Kingswoodactor Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Horrendous team, so defensive considering the opposition. Why Pickford again? Pope and Henderson so much better FFS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nice to see Ironic after Southgate made a point of saying he wouldn't pick any player not in the Premier League. Or maybe that was just an excuse when he was asked why Grealish wasn't playing when in the Championship Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Juat shows we have some fantastic talent going forwards, but theres a few positions where we dont have the same quality, such as keeper, centre back and possibly left back. i kinda have a softspot for denmark, they obviously had laudrup, one of the greatest playmakers of all time, but are always excellent pros, and they produce some really good players.

Alex_BCFC Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 I would be trying a new keeper. Obviously with the squad he had available and then the 2 idiots this week he isn’t left with much choice so not expecting loads. Up front obviously looks good but the rest of it weak. Fancy Denmark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCulturalBomb Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 3 defensive midfielders. What a joke. Gareth Southgate is clueless, even if he wins this game which he should. We have some of the best attacking players around. Grim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr Popodopolous Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Dunno about 3 truly defensive minded midfielders bit- Dier the most of them but Phillips though a DM is a strong passing one, Rice I believe can be strong in possession too- can give a nice enough balance. For another example, see Italy- Jorginho-Verratti (when fit) then one of Sensi, Barella one of them- or maybe two of them when no Verratti or whoever- are any of them a traditional attacking mid? Probably not! Yet they're 16 unbeaten and dominated pretty well every game in that time, possession, chances- you name it. Mancini has a whole new style compared to their (perceived) old style which was more varied than popular opinion would give credit. Our one worked fine Saturday didn't it? Dominant in most metrics- and won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LittleUn Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Could be a 3 at the back (Dier) and two holding midfielders. Not sure how wing backs and Sterling and Sancho fit into any subsequent formation though! 523, 343 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Red Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 A truly world class front 3 in Sancho Kane and Sterling but it all goes to pot after that. We will never win a tournament with that back four and Pickford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still 2 defensive midfielders Trippier left wing back. Very weird team selection. Basically just heavily relying on the front 3 to provide something as there's hardly any goals or creativity in midfield. Might work tonight but better teams will just cut off the supply to the front 3 quite easily. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheCulturalBomb Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Don't see what anyone rates in Rice. Would prefer to see Phillips as sole defensive minded midfielder and someone like Mount to play alongside in a CM role. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheCulturalBomb Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Several minutes of pointless passing between the back three and Phillips and Rice only to lose it and have Denmark get a shot almost on target within seconds of us losing the ball.

Alex_BCFC Posted September 8, 2020 Report Share Posted September 8, 2020 Same sort of poor play as Sunday so far except Denmark have left their own box and will cause more problems. As expected, with 3 DMs instead of the one needed we aren’t creating much for the front 3. Baffling selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
