hoaxn Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Wow, what an awful lineup. It's just, "Sit back, don't you dare concede, and let's hope Sterling can produce some magic to take us through." We're either gonna get mauled in the 90, or we snoozefest our way to penalties and lose it there instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2021 How has social media reacted to this team? I expect the meeja will be fully on board with it, someone has to show some sanity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BOF Posted June 29, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted June 29, 2021 People saying Southgate is some kind of dumbo and yet here I am seeing the genius of the man who has not only managed to put 5 defenders and 2 defensive midfielders on the pitch but has also managed to put a part-time defender up as part of his front 3. **** genius I tell you.

Popular Post jacketspuds Posted June 29, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 29, 2021 Saka needs one game to be the new golden boy. Granted he was good, but no matter what Grealish does he is a last resort for Southgate. I've never despised a former player as much as I despise this rocket polisher. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 so playing defensively, with Saka & Sterling doing their Forrest Gump impression after long balls on the break (note: i think Saka is a great player btw, i also think Sterling isnt). So no Grealish or Foden, Southgate is a clown. I think there is a chance we play turgid football again and Southgate s*its a win, then everyone goes on about how amazing and revolutionary he is......sickening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ThunderPower_14 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Need a Germany goal early to make this worth watching at all. This is worse than our most turgid, defensive shit under Bruce. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick76 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 I was excited going into this tournament because of the attacking talent we have but no point if SG doesn’t play them…what a disgrace! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sidcow Posted June 29, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted June 29, 2021 The annoying thing is that the chance of Jack playing is reduced. Obviously Mount will be first on, then Rashford and Foden. He can't just bring Jack on for a misfiring forward as he needs to bring the forwards on first. The best chance ever of winning this competition with the most exciting attacking line up we've arguably ever had and we're just going to crash out with a negative defensive performance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 There’s no excuse to have the attacking talent England has and not pick them. It’s criminal. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Grealish, Foden and Sancho can't get into this side. Staggering. The man is either a genius or an absolute Bellend of a manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 At least I can torture myself for the next hour listening to the BBC pundits celebrating this formation. 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.

NeilS Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 When I firt cast my eyes down the team I thought it was a joke line up as I didn't see Kane listed, then I saw him half way down the list and reality sunk in that this was the team . All I can say is I am glad that I am at work until half past five and the match will be 60 mins in by the time I get home. What a total and utter Southgate he is!
