The rentboys (mainly Africans nowadays) won't want to hear it but Palmer was not good last night. Looked worse when he came on.
england are not good enough to play a back 3
>Shaw
>>142279969Would Declan have to help out and make it a temp 4-4-2? I like it though. I'd stick you in for Southgate if it were up to me
>>142280068He's back next game
>>142280074it will be Joe Gomez
>>142280066we're playing against switzerland next round who play a back 3. we can't play back 4 against them or it will be just as bad in terms of pressing as it was against denmark or serbia
>>142280069In defence I'd have them fall back into this formation. Rice helping out the backline in a similar way as Casemiro did for United in his first season.
>>142279969Only change I'd make is Watkins for Toney to start, Toney on for Kane at half time if he's having another stinker
>>142280107>we can't play back 4 against themWe WOULDN'TSouthgate WILL
>>142280190I'd agree but there's something about having a gambling addict up front that give us an edge. If he bets on us to equalise in the last minute, I believe it will happen.
>>142280215I'd bet on anything he bets on
>>142280194he did it in past tournaments for some reason
>>142279969Best line up I've seen. When you check the heat maps, these are the positions that Foden and Bellingham want to be in naturally. Adding Gordon, Palmer, and Toney is great because they will increase service into the box 10 fold.
>>142280061He wasn't great but you immediately felt the change in pace of the whole team when he came on. It's like the team suddenly found motivation to play.
>>142279969Too attacking. Susceptible to counter attacks.
>>142279969I'd have Trent right back
>>142281752In said counterattack, Shaw and Walker could get drawn into the centre leaving the wide spaces open.
>>142281795But 2 strikers isn't a bad idea, also wouldn't swapping Palmer and Foden and putting Saka in on the right be more effective? Foden hasn't been great.
