Would be nice to hear from the team as to why they think the England senior team “set up” (coaches, manager and so forth) don’t take more cues or learnings from how the successful youth teams play - like the u21 team that won the Euros exactly one year ago. They have no issues progressing the ball. Also, why England have reverted back to playing like this because England didn’t play like this beating Italy twice in the qualifiers, or I don’t think in the last World Cup - in contrast to JJ Bull’s Scottish opinion 😂 (Team put 6 past Iran, smashed Wales and Senegal, and went toe to toe with France. One bad game against USA).

I said this months ago. Theyve always had Rashford or Sterling to run beyond Kane, Gordon is the only profile who does this. If Shaw isn't going to be fit, Saka has to play on the left. He can be a wingback rather than fullback. You can negate this with either Rice dropping in or Walker tucking in(or play Gomez). You could then play Trent who can move to his favourite right handside. He'll have options if you have Gordon stretching defences. This will also make opposition presses more wary.

Lol Joe Devine actually had the best answer I think with dropping Saka left back and Gomez for Guehi as Gomez is more comfortable defending that left hand space. Then either a back 5 with Trent on the right or Palmer on the right or Gordon on the left and move Foden right. Not taking the option of dropping Bellingham next to Rice into account.
@sueme252528 күн бұрын
Beyond this tournament, England need to clarify their football 'culture'. By that I mean what is their footballing Identity. It is quite clear that the biggest problem for the national team has been this. For a series of tournaments now, it has been very easy to clarify the way in which the best teams will play. Spain, Brazil, Germany, France, I could go on. It is because they have a very clear playing culture. It's so easy for their players who play for various leagues to come back in to the national set up because they know what the system is. If anything, these teams have less rigid tactical profiles because their players were so well cultivated fundamentally at the lower levels. I'm surprised as to how England struggles with this when a majority of their players are in the same league. It's concerning. This leads on to my next point. the players that come in to England are no doubt technically proficient. But they seem to lack confidence and soundness technically when playing. There is to much of the CBs holding on to the ball and passing negatively and wing players and midfielders don't feel confident enough to link up with 1 - 2s to break down defences efficiently to score. It's worse when you have a striker who despite their strong technical ability does not want to stay up and lacks wingers who like to get in to space to cause damage from playing off him. I feel that they thrive with rigid tactics and not when playing off each other in a free flowing manner that you recognise amongst the competitive teams. England don't have to play tika taka to play interesting, damaging and engaging football. They do however need to be sharper and smarter on the ball and that comes with confidence with how to play with each other, knowing your compatriots abilities. This tournament has been so negative because they hold the ball poorly. Physically, I believe England is fine. Mentally, Southgate has made them stronger than ever. Furthermore, we know England can press. It has been a key reason as to why they have made it this far in spite of their inconsistency in pressing. But if the FA seriously want England to stop seeming delusional on the International stage, they need to look at the technical quality of players so that there is less profile clashing and more cohesiveness when on the ball.

@@dariusftw3378 kind of a moot point, and an evident lie. In spite of their difficulties they have faced credible challenges on a regular basis and consistently show what they country is fantastic at in footballing terms. Pacey wingers with exceptional technical ability. Fantastic midfielders that match their intensity with great chemistry and ball playing ability. Defenders that are intelligent and physically dominating. Above all they know how to press as a team and work together to break down one quite well. I perceive their issue to be a finishing one which makes a lot of sense when you have a dreadful striker like Thuram leading. What can you say about the England team though? (this question is not rhetorical) Furthermore, what I have stated is hardly hate. Wanting a more cohesive and clearer culture is not hate. In addition to this I recognised strengths of the team towards the end.

You could sum up Englands problems in 6 words "No one is making any runs". It really doesn't matter who's in the team or what the structure/tactical setup is. Until the players start to show some off the ball goalscoring/creative ambition we will continue to be reliant on moments of individual brilliance and the odds are that won't see us beat Switzerland.

I agree with the 3-4-3 formation, but it makes it harder to bring on Palmer etc. Swiss will also adjust in game if we play 3-4-3. They will as JJ says overload TAA, and we will STILL have problems on the Left. If Luke Shaw was fit then a lot of Southgates problems are fixed. We would still be tactically deficient and probably lose against Spain / Germany etc, however at least the FEEL of the team would be better. Southgate just keeps making it so complicated. He needs to reduce the mental load on his players and stop playing them out of positions. Be Chilllwell would have been fine at Left-Back! Why the obsession with Trippier?! Hopefully we keep it simple. Going to be a tough day Saturday.

As a neutral non-European watching the euros I see a clear distinction between three categories of teams; a shared understanding of football with lots of talented players but no clear superstars in Spain and Germany, no shared understanding of football great number of talented players with a number of superstars in England, France and Portugal and finally teams with no shared understanding of football and a few talented players and no superstars but with a clear tactical set up that has come from managers that were able to utilize their teams to more than the sum of their parts in Switzerland, Austria, Turkey and the Netherlands. It’s also telling that the best managers right now come from Spain and Germany now while France and England hardly produce any top level coaches with Portugal producing tacticians that aren’t a product of a specific school of thought but are mavericks with their very own ideas. The Spanish and German national team are likely to sustain success as long as their approach to coaching remains the same and are unlikely to rely on golden generations to win trophies while France, England and Portugal will always need to have a golden generation with clear superstars and even that is no guarantee of success.
