Hugh Jass Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 1 minute ago, st dan said: I’d start the same team on Wednesday I think, for me Sancho just gives us the spark that Saka doesn’t quite have yet, but I’d be happy with either. Wouldn’t mind Grealish starting ahead of Mount too, but that’s very unlikely. I think go same as. Southgate tends to go three at the back for the teams who pose more of a threat and four when we're expected to have more of the ball. I expect Wednesday to be the latter and realistically nobody from that side deserves dropping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superscally Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 IF you were Eriksen and I offered you the last pen in the final shootout, would you take it? If that scenario was feasibly safe, I want that to happen so bad! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sisco Posted July 5, 2021 Report Share Posted July 5, 2021 I’d be amazed if he played the same team. Denmark’s biggest attacking outlet is their wingback Maehle (spelling), there is no way in the world it’s be sensible to have Sancho covering him.

Are Denmark a good enough side to set up to nullify their strengths though? I wouldn’t have said so. Whilst it made sense against the Germans, I think the same side as Saturday would comfortably see them off. If anything, they should be the ones worrying about us, and not the other way round.

Pray for £500 its the result I want! Just had my final ticket through... Block 538 so up behind the goal... but second row so should be a perfect view of Harry lifting the trophy.

Exactly, we're at home, we'll be expected to dominate possession, we're better than them. This is one for our own game. That said, Southgate has earnt the right to put out whatever team he sees fit without question now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want to be sobering up/getting a hangover, or thinking that I fancy another beer during the game; and I don't really want to miss even a minute going to get one at half time.

Yeah my mate and I got a bit carried away before Scotland (we found ourselves in a pub with a load of Scottish fans) and got absolutely plastered beforehand, can't remember most of the match (although that's not necessarily a bad thing). For Germany we just had a couple of pints in the pub beforehand and a pint when we got inside, nothing heavier than that and it was much more enjoyable experience for it.

Bit worried this midweek could get a bit boozy. Though swerved my Sunday night alcohol allowance especially in preparation! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
