foreveryoung Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I'm about 95% finished with Safegate, just waiting for him to quit after this tournament, hopefully. If he can't manage to send the team out like he did against Iran tonight and smash Wales, I will hold the extra 5% until Senegal knock us out in the next round. Already heard, it's a 4 at the back with Walker, Henderson and Rashford in for tonight, no doubt a unfit Kane will be a starter as always. Quelle the borefest.

Always looking for an edge no matter what, even retrospectively. Also why he's a massive prick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Against Wales what a absolute knobber Southgate is. Grealish should be in place of Rashford all day long, he knows how to play with Foden, seems a no brainer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expect a much better performance tonight. 3-0 my prediction but Im never right so probably scrape a 1-1 Like USA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted November 29, 2022 Author Share Posted November 29, 2022 Looks like we’re all setup for 90 of dross then. Get the ball to the corner, look up, pass it back to the LB, then the CB, then up the other wing, and back. Rinse and repeat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted November 29, 2022 Moderator Share Posted November 29, 2022 Take Rashford out for Grealish and maybe swap Walker and Trippier and I reckon that's our strongest side. If Phillips is fit maybe play him over Henderson too - but the shape - with two holding - is absolutely necessary to give us the balance that allows our front four to have enough of the ball and do the things they're good at.

rodders0223 Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Best get in 2 sitters and a CM to make up for the fact we have marginally less defensive minded wingers. Guys a **** gutless word removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guys a **** gutless word removed. I don't see the shape as a problem - he's essentially doing what Emery did after Gerrard - sticking someone next to Rice (or our Luiz) and setting the forwards free. Bellingham is a very good midfielder in that free role - I think he can do very well there - he's not a natural six by any means. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The difference is the England squad is much better than Villa, and Wales are worse than most PL teams. England should be taking the game to Wales, but I imagine we’ll stand off and size them up and take no risks.

foreveryoung Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 I see he's put Foden in due to media pressure. Same reason he brought Maddison, same reason he gave Toney a seat to warm in the Nations League. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaVilla Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 (edited) so, if we finish top of the table.... Senegal last 16? probably France or Argentina in the quarters? probably Croatia/Belgium or Portugal in the semis (maybe Germany)?
