nta786 Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 I figure we take our minds off the whole Koeman saga and watch the 3 Lions However, no Saints players out of the possible 4 starting Bertrand isn't even on the bench :/ England start with the 442 diamond, Rooney, Vardy and Kane forming that front 3. I'm going to go for a 1-1 prediction I'd love a Fonte goal ngl haha, when he comes on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Convict Colony Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Hasn't Betrand got a slight calf strain or something ? Think this will be the game where someone gets a tournament endingin injury, thats what usually happens or we get smashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbal Kint Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Rooney, Vardy, Kane and Alli. So three strikers and a number 10, or potentially 2 strikers and 2 number 10s. Either way it doesn't fit. Why is he so afraid to put team before individuals? I always thought it'd be good to have better players on the bench. That side just looks a mess. If he's playing a diamond then he's getting close to our best team IMO. We don't have any good wide players at all so I'd rather we play the diamond in midfield, Dier at the base, Alli at 10, Kane and Vardy as central strikers. Playing our best players in their best positions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iansums Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Looks like the starting line-up to me although I am surprised at Milner, would have thought he would gave gone for Wilshire or even Henderson. Will be interesting to see if Rooney or Alli plays at the top of the diamond or whether they interchange. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Verbal Kint Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 A diamond that sacrifices the partnership Alli and Kane have excelled in all season? If Alli plays at the front of the diamond then i don't see how it's sacrificed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

St Lej Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Hodgson is probably the most clueless manager we've had for a while. On a par with McLaren in my eyes, just no idea and clearly not a very strong personality so just does what he can to keep his "big" name stalwarts happy. Can you honestly see Rooney etc having any fear or respect of that old duffer when he's played under the likes of Sir Alex? He should have gone after the World Cup surrender. Honestly can't stand watching England with him in charge. A good Yes man for the FA though, which is the main thing..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tpbury Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Daft challenge but friendlies are about practice aren't they, so how do red cards benefit anyone? Always thought in this situation you should punish the player, automatic sub and ban but keep it 11 v 11. Nice idea, but could turn to carnage if there was a needle in the match. Which there isn't here. Well done to Kane, hardly needed to make a meal of what was a Golbern style challenge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

S-Clarke Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Just looks so disjointed, everyone shoe-horned into unnatural positions. He's somehow making Vardy and Kane totally ineffective.

Chris27687 Posted 2 June, 2016 Share Posted 2 June, 2016 Red card in a friendly - amazing scenes. They really should allow Portugal to bring a player on for the second half - otherwise it's just going to be embarrassing when we can't score against 10 men.
