I think I was at that Oldham game

KRBFC

It's actually incredible we had a back four of

Neville Rio Terry Cole.

arguably the greatest back 4 in PL history, all English and all playing at the same time!!!
and we were still shite

KRBFC

Vegas says we have more top quality now, but forgets you have to name a team, his ideal team selection would be

Foden
Mount Maguire Stones Walker
Grealish Saka Rashford Sancho
Kane Sterling

and half of those I mentioned aren't even top quality.

KRBFC

Where did I ever say Joe Cole was top class? I don't think half of this Southgate team is top class, Rice Phillips Pickford Mings Trippier Shaw to name a few. It's about the team, not the individuals. England has always been about forcing individuals into a side and hoping they click, now it's abou...

KRBFC

As someone who gave up on England after 2010 Africa, I stated recently on here that I like Southgate, his honesty, willingness to explain and back up his team selections etc so I've been watching /listening to England games for the first time in over a decade and feeling excited /hopeful again. He'...

KRBFC

To both you and Cricketfieldclaret This is the result of the England youth setup finally getting things right. This group know each other, come through the ranks with each other and put club rivalries to one side because they’ve played with each other from such a young age. No doubt Southgate has b...

KRBFC

You are just wrong, we've had smatterings of good players but never had a squad as strong as this - Champions league winners that can't get on the bench let alone the pitch !! I like Southgate, I've stated that numerous times, I find him too cautious in certain games but not so today, I understood ...

Ouch for that tackle, bit harsh if that's a red though.

He got to the ball, that was his intent and he got there well before the Ukrainian lad

It's the slow mo, I'm not a fan of VAR slow mo at all, makes everything look 1000x worse.

KRBFC

Yes better group. The group you said never played as a team, this group do. Regardless of the manager it’s the setup of England through the age groups. So why are you against Southgate then? he formed this group, created a team out of this group. Southgate was apart of the youth setup with this tea...

KRBFC

which is why for the last 20 + years the FA has heavily invested in it's set-up and we now have better technical players coming through in terms of quality and numbers. You seem to think Southgate has done it all on his own and all previous failures were down to the previous managers - you are spec...

KRBFC

Well, he rode his luck, but better to be lucky than good. Grealish changed the game and was involved twice in the first goal and the assist from the second, Southgate would claim he was right, his detractors would claim Grealish should have started. Ultimately Saka, Phillips and Rice didn’t look go...

KRBFC

just as ridiculous as CC starting a thread about it to try and incorrectly point prove - let's have it right, so far we've won nothing under Southgate, so for me the positives and negatives pretty much cancel themselves out. I really don't enjoy his negativity in a lot of games and have been reason...

KRBFC

Southgate isn't shy on making difficult decisions. I'll give him that. As he said tonight. You sometimes play the team you're against. He's not afraid to make unusual/unpopular decisions like leaving out Grealish. We had a plethora of talent back then but the question was always asked. Who do you p...

It's debatable, I'd argue that both Foden and Grealish can carry a ball forward far better than any of those you listed.

but Foden carrying the ball forward doesn't make Lampard and Gerrard worse than Rice and Phillips individually. He said squad

KRBFC

Yes just one game. The majority of the games he’s been in charge of have been so underwhelming. This is the best group of players I’ve seen in an England squad he should be reaching semi-finals and beating a very poor German side. The best group of England players you have ever seen? Are you 5 year...

KRBFC

That miss from Muller was very reminiscent of Jordan Rhodes' at Ewood. As was the feeling that we, Burnley and England, were going to go on and win. Anybody heard from the Jocks - the real ones or the plastic ones - who post on here ? Funny you say that it was the first thing that popped into my he...

Great today,

Out if we lose the next game?

Don't worry, the same people will be crying at his team selection on Saturday again.

KRBFC

For as crap as Pickford is consistency wise at Everton, he's always been incredible for England.

Declan Rice hammering the idiot fans like the ones spouting rubbish on here. Well said that man

Just remember, we are the negative ones on here, I'd say we are realistic and fair.

KRBFC

It was hard to believe that Germany even had wing backs. Completely shut them down did that formation and selection, ''why are we not going for it'', I thought we were the better side throughout, nullified them aside from a couple of moments they were always going to have. It's not Football Manager...

Played to our strengths again. Sterling comes up trumps again. Pickford steps up again. Outstanding.

I thought he was brave starting Sterling over Grealish for this tournament, for a ''yes man'' he hasn't folded to the fans pressure to play XYZ.

KRBFC

Played it absolutely inch perfect, people crying out for Foden Grealish Sancho Kane Sterling Mount to all start at once. ''why are we playing 7 defensive players'' Stuck to his guns, knew tactically the best way to beat the Germans is a back 5 to nulify their wing backs, perfect sub and timing for t...

KRBFC's hard-on for southgate is bordering on the maniacal.

I don't care about Southgate, we are playing well and people wanna sit here and moan about him managing Boro 14 years ago

that's some maniac stuff

The best results of any England manager since the 60s. You look like a desperate idiot banging on about him managing Boro 14 years ago

KRBFC

You look at the creativity on our bench, and then we have ostensibly seven defenders out on the pitch. This isn't football manager, Phillips and Trippier have been anything but just defensive players in this game. The system and selection has worked so far. Btw Germany are also playing the same for...

Good, entertaining first half.
We should be targeting Rudiger a bit more.
How he didn't get a booking for his early body check I don't know.
Everyone's done well thus far, I'm not sure what changes, if any, should be made.

I wanna see Bellingham in that midfield two after an hour.

KRBFC

If only we had an attacking midfielder who would get into most international teams whose talent has been recognised by the worrlds best coach and rates him as a 100 million pound player to get him to sign for him........oh hang on the former Middlesbrough boss thinks otherwise. deluded, England hav...

What do you think I mean? We have 7 defensive players.

Go ask Antonio Conte, he's won multiple league titles with 5 at the back. Chelsea won the CL title with 5 at the back. The full backs aren't defensive players tho

KRBFC

How do you hit them on the break with only 3 attackers? Plus, why do we have to worry about them and not them worry about what we can do? What do you mean with only 3 attackers? most sides play 433. because they have world class players ALL over the pitch, especially in midfield. If you don't worry...

KRBFC

It's quite clear why he's gone to a back 5, Portugal attacked Germany and got smoked from the wing backs, that isn't the way to play this German side, it's asking to get beat. Keep it tight and hurt them on the break. ******** to your ''plucky losers who gave it a go'' lets grind out a win and advan...

The more I read about Mendes, Raiola and their ilk the less I like them and want Fifa to do something about them. Same with those involved in the transfer of that lad who signed for Cardiff and died in the plane crash. Mendes isn't too bad, I hate that leech Raiola though. Did you see what Raiola d...

KRBFC

I also expect Germany to edge it. Some very experienced players, and perhaps as importantly a head coach who has been there and done it. In terms of talent on the pitch, we may just have enough to take the lead and shut them out but I'm not expectant. Either way, it's quite exciting to have such a ...

KRBFC

On our WhatsApp group with said Italians (and Germans among others) the Germans think we are the better side but that they have the big game and tournament mentality. The problem with us is all of our better players are in forward areas so we cant get them all on the pitch. I wanna see Kane Grealis...

We've done the brave and courageous losers a couple of times so I want Southgate to set up the team to best win a match like Dyche does with us. If that means its a crap match then so be it and if it doesn't work he takes the flak but going all gung ho is in my opinion the weak and safe option What...
