Yeah I forgot about Sancho when I mentioned my replacements for the 23-man squad and this current onesupaclive said:
Let's not forget Rashford and Grealish and maybe Sancho are fighting for places too.ForeverAddickted said:
Yeah I can certainly understand that approach to the thinking on hereSELR_addicks said: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.
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 defence0 -
Sterling very much winning a penalty from nothing there.0
-
Boom0
-
Thought he went down a bit easily on first viewing
Definite contact though0 -
Our real strength is on the counter/ in transition.Don’t think we need to play possession football all the time.
That penalty literally came from losing the ball.2 -
Strong cardigan game from Southgate. @Henry Irving will be impressed4
-
Gotta say I think this is showing why Pickford is important to this side.When we get pressed we need the keeper to be good with his feet. Pope is a fantastic shot stopper but doesn’t quite fit this style of football.3
-
Also the reason Pope will not be getting a big money move.0

We look good0

High press. Foden and Mount are must starts in this system.ValleyGary said:We look good
Not quite sure what Phillips is offering that’s different but he hadn’t been
bad.
We’re not far off.2 - Sponsored links:

Rice does enough himself in covering the back 4 that Phillips is a wasted shirt2
-
Rice having a very good game. So good at just tidying things up when Poland do manage to get into our half2
-
Rice is one of the first on the sheet for me. Been a fan for ages.2
-
Sterling has been very wasteful in possession1
-
I wasnt when he came into the team, but has been outstanding for West Ham this season so fully deserves his placeValleyGary said:Rice is one of the first on the sheet for me. Been a fan for ages.1 -
Honestly if Sterling’s decision making was slightly better he’d be unreal. Just slows it a little too much sometimes.2
-
At the same time though, everything attacking goes through Sterling.0
-
Good performance. Rice is getting better all the time. He's Been excellent so far tonight0
-
Has it? Mount been linking up well. Kane’s shot come from a Foden layoff.SELR_addicks said:At the same time though, everything attacking goes through Sterling.0 -
That’s one of our best halves. Rice as close to perfect as you can get really. Just two problems:
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.2 - Sponsored links:

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.0 -

I can’t think of a top level player who frustrates me more. Everything is almost brilliantSELR_addicks said:At the same time though, everything attacking goes through Sterling.8 -
Awful distribution. Same goes for the likes of Rashford. All the twists and turns, but do the simple things badly.Laddick01 said:Honestly if Sterling’s decision making was slightly better he’d be unreal. Just slows it a little too much sometimes.
If I was Southgate I'd be begging Vardy to come back, because if we lose Kane, this side just won't score goals.1 -
Germany losing at home to North Macedonia.0
-
Again the issue with the side is that Phillips has nothing to do because we're controlling the game.
Plenty of space for another attacking player but we hold back.
Without the penalty really we've only created a few half chances.3 -
My god, have you ever been positive about England?
They’re defending deep in numbers. They are gonna be difficult to break down, yet we’ve looked decent and very comfortable.1 -
Yeah fuck off roy you miserable fuck0

Without the penalty (which was borderline), we'd be controlling the game but 0-0.ValleyGary said:My god, have you ever been positive about England?

I think we've looked good but need to be a bit better in the final third. An extra man there would help us.1 -
Poland coming out a bit more this half, higher pressure. Need to get a grip on this.0

Poland look dire, is a shame Lewandowski can’t play imo, would make for a much better game1
