The best bit is this formation is not even one we've played in the tournament yet. The other brilliant bit is that Mings, arguably the best English CB so far, isn't starting as one of 3 CB's. Raging. Agree, Mings over Walker if you’re playing 3 CB’s, hell even Ben White over Walker at CB! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tommo_b Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 We get to see Sterling run around not passing again, yay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndyM3000 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 If this was a training game, that bench beats the first team. The first team wouldn't get the ball off them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't forget we get to see him cut inside every time he gets the ball, try to dribble, and fall over. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

switters Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 All along I've assumed you can only really fit 1 or 2 out of Foden, Mount & Grealish and I could understand any choice there, all very good intelligent footballers. In the end we get zero. Who is the creative passer in this team? Maguire? I can just see endless negative passing triangles between Rice, Walker and Stones, Kane getting bored by himself up front and Saka/Sterling running into blind alleys. If he really had to go three at the back, why not at least have Saka as an attacking wing back instead of Shaw or Trippier? Least we have good bench options to step it up in 2nd half. Just seems so extremely negative and giving Germany a psychological advantage from the start. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mantis Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 This has made me really look forward to next season now. How refreshing it'll be to watch a team that actually tries to win games and plays its best players. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
theboyangel Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 It’s not as if we have the personnel to counter attack is it? No one from central midfield will join any attack I’m pissed off with England 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
