Germany just look like they have more energy than we do. 

I've got more energy than Kane and I'm 4 stone overweight

Starting to think Denmark might be the best squad in the entire bracket. I think they could dust off either of these teams tbh.

Sancho, Grealish and Foden on the bench. How is Southgate watching this and thinking it's working?

I really don’t know what he is watching sometimes. It’s like he is scared to go for it.

Just like Charlton around the box.....pass, pass, pass.....cross goes nowhere  

ricky_otto

I’d change the front 3

RodneyCharltonTrotta

Get Grealish and Foden on

I said the same thing earlier when we had a corner and within 6 seconds Pickford had the ball at his feet in his own area

4? Your scales broke?

Offering very little at present, Southgate needs to make changes.

Bit OTT on here tbh. It’s not great but we’ve been in control for most of the game.

When will the first change come? 85th? Like for like?

How on earth does Grealish not get a start in our midfield.

Because he’d leave us too exposed.

I see. Better to be scared of losing rather than try to win the game, is that it?

Yeah, not saying I agree, just saying that’s what Southgate’s reasoning is.

Feels a lot like how boring and awful Englandvwere in the 1970's. Lots of sideways and backwards, and very little spark.

Its like chalk & cheese compared to last nights matches

Which is what makes the inevitable 1-0 or penalty loss even worse. Germany are not even close to the team they were.

Saka has faded

sam3110

Take off Saka, Kane and one of Phillips or Rice, bring on Sancho, Grealish and a CM

We are tragic on the counter without a ST.

This aint a league match ffs !  Someone HAS to win it. Might as well go for it than lose on pens.

Only one team look like they may nick a goal this half, it's not us.

MrWalker

Kane is having a bone idle mare.
Are we really keeping him on for one penalty kick?

Agree, but that would require Southgate to actually think.

Chunes

Germany about to do the absolutely unthinkable.....

Substitute their striker.

North Lower Neil

Got 1-0 Germany written all over this.

NapaAddick

Grealish on?

Leeds_Addick

Grealish for Saka and Henderson for Rice please Gareth

Rice should be not be playing international football.

He should but it should be for Ireland

North Lower Neil

Come on Grealish!
