Get him to stay high and press relentlessly for first hour, give Van Dijk a hard time as he has before. Yilmaz gave the Dutch a torrid time, got Ake and Van Dijk booked. Hes a bit of headless energiser bunny but Watkins can do the exact same to them. The dutch defence will absolutely love Harry Kane dropping off them and not pushing them back. We have different dimensions in our 3 strikers and 2 of them do a much better job at what we need our striker to do in this formation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never gonna happen in 1,000 years, but we need aggression up front against Paises Bajos. How much did you have to drink yesterday mate? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

479Villan Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 3 hours ago, neilski said: Thats the team i would switch to by about 65/70 mins if its not going our way , the formation is correct although i think i would start with watkins and kane, watkins should probably be deeper behind kane more like link man , start with rice in the centre and bellingham in fodens position on the left of centre. We better be up by 3 with 20 minutes left with this team, because the Dutch are going to score a lot against this. Not even a speed bump on the way to goal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're the only person on the planet I want to manage England less than Gareth Southgate. Would replacing Foden with Mainoo make it more of a Gruyere?

None of us will ever be England manager right now, but it sure would be a relief to get Southgate to make a few changes. So it's chance to think aloud and imagine the limits of our talents and vent etc. and see how what I think my lineup misses Mainoo and Rice especially -- obviously -- but it's too late, I've spent my Football Manager credits for today.

Pongo Waring Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 This been one hell of a boring tournament and cant wait until its over. Spain deserve to win it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikeyp102 Posted July 7 Share Posted July 7 Spain should win, but I wouldn’t be surprised to see France completely nullify them and go through. Southgate will fluke us through. Final will be an awful game with France beating us 1-0 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted July 7 VT Supporter Share Posted July 7 I’d start Shaw and Palmer in place of Trippier and Foden. Other than that I’d go with the lineup and formation from yesterday. Kane off at half time if he’s as shit as he has been up to now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villan95 Posted July 8 Share Posted July 8 I would go same team again but earlier subs. Shaw, Palmer, Watkins/Toney on at HT/60 mins if it's looking stale. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Similar to a certain John Barnes who got capped 79 times for England on the strength of one good goal against Brazil if I recall. Played well for liverpool, useless for England...
