Delving into the mind of Gareth....I'd say he'll think we've been poor at set pieces, so bring in Dunk as he's a big unit who can muscle his way in to the box, give it some bosh.
Only problem of course is abject lack of pace and general averageness. Cool cool
Any sense he'll put Walker or Konsa or Gomez in and put Trent at right back

The jocks drew with Switzerland I'm sure we will be fine
Can't explain it. I think we'll beat them 2-0 or 3-1.
I cannot evidence or justify this confidence, it's just how it is.
Mason?
Southgate luck tax
Can you imagine what Spain would do to England......would be about 20-0
If England do, you can bet your arse Switzerland will suddenly be shit, or always over-rated, to a few on here...
They are playing well, and we haven't so far. But we have played far better Spanish teams over the years and never got destroyed.
We'll see how good they are when they play a legitimately good team for the first time this tournament later this week.
I can't get my head around how he's watching us build up from the back and he's using those full backs, an absolute tactical black hole, no wonder England can't build around the sides, Walker doesn't have the technique or patience to play out from the back and Trippier just kills every attack because he's so one footed - ball ends up going to the middle and them back to the keeper who then hoofs it and we give the ball away.
Switzerland have played better than England so far. Beating them would be a good achievement and if you do then I will be consistent with that.
Does show how far you’ve fallen from being tournament favourites to “beating Switzerland would be a good achievement”.
Let us (i.e You) not go down the apologist/"the critics are all just haters"/"woe is England" path all over again.
People's criticisms have all being vindicated.
If we beat Switzerland without a fundamental rethink and major changes then it will just be another case of blind luck.
You're the one that has said that, not me. I think we will beat Switzerland because we have better individual players, have a good record against them, and beat them a couple of years ago when they played largely the same team that will start on Saturday. Obviously if we keep on playing like shit and doing the same things over and over then eventually a good side will put us out, that could be Switzerland.
It will likely be a close game but I think our much superior subs will be the difference in the end.
Switzerland are probably one of the worst teams for England to play - a very well drilled back 5 and dangerous on the counter
Xhaka has continued his phenomenal season with Leverkusan into the euros. Been much better than Rice so far.
My Serbian friend is thoroughly behind England for Saturday because he doesn't want 'Albania' to do well.
Not sure if he speaks for the entire nation, but on this forum that's generally how it seems to work.

Fuck me your sneering is so boring. France have scored one open play goal all tournament and the other team scored it for you. You finished behind Austria. And you were most neutrals tournament favourites.
Can you at least wait to see if you don’t look shit (again) vs a Belgian side who lost to Slovakia before coming in the England thread to crow about how bad we’ve been? We know. We have eyes.
You know it’s possible for both France and England to have been poor.
Can we not comment on how shit Chelsea are because Tottenham have played badly? Come on.
