4-2-3-1 which Southgate learnt from Karl Robinson ! Luke Shaw is continuing to be a major attacking option for England despite being the LB in the four.
There’s still a massive part of me that thinks we don’t need Rice and Phillips against a side effectively playing 7 defenders
You can't just turn up against a Germany in the last 16 and completely change the way you play.
Your right we don't need them to get out the qualifying group but you need that familiar system and way of playing. These games are basically preseason friendlies, or should be.

Whilst I fully agree with that statement, I think our biggest problem against Italy was that we couldn’t change our system to combat theirs.
Could’ve been a good chance to get Mount on the ball deeper against a side that aren’t that interested in going forward.
Any professional player who gets booked for taking their shirt off should be fined a years wages. It’s a stupid rule but it’s a rule so why do they get a cheap yellow? If I was Southgate I’d be effing livid.

Just saying we know Southgate is a defensive, safe manager. We will still qualify whatever happens so job done.
Or they are just a bunch of racist, sexist, homophobic c#£ts.
I think it's almost certainly the latter.

How the hell the fans are allowed in because it isnt a UEFA game is beyond me.
And he gets booked, fucking comical.
Gameplan executed perfectly by Southgate so far.
