Surely it’s an obvious selection to start the left back of the Champions League winners. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lrrr Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Trippier must have compromising photos at Gareth if he has to be forced into the side at LB, how Shaw and Chillwell must feel to see a RB playing ahead of them at a major tournament. All I’ll say is lose today, win the other two, hope Croatia win all 3 and they can face 2nd place of France, Germany or Portgugal and not us….

petehinton Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 If (and it’s probably a bit if) that the ‘predictions’ will be true, no biggie imo. Trippier looked good there in the week. Would much rather save Grealish et al for later in the game & also for Scotland. Could be a lot of people on Twitter left feeling pretty stupid if we win today given the amount of stick Southgate is getting before the team is even announced Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun Taylor Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 If that is the team someone needs to tell Southgate that we're the home side! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lrrr Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 My concern about leaving Grealish out is that set piece goals are a massive part of tournament football, 15 of 32 teams at the 2018 World Cup scored 50% of their goals for set pieces. So to leave the player who wins you the most fouls out while still being a very good player isn't a move I'd think wise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cityexile Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 If that’s the side, makes a mockery of his ‘I will pick players on form’ line (again). His instinct is cautious and he clearly likes a fast player ahead of Kane. As both club Euro finals showed maybe he is right, who knows, to be defensive first and foremost. Let’s hope Sterling finds some form, he should certainly be fresh enough. Trippier is the one that stands out as much higher risk. Anyhow, feel he would be happy enough with a draw tbh. I came out of our first game in ‘96 having drawn 1-1 with Switzerland thinking ‘we are a bit rubbish again’ and it ended up we were ok overall, so who knows.

Only downside with that is that we would end up playing the winner of that group in the QF going by form. Think we have a fighters chance v Germany or Portugal at home in the R16. France are the best team in it in my view and we would not be facing them at home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Army 75 Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Team to play Croatia: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Mings, Trippier, Rice, Phillips, Mount, Foden, Sterling, Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show Me The Money! Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Don’t get the Trippier bashing. He’s played for the La Liga champions ffs. I’d have maybe gone Chilwell to start but Trippier ain’t terrible (cue own goal ) My biggest worry is Tyrone Mings. Looks a championship CB at best. I’d have gone for Ben White myself. He even reminds me of Southgate when he plays. Also worth remembering that we can play 5 subs so plenty of our other attacking talent should come on at some point Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gazred Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Don't think KT at RB is the tipping point today. Need to get hold of it in midfield and keep the front 4 in the game. We'll definitely create chances today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phileas Fogg Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Apparently the logic behind Trippier is to prevent Perisic cutting in. Makes sense, but a shame we’re being reactive rather than proactive. He wouldn’t admit it, but we’re probably playing for a draw really in the hope we finish second. I predict quite a cagey game.

petehinton Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Honestly don’t mind that team. rebic is a lump which would make Mings slightly less stupid of a choice. Sterling (and probably Trippier) is needed because of experience, if most of the fans had their way we’d have a ridiculously open team full of players that haven’t played at a major tournament yet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RoystonFoote'snephew Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 I have concerns about the defence. I don't want to bash Trippier as I think he's an excellent player but he's on the wrong side for me, much more effective on the right. I would have gone with Luke Shaw. Stones will have to be at his best and cut out the laxity of concentration that can let him down and while i like Mings i don't know if he has it at the highest level. We will need to keep the ball well and Fiden, Mount, Sterling and Kane are going to have to bring their A games against a team like Croatia who are more than capable of exploiting any weakness.

Redinthehead Posted June 13, 2021 Report Share Posted June 13, 2021 Given what we have I don’t think it’s a terrible team but it does show where we are or more to the point what we lack. Trippier at LB is odd but can only assume he wanted a set piece specialist in the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
