    Sky reporting that Tripper will be in for Saka and we'll be 5 at the back. I think that's a big mistake and will leave Kane isolated. Its overly defensive and will cost us.

    It's what we played against Germany and spanked them

    We didn't spank them, we edged it really. And I could see the rationale of matching them up tactically. I just don't see the thinking here. Their weak spot is a lack of pace at the back, and I don't see how this helps us exploit that.

    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 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

    I think it was said that no team had won 2 penalty shootouts in the Euros........................

    But that was before they get to play England.

    In our own back yard, so defensive,so negative

    so little seen of Kane and Sterling in their box

    The better players left on the bench
