Great take! Southgate won’t drop Kane, but a Watkins sub could be crucial. Also, as @JLA said, a Foden > Gordon sub could be key to get another player on the field to run the channels. I think even Shaw > Gordon if we’re chasing late on could work… gut feeling this is Gordon’s game to shine🎉

@207rb 25 күн бұрын

Thought of your video in the first half and was thinking how Southgate absolutely nailed the formation decision for that first.half. but on reflection i dont think the formation is that important, often when one side advances the other holds back. when we are pressed on the right, its up to the left side to provide an outlet if we gain possession. We have to avoid getting pressed back on both flanks simultaneously. also we often havent looked dangerous even when the opponent is pinned down in their box. perhaps for that reason kane will start.

@thenoodlebuddy 25 күн бұрын

Very informative vid thank you. Oir weakest link is Harry Kane, and Spain know it. Like you say though Southgate wont bench him and i think this will be why we go down 1 or 2 nil in the first half. If Southgate isnt spineless then he will take Kane off at half time to bring Watkins on, however it may be too late and the momentum against us. If were lucky though and Watkins gets given enough time (i.em more than 9mins) i think we'd havea good chance. So I reckon spain winning 1 nil at half time, due wasted crosses from us as Kane wont be anywhere near it. Then Watkins on in the 70th minute, and England equalise 1-1 by the 77th minute. Then England win in Extra time 🤞

3-5-2. Kane and Watkins up top. Drop Bellingham.. Shaw LWB for an hour, bring on Trippier if we have a lead to protect, Gordon if we are chasing it. That also leaves Bellingham, Palmer and Toney to come on if we need. As you said, pace will be important against a Spain high line, with this formation we have Kane feeding Saka, Watkins and potentially Gordon.

I would start Kane because he still has that goal scoring ability, but would plan to sub him just after half time for Watkins. I just can’t see Southgate benching Kane plus I don’t see him as an impact sub. The fact he wants to drop deep when we have Jude, Foden and Mainoo that want to be in the same space is insane. Tell him to stick to the last CB and get into the box asap when we have the ball. Not drop deep and then walk towards the box with no urgency.

I think putting Watkins on as a sub forces teams to rethink the way they defend and makes him even more of a threat than if he was there from the start. Having Kane, who's captain and arguably the best finisher in the world to poach when necessary is strong. If he looks leggy around the 60 minute mark then put Watkins on and it'll confuse the Spanish centre backs.

I think at this point, even though it's a risk, you've got to play Shaw, the only left sided defender, gives added balance and also has started to convince with his fitness in parts of games. It's now or never. Gordon could be an option for later in the game, but I worry about him in a 1 v 1 with Yamal. Trippier is always a decent option and won't let you down, but I worry about the lack of pace that he has + him being on the wrong side against Yamal. So Shaw for me. Thanks for watching!

England were somehow placed in the easy group again, where they tied against Denmark and Slovenia and only beat Serbia by a single goal.Then they lucked out with a ninety fourth minute goal, V. Slovakia, in the last sixteen. Then by five pens to four V. Switzerland in the quarter final, and then by the softest penalty in the history of the Euros and the World cup combined, V. the Netherlands in the semi final, have dragged themselves into a final against a free flowing entertaining Spanish team which has won all its games comfortably, including defeating "the hosts" Germany and France. Unless there are more divine interventions from the Ref. and VAR, I cannot see this mediocre English team doing any better than they did in the last Euros.
