I don't even know which of your players are supposed to be backs, weakest England backline I can remember The young attacking players can still come good but on paper I'm amazed if this team can even get past the last 16.

Doctor Zaius Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 It doesn't make sense not to top our group like. Okay we'll play Sweden likely in the last 16, but then we'll meet the group F winners in the quarters, at St. Petersburg anyway. I'd rather face second place in group F in the last 16 at Wembley, then potentially Spain, who aren't great, in the quarters. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean we probably won’t because It’s England/ Southgate picking the wrong teams and tactics. But England have one of the top 3 or 4 squads in the competition on paper.

Yorkie Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Yeah that's a strange comment from Kaiz. The full-backs consist of: two Champions League winners, two domestic league champions and a player from the PL team of the year. There's a PL winner coming off a great season at CB and, assuming Maguire features, another very talented defender there. The goalie is hit and miss for his club but has, to his credit, never let England down and has had a good start to the tournament. The talent on the wings go without saying and we've got one of the best centre-forwards on the planet. The only position where we're iffy is admittedly a crucial one (CM) but it's not as if we've got a bunch of mugs to choose from. I think extremely highly of Southgate, for all his flaws, but he really shouldn't have any excuses when it comes to dispatching the likes of Czech Republic now. They're not a poor side by any stretch but, on paper, we've a wealth of brilliant options all over the pitch. The last 16 game will be extremely difficult but, again, we've got the options to compete with anyone. Get through that and it should unlock the greatest opportunity of silverware in God knows how long. There's a lot of pressure on the manager now, it has to be said, and if we're poor tonight and go out without a whimper in the next round - regardless of opponent - it's probably time to look at moving on ahead of the World Cup. Scotland was a stinker so it's vital that he and everyone else learns from it. Still optimistic, like. Really looking forward to tonight. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyway, back on subject, I'm actually quite excited about tonight, think we'll play much better and win 2-0. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 On paper our team is top heavy, I expect fans from other countries look at our defence and midfield and don’t know who some of them are. The same way that people are looking at the Spanish and Dutch teams now and are unimpressed by the names. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

The first choice defence I assume is James (Chelsea, CL winner), Maguire (Man United), Stones (City, league winner, team of the year), Shaw (Man United, team of the year).

NUFCDoog Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Scandalous. We're on dodgy ground here as I think it's becoming apparent that Scotland are very clearly lying about Gilmour not coming into contact with ANY of their squad. There's absolutely no chance Mount and Chilwell were the only two people that got that close to Gilmour for that time. There's pictures ffs of Clarke hugging him and Mcginn and Robertson with him, and that's just what we know of. They were all hugging after the game etc and would have been in the changing room after. It makes no sense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
