3D chess move from Southgate to put his players and formation out there publicly, only to suffocate the Swiss with the usual 4-2-3-1 haramball for 120 mins. and sh*thouse a win on penalties.

9 at the back Kane in midfield Everyone passing sideways and then cutting inside Perfect Southgate Ball

So glad he's not injured. Come on lads, let's see if we can keep it going.

England score a goal ,drop back in defence ,And then fail to counter attack, This goes back to sven English against Portugal,and Argentina , They have to find a counter attack routine and gain faith in it, Football is a simple game do not complicate it.

We might finally have width with Saka and trent

Common England, Let’s get behind the team we can do it!

5:10 "that's the belief that we, that I definitely have" - insightful comment there. Backtracked from not speaking for his team because he knows that many of the team don't share his optimism or passion for England to win.

Why are we announcing this publicly, surely its better to have Switzerland think were playing a back 4 until matchday when we announce the teamsheet

The media know more about what Southgate is going to do more than the players. The Switzerland coaches probably know more than the England players also. That is quite bad tbh

John stones seems like one of the only senior players not getting caught up in the criticism band wagon some of the other senior players need to use him as an example , good on ya john for being mentally stronger than 99% of the squad

I always like to hear what John has to say.. seems like a humble guy..

all we can do is our best win or loss, come on england!

whys the media shiting emselves cus were going 3 at the back

So John said before that they have to work hard to improve the way they play and he says they have worked hard to improve things and yet things only got worse, Fear is what leads the manager and so what leads the team, too afraid to try anything, to press, to move into space, to play the tough ball, even Southgate said they were not trying to force it, but maybe when teams put ten players back to create holes in their defence you have to force it.

What we need to do is score early on, then play a 9-1 formation, just to keep the guaranteed 1-0 in tact :)

Wickford, almost getting lobbed and with his venomous shouting, was our most attacking player last game

Why and what is the mentality of revealing what formation England are going to be playing at this juncture it doesn’t make any sense to reveal it to all a sundry.

I think if we are looking to progress then Switzerland will need to feel that we have deserved to. It is no good seeing your team mates panic on the pitch. Be ready for the match. Be prepared to move and make angles for your team mate to open up space for a pass. Don’t wait for somebody else to move. Get up and get back. Don’t crowd the attacking six yard box. Be patient the chance will arrive when there is space for the ball to fall into. But you should work off the ball to find space whether you move or take up a good position and be patient out wide or in the attacking zones.

I think they will get in form till saturday and win sadly (im swiss)

Smart guy, speaks well.

Come on England we are way over due for a trophy would mean the world for the country let’s give them all the support we can as a nation come on England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Luke Shawwalker will rescue us Jedi against the Swith.

How much more defensive can they get. Put the fans out of their misery

So: Walker, Stones, Konsa, Trent, Bellingham, Rice, Saka, Foden, Kane, Palmer? Or does he start Gallagher and play Bellingham in the forward position instead of Palmer? can't see that winning easily.

Blimey, some 3 🦁 fans are unbelievers. Cmon, Roar on Big Balls Jude & his 3 🦁 pride. Do your prayers meditations cuz thats how Argentina fans ended 36 yrs of hurt. Its coming home, & that wonder goal by the young Brummie proves it. 27 seconds from a bad defeat, but he & Harry won it. It was the same for Argentina, who lost to Saudi, but Argy chose to pray & not bash the boss & then destiny chose Messi to turn it on. Leo undressed the ManC defender & made a lovely defence unlocking pass/assist like only he & Trent can.

Love the build up.. watch the 3 in the back turn 6 in the back within first 15 mins

Three at the back...Trent on the right, Saka on the left? England can widen their game. Do it Gareth!

What do they expect him to say about Akanji.... "Yeah Manu and Walks sit next to each other in the dressing room and we know how to get under his skin" Come on really??

Actually a back 5 with 2 wing backs will be the perfect attacking set up for England.

That won't help them anyway

Stones been heavy strappin since day

It will still be stale and lethargic. Just hopeful of a win.

Southgate ball: If i don;t know what I am doing, neither does my opponent!

The team have done well so whatever happens England will walk on.

Based upon England's performances, it doesn't look like they practice their passing style, positioning, press or movement off the ball. To me, it looks like pure instinct and fear reactions, not intelligent and practiced responses to external stimuli. They have five gears, but never get into second gear. In fact, there's not enough passion, energy and urgency. If anything, they're too calm and relaxed. Southgate has one plan and one team -- he's adverse to changing the system or changing the players, this behaviour is based upon fear.

It will be the usual formation 721...

I thought you all played at the back

Pickford gets more kicks from the defence than Kane gets from the midfield.

you know the swiss might be watching this

😂. All them games leading up to the finals and now, in the knockout stages, let's try something different

I don't care if they play 1,9,1 just win that's all that matters

Southgate still the coach boy! 😂

Say what you want about our John but he’s got a fantastic hair line

Gone are the days when your system is a secret? Or is it a bluff?

WE NEED A NEW CAPTAIN

Man said Southgate just changed the system 😂😂just like that an the team clicked in with it😂nail in the coffin

if they play attacking football they will smash Switzerland , but Southgate will play defensive tactics and England can't defend

Makes no odds anyways, Spain are going to own us.

SIDEWAYSGATE masterclass incoming.

For sure Southgate will parking the bus 🚌🚌🚌🚌🚌😂

I forecast that Southgate will change almost nothing - except that he may bring back Conor Gallagher into midfield. If you didn't know better you might suspect that he is actually there to sabotage England in this tournament, the way he has turned a bunch of confident and highly talented footballers into a herd of timid sheep.

Very clever expose your game plan to the opposition before it even starts...just shut up and get on with it ffs

We might be cooked

There is always one formation more boring than our last one. Luck will get England through 🤣🤣🤣

John Ermm Stones.

Back 9

C'mon England.

Win this trophy???!! Seriously mate 😂wow!

How about playing Trent at right back and stop being a coward . Southgate talks about being brave and is so defensive its ridiculous considering the talent in forward areas . Trent can do from right back what Southgate wanted him to do from midfield! Makes no sense when you can play a midfielder in midfield and still have Trent doing his thing putting pin point 30 yd passes on strikers heads ,feet and its not rocket science for Rice or whoever to cover when Trent goes forward. Have some balls and play him in his position instead of experimenting in a tournament ffs and then throwing the lad under the bus when it doesn't work . Put Walker on the left ... he,s done nothing from right back anyway. Cole on as well and let Gordon run at them and not in the 88th minute. Good luck lads. YNWA

Triple like to take bale the back every time

What pathetic asinine questions from Dorsett.....

So Southgate changes the team only after massive pressure from fans and pundits. He should of gone years ago, wasted time.

What a beautiful man.

Why would you give your opponent a tactical strategy leading up to the game?? 😂 I can’t wait until England gets to knocked out of the Euros. The whole narrative has been about England.

England...... good on paper, rubbish on grass.

3-0 Swiss Red card for England player too

i can't wait for them to get knocked out!!! They've been awful to watch, extremely lucky against Slovakia and probably the worse team to reach the quarter finals in the last 20 years!!! Stats don't lie it's been an absolute disgrace!!

WHAT IS THIS ARE YOU LOOKING FOR VIEWS

On me head son

Watching England or watching paint dry? Same thing.....really boring, lacklustee, lazy, overinflated City players, overpaid championship level footballers with a coach who makes Kevin Keegan look like Carlo Ancelotti 😂

Brace yourselves for another Southgate master class 😢

KANE WAS COMPLAINING ABOUT THIS MEDIA THING

Does he know who we playing yet? Pmsl most unproffesional player ever!

Dude😂😂 stone s weird haircut - hair line and Palmer s... Was the trend here in Greece but... But back in 2005😂😂😂 Do they really think they are 15 years old

Looks tired

he is very slow and one sided player cant play in the right always passing and looking on the right

Thanks for keeping us updated! I feel sympathy and empathy for our country. low income people are suffering to survive, and I appreciate Angelie Marrie . You've helped my family with your advice. imagine investing $30,000 and receiving $95,460 after 28 days of trading

England can't win😂
