on gallagher having his uses and i wouldnt be mad at him starting games in the knockouts, particularly if it is netherlands up next. But in a game against serbia where we're going to dominate the ball and try and break down a side in a low block, on what planet is he the guy? Match was tailor made for mainoo
Good video but if youre going to put Bellingham as an 8 and Foden as the 10, you might want to put them on sides they've been most effective this season - foden has to be given as much license to get into that right half space, while Bellingham has been playing best on the left. Foden can play inside of saka no problem - he does so with Bernardo all the time
Imo the team should be:
Pickford
Walker Stones Guehi Gomez
Wharton
Rice
Foden
Saka Gordon
Kane
I don’t mind Palmer instead of Saka, Watkins instead of Kane, or Bellingham instead of Rice (or Foden) but this imo is the structure we need that offers balance and has players that complement each other.
Having said that, Southgate will be playing Foden on the left again, I don’t even know what goes on in his head at this point - this is the worst managerial performance I’ve ever seen on many levels.
And yes Bellingham is dropped here, however he looks knackered, and could still be subbed on in a structure that could actually suit him, and then if he plays well start the game after next.
Also against a worse team I don’t mind Trent even at RB if we dominate the ball, but I just think against better teams with quality wingers Walker has to play.
I thought of an ultra attacking 11 the other night I wondered how it would do, gk pickford rb trent cb stones cb guehi lb saka cdm mainoo/wharton m foden m bellingham rfwd palmer lfwd eze fwd kane, probably would get ripped apart especially with trent at fullback with saka getting high 😢
I’m loving this! Mainoo, Bellingham and foden draw all the players out to the left, palmer free on the right coming in with Trent on the overlap? ITS COMING HOME GUYS CMOOOOOOON
everyone and his dog is commenting and analysing England games. Yet Jimbo is doing something different and showing unique analysis, congrats.
Nothing has changed since the dawn of time. To break down low blocks midfielders including wide players have to be prepared to make runs without the ball, and everyone on the ball it’s one and and two touch, with willingness to play risky forward passes. Mainoo Gordon Bowen excellent runners off the ball, Bellingham also. Foden and Palmer can play forwards one and two touch with risk. These are the players that have to play (start and off the bench) for England to progress.
This baldgates knowledge always spot on👌🏼
The problem for me is the left hand side, with Tripper always cutting back and no one running down the left everything comes inside. I think we need to get Bellingham more involved in the game, he clearly gets frustrated when he doesn’t get the ball, give him a freer role in the middle with Rice. Then put Faden in the 10, Gordon down the left, the solution is so simple to me, I don’t get why Gareth continues without addressing the left hand side.
Surely we understand at this point that Palmer is too good to go “but will he start him? idk.” He’s shown you he’s good enough to start, especially if the guys starting ahead of him aren’t cutting it. Not trying to take away from how good they are, but that’s just how football works (so you would hope). He just set a new benchmark for players in his bracket, in the league we all watch and we’re saying he has to prove it. He has nothing to prove.
do we now think kane should start instead of watkins?
The worst part about this is that he will not change anything going into the knockout stage, the changes should have been made here. Gordon to hold the width, Watkins upfront, or whatever else to help bring the best out of certain players. Instead he’s more likely to drop Saka for Palmer & end up with almost a full XI of players that need the ball to feet to make something happen 😂
Feel like ur videos would be so much better with faster cut editing
If nearly every England fan thinks we should play Gordon on the left and a midfield 3 of Rice, Bellingham and Foden, why do you think Southgate is refusing to even try it?
Because he is less useful than a plank of wood.
@@acidtwin it's so frustrating
@@EPL_Scout It really is - I gave up around 99' with England. The FA have zero balls to bring in the right managers, all of this was predictable.
Because thankfully: arrogant England fans are not picking the team via twitter.
@Thomas...191 what do you mean arrogant?
Foden's gone home so Gordon should start -- Palmer and Saka can do a half each -- Mainoo can join Rice, Bell at 10 -- Kane and Watkins half each
Gomez at left back, or Saka if we going cray cray
What is the name of the website that you use?
Southgate obviously thinks Bellingham is our best player and his best role is as the most advanced midfielder. He also wants Saka in the team, therefore Foden is the one being sacrificed, he has to adapt his game for others. Which is a waste of the best player in the PL last season.
Bellingham playing slightly deeper as a no.8 is more natural and would provide more balance to the team than Foden playing on the left wing.
Foden hasn't adapted at all. He isn't spending any time on the left wing, he's looking for touches in central areas, which is his game.
@@jamespace5429Yeah it's pretty ironic because Foden looked the best when he was staying out wide
@jamespace5429 he did drift central at times in the Denmark game, but not so much yesterday, other than when Bellingham moved out wide for a bit. Check his heat map on sofascore, most of his touches are on the left. If you look at his heat map in the PL last season, he was predominantly right/central. That's where he's most effective
@@EPL_Scout you can't show me a clip of Foden having effective moments on the wing. All the highlights that people point too as POTY are dead centre, edge of the box. He's not beating a man down the outside, or stretching the play by running in behind. Which is fine, that's not his game. But Foden isn't "adapting anything".
@jamespace5429 I agree. What I meant was he is having to try and adapt and find a way to be effective, coming in off the left wing. But it's not really working and I think he's more dangerous when starting centrally or slightly to the right.
Right now he's either starting wide and cutting in, or drifting inside and Bellingham/Trippier keeping the width. But the combination of him, Bellingham and Trippier down that side hasn't really worked because none of them want to get down the sides or in behind. We need Gordon to attack with pace and/or Shaw to overlap and put crosses in.
I think Mainoo can do dirty work and work hard as well. Not to Gallagher’s level, but still to a high level.
absolutely love Bellingham but he isn't known for his creativity hes great at those lampard esque runs but right now hes not done that enough. personally id try like to see him as an 8 next to rice (which i think at madrid will be his position now they have to work around mbappe and kroos retirement or drop him for mainoo to be that 8/6 next to rice. so that we can have a player that can be creative. a foden, palmer or eze . id also tell kane to be a number 9, not a false 9 dropping so deep that hes practically non existent in attack.
not an expert obvs but we need something to change
Drop rice can’t pass a ball, should be Mainoo Bellingham in middle Foden and Palmer swapping between 10 and right wing, Gordon on left ( should be Harvey Barnes) Watkins upfront
Is Bellingham good enough defensively to play as the 8? I think so, he's just as good as Mainoo or Trent and a tenacious presser like Gallagher. So why are we not playing him in that position with Foden at RCM/10? He should still be given the license to drive forward and arrive late in the box, as long as the full-backs don't push right up. Southgate is so frustratingly stubborn. That game was the perfect opportunity to give it a go.
southgate
Don’t think he has the composure or spatial awareness yet to play in the position. Ancelloti thinks exactly the same
@@Ghanaman15 he played there for dortmund alot
@Ghanaman15 does Gallagher? I don't think so. How about Trent? He's not experienced playing midfield, positionally both in and out of possession, receiving with his back to play etc. Bellingham is no worse than those two. Mainoo is probably more comfortable playing a bit deeper, although I think Bellingham is more aggressive and physical than Mainoo
Remember when people were calling palmer a pen merchant 6 months ago 😂
Think about it for 1 second. Southgate is a genius he’s going to 0-0 us to the final winning the next 4 games on penalties in Germany! He’s got 7 world class penalty takers. Apart from Toney they have all had game time. Knight him know. He’s a genius.
It is not always about the tactics. If you do not have fun at work you are not very motivated for working. And oh boy, I am not sure if anybody had fun during the matches ._.
Like watching Manchester United. Same struggles. Maybe like united England will do better against the better teams as theyll play on the front foot allowing England to counter attack. Don't think we're technically good enough to attack whilst playing keep ball cos we can't break down a low block.
Jim whats with the transplant trim buddy?
Yes mate
Trippier has been our worst defender,over lapping full back and also booked. There you go ,he's the problem
I would have to say that the Jude Bellingham situation is unusual. Not the frustration part because we have seen that plenty, but for the first time it almost feels like he is not playing as free. He himself looks nervous under an England shirt and that is something that I would never have said before. On top of this, I think that he does believe he has this sort of superiority over others which leaves his performance lacking. I feel more impressed everytime Foden steps inside over Jude. There’s energy around Foden and I don’t feel that with Bellingham. Would like to see more from him but for what he has accomplished already at 20, you can’t be too critical.
The media has gotten to his head. And it’s fed his main character syndrome. And the coach keeps enabling his worst tendencies.
He should be benched
I think Bellingham is just fatigued after having a really long season with Real. He played in virtually every game and its not really surprising he’s looking a little jaded for England. We have to remember he’s still very young and could be suffering from burnout.
It’s a trick question!!
Southgate shouldn’t be anywhere NEAR the national side.
Well, not if you want it to do well.
Pickford
Walker Stones Guehi Shaw
Wharton Mainoo
Palmer Foden Gordon
Kane
Southgate is in a situation where he has to creative , dynamic and inventive to make this all work…….and the problem is that he just doesn’t have it in him.
Probably try Pickford at centre forward they seem to pass to him more than anyone else.
Foden also displayed frustration with Kieran Trippier due to his limitations during the game so please don't single out just Bellingham. Thanks.
He literally said that in the video.
11:08 sums up why harry Kane should be dropped, sat in our own half with the defenders with 7 players in front of him. Stick Watkins on to run in behind any day of the week
Is it not logical in tournaments like this to start your most form players? You don’t get another chance, like from now on you lose and it’s over.
Think mainoo showed enough in that second half to start next game, he is what that midfield misses
There's lots to be positive about in the future, all this team needs a good manager. A good manager will fix the press and build up. Forget this tournament it was over the second they didn't Southagte years ago. Next world cup is interesting. Hope Netherlands win 4-0 to ensure this clown is sacked.
Rico Lewis would have done better than all these guys next to Rice. Possession, energy, dogged defending, threat going towards. Next time I guess
Mainoo is poor at running back,even Roy Keane pointed this out in previous Utd and England games. He's still young and probably hasn't built up those stamina lungs
We got buzz cut GTA6 before England winning anything 😂
Conor Gallagher is the Frank Lampard of Scot Mctominay’s
Kyle Walker was so so bad. Right now the “senior” players are stinking the place out. Apart from Stones. My theory is they’re totally complacent that Southgate won’t drop them, because “experience”. And so are not motivated in the same way as players fighting for their place in the team (like the young ones).
People way over the top with Palmer, dropping Saka for him is wild.
This guy man
I am sorry but I have to slightly disagree with what is being said about Bellingham at 34:40. I dont disagree that he is intelligent and can see space and know where to be and when to be there. That we have seen for Madrid all season. You can and should also applaud the work rate and effort he is putting into pressuring the opponent, but all the clips you highlighted of his frustration etc screams of someone who is not intelligent. He is doing all that work and and no one else following it up. It is understadnable he is frustrated with that, especially if this is something they have planned and talked about before the match. "Jude sets the tempo on defense, he pushes up and everyone needs to up their intensity otherwise it is all in vain". I would be furious, but he also has to look at what his team mates are doing. All that effort showcased in those clips showed he put a lot of work in for exactly no reason.
It doesn’t matter how hard Bellingham is pressing because you have to do it with the team and he doesn’t. He’s always running on his own like a headless chicken so ofc you’re going to be tired and annoyed
I’d only want Bellingham benched for him taking that break, he can also be a weapon as a sub
This tournament is so nervy and apathetic I can't take it. Not just for England, also France, Belgium, Germany and Portugal etc.
There's Greece vibes here.
How can you say Saka did nothing wrong? He took no risks. He stood no players up, he took no players on. That has to be wrong, even though he hasn’t made any flagrant mistakes
'He said basic, I'd say simple'. 🤔 So, are they simply basic or basically simple.🤔
Sorry Jim, I really disagree with your views on this one. Both Gallagher and Trent had terrible games when they started. We can‘t be looking for the positives in their subpar performances when there is a glaring example of a midfielder doing the right things in Mainoo
Gallagher was basically playing as a 10 we should have swapped him out with Foden and put Gordon on the left wing
Have you shown this to Southgate? He might want to know
Tactics, haven't seen any yet.
England are lacking just about any movement off the ball....so no space is being created to run into or behind...
Forget the PR. Bellingham off, Palmer in the 10. Foden off, Gordon on the wing
Judging by the hair cut it looks like James hyped himself up to the tournament by watching and being inspired by the classic "This is England" movie. Boots and a checkered shirt is all thats missing for the complete look.
Should we say South gate needs redemption before the world cup start?😮
Better than the game
mans turned into Erik Dier
When are we going to talk about going 5 at the back with Saka/Gordon + Bowen as wing backs?
Buzz suits ya
i love how everyone is suggesting we pick the exact same lineup that got beat 1 nil by iceland.
Are you sure? Did Walker,Stones,Guehi,Rice,Foden,Kane, Bellingham start against Iceland?
@@adepahlovequansah1702 Bellingham didn't.
But the rest yes.
The team v Iceland was
Ramsdale
Walker, stones, guehi, trippier
Mainoo, rice
Palmer, foden, Gordon
Kane
Which is what alot of people have genuinely been suggesting we play, as if that team didn't already prove against Iceland that Southgates tactics suck.
Southgate is lacking tactically. He doesn't understand the profiles at his disposal that's why everyone looks so disjointed.
Replace Foden with Gordon, do not drop Jude
