    We played 3 out and out attackers against Germany, pace either side of Kane. Mount plays instead of saka today either on the right or in behind, both of which makes us weaker imo. I like Mount but he's been ineffective this tournament.

    Exactly it's not as if we don't have more pace on the bench
    Run them ragged from the start
    The faster the old Italian defence get tired the longer we have to exploit it

    It is not a good look imo, 3 centre backs to look after immobile= geez louise and if the less pacy Mount(Saka/Sancho) is on the right then who picks up Jorginho?
    Dont let him run the show

    Eng have more playmakers on the bench than on the pitch

    Most of the pundits on TV are saying they are not the best side to combat pace, so Southgate drops Saka and goes with Trippier, one hell of a call, lets hope it turns out to be a good a call as the Germany game.

    I honestly can't fathom it. Dont get me wrong, if it works I'll stand corrected and hail Southgate a genius. But I don't think it will

    I hope we don't go one down and as the clock ticks away sling the likes of Saka and Grealish on to try and rescue the game, I'd have preferred to be at Italy from the off.

    We are City fans. We should be used to this. Never mind the opposition worrying about us, let us worry more about them

    Proper shithouse job so far. Early goal then defend. We've hardly had 3 passes together since the goal

    Excellent defending from the whole team. We need to close them down a bit quicker

    The change after the goal was ridiculous. We weren't as good as we were first half but we were still largely restricting them of space and forcing tjem to play sideways most of the time. As soon as the change happened they had acres
