Lichfield Dean Posted July 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2021 If true, then it's as I suspected. Try and contain/tire out Italy for 70 minutes then hope to nick a goal at the end. It'd better work because it could be tedious viewing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Playing defensive, cos we’re so good at penalties. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really hoping for the best but I do not understand how Sancho or Grealish are not in instead of Mount in that formation. If Italy score one or two fairly early he will have to change shape and bring 2-3 players on straight away.

Genie Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 We have an embarrassment of riches in attack, and he parks them all on the bench and plays a defensive reactive game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davkaus Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Did people expect something different? It's not like he was going to send out an aggressive team in the final. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No I didn’t to be fair. It’s worked so far so just got to get behind the boys now!! Time for my first beer of the day! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daweii Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Defensive worked against Germany, but lets be fair we could have likely played our usual formation against that Germany side as in hindsight they were toothless. Does a similar defensive line up work against Italy? I don't think it does, but I'm curious to find out. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Silvers Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 10 minutes ago, Genie said: To think we have Grealish, Sancho, Foden, Rashford and they all start on the bench. Rashford will get minutes, Hendo too, the Manager is loyal to the core of the team he has used over the last couple of years. Contain and hopefully knick a goal, if 0-0 after 60mins we will see fresh attacking legs and probably a change of formation that might do the trick.

HongKongVillan Posted July 11, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 11, 2021 So important choice tonight, is it the beeps or ITV? I can't stand anyone from the Beebs commentating but other than Roy Keane I couldn't stand anyone else from ITV either. But for England's sake, I guess BBC is the lucky choice? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest av1 Posted July 11, 2021 Share Posted July 11, 2021 Of that’s right Jack won’t get a sniff. He’ll go with pace off the bench after stinking the place out for 60mins Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm currently watching Wimbledon on the BBC with 5 Live commentary on iPlayer, and I like it. Apparently it will be possible to do the same for the footie. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
