Quarter Finals: England (5p)1-1(3) Switzerland, Netherlands 2-1 Turkey


Recommended Posts

Not trying to defend Southgate here but the reaction to his decisions at times is way over the top. Fans across clubs going on like it’s a war crime playing Trippier at rwb instead of Trent while managing to completely ignore Trippier’s numbers over the last couple of seasons. 
 

Foden is a lucky boy but that lineup looks far better suited for the players than whatever the tactic was supposed to be in the first few games.

Hoping to have my enthusiasm boosted today.

 

I've enjoyed being back into England since Southgate got the job but it's waned badly this tournament. It's not just because of how hideously we've played, but through general football fatigue and the Newcastle distractions over the last week or so. 

 

There's an incredible chance for us here but we'll have to step up, because we're playing a good side that has every chance of doing something special themselves. 

 

Craving a good game and an inspirational performance.

So is it a 5/3 at the back then? Hope so, we looked good the few moments we've played that in this tournament 


Aye, despite Southgate trying to be coy about the shape Foden had confirmed it in the interview beforehand.

Everyone will be back on board the England train if we win this one 

 

Absolutely. If there's the win and the performance, then it will be tough to keep a lid on it.

 

Slightly worried with it being the exact same personnel though. Will that not just hinder the chance of real change in the playing style...
