Two huge defensive **** ups which lead to Ukraine having their only real threats in the whole game (if it was Mings, people would be battering him for them). Also didn’t seem to offer much going forward. Does feel the right hand side of Walker/Stones will let in a goal before too long, got away with it when Werner missed 1st half the other day. Denmark could really test them given how well Mahele is playing as LWB and while someone like Poulsen isn't the greatest finisher he makes clever runs so I expect they'll centre all their play on trying to get round that side while other wing back will sit and try to stop Shaw's runs.

That is prob half true, but given the result tonight he appears to know what he's doing. And you have no idea how much that hurts to say.

A team that presses and can cross will cause a lot of problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Confident we will win this now. There is too much strength on the bench, 5 subs will prove massive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I think England’s second 11 would give it a good go as well. Make an 11 from all the players that didn’t start today and that is still a top side.

Sancho only got his first start tonight so technically he could be included in this team aswell and then have likes of Maddison and Alex-Arnold who missed tournament through injury or too many options.

You can view the opposition as poor but you can only beat you in front of you. No goals conceded in 5 games and have scored 6 goals in the last 2 knock out games. These points are obviously right, and I would actually go a bit further and say it's getting a bit embarrassing watching this forum blow up in fury every time we announce a team sheet, only to go on and win. I mean, I'm not saying we're going to go on and win the whole thing - though there's a decent chance - but at a minimum, I don't think any Danes or Ukrainians (or anyone else for that matter outside England) is sat around watching us not concede a goal, beat Germany, bulldoze our way through a quarter final, and thinking to themselves 'that big nosed idiot can't pick a decent starting XI'. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheStagMan Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Could we win this thing and could we win it without conceding a single goal? It is looking more likely now. Edited July 3, 2021 by TheStagMan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, my only interest in these games is watching Jack play. England as a team without my favourite player don't really interest me and you can only wonder at a seeding "system" that has Switzerland, Spain, Belgium and Italy in one half of the draw and England, Ukraine, Czech Republic and Denmark in the other (not to mention Portugal lost somewhere along the way). If Jack doesn't start in the semifinals, which I fully expect he won't, I doubt I will bother to watch. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
