Southgate, why did you not bring a fit LB? Why would you sacrifice your best RW for this?

Fuck Foden. Fuck Southgate.

Walker CB over Guehi?? Tripper over TAA?? Left Baka??

Southgate really is a terrorist omg

Every match has been a reorganization of how to somehow make foden work, despite him literally never performing for the national team. So bizarre

Don’t see how this is a back 5.
Phimstone on
He goes for a less attacking team. Ofcourse.

I am so sick of Southgate, man.

Looks like a standard 4-3-3 with Trippier-Konsa-Stones-Walker defense. How does one look at the lineup and think Saka will play LWB?
To me it looks like same starting line up as previous match with Konsa replacing Guehi.

Sincerely hope this backfires immensely.

Its gonna be a back 4. Southgate isnt changing his formation now

Please Granit, I beg of you, you’re the only one who can put an end to this madness.

Left Baka, I thought you were resigned to memory.

Imagine being one of the left sided players in the squad and how disrespected you’d feel right now…

If I currently wasn’t sat in Düsseldorf arena in the England end I’d want this to fail, but I’ve spent too much and driven too far for this to be crap. Left Baka rises in the worst of times, the hero we need, not the hero we deserve

5 at back vs Switzerland is mad wtf

I see a Xhaka screamer coming.

Makes no sense. To try to improve the left side of the pitch he decimated the right. If you’re going to play a back 5 might as well have Trent at right back.

Kane and Trippier starts, yet no Toney, Gordon or Eze. Come on Switzerland.

A wingback is not the same thing as a fullback. Anyone who watched leverkusen this season will know that their two wingbacks were basically the two fulcrums of their attack. This doesn’t necessarily diminish Saka’s impact … it could actually open him up to do more damage since no one else has been exploiting the width in the left. Watch the match before rushing to judgments about how it will play out.

Not bringing a healthy LB alone should get Southgate sacked. Never mind being overly conservative and not having a clue how to build a team that function.
How do you play 2 DMs vs Slovakia knowing your going to have 70% of the ball?

Taking the Chelsea fans being salty about Palmer still being right-bench even with Saka at LWB.

Why are ppl mad ? Southgate is shoehorning Saka to this line up.

I don’t disagree with Saka as a LWB, if he can temper his urge to cut infield he can be very effective for England

Imagine you’re Konsa and the manager doesn’t trust you at all so much so he’s changed the whole system put Saka at left back just to accommodate you coming in for Guehi.
Thedudeofmanchester on
What is heck is this formation. Saka at LWB? Who is the RW in this formation? Also if you are to use a back 5, you have to include trent in the formation. I reckon even we can do a better job than this clueless muppet

I keep harping on about it, but should have taken Ipswich Town’s Leif Davis to play at LB.
2 years of being the best English left back, the stats don’t lie and he is so good and going forward and backwards.

I can’t wait to see B in Arsenal’s training ground. He doesn’t deserve this madness.

Hey, I’ve got an idea: let’s take our best young attacker—who we know came into this camp nursing a knock—and move him out of position. Oh, which position you ask? One that will nullify his effectiveness as a goal threat, limit him to possible facilitation, *and* that asks of him a significantly higher work rate and rate of defensive actions. You know, the things that ask him to put his already injured body on the line multiple times a game.
