We played this way previously and looked better for it, the change to a back 4 was forced by injury more than chosen as a way of playing. I hope we do play with wing backs personally.

I would have like Mount and Henderson in the team. For Henderson, he’s not ready to play 120 minutes if required. As for Mount, he’s been self-isolating.

We’ve got talent on the bench, I’m hopeful we‘re using them to finish off the German team rather than chasing them.

Don't care as long as we win, but how negative/cautious is that line up. Basically hoping Sterling or Saka can run past their back line and keeping it safe. Where is the creativity??? If we go out having wasted the creative talent we have. GGGrrrr.

Anyway, before COV comes on and moans at me - Come on England !!

Well they are, they've got players who have all performed at the very highest level.

It's only in England where anybody thinks we're on a par with them individually.

Flapped it a bit with the lineup too .. very defensive minded , hence saka starting as he can come back and defend off the ball as a natural wing back

Need a box to box in there really especially with 3 centre halves he should have started mount next to Rice or Phillips

I dont know southgates gunna Southgate .

Hopefully we pull it off

Other countries must think we're insane for leaving Grealish, Foden, Mount, Sancho, Bellingham on the bench

Germany have Gnabry, Gundogan, Musiala etc on the bench.

But still. Fuck me. Strongest bench in the whole tournament!

Defensive as expected, but let's hope the pace element he is relying on comes off.

Silver lining is we have numerous options off the bench.

Difficult as I like Southgate and as I said earlier he is methodical in his approach, but I worry we will just invite pressure and not be able to get out.

Jealous. Home with kids, partner and pets again for me - not the atmosphere I was after. One of the kids has to self isolate, so that ruined all plans.

I can still do the drinking part though!

Such a lot of the talent on the bench. At the end of the game Southgate will either be lauded as a tactical genius or he will be berated for not introducing flair early enough.

I think Southgate is trying to fool the Germans with his 7-0-3 line up. Mind games?!

Edit: Sorry, that should be 7-1-2 (forgot about Kane in midfield)

Can’t believe how nervous I am for this. Don’t really class myself as a big fan of international football and England but I can feel nerves as before a CCFC game
