I think you hit on it there. What with club seasons getting bigger and bigger, champions league, various national cups across Europe, international friendlies etc some players are involved in up to 60 games, and then have to play up to another 7 games in a month. Everyone is probably just broken. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

England wont beat spain in fact i think they would embarrass us in the final were we to get there. I think its 50/50 who wins france spain game. France are grinding results without playing well. As for England they probably wont but this be best chance they will have to get to a euros on foreign soil I don’t think it’s 50/50 at all. France have looked **** dreadful this tournament. Like England they’ve just scraped through because they’ve got a few quality players. Id give them a 20% chance vs Spain. Spain will be in the final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have been stinking out sewers its been that bad. But not always the best team wins it as we saw with italy at Wembley If this donut southgate can actually get the team playing then we have a chance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 By no means are we saying we could beat that Spain team. But they’ll be no teams embarrassing us, as we generally set up to defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even our successful defenders at club level (Stones and Walker) have looked very shaky). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Well we will hsve a back three with trippier and saka as wing backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 So I think the team will be Pickford Walker. Stones. Konsa Trippier. Mainoo. Rice. Saka Foden. Bellingham Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sne Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 Repeat what I said at the start of the tournament. Deschamps is to France what Southgate is to England. Even with him winning the WC. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That to me makes no sense, he could play Konsa RB and trippier LB Completely changing your shape mid tournament because either your system doesn't work or 1 player is suspended is pretty poor If Guehi and Trippier are out then it starts to make more sense Saka on the left, TAA on the right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NoelVilla Posted July 6 Share Posted July 6 You haven't planned the squad properly if you need to change formation this late in the tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gone are the days footballers grafted for there country at 110%, with mega skillz. Most just look like they want it all over and done with already. An if they win the trophy great, if not, back to there day jobs. I dont believe we will never see a real exciting tournament anymore. The great games of the 90s have passed. It's all about safely making your way through to that defensively set up final. This is probably the worst Euros I can remember, the change to 24 teams really killed it. I dread to think what the 48 team World Cup in 26 will be like. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So he's changing it to give the team more width and agree thst it shouid. TAA on the right but Southgate being cautious as usual. Trippier and Foden on the left can never happen again imo.
