Can’t see him dropping the 2 midfielders,4231 with Foden & mount coming back in I feelI'm probably thinking of past involvements with breaking teams down.
I think Henderson comes in for this one which will free up another forward
When are yellow cards wiped?I'm confused about this yellow card situation. I've heard they're scrapped but also heard Rice and Phillips maybe rested to protect them
I would fancy us more v Italy than v Belgium, who have a bit of a jinx over us
Well I had a great day and wouldn’t have changed any part of it.
Its not really as much to do with their ability for me, I just feel like they always beat us, but having said that I totally forgot we beat them last time out...
What would be perfect is if we got to the final and Switzerland somehow manage to march onto the final... or would that be 'devaluing' our potential victory?
We have beaten them 16 times - they have won 5
Let them do it. Having seen all their games at the tournament they're very weak defensively.This Ukraine match could be a tricky one if we don't score early. They will be playing for penalties from the off and won't engage in any football in our half unless they have to.
Could be a frustrating evening.
Me neither, they have a big centre forward which suits our back 2 and they have a slow back 4 which suits our fast forwards. Sterling would have Vertonghen on toastCan’t get onboard with this overestimation of Belgium.
Can’t get onboard with this overestimation of Belgium.
They're ranked #1 in the world (I know, I know), they beat us twice in the last tournament, and they've got a better goal difference than all but one other team in this one.
Spain let a poor Croatia side put 3 past them. I think we could contain Morata and get behind them easily enough.The last time we play Belgium at Wembley, we beat them.
Most of our squad in for the 2018 World Cup are sat at home watching this tournament. That’s how much our squad has changed since then. Comparatively, Belgium are not as strong as they were in that tournament. Despite that, still a very credible threat.
The team I’d be most worried about playing is Spain. They’ve upped their game after a lacklustre start.
They beat us in a game we wanted to lose and a game we weren't arsed about tbfThey're ranked #1 in the world (I know, I know), they beat us twice in the last tournament, and they've got a better goal difference than all but one other team in this one.
One position I worry about is goalkeeper. I think Pickford is quite a poor keeper, error prone and doesn't concentrate enough. I also think at times his shot stopping can be quite poor and he lets stuff in or pushes it out/spills it into dangerous positions far too often.
Not just aimed at you specifically SBD as there's plenty of other similar posts but just wanted to share this:
I saw one match, can't remember which might have been Sweden or Ukraine with a German ref and wasn't particularly impressed , but I would personally trust the Germans to officiate our game., the acid test .Now the panic is setting in for some as every official on Saturday, except for the Spanish fourth official, is German.

I did mention the other day we will need a good ref as my perception was Ukraine are overly physical.
Eek. And what's the nationality of the Spanish fourth official?Now the panic is setting in for some as every official on Saturday, except for the Spanish fourth official, is German.
I think he might revert to a back four tomorrow in order to include another attacking player. I would like to see Sterling, Grealish, Foden behind Kane, but I imagine he will bring Mount in.
He might drop one of Rice/Phillips because of the suspension risk, but not sure which and not ideal if Henderson isn't fully fit. And I can't see him starting Bellingham.
Looking forward to it though, by now hopefully expectations are not for us to go gung ho, but I am hoping he lets the brake off a little more tomorrow, at least with the front 4, as we will need creativity to break them down.
What a hero Uri is.

Think, Henderson and Mount will be brought in not be suprised if he brings Mings in with Mcguire having a booking.I think he might revert to a back four tomorrow in order to include another attacking player.

Shit did not realise that. Ta.If they get booked tomorrow they’re suspended for the semi. They are wiped after this round yes but if you’ve accumulated 2 you will still be suspended
