God I hope that starting eleven isn't right. How depressing.
Shouldn’t be but this is Southgate we’re talking about.England is not Stoke City, though. There shouldn't be a spot in the first 11 exclusively for set pieces.
Sky are reporting Foden is starting with Rashford on the benchHe’s going to start an out of form Rashford & Sterling and bench an in form Foden & Grealish. Same old story, reputation over form.
Pickford
Walker Stones Mings
Trippier Rice Chilwell
Mount
Sterling Kane Rashford
Probably. Plus Shaw and Mount have been taking free kicks and corners all season anyway.If that was the case, England would have been better off with Shaw at LB and JWP in midfield, than Trippier at LB.
Picking out of form players will cost him the tournament Sterling has been shocking this season and rightfully dropped by Pep.He left Grealish out, because he prefers Sterling/Rashford IMO, always did. I would be shocked to see Grealish starting more than one game.
Lets be honest, Shaw has progressed amazingly well this season but his set-plays are still substandard at best. It's why I felt Chilwell would get the nod over him.Probably. Plus Shaw and Mount have been taking free kicks and corners all season anyway.
There’s no chance if Mings is still playing in the knockout stages anyway.
How does Trippier start ahead of Shaw and Chillwell? That makes no sense.Absolute shocking from Southgate, no Shaw/Chilwell and Grealish.
You think so? Especially his corners were very good. Would have assisted a metric feckton if Maguire knew how to head a ball goalwards.Lets be honest, Shaw has progressed amazingly well this season but his set-plays are still substandard at best. It's why I felt Chilwell would get the nod over him.
Looks like neither have though.
Ask Southgate.How does Trippier start ahead of Shaw and Chillwell? That makes no sense.
He is picking his favourite performers over form or position. He just shoehorned him into the side really. That is a big feck you to Chilwell and Shaw. Same for Grealish/Sancho by picking SterlingHow does Trippier start ahead of Shaw and Chillwell? That makes no sense.
Yeah, I don't really rate his set plays. Surprised he's been on them all campaign but then who else do we have ? Shaw the best of a very underwhelming bunch.You think so? Especially his corners were very good. Would have assisted a metric feckton if Maguire knew how to head a ball goalwards.
That's why I think this Sky are misinformed on this one.Trippier was one people thought might not even make the squad, nope, he starts instead, and arguably not even in his best position? Oh Gareth. I hope he's a secret genius, I really do.
People were arguing about starting both with Shaw LCB, now this@TrustInJanuzaj so much for our chillwell and Shaw discussion the other day
Sackable offence if tripper starts lb
It's a disgrace if true.People were arguing about starting both with Shaw LCB, now this
is it ?Is this some 5D Chess from Gareth? Does he think we're better off finishing 2nd in the group.
It was the same in that tournament too. We could potentially avoid a much harder first knockout game by finishing second this time as well. But we've got to bloody play someone good and beat them eventually if we want to win anything, we just never do.is it ?
Maybe I'm getting Deja vu but wasn't this said about the last major tournament England were involved in too.
We got to the WC semi mainly by standing in single file at corner kicks.England is not Stoke City, though. There shouldn't be a spot in the first 11 exclusively for set pieces.
we have some great forward players. In-line Grealish - but yes, he may need to sit out from the start today. That’s not unexpected.Southgate is a useless clown. News at 11.
Like I said, England will get beat today and then he'll change it for the next game. Only Country in the world that would leave Grealish out.
or how about we hope he walks away from the job having won the Euros. Surely that’s a better thing to hope for?Let's hope he gets the sack after this tournament.
And I want to marry a supermodel. Neither is happening.or how about we hope he walks away from the job having won the Euros. Surely that’s a better thing to hope for?
