What happens if someone gets injured during the tournament?
There's a lack of flexibility in Southgate's thinking. We need to be able to adapt to the players we have available and not just waiting for them to return.
Yeah I can certainly understand that approach to the thinking on here
Let's not forget Rashford and Grealish and maybe Sancho are fighting for places too.
Yeah I forgot about Sancho when I mentioned my replacements for the 23-man squad and this current one
Be curious to see who he'd come in for... Saka maybe in Mings, Shaw and Chilwell we've enough players who can play down the left of defence
Decent performance, Rice is cutting out nearly everything that goes near him at the moment
My only complaint is this feels the perfect test game for the Euros, playing a team that is happy to sit back when they dont have the ball and are inviting us to break them down - Feel we're playing in front of Poland a little bit too much.
All three of Croatia, Czech Republic, Scotland could play like this and if they're sensible and dont give away silly set pieces or penalties will be safe as houses with how we're playing at the moment - Would like to see us test their 'keeper a little bit more.
Honestly if Sterling’s decision making was slightly better he’d be unreal. Just slows it a little too much sometimes.
Awful distribution. Same goes for the likes of Rashford. All the twists and turns, but do the simple things badly. If I was Southgate I'd be begging Vardy to come back, because if we lose Kane, this side just won't score goals.

Definite contact though
That penalty literally came from losing the ball.
Not quite sure what Phillips is offering that’s different but he hadn’t been
bad.
We’re not far off.
This Poland side offer almost no test for our back 4
And once again we’re reliant on a set piece against an alright side.
But overall the 4231 is working.

Plenty of space for another attacking player but we hold back.
Without the penalty really we've only created a few half chances.
They’re defending deep in numbers. They are gonna be difficult to break down, yet we’ve looked decent and very comfortable.
I think we've looked good but need to be a bit better in the final third. An extra man there would help us.
