The back 5 is fine
The rice-phillips midfield in front is not
----------------------------------------------------------------------
If Phillips carries the ball and tries to break the lines like he did against Croatia it'll be alright. If he sits deep and occupies the same space as Rice like he did against the Jocks it won't.

This is the most defensive formation by England since the Battle of Britain, which some say ended in a draw

Yeah but we won after extra time
This is Southate's nadir
He's gone for his tried and trusted. Trippier, Sterling and two defensive DM's and matches up with the Germans with a back 3.
If it works, fair do's, he made a big call and it worked in a massive game. He made decent subs and finally beat the Germans in a tournament. a feat not achieved in decades.
Get it wrong and we lose the press will turn. He will have ignored our best young attacking and creative players and he will rightly be criticised.
For a myriad of reasons I fear the former. Not the team I expected. If he has to switch to a 4-2-3-1, because we are struggling, I for one will be pi$$ed off. Kroos given space and not much to do, up against Rice and Phillips, is something I don't like. Mount or Grealish as AM will give the German midfield a lot more to do. Southgate will be asking the wide forwards to press and work. Saka and Sterling can do this, but Kroos gets more of an opportunity to dictate the game.
This is your defining game Gareth. Has He got it right?
Unfortunately the defensive line up will also be compounded by Southgate not bringing on any subs until its too late.

Even if you're being optimistic and think Phillips is gonna do that, Bellingham is just better at that stuff

although not creating much of course, we had total control vs Croatia and we played a kind of 433/4141 with Phillips bit futher forward.
we have matched Germanys 5 at the back really, problem is now getting outnumbered in the middle but Kane is basically going to play as a 3rd DM isnt he

You're right, of course, but you've got to be positive
I do think he'd play Mount in this system if he hadnt been in iso
Because he is the best option for ball carrying from midfield to attack
Oh wait. You cannot mention WWII otherwise the FA is coming for you...

Game could go either way, genuinely a 50/50. Wouldn't be surprised to see the wheels fall off any tactical masterclass early and it end up a 5 goal thriller.
Hard to believe England will keep another clean sheet but also hard to believe Germany could manage a clean sheet at any time.
2-1 England is in my head today
