Semi finals in the World Cup, minimum of Quarter finals this time, with Spain the biggest threat left. Would be nice if our football was a bit more expansive, but more than happy with a conservative style that sees us do well for once. Some here would moan if we won the final 1-0. I am actually a Southgate fan but I do think we only need to be a bit more expansive. 3-4-3 was the right set up but the wing backs were not pushing on. When Grealish came on he was always looking to drive forward and that encouraged Shaw to do the same. Kane also started making forward runs instead of ambling around. No need to be gung ho, just have a bit more belief and play more vertically, get Sterling and Grealish running at defenders, supported by the wing backs, get in behind the defence and goals will come.

No need to be gung ho, just have a bit more belief and play more vertically, get Sterling and Grealish running at defenders, supported by the wing backs, get in behind the defence and goals will come. I think (with benefit of hindsight) this game we were set up about right. We should have been more expansive against lesser sides for sure, but thought especially the first half it was more a case of 2 sides cancelling each other out a lot. There definitely was a lack of movement from our players at times, but (again this is IMO) individually the Germans had a better midfield pair and stronger CBs than us, and goalkeeper too, so I can absolutely understand a cautiousness in this game. Again, against sides like Czech Republic, and the ones left in our half of the draw I'd expect more, but today was spot on. We limited a strong side to very few clear cut chances and got what was actually a pretty comfortable win in the end. With Southgate I wouldn't say I'm a fan per se, thought he was a very underwhelming appointment, but the criticism he gets is extremely OTT a lot of the time and he has earned himself the benefit of doubt with the results so far in tournaments.

Classy Watching in the US a so can't see/hear what he's been saying post game. Could you share? Edit: Never-mind just saw this on the bbc live text feed: You have to recognise the moment. This is England's moment. You've got to realise if you go through the quarter-final you play a semi-final here, and you maybe have a sell-out crowd in the final. It's not going to be an easy road to the final, but it's doable. Now they have showed the belief, Harry Kane broke through and the energy is high. You've got to take advantage of that and win this all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
