@African_brehda said it best, when the lights are bright, Dayot starts messing up

This is just a group stage game breh, homie might just be scared of stadium lights in general. I’m about to send him a python course from Udemy, it’s not too late to reconsider

 

[ThrobbingHood]

i guess that was the goal so maybe he won in his mind.

You already know that was the end plan… but I’ll save that convo for another thread.

 

[Kunty McPhuck]

Palmer's little cameo and the increasing pressure on Southgate means that Saka will be dropped

Nah. Waistcoat wants Gole as a penalty taker. So he's impact sub. Also he doesn't have much football in his legs due to not playing for a couple of week. So it's better if he comes on vs tired legs.

 

[Yayo Toure]

Southgate is just the fall guy, FA pulling the strings.

Why you think the lineup leaks a whole day before the game, and every player that gets dropped from the XI they usually announce it the day before? It's focus group football, shyt will never win.

Big Sam was gonna run things how he wanted so they ran him out of that job real quick.

catching up on the matches of the day

That goofy stutter stutter penalty shyt lewandoski was doing needs to be banned

Glad I didn't watch the England game, Mainoo should come play for Ghana

 

[LiveFromLondon]

Brehs how much emphasis should be placed in the fact the no English manager has won the Premier League since it's inception? Is tactical illiteracy a thing in the English game?

Eh maybe but the PL now seems like a gift and a curse.

That ship has sailed.

 

[Liu Kang]

I think England will probably fare better against teams that try to score. Slovenia didn't need to win to qualify so they could park the bus all game (perks of 24 teams).

England showed in the first half against Serbia that they could shine. I wouldn't be too worried above all as they conceded the lowest amount of chances in the group stage.

A tournament is to be won no matter how you play.

watching England games make me appreciate George W. Bush, Donald Rumsfeld and the War on Terror

England need to go with this:

Pickford

Walker Stones Guehi Shaw/Trippier

Rice Mainoo

Saka Foden Gordon

Kane/Watkins​

Shaw gets back in when he's healthy. Overlaps and stretches the field better than Trippier

Bellingham is not in form. Bench him and put Foden at 10, he and Trippier on the left is a bad combo.

Waterboard Kane and tell him to not drop deep. If he doesn't listen, bench him for Watkins. England have too many guys who want the ball to feet. They need runners. An on form Rashford or Sterling is in the starting lineup. Gordon and Watkins can provide this.

Bring Palmer on as a supersub.

 

[concise]

Only Ukraine need a win from group E today

Ive seen john calipari do better work with roster construction & management than southgate
