Would hate him to get injured on international duty or burn out his season as he didn't get a proper break over the summer If he and southgate are telling the truth and he isn't fully fit, then it's probably best for both England and Villa that he has limited minutes. As long as he is doing a good job with it (which he did Vs Germany), no harm done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTed Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Just heard from a friend who works for the FA that the game is going to be postponed tonight. One of the Ukraine players has tested positive! The LB Tickili Chestikov. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 So the big one today- Denmark v Czech Rep. Well at least both of them have actually won this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much do you think he's paid to just go on TV and agree with whatever the other ref said? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I think Sancho is good enough, without a doubt, but him not getting a chance due to being young and lacking experience, then being chucked on in a quarter final? Lunacy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) Very strange if Sancho is suddenly experienced enough to start a quarter final, after being too inexperienced to even get a cameo until very (very) recently. Don’t get me wrong, I like that he’s playing, it’s just strange. And if Grealish isn’t playing more because of fitness management, why did he start a relatively meaningless group match? And why oh why is the abominable Rice and Philips double pivot still a thing? Why? Edited July 3, 2021 by El Zen 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharkyvilla Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 Ukraine went with Zinchenko at left wing back against Sweden, maybe as Sancho is probably the closest we have to a traditional right winger it's designed to force him back to defend more.

PieFacE Posted July 3, 2021 VT Supporter Share Posted July 3, 2021 (edited) I guess the other thing with Sancho is, who knows where his head was at as Man United were trying to sign him. Maybe Southgate didn't think he was in the right frame of mind to play with his future up in the air a bit. Now that it's sorted, he can fully focus on England. Not saying that was the case, but it is a possibility I guess. Edited July 3, 2021 by PieFacE Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we're just trying to put Ukraine off the scent or preferably Southgate should get more credit and he's simply in because it makes technical sense vs their presumed line up.

MachoFantastico Posted July 3, 2021 Share Posted July 3, 2021 I've given up trying to make sense of Southgate's team selections at this point. I'm sure we'll play boring football until Jack comes on and changes the game again. Seems to be his only strategy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only in the second half. He normally plays as a centre mid. Matvienko was LB last game, and he was CB the game before so they just shuffled him inside when Malinovskyi came on.
