Jonesy7211 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 The worst thing is, there's 5 or 6 world class, or potentially world class, attacking players that we can build a side around for the next two tournaments. Kane, Jack, Foden, Mount, Bellingham, Saka, Sancho etc. He's playing two of them, and one is dropping so deep he'll be closer to Pickford than Neuer. I don't hate Southgate because of his history with Villa, but I do despise him for wasting these generational talents. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chindie Posted June 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2021 This is a side that is wholly unsuited to getting back into the game if it concedes first. Which is going to make this a car crash. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ingram85 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) That team selection lol. What a coward. C’mon Germany! I want 0-7 at least. **** boring Southgate and **** his boring team, boring tactics and boring everything.

PaulC Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 All that attacking talent at his disposal and hes with 8 defensive players including the goalkeeper. It all goes to pieces if we go a goal behind. I love my country but its hard to get behind an England team under Southagte. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which is going to make this a car crash. I actually think an early German goal might force Southgate's hand for precisely that reason. It's clear his plan A is not to concede. If we can put that out the window early then he may have to let off the handbrake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Henderson and Mount will come on. Jack may get injury time and then Southgate will say he didn’t do enough. We all love Jack and are all gutted he’s not playing but I’d at least have some understanding (although not agreement) if Foden or Mount started. But to not start either is a joke.

It’s not anti-Jack thing anymore, it’s an anti-attacking thing. Southgate is a massive coward who is terrified. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheAuthority Posted June 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) We all half expected it but 7 defensive players and Saka not even as a wing back. This is a complete waste of a generation of talent. I've said it before - imagine what Dean Smith and his coaching staff would do with this squad. It would be uber football on steroids. F*** Tw8gate. F*** England. Come on Germany - embarrass the heck out of that line up. Edited June 29, 2021 by TheAuthority Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
est1874 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 If there is any kind of justice in the universe, Germany will roll over this England team. And I will cheer. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Looking at the BBC build up, ya know what - Southgate's penalty wasn't terrible. Had pace, not too central, was heading bottom corner. You see horrible penalties where goalie has to do bear minimum but that was a decent strike. Great save. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel a bit like that. Because there’s a small chance it might mark the end of this pathetic reign by Gareth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaAlex Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Mings should be starting over Walker. Bellingham should be starting over Phillips/Rice. Jack should be starting over Saka although Saka starting is probably the least criminal. I'd sooner have James over Tripper as well. Also prefer Chilwell to Shaw although he wouldn't have been fit. Mount obviously not starting due to fitness which is a shame but he'd have probably taken Saka's place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnnyp Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 (edited) I fear for England if they go behind. They have the bench yes but it's been used when they are out in front or all square. Germany have shown against a top opponent in Portugal, they don't panic if they go behind. Edited June 29, 2021 by Johnnyp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
