When you play a back three putting a fullback on the side of one of the CB positions help's with the balance. We do the same with Azpi whenever we play that formation.
Internationals November (Nations League / Euro 2021 play-offs / Friendlies)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Wtf is England starting with? So many good attacking players in the squad but i can only see 2 in the starting XI.
Very defensive from Southgate. Not sure why he’s still the manager. Seems like he dont know how to use them properly.
I believe he Will do some panic subs when belguim leads at 60 min. Like Sancho and DCL.

This lot will never win any talent show.
He'll be gone after the Euro's IMO.
Half of the English players seemingly don't know the lyrics to their anthem.
Well, we can start with the reverse fixture for a start.
How many times has he played as an 8 for club and country for you to make that assessment? He may well go on to be an 8, but more often than not, Lampard plays him as a 10 or wide attacking midfielder.
He’s a very very defensive manager. His philosophy will always be safety first. If you want attacking exciting football you need a new manager.
Think England will win this through a Kane penalty.
It’s not that uncommon. I know a handful of people who don’t know it either.
Hope so because he should do a lot better with the squad he has. 8 points after 5 games in a easy group is all but okay.
How the feck is Trippier, who is old & who Spurs fans were happy to see leave, getting in over Trent, AWB & James
I bet they all prefer Black Sabbath.
Trent is injured, James is suspended after getting sent off against Denmark and he doesn't rate AWB as a attacking force.
What does dean Henderson have to do to start.
Well I'm sure Pickford could have saved that.
It deflected off Mings.
Pickford sucks but harsh to blame him for that.
Why is Dier at CB
It did take a double deflection to be fair. Not huge deflections, but understandable that he didn't save it.
In hindsight the deflection did him.
Shootgate out
Lukaku 
Great pieces of defending from Belgium there
No English Man United players, easy win for Belgium.
Lalalalala
Lalalalala
Lukaku seems pumped up tonight
They are giving Grealish a bit of a kicking. He should take that as a compliment.
Shite. 11 behind the ball worked, Southgate a probably gonna bring on 2 more defenders and line em up on the goal line. That'll sort it.
Southgate probably thinks he's showing respect ww1 dead by going to Belgium and making no progress whatsoever.

Hopefully, Southgate gets sacked. Useless
At least they can't blame any United players.
Should be uncommon if you're representing your country.
This generation of players is wasted on Southgate
War Pigs would make a fecking great national anthem!
How does the Chelsea Lingard get in every team for club & country.
Trent is injured, Trippier is better on the ball than AWB but far worse defensively and I guess he doesn't trust James quite yet. Southgate likes pointless passing going nowhere.
Why? Nobody gives a shit. Well, apart from brexiteer gammon....
He plays there for Spurs and Maguire is suspended and Gomez injured. The only CB on the bench is Michael Keane.
James is banned anyway, three matches so wouldn't have played anyway.
I am not a brexiteer and I know the national anthem. It isn't exactly complicated.
I thouhght James is Welsh. Aah well, you learn new thing every day. Bite, please.
343 doesn’t suit the England squad. How is Mount getting a start ahead of Sancho or DCL
