I can’t see just swapping Mainoo for Gallagher being enough to get the show back on the road. 

Rice and Mainoo walking about midfield whilst doing 5 yard passes sideways backwards.

Meanwhile Gallagher .... FFS

As I've said - drop Kane, play Bellingham up front an Foden off him. Play Palmer / Gorden on the left. 

As for Rice, he's clearly a fantastic player and cleans up A LOT in defence, but no he's not a creative player. Again I wouldn't be surprised if Arsenal put in a cheeky bid for him after the summer, with Rice singing his praises. He's the perfect foil. 

Dropping kane would be madness.  He always comes alive in the knockout rounds

We're just a one man team when he plays. I think the team would all step up and play better individually and contribute more if he wasn't there

To be honest, i just messaged my mate saying I'm glad it's on itv. 

Anyone other than Lineker,i spend more time with it on mute. Wish they'd sack him.

Dropping anyone who is not playing well, is never madness.

Hmmm coming round to this idea. Hes played false 9 at Madrid, would mean one less player congesting the number 10 role with Kane taken out.

But.. as bad as Kane has been Bellingham has been worse last two games, and Kane has the scoring record as well as captain. If we had to pick one to keep their place I think it would be Kane.

Love to get Southgates thoughts on why trying essentially the same approach again after three goes will work? I predict at halftime we will be saying no left side at all, congested in the middle and playing in front of Slovakian defenders, lack of runners beyond Kane...

Looking forward to being proven wrong.

with that line up im`e expecting more of the same pedestrian football,slovakia might not be much of a threat but switzerland,who looked very capable and very well organised will be

[AspRover]

See my previous posts on this thread for my thoughts re. Southgate desperately trying to recapture the last Euros at any cost, is Mainoo able to be Phillips, we have different players so we need different tactics, etc. etc. ad infinitum 

Honestly I'd be embarrassed about repeating myself but Southgate doesn't seem to be so 

 

 

1 or 2 nil, boring, backwards, neither team really posing a threat. The papers will then take a clean sheet knockout victory as a sign that everything is hunky dory and all these discontented fans are the real problem and need to get behind the boys etc. etc. ad infinitum

God I hope they prove me wrong. Even a little bit.

It's simply because he has no imagination. He can't see any other way of winning.

Today is the day Sir Gareth galvanises our misfiring misfits into an all-conquering football machine.  

Believe!

It’s about time we got a proper national anthem. That is awful

[TugaysMarlboro]

Well 5 minutes in and any decent side would be 2 up against us.

Load of rubbish again 

[Ianrally]

Trippier wtf. Then Dixon blaming the pitch. Get a grip. 

[wilsdenrover]

We’re making Slovakia look like Brazil.
