I'd drop Foden and Trippier for Palmer and Trent.

 

 Saka LWB and Trent RWB.

If Trippier plays then whomever plays forward of him on the left is doomed to struggle.

An over extension of loyalty to the older players going too far in playing them out of position to the detriment of the balance of the team.

His excuse is the absence of Shaw who always was a waste of a squad place due to his slow recovery from injury and lack of match time for ages.

I call it gross negligence.

Akanji would be our best defender for a start.

Stones Is a better defender he's just injury prone

Switzerland have a very good team and play well. I cannot see England winning this.

Well he's replaced the suspended CB with a CB, so I don't think he's changed anything.

[DE.]

Did anyone really, honestly expect any unenforced changes? Gareth has become everything he wasn't when he first started the job, now picking players on reputation and status rather than how well they're playing. We'll see how it works out for him.

Haven't heard anything about last night re England fans and zee German fans after the Hun went out?

[Gav]

Come on England.

Didn't used to like Micah Richards but he's grown on me even though it looks like he's got a head band on.

[matt83]

like was saying earlier team vs individuals. As a mirror image each of our players is better than theirs in that specific position. But….

[simongarnerisgod]

no changes apart from the enforced one.ffs grow a pair southgate

[Norbert Rassragr]

I've just gone to a pub with no TV. Since I have had a good night's sleep so I don't fancy watching the game.

Outfield maybe, Sommer way better than Pickford.

I'm worrying about Jordan today.

This Swiss side is going to test him way more than any game so far this tournament. 

Not sure he's up to it tbh, hopefully prove me wrong. 

[simongarnerisgod]

this is interesting,the swiss look a very real threat,can gareth find it in himself to adapt our tactics

Plus trippier left and saka right. Even the bbc graphic showed trippier right saka left. Nope Gareth thinks differently. Of course. Even though trippiers left foot is worse than mine. Can’t help himself. 

[simongarnerisgod]

bloody trippier so out of position he`s got kane behind him

[Gav]

Saka superb run, Kane trotting into the box…. Southgate can’t run for them.

[Darrenbot]

This has got a penalties finish look to it so far

[RTM08]

Improvement but still awful. Kane needs to be off for Toney ASAP
