I was crying out for Grealish to start, and he did really well when he came on, but he has an abundance of top young exciting midfielders, so I'm not sure who he'd leave out...Sako had a good 1st half too, after his last game, so he had to stick with him...and Sterling was our best player...

jjkopite Posted June 30, 2021 Share Posted June 30, 2021 He plays a back five with 2 holding midfielders leaving nobody to run past the front men to create any opportunities so I think we are doing well despite his tactics, not because of them!

Not a great open game tonight, but good result against our old enemies...and another clean sheet! Having watched Ukraine v Sweden, we shouldn't worry about the quarter final... The quarterfinals revealed some surprises, which makes me think that it is very difficult to make predictions I would see a final Italy against England but it could just as well be Switzerland against Denmark 😁 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surely against the Ukrainians he'll revert back to a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Grealish starting... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the end of the day you can't knock Gareth because it worked...He must start on Saturday though... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
