wilsoncgp 9,283 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 So this time, Calvert-Lewin, Ben Chilwell and Ben White miss out on the bench. Link to post Share on other sites

No other nation/manager would have one of the best young talents in world football sat on the bench. Only mbappe and haaland ahead of him imo. I just don't see where he fits into this system and he's not worth changing the system to fit in. Link to post Share on other sites

Changing Times 12,347 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Bit disappointed with the team, I won't lie. I think we're showing Germany a bit too much respect although I can at least see the tactical reasons for the switch. However I'd really like to see us get at their defenders, and removing an attacking player feels like we're less likely to do that. Trippier's set pieces could be handy as well. I still think we can win this but it might be a game where we really need to be clinical. I don't see us keeping a clean sheet either so I reckon we'll need more than one goal this time.

Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Trippier Phillips Rice Shaw Saka Kane Sterling I'm really glad it's Saka and not Foden in that position, to be honest. Why, just out of interest? Can someone ask Wilson for me as he has me on ignore, the big Mackem cry baby. Link to post Share on other sites
Neverbefore 10,942 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 At least Werner is playing, that's a big bonus for you! Link to post Share on other sites
LBP 3,035 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 We must have the best bench of any country Grealish, Foden, Sancho, Mount, Rashford, etc 1 Link to post Share on other sites

The feeling I have about how players who don't do well against other teams but always find a way to score their debut goal or their first goal in forever against us (Boro) translates across to England. If Werner is going to have a good game, it will be today. Link to post Share on other sites

I'd imagine you would change the way we'd line up regardless of Foden and that would help him into the side. As it is, unless you drop Sterling for Foden, I don't see a way into this system for him and I don't see how we justify that given he's the man who's scored the goals. We saw even just in the last game what having Saka as an out-ball can do for us. He ultimately played better there in the game against the Czech Republic than Foden had in either the Scotland or Croatia games. Link to post Share on other sites

Disappointing line up for me, banking on the creativity coming from the wing backs very predictable as usual. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
pikerman 1,121 Posted June 29, 2021 Share Posted June 29, 2021 Disappointed but not surprised, I don’t see how we are going to get the ball forward quickly enough to give our three forwards a chance 1 Link to post Share on other sites
