Shaw was the best left back in the league last season, but Southgate wants to play a RB ahead of him?

I think the midfield and attack makes a lot of sense

But christ that defence is concerning

I don’t get it, chillwell would be my preferred choice but has done well this season too.

We have two of the best left backs in Europe in our squad. We have to use them!

You guys just don't understand tactics. Trippier is at left back because he will spend most of his time facing backwards playing the ball back to the keeper. If it was a left footed player playing backwards facing left back then they would be an inverted backwards facing left back and would just cause problems.

Most journos are briefing the same line up. I get why he’s gone with that if true.

Mings who was horrible in the two warm up games and Trippier at LB? What is the decision behind those? I understand the rest to a degree.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I’d have gone Chilwell instead, but he’ll have chosen Trippier due to the set pieces (which, to be fair, has worked well for him in the past).

Fair enough. That’s why Trents injury fecked us in more ways than most think.

Should have gone with Rory Delap

Mount has a good delivery on him for corners and Harry Kane will demand to take free kicks outside the box probably. Sigh.

I am unconvinced that the value trippier will add from set pieces is greater than the value Shaw would add from open play but I guess it's international football and Southgate is going back to the 2018 formula

I prefer the word boring….

Two left backs in the squad who have both been very good all season both playing in top 4 teams. Southgate picks a right footed right back to play there. Makes tons of sense.

There's a method to his madness tbf

No, he’ll want Walker to be up against Perisic.

It’s now how I would have gone but given Southgates previous choices, it’s understandable why he’s done it.

Exactly that.

I don’t like it as I hated the way we played in 2018 tbh!

How much would you pay for Robertson or Tierney right now?

I was just going to ask who he’ll be up against. You always have to look a little deeper than the face value when you’re dealing with these genius managers

Why Mings? White is clearly a superior defender. Both heading into their first ever tournaments. Chuck White in there!

posted on 13/6/21

It's strange that Southgate is playing two defenders out of position. Trippier who should be at right back, and Mings who should be on his couch in Birmingham.

It's all about the set piece goals - pens, free kicks and corners.

If there's one man who can find a way to make a young, energetic, attacking group of players boring, it's Southgate.

I think it's the fact that you'll have to "chuck" him in there that will worry Southgate

To go from never being called to to starting the first game of the euros in 2 weeks is a lot so again I see the logic

Though I would have done it anyway cus I think a scared shiiitless White would still be better than Mings

Yeah, it’s pretty deflating, isn’t it?

Southgate has kind of gone down the Garth Crooks Team of the Week approach with Trippier. He scored a goal against Croatia last time therefore he must be put in, even if it's at left back.
