Germany must be pooing themselves.....

Double it up with Brazil, no brainer!But the 11/10 on a Germany win is
Isn't that 5 defenders, 3 dm's and 2 strikers?
People complain when a manager picks the same old faces, people complain when they pick new faces. What can you do?
Apart from Livermore who's there due to injuries I don't see anything wrong with any of those players, they've all been performing for their clubs
To take my point to the extreme and unrealistic then so you understand. What if only our centre backs were the only players doing well? Should we field 10 centre backs then?People complain when a manager picks the same old faces, people complain when they pick new faces. What can you do?

You have to think about the balance of the squad when selecting players. You can't just pick players solely on form/ability and then think about how to shoehorn them into a shape. You have to have that style of play and shape(s) in mind before selecting the squad.
Why do you need 2 DMs when you have 3 centre backs? Why not just play Rashford for Livermore and go with a midfield 2 of RLC and Dier for instance? It's not ideal but it's better than the alternative imo.
I know it's Germany we're playing but we need ball players on the pitch.

Funnily enough yeah I think we might nick a result too but that's only because Germany will attack us. Against the lesser sides though Southgate has looked clueless and I think even better teams will see us as a Liverpool in the World Cup because of it. For me Southgate should be setting up friendlies against lesser sides in the run up to the WC as that's where we really struggle.Yeah mate I get your point and I don't want Livermore either but i honestly think if Livermore was replaced with winks, for example, then that would be a decent team considering the injuries and my point is more about the general ridicule of the whole team
In fact, I've got a sneaking suspicion this team will do alright tonight, maybe even win (funny/optimistic ratings incoming)

Still cant believe Southgate decided to ignore Zaha and let him go and play for somebody else. Huge mistake IMO.
We've got enough attacking options if you ask me so it's not a massive miss. Our problem is finding solutions in central midfield mainly.Still cant believe Southgate decided to ignore Zaha and let him go and play for somebody else. Huge mistake IMO.
Obviously not if you look at our line-up tonight.We've got enough attacking options if you ask me so it's not a massive miss. Our problem is finding solutions in central midfield mainly.
