Which is why I've been totally bemused that Southgate has apparently thought twice that he needs two goalkeepers to cover for Pickford but only Rashford as cover for Kane. Now it makes sense more. If England end up behind though and Denmark are sitting deep and soaking up pressure, it's not exactly going to look very clever having Calvert-Lewin sat in the stands either. I think there are more scenarios where you're likely to put him on than say, both James and Trippier, but you've got to leave someone out.

No I still think it's a good idea to have a backup just in case Kane does get injured, so we still have a striker to use for the remainder of the semi final - which I'd imagine would give us the best chance of still making it through to the final in the event of something very bad happening to our best player & captain?

Michael Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 I am not too critical of the England starting line-up, I mean we can potentially make 6 substitutions, so Southgate has loads of choices to change things up if he sees fit. England should win, Denmark are a fit team who will defend in numbers and look to counter attack to hit England on the break. But it's up to the England lads to take the chances that they create and there will be chances. I am feeling pretty confident, whilst still giving the Danes the respect they deserve.
Spike Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 England should win, infact I would be surprised if it isn't 2-0 but it'd be typical Denmark to win a tournament when their best player had a heart attack, just like how they won a tournament they didn't even qualify for.

Dave Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Suddenly I'm a bit nervous. The occasion has hit me. I was born in 1990 and my Dad was 30 then whilst my mum was seven months pregnant. History has full on repeated itself with semi finals.

Michael Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 A very positive start from England, they just need to keep this up and hopefully the goals will come.
Dr. Gonzo Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Rice and Phillips need to protect the ball a bit better
Redcanuck Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Just got in, what's the first 20 minutes been like?

Danny Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Feels like we’ve got the tactics wrong, we can’t beat their press and we can’t play in behind them
Danny Posted July 7, 2021 Posted July 7, 2021 Can’t say they don’t deserve to be leading, beautiful strike and been the better team
