Agreed !! Dreamlike for us who appreciate attractive football . Down the years his teams have always played lovely footie and we now have the players available to do just that .
Foden is totally wasted on the left wing. I don't see how he could perform there. I guess he's played there for tactical reasons for the team but individually it's not a good look for him.
Kind of feel like Foden is being wasted at City. He’s not a wide player and should be playing centrally. Such a snooze fest watching him struggle to get on the ball and then just playing a 10 yard pass back to Ake. Boothroyd for all his faults, at least knew how to get the best out of him.
No I think ogs is trying to make a statement with all these changes like 'im the boss' because of last week's performance
He did make some fantastic saves but that tackle on VVD was awful and reckless! How that wasn’t deemed a red card is incredible even if the offside was the first offence. If he does that in a major Championship we would be down to 10 men after 7 mins. He’s just a liability at the moment.
Difficult to Blame him. There weren’t any Creative players in the team, he can’t take the ball from the halfway line and dribble past everyone
Saka had a really nice game as a box to box LCM. If Southgate only wants hard workers in midfield then he’s one who also can play football
Mira weird because tierney is a lcb in defence but gets forward like a left wing back and saka comes into the half space from the left but acts as a wing back in defence amn plays that role wel too
After seeing some of Harry Kane’s recent passing / assists ( another fabulous assist today ) .. has looking more like a central midfielder by the day Wonder when he’ll start moving back into midfield ala Ray Kennedy ?
Southgate has reverted back to type and picked shiit tactics. I remember the last UEFA nations where we played so well away in Spain and Croatia . Then in the final 4 he picked players like delph and rice in midfield.. The formation he picked v Denmark was the worst I have seen since the McClaren era. An unbalanced back 5 with 3 right backs and 2 defensive mids.. against a team that are solid but hardly devastating opposition . Grealish , Sancho , Winks and Maddison ignored . My ideal team would be 4-3-3 Grealish.... Kane.... Sancho Winks....Henderson....Maddison Chilwell....Stones....Maguire.....Trent .............Pickford Southgate would never pick that team though.. He will never learn and always revert back to type .
