I’m not sure he’s started one. Even Southgate said that England will have to adopt a different approach with Trent starting in midfield.
Don’t get me wrong, I genuinely hope it works. It just seems a bit odd.

That Weghorst looks like some player. Man Utd should sign him 
Straws being clutched already?
If you consider it in the context of the manager’s comments, it just seems a little peculiar. He’s effectively conceded that England are trying something new.
I’m absolutely all for it. I just think the timing is odd.

He started there in the 3 nil win against Bosnia
He also started there in 2 other games for England
He also played him there before the World Cup - Southgate was one of the first to play in from the start in midfield

There we go, decision made, let’s just get behind the Team and hope it works, falling back on Club allegiances when it comes to England is childish.
Come on England.

We need Rice to be on top form to cover tonight. TAA will switch off. He can play worldy passes 100% but I just feel he tries one every time when it's not the right time.
I hope he proves me wrong. Works hard out of possession, keeps the shape and provides some beauties.
Come on England. Thrash em!

Right. Computer off. Feet up. One last thing...Alan Shearer already annoying!!!
Horrible, nasty jackets. I can almost see the static sparks coming off them already
Really like him as a pundit. Not so keen when he’s a co-commentator.

Well, that's a good start.
Do we have an English equivalent to the squirrel?

Every thing going down Englands right hand side - Saka combining well with Bellingham , TAA and Walker and look dangerous anytime they go down that side
Need to find a way to get that same width on the left but doesn’t help with Tripper not left footed and Foden drifting inside

Foden has been pretty anonymous so far. And Kane struggling to get into the game. Slightly disappointing that neither gambled when Walker got that earlier cross in.
Great to see Saka not cutting back onto his left foot. Really taking advantage of having the full back on toast. Rare to see in modern football, getting some great crosses in.
He’s having a really good game.

Early days but worry is a better side would look to shut down England's right, and push play over to the left

I guess that’s where it’s potentially a question of putting someone like Gordon in there and it’s what you do with Foden
