Branthwaite has another big game. He has a good understanding with Pickford . I would pair with him Stones .
How many teams will try to copy the Alonso Leverkusen tactics ? the 3-4-3 .
Maguire looked so far off the pace v Brazil I would seriously look at pairing Stones with Branthwaite . I think that would be a good combo.
If "nice stuff" is just passing around and creating no chances ,then its ineffective. That is "southgate brand football" . The other day Brazil...
Chillwell keeps his place after the Brazil outing? very generous.
The Euro's are just too watered down. You can finish 3rd and still get through just for the sake of having an extra Knock out round.
Next England manager ? I would only look at two options Graham Potter Zlatko Dalic
Southgate doesnt even have the insight to try Stones in midfield like man city have done. Plus he picks his favourite Saka .
In other news I see Croatia win 4-2 in Holland. Their manager Dalic is a really great tactician who makes great in-game moves. If he ever becomes...
Ryan Kent joins fenerbahce. Bizarre career move IMO . He could have forced his way into the England team with a premier league move.

We have held out but its once again shows Southgate is not great at in game reactions when the opposition switch things. This is the hardest game...
I remember when we went 3-0 up in Spain . In the 2nd half we just gave up attacking and they should have pulled it back to 3-3 . We were lucky to...
Southgate doesnt know how to react to half time tactical changes. 1- 0 up in Euro final 1-0 up in WC semi in 2018 He is reactive when its all too...
2 zip , but half time is where things get switched up and where historically Southgate hasnt reacted. He has to be proactive instead of reactive .
I think Rashford dropped out because he knew he would be on the bench no matter what his form is. Against Wales he put in that monster display and...
Morocco is no reflection of African football seeing as 14 of their squad are from places like France and Holland.
So Rashford is the one to be dropped ,just as he hits his best form ? classic southgate . What a tactical genius.
Ball was clearly out with the naked eye , let alone replay. Did the TV judging panel have bias ? hmmmmm
When Germany went 4-2 up , Enrique sent the message onto the pitch.. They are more than happy with this outcome . They showed no hustle...
Look at Spains approach.. They are literally passing to themselves across midfield for 15 minutes.. no effort made to attack . They want 2nd .
Spain dont mind taking 2nd because it gives them an easier draw. Much like we didnt mind 2nd in 2018 .
Belgium look like how we played in Euro 2016 under Woy . Martinez must surely go .
Mexico about to be eliminated on bookings because every other tie breaker is even. Never thought I would see that. edit as I type the saudi's...
See how dropping Mount and Sterling for Foden and Rashford gave us the direct play we were missing . The 4-3-3 we used worked well. I would drop...
