***England V Czech Rep 22/06/2021***

[El Magnifico]

Southgate's selections are simply incoherent.

If you are going to play philips and Rice together, then you need attacking fullbacks that can deliver quality ball into the box.

Similarly you need to have creative AMs to create chances for Kane. Playing Sterling and Foden is too much scoring without creativity. Grealish should have been playing intead of one of them. Not sure Saka is the right fix but combining him with Sancho on the other flank would have been better imo

Southgate is a boring clueless fuck. Do NOT bring him to Spurs

 

[Furball man]

I am not a English fan so maybe one of you can explain how Saka is selected ahead of Sancho?

Or Sterling ahead of Sancho?

Or why Southgate seems to hate Sancho?

Here you go

We need a performance and some consistency and a bit of momentum. These players already look like they've only just met and Southgate wasted the warm up games.

It's a week till the next game if we win so Southgate should just be going for the jugular.

Don’t disagree

England 3-1 @ 11/1

That's a good punt.

Saka and Sterling aren’t bad players.... agree that Sancho should start this game (I would have started him in the first game) but it’s not like he’s picked Dier and ‘ Hendo’ ahead of him. They are all exciting, dangerous players

 

[Notabadsquad]

Hooray!! No Mason Mount (or Chillwell). England can play now!!! Up yours Steve Holland!

Mount has been more than fine in my opinion.

 

[sudoku]

I like this side.
At last JackandHarry.
I personally would have picked others than Saka and Shaw but yeah, I like.

They aren;t bad players overall but they aren't good players for international football.

I would say Sancho is much better options than either. There is no justifiable reason to have either over Sancho.

Edit:

Missed Grealish was starting.

I would say Sancho, for sure, and probably Grealish as well are much better options than either. There is no justifiable reason to have either over Sancho.

Sancho hasn't been in the greatest of form, but then neither has Sterling.

 

[sudoku]

Blessing in disguise that Mount unavailable. Not been impressed by him so far.

 

[Gmspurs]

Come on Harry!!!!! Shut the muppet pundits up!!

 

[Jenny Talia]

Never heard the Czech anthem before ... not one of the livelier numbers.

I was fine with Sterling starting the tournament but at this point it is clear he has been poor. Sancho should be starting over him for this game and if he is poor as well fair enough.

Saka just shouldn't start over Sancho for any reason.

 

[Furball man]

Come on Harry!!!!! Shut the muppet pundits up!!

“ Kane shows his class & scores a hat trick & that is why he must move on to Man City”

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]

Hope Harry scores a couple

I'm more confused by Foden's omission tbh.

 

[Gmspurs]

Hope Harry scores a couple

I want him to score a perfect hat trick and then him to moon the press box

 

[Igula]

I'm more confused by Foden's omission tbh.

I think someone said it was because he is on a yellow card.

Or
*Harry has another poor game which shows he’s stagnating and needs a refresh, with a move to Man City*
