There’s no-one really that appealing out there. I think we’ll probably talk ourselves into Eddie Howe or Potter. Unless Southgate holds on a few more seasons and the Stevie G hype train has gathered pace.
Basement ?another classic
That's a no then.
Oh well probably for the best anyway, you'd just end up crying again.
Put our codes into the ticket portal like UEFA told us to but of course the website isn’t working.
No you will not take his bet O Drivel? Thats a shock. Put you put of special brew for a few weeks hey?
Got him on ignore and still looking out for his posts. Oh dear DOD.
Had to find my magnifying glass to read his post,it’s nearly 4pm now the special brew will be kicking in for big Dave
Can't you just PM this shit to each other?
Anyway what would the point in England playing 5-3-2 - it negates our style and means we will be diverging from seems to Southgates plan
We didn't match up when the scots played that way as well.

My worry is a flat 4 against their wingback system who get high,I think we can isolate their 3 CB’s,if there was a game I want sterling to play it’s this,I would play Saka right sterling left and either grealish or Foden central...at Wembley we should be confident...after 1996 I don’t think there is anyone who wants us to beat them as Southgate.
But there wing backs are only good going forward and are very suspect in defence which means as has been shown in a their games against France and Hungary you push them back and/or exploit the space behind them and 4 -2-3-1 or 4-3-3 gives you the best chance of this,
Also they play a false 9 so for large spells against them the 3 cb would be marking no one.
Being Serious though now and it's coming home aside , it's OK saying the Germans look beatable...so do we 
.
We would still have to beat quite possibly 3 serious sides to win the tournament.
I'm not sure I'm with you all yet in your optimism ... I think with this England side its best to just go one game at a time .
We've just been pretty disjointed in a relatively easy group , and now we think we will sweep aside what is looking like the Germans and the Dutch

The German battering of Portugal was arguably the best performance I've seen in this tournament. Obviously they don't hit those heights all the time (see last night) but if they turn up its a seriously hard game.Being Serious though now and it's coming home aside , it's OK saying the Germans look beatable...so do we.

Germans lack of a natural striker means that one game they might miss 10 but the next they might take their chances ..
They can still dominate a game , we've just got to hope they don't take their chances when they get them and we take ours
Yep agreed, if they'd managed to convince Lewandowski he was German like they did with Klose and Podolski we'd have no chance, but they do tend to pass up a good few chances as you say. (Watch them bury every chance they get now)

Being optimistic here. Perhaps Portugal, France and Germany are all playing shit and we're worrying about nothing 
They generally have one bad game, then one excellent game, oh fuck.
Really hoping Southgate has had us playing well within ourselves so as to make everyone think we're negative and not a real threat.
Come Tuesday he tells them to go out and express themselves and play the free flowing , up and at them footy we'd all love to see .
Reality is, I should know better

I know you're asking him and not me but yes we fucking do.
I'm flipflopping between we are gonna pull it out the bag or they are going to pull us to bits like they did to Portugal.
The Germans are so hard to read at the moment, looked good against France, excellent against Portugal and the dog and duck against Hungary
It's such an enormous game because it isn't just winning a knockout game against Germany it's opening up a pretty clear run to the final.
I am trying not to think about that possible run in... really is a massive incentive for both teams.
