HoylandOwl Posted December 4, 2022 Author Share Posted December 4, 2022 The thing is, it looked like only Maguire had the thought of trying to play through them.

Agreed. Did nothing wrong. As a team, aside from that first 30 mins when we just seemed nervy and not so confident, it was pretty easy. The game was won by our midfield.

mkowlthesexynewversion Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Clearly a very tough game but France won't be looking forward to playing England the same as we fear them a bit. Key for England play on the front foot and with tempo. As soon as we do we look so much better. And even tonight, game won for sure but the last 10 minutes by switching off they had chances, like they did in the first 30. The French defence isn't that good and Lloris is prone to errors. If we are passive then we will lose Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are passive then we will lose We will if we're passive yes, but if we go 4 it, we will leave space in behind and they are very quick. If I was them I'd put Mbappe upfront. Frighten life out of our 2 slow CBs. But thankfully don't think he will. Keep same team as tonight, make sure Saka helps out Walker and get Henderson to follow Griezmann and we have a chance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KrolMong Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 France are very beatable. The front four is very good. But, midfield, poor, full backs, poor, and not particularly organised. A lot of pressure on Walker and Shaw to deal with Mbappe and Dembele, but, the two France full backs are under even more pressure to deal with Foden and Rashford/Saka. If he goes 5-2-3, then he’s got to sacrifice Henderson and move Bellingham next to Rice. I would simply leave the team the same, and MAYBE swap Saka for Rashford, just because he’s a direct runner and will play between left back and left center back. IF, Bellingham and Foden have control of the game, we’ll win because I have confidence that we can shut down Mbappe with Walker. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd definitely keep Saka as he's better defensively than Rashford and will give Walker some protection. He'll need it.
