Look at those books behind Klinsmann. He's a real traveller.

Craig Burley: Saka hasn't done it at the highest level like Foden has. ?? Foden has 4 goals for England in 38 appearances, Saka has 11 in 37 appearances. So perhaps reassess that opinion. Foden and Saka are both world class players and I'd start them both. No disrespect to Palmer and Gordon but they do not have the credentials to start - although they are excellent players and can be very effective as subs. England's front 4 have been ineffective because they don't get the ball played forward quickly enough. The structure of the team is too defensive to get Foden and Saka on the ball up front where they can hurt defenses. Play Bellingham and Rice as a double pivot and play a much higher defensive line and forward press. That's a structure where you will see Foden and Saka playing like they do for Man City and Arsenal because that's the structure their club teams play.

100% Toney Kane 3-5-2 would be amazing

Foden has been a difference maker 😂😂😂😂 what a load of baloney, Foden has never and I emphasise NEVER had a good game for England in 3 years. Bench him and play either Toney up front with Kane or play Gordon instead at LW, Foden has had his chance and he's been poor every single time he puts on a England shirt.

Harry Kane should not be captain so he can concentrate on scoring goals. Get someone in defense to be captain so they can see what's going on

Saka may not have dazzled this tournament but for Craig Burley to say Saka has not done it at the highest level and that Foden has is delusional. Saka has 11 England goals and 6 assists in 37 games. That included 6 World Cup and World Cup qualifier goals. Foden has 4 England goals and 8 assists in 38 games. Laughably insulting

Southgate is reaching the finals by laying low😂😂😂😂, 1000000000 IQ.

Southgate hasn't tried anything. He's barely mixed things up. Making subs in the last 2 mins is ridiculous

Listen to Jürgen. 2 Strikers would cause Switzerland some huge problems. Especially on that Rodriguez side.

For how many matches do Forden play for England yet is been poorly but pundit want to start him ahead of some players,

Every time this England squad advances I’m surprised. What an underdog story good for them.

"saka and foden have both not played well but foden has done it at the highest level" - saka 11 goals for england including multiple tournament goals. There is absolutely no reason for foden to be this unfroppable

There are four types of results: Control/Win, Control/Not Win, Outplayed/Win, Outplayed/Not Win. It's not about style or pretty, its about control and England have none at all. All their results are being Outplayed by the opposition and they are riding their luck because the first four teams couldn't score. However, the other 7 quarterfinalists, quite frankly, are superior and the Swiss will thrash England.

Frank on the 1-1 prediction could be the one

refreshing to hear an attacker talking tactics ...we have an ex defender as a manager and thats his focus COE

Jarrod Bowen can bring a lotta problems, he's got that💥🔥too.

If you want 2 play 2 forwards, Watkins provided more movement in 10 minutes than most of the team

I hope the swiss team wins! it would be the first time a swiss team would qualify for the semi final. But if they loose i hope England will win the title.

Not sure what Burley is talking about with Foden doing it at the "highest level". Like done what exactly? He didn't start the CL final against Inter, he started the FA cup final against United and was invisible, he's essentially never performed for England, and has been carried in a better team than Saka his whole career. If he thinks Foden is better than Saka, that's fine, just say that. But stop with this "highest level" nonsense

Burley is also clueless about the transition to back 3. They effectively did this in the last game and have won some big games with this formation. It suits both Stones is a poor one on one defender but a good reader of game and distributor of the ball, and Walker who is his opposite

IT WOULDNT MATTER WHAT ENGLAND DID IT WILL BE CRITISISED. They are progressing and growing into the tournament. Italy, Germany, Belgium, Portugal and other good teams have been knocked out. keep it real. England have a chance in every game they play now as do their opponents. I am not a huge fan of Southgate however i have liked him more and more since this tournament started. My criticism is more about leaving Rashford and any other left back out of the squad and playing Tripier at left back. Southgate put himself into a corner with his squad selection, that is my only criticism, apart from that I see England growing into the tournament, which is what tournament winners do, they rarely start as well as they finish

Bout to watch Maca highlights, heard he was that guy

There is no way England will match Switzerland's midfield despite having quality midfielders than Switzerland. They just don't know what they are doing. The game will we be won in the middle of the park. Bellingham is not a 10. Bellingham is a central midfielder (8) so why does he keep playing high???. The problem is he can't give the team a structure and play the players in their natural position.

these are the best predictions I've seen

England had a easy route is the quarters so lucky...where the England Women had to play the French twice and so far once so far against the Swedes, to qualify for the Euros next year how is that fair

Come on England, its coming home!!!!

Switzerland will get the job done especially with rumors that Southgate is going to play a back 3

How the frick are we favourites? The Swiss will play us off the park

I really hope England gets sent home by Switzerland in the regular 90 min. I'm so tired of hearing about this overhyped team. I'm also tired of hearing about Southgate. I don't want this team to go to the Semis. Go Switzerland 🇨🇭 💙 ♥️

Such stupid xomments Saka is the ONLY one who has been trying and breaking through on the right!

Swiss 3-1 england

And once again we’ve avoided all the big teams it happens in every tournament we play in. They always seem to play each other in the early stages. But not us. Thank goodness.

Depending on what eingland comes out and Swiss knows how to kick the ball 😮

Burley is such a whiner.

what about Palmer ?

England a getting better and starting to gell together now.

Its already been leaked Trippier RWB and Saka LWB with a back 3

I can’t wait for the halftime multi ball.

first few games i was up for this Euro's with England the buzz I did have has totally been drained out of me. you'll get people like "oh some supporter you are" but if that's the case yeah I would support England in any Sport because that's basically implying "it doesn't matter what you are watching, just support your country" and I think that's total bs like I don't watch Cricket or Rugby I watch Football because I like it thus I'm simply depressed with watching absolute cr ap year after year hoping just maybe we actually play some decent stuff but it's disappointment every single time!

Why not drop the slow centre forward who only (sort of) works in a system geared to his limitations?

Assistant coaches also have a certain amount of influence in the managers selection. Not entirely the managers fault.

Seems we forgot Trent start in games before.

Macca and Burley look like freaggin clones of each other

I love Maca’s starting 11!!! That would be such an exciting team!!!

Betting against Switzerland in penalties is kinda criminal😂

Hard work beats talent. Switzerland beats England

Is rice really the man 🫣 Since he’s move to Arsenal he believes he is drop him He runs around confusing the defense far too busy trying to be the main man

the only change is Konsa for Guehi. The other 10 will remain the same, he’ll just shift Trippier to RWB, Saka to LWB and play a back 3. For Southgate, that’s taking a risk.

Now that Germany is out, France is now the strongest out of all the remaining teams in this competition. Spain 2nd strongest, Netherlands 3rd strongest and Switzerland the 4th strongest.

Saka hasn’t don’t it at the highest level. Why this hate. Why lie m. Did I imagine his 28 GA for England? his goal in the CL? His goal against Bayern?

I would go Mid/high press 343, Pickford Walker, stones and Konsa; Trent , Rice,Bellingham Shaw Saka and foden Kane That way England could attack in a 343 and defend in a 442. It wouls have walker covering for trent. Bellingham as a 8, so foden can cut inside and allow shaw to make overlaps. Even though is a 3 cbs it would be good to keep possesion, just look at how Pep have organized city in the past, at times with 4 cb. Of course this is southgate, so if he plays 343 I wouldnt be to help keep possesion, it would focus on giving the ball away and defend. Its all about behaviour not formation necessarily. IMO, behaviour and the message southgate sends to the field are the main issue

The title should be England preview. They have not talked about Switzerland at all. Frustrating

Can't wait for their expensive summer holidays before the pre season tours and the 2024-25 season starts..

There are no goals. This championship will be remembered for the fact that no game was scored 7+. Bookmakers have ruined football. Even before, almost all games were fixed, in many games there were few goals, but in each game there were 20 to 30 chances in the penalty area, and now many bet on shots, so in many games there are no more than three shots on goal in the first half. .. halftime.

Let’s Go Swiss

Saka been the most important player for England is the one assist Bellingham on paper both teams are match England would definitely be a close game

Changing to 352/343 against a team already drilled on 343 is going to be suicide.

Italy created diddly squat. Let's see what we can do.

I think the formation change means England will win.

Put saka as goal keeper

The last German team left.

I would like to see a coach in professional football that actually doesnt behave like a player on the field whenever his team scores a goal. You are a mature manager and we dont want to see you jumping up and down. These coaches should learn and take a note from the professional hockey coaches where they always look serious and they only celebrate with the team once they win the whole tournament. They leave those individual goal celebrations for the players.

Reading the comments you every fan from England wants their player to play, but then Arsenal/City fans get upset if we talk about dropping Saka/Foden. And that's exactly what keeps Gareth Southgate up at night 😂😂

English like: "The Swiss are the better Team but we will anyway, cause we won the World Cup... in 1966

England is on the right side of the bracket No escuses to reach final

Palmer needs to start

Foden shouldn't be anywhere near the team. Everyone keeps hyping him up, and he won't do anything again as he's done all his time for England.

Play foden as no:10 and sub Bellingham, foden will do much better in AM than Bellingham

Come on Harry kane it's time now to reach finals and win it,it's criminal that you didn't win trophies up to now.

DA MOB FEAT. JOCELYN BROWN. IT, S ALL GOOD!!!

Oh yeah please put Trent on as right full back. Vargas will cook him. lol

A scotsman would say that we know they hate us Switzerland they haven't played any good team yet. We will win 2/0

Saka will miss the penalty in the shootout

Maca and Burley are clueless. That line up Maca picked would get swamped. Trent is not the only defensive liability. So is Stones when he is facing his own goal. They cant play next to each other. Either go with the back 3 with Trent and Saka at wingback or go with Trippier at right back. Walker is a poor to average user of the ball. There is no way he should be inverting at left back. If you don't use wingbacks then go Gomez at left back or risk Shaw. Our left side has been our biggest problem. And for God's sake if you want to win this thing drop the golden boy Foden. You can't play with 3 no.10s and he is the least productive of the 3

I’m with Klansman 100%… why can’t we play with a 352 formation with Saka on the left Trent on the right and Kane upfront with Ivan Tony. Kane‘s gonna drop back into the midfield so most of the time it’s gonna be a 361. Let’s be honest, but I think Kane needs a partner and a target man and Tony is really good at keeping the ball just like Kane , he looks so good when he came on

no one will know who's going to win between England and Switzerland Saturday but God- both tame paly hard to beat one but seems to me 3-3 Switzerland maybe win On- penalties kick.

I believe england will win just

Southgate is out of his depth! After 4 attempts his selections & tactics aren't working and he is now desperate to get a functional team to play the Swiss. Whichever way he shuffles his team selection and tactical setup I cannot see him succeeding

imaybe england prove us wrong or maybe the last euros are on thier mind set

If England and Switzerland play as they have this tournament, there's no way England can win this. Personally, I hope the Swiss advance - it's enough to have one boring team in the semis, playing well below their paper-form (looking at you, France).

England should stick to what they've been doing,you are here to win a trophy not entertain people, I like Southgate's approach to this tournament, he learned so much and he is a very clever guy, the best man for the job, these analysis are way too elementary

Switzerland wil win calling it.

England winning the euros will be a crazy outcome.

Lucky lucky Swiss, they've got a free ticket to the semifinals.. They'll have absolute fun with Engl@nd

France VS England... What a great final... Even black beard will fall.asleep

What was the root cause this England starting 11 has not performed well? My observations are that 1) the England's midfielders in particular Foden and Saka need to run more and offer themselves as passing options all the time for the back line and each other so that the defenders don't have to pass side ways and backwards; 2) they need to think faster and pass the ball quicker and more often than dribble it, in particular Foden and Rice. Southgate is clueless if he cannot command his midfielders to do a better running and passing. Thus far in this tournament, Foden has been disappointing. He needs to forget about that he's the best player of the premier league; instead he needs to focus on playing proper and better football. He needs to run more and offer himself in the midfield as a passing option; he needs to improve the accuracy of his deliveries...the list goes on and on. Otherwise Foden will become another one of disappointing English football players who are hyped when they're young but never get better when they get older.

Southgate is desperate to congratulate Keir Starmer. England will be home by tomorrow evening.

England comin home can't wait for the noise to stop

yo forgot something can harry kane finnaly break the curse

England's playing 3 at the back not 4...

A match that was originally going to be England vs Italy has been cancelled and award England walkover to semifinals.

Why the experimenting nw,😮

I see no evidence of management?

Change to 2 strikers for more movement up front. Kane is anti productive and too static. Statistics have proven it. England are not good enough to « carry » dead weight Kane.

What did Craig just said? Saka didn’t do it at highest level? Who carried England the last 2-3 years, kane and saka.. stupid argument

Sweaty socks are just embarrassing.

I predict England will go through Switzerland will get chances and if they miss them England will score the only one they get

that possible starting xi is never happening

England will be in for a rude awakening. "England will win possesion game", not so sure about that either. Or he meant Switzerland will lead early, then i can see that lol

England need somebody to attack spaces.. saka had a bad tournament, foden and bellingham is not a runner.. Somebody with real pace and flair needs to play..
