Yep he's finished at the very top Dortmund should never have gone back, you need to watch him to really understand it cos the reputation is still there, he's still playing at the highest level and pretty much every week of fit but his heads gone, phones it in too often and rarely puts 100% in 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Straggler Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 I don't think there are many players in the English squad that could get into this French 11. The more I think about it the closer I get to the number being 0. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rino8 Posted June 15, 2021 Visiting Supporter Share Posted June 15, 2021 Germany is a team we should be beating if we play, and be relatively confident of Their best players are getting on, a lot of that team played out of position. A decent showing here doesn't paper over how bad they have been for a while now and when we play them, don't show up and lose without a fight it shouldn't be seen as anything other than a failure.

jacketspuds Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 Both teams are so good at pressing. It’s the sort of game I’d expect Southgate to play 5 at the back with 2 defensive midfielders. Then Kane can drop back in to midfield as well for extra protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_Steve Posted June 15, 2021 Share Posted June 15, 2021 The way France can go from 0-100mph on the counter and then at a flick slow it down to their pace is a joy to watch. Just another level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's doing well against a very fast french attack. Are we having a sweepstake as to which minute Low sniffs his balls/picks his nose/teabags two bottles of evian?

Of course he is, it's Tony **** Kroos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
