England v Denmark match thread

Recommended Posts

England starting 11-

Pickford

James

Maitland-Niles

Walker

Coady

Maguire

Rice

Phillips

Kane

Rashford

 

Seemingly another negative five at the back with two defensive midfields in the middle and no Grealish, fraud mount up top.

 

Its depressing, it really is

I thought we were only starting with 10 for a minute, until you mentioned Mount!

Well, he scored a lucky deflection/own goal despite having done nothing in the last match so clearly hes far better than Grealish

 

-This is your brain on Gareth Southgate

Negative? 

And yet many on here want city to play five at the back.... 

Or is it 3 at the back with wingbacks ?Negative?Depends on your outlook.

Its only really negative if you don't let the wingback bomb on.

Would argue there is room for a bit more creativity in the middle than Rice and Phillips but it isnt some shut up shop formation.

Don’t see the point of the five at the back if you then play with two wide men up top as well.

If it was a narrow attacking two behind Kane - perhaps Mount and Grealish, with the wing backs overlapping then it could be dangerous. But last game we had Rashford and Mount too wide - wing backs couldn’t overlap very often and a bit open in midfield. We were better later in the second half when Mount switched to the eft and naturally drifted in more (which Rashford does less despite also being right footed).

If we’re playing the back 5, I’d prefer Mount and Grealish narrower in behind Kane. Or go 433, Sancho and Rashford wide of Kane and then a midfield three of maybe Henderson (if fit), Rice and Mount or Grealish

The last time you slated his selection we beat Belgium. And a player you moaned about, yet again, scored the decisive goal (Mount).

Doesn't often matter how you get there, a gameplan is a gameplay and win is a win: Just ask Derby County.

Southgate is doing what he currently does best, football management.

Stick to what you're best at. Starting threads. Or don't, that would be cool too.

Beat Belguim via an penelty and a a major deflection/ lucky own goal.

 

Belguim dominated us until they took Kevin off in the 70th.

 

I hope we do well, I just don't like the idea of going all out defence in this one.

Please don’t inflict that idea on us. Thank the Lord the international break is over.

Whether you think he should be in team or not, I’m struggling to see how Mount can be described as a fraud, who is he defrauding?

Awful ref - how was that ever a pen to Denmark? That was even softer than Skipp v PNE!  However dreadful he is, I thought Maguire’s second yellow was harsh - he got a tonne of the ball and I’m not sure how you can stop yourself from moving on a slick pitch...not that he should be on it in the first place.

Why no var for these supposed ‘competitive’ internationals?

We need Madders to start. His energy distribution and tenacity is needed.

Denmark are dominating and very classy

Hate to say it but Grealish should be on just to add a bit of guile.

OnlyGareth Southgate would bring Henderson on when we’re in need of a goal 🙄

Real shame Vardy has retired from international duty

 

Maddison supporting him behind him for England would be great

So who's replacing the fraud Southate? Howe?

Whenever someone underperforms they're not suddenly a fraud.

Less underperforming, more 

 

5 at the back with 2 defensive midfielders against Denmark of all teams

Leaving your best players such as Grealish on the bench to bring on Henderson in the 70th minute while losing, and while bringing on Calvert Lewin who only ever plays as one up top to play on the wing out of position beside Kane

 

Consistently and blatantly picking favourites when it comes to players rather than picking players based on form
