Basically our B team as don't want to pick up yellows for my best X1. Not direspecting Ukraine, this is still a bloody good side. Only problem I have is not continueing with a winning side. I am split on this, but this side is good enough and would be nice for them to get a game under their belt.

I thought I heard that too to be honest - but what do I know apart from Jack ?

Listening to TalkSport all morning where they've discussed it again earlier so I guess they must carry over


I think yellows are wiped after the QFs. Picking up on some points:-

1) stick with a winning team - too rigid. Of course GS is going to have to respond to things such as the strengths of the opposition, yellow cards to key players, form, tactics etc.
2) don’t underestimate the opposition like France / Netherlands - I don’t recall either France or Netherlands making too many changes to their first choice 11. At this level any result is possible regardless of the team picked.
3) OPs suggested team - imho way too many changes here

I mean, no.....

you play the best 11 you have to give you the best chance to win a knockout game, in which there are no second chances.

if those on yellows get booked and miss a semi final, those that come in will be focused ready and fit, to play out of their skins to ensure they are undroppable for a final!

We’ll be good again... one day

Noooooo

Maybe swap out those that have a yellow card so that they will be available in the semi.

If things are going well then make use of the subs.

This is England, we do have the potential to make a complete cock-up of this.


Disagree, Phillips and Rice have been two of our best players. Taking both of those out to save them for a game we might not even play is silly.

Poll: An interesting day for our politicians, but which one is worse?

Play with the same team as the Germany game albeit a couple of changes (going back to a back 4) if those on a yellow pick up a second then so be it. Would rather the 4 (Maguire, Rice, Philips and Foden) miss the semi if they are all to play as we could bring in Mings, Henderson, Bellingham and Saka/Sancho to cover those positions which would be just as good. If they dont pick up a yellow in the quarter final then the slate is wiped clean anyway so the only way they would be banned from the final is if any of them picked up a red

Yellow cards only affect four players - Maguire, Phillips, Rice and Foden - as they get wiped after the game.

Saka in our B team? Not sure sure what games you've been watching.

Would write Shevchenko's team talk for him.

Ukraine are decent. I watched them several times in the U21 tournament a couple of years ago. Not sure how many have progressed but they looked very good.

We'd be laughed at around Europe if we don't play the first 11.

Truly impaired.

Can’t believe you’ve all bitten!


This is obviously the difference between you lot and myself. I have said, before a ball was kicked, that England were going to win the tournament. I believe that this squad is as good as anyones and as such I believe that what ever side we put out, we will win. I said that I wasn't underestimating Ukraine, but believe that that side is good enough to win. I also said I was in 2 minds as to breaking up a winning side. I am not picking the starting X1, as are neither of you lot, so no need for the bed wetting
ENGLAND ARE GOING TO WIN THE TOURNAMENT, regardless of who we play or play. Sit back Ladies and Gentlemen, relax and enjoy.

Finally someone talking some sense, great selection

Well done for taking a leaf of Stuart Pearce's book and benching all our stars to keep them hungry!

It's this kind of maverick thinking which will keep us fresh for the latter stages

Whoever it was that posted "satire" in the "England appreciation" thread should have added "and irony" ;)

I'm hardly a specialist when it comes to football tactics, but even I know a bumdinger when I see one like this thread's OP (post not poster)
