When you say "relieved," do you mean "pissed all over us?"
When you say "relieved," do you mean "pissed all over us?"It still stings now to be honest. Winning the game and cruising while playing aggressive football that Italy just couldn't find a response to. Then second half he sends them out to camp in their own half and invite pressure.
Mancini looked lost in the first half and relieved in the second
I think he’ll go after the World Cup of his own accord.The press are finally starting to turn on Southgate and the fans are as well.
The problem will be if England get past the quarter finals the fa will think it’s all ok and stick with this bloke and we will be desperate to stop as he will never get a top job (I would be disappointed if he replaced Robins).
He doesn’t get the best out of a decent group of players.
Even though it was another game without a win, a lot more to be positive about last night. Saka starts over Sterling for me. Sterling looks to have lost a yard of pace which is limiting his effectiveness. Saka more willing to stretch the opposition which makes the space for Kane and Foden. Wing backs a lot more involved. Wouldn’t even bother taking Pope to the World Cup.

He needs to play Foden in a free role, not stick him out on the right wing. He's a completely different type of player than Saka, he needs to float and find pockets of space.

He would. He would have cocked up their system completely and I do agree on Foden. They are trying to pigeon hole him and it's hard to work out how he fits into the side at present. He's a fabulous player.Well those two behind the striker should be more central anyway rather than getting in the way of the wing backs.
I’ve been thinking about Foden today and whilst he’s supremely talented, I do wonder where he fits into the team. As one of the front 3 he has to score more, but I’m also yet to be convinced his playing style is compatible with Kane (part of my idea that Kane would have been a terrible signing for Man City).
Has a good look to it doesn't it. They are both feisty and strong in the tackle too.I don't like playing with wingers and wing backs.
I think the formation that suits our squad best is 4-2-3-1
You get 3 of the quality attacking mids in, stick Kane up front and tell him to stay there while letting the 4 defenders concentrate on defending.
The two in front you could have 1 shielding and one progressing. Rice and Bellingham would be my preference.

Agreed, but then we (city) don't play with wingers. England have some quality wide options that deserve inclusion.I assume the reason England don’t do this more often is the same reason we don’t at Coventry - our back four isn’t competent enough to deal with the opposition going forward. A back three makes that a lot easier to deal with.

I think if you play Grealish or Foden, you have to give them a freer role.
You see, I don't like Trippier on the left at all. He is constantly having to come back onto his right foot all the time and opposition sides identify that.
Not for me, a flat back 4 should have a natural left footer at left back.
Yup. I always feel you don't get the best from Foden when he is forced out wide. Very capable there, but he is much better in a freer role.Not for me, a flat back 4 should have a natural left footer at left back.
I also don't like Foden wide, play him in the hole where he best influences games. It feels like you've shunted him over to force Maddison in.

I would have Grealish backing up Foden, he's the obvious sub there.Fair
Trippier mainly in there for set pieces, dont feel theres anyone better in the squad frankly for that
Foden, yep fair, would swap for Grealish and start him instead of Madders
Yup. Sancho and Saka for me.I would have Grealish backing up Foden, he's the obvious sub there.
The wide slots for me would be shared out between Saka, Rashford, Sterling and Sancho
The key is to rotate them and always have fresh legs, it's a great 4 to pick from.Yup. Sancho and Saka for me.
We're down to critical RB levels in the squad (three)
Got a feeling he'll take TAA now just for an easier ride from fans/media but really, Walker predominantly plays CB for England so the space should be Tomori's.
I think we have more than enough players for the position and we also know that Eccles can cover at right back if needed.Got a feeling he'll take TAA now just for an easier ride from fans/media but really, Walker predominantly plays CB for England so the space should be Tomori's.
