Mr Nice 2.0 Wrote: I'd not change much for the next game. We've a new midfield partnership in Trent and Rice, as well as a new Centre back partnership in Guehi and Stones. They'll need a little time to find a balance, build a partnership etc. The CB's are still dusting off a few cobwebs after long injury layouts as well. Hopefully, they all gel and cut down in the errors.
One thing i'd like to see Southgate do is is Toney and Watkins more off the bench. Kane has to start. The guy is a brilliant goal scorer. But, there are games, like on Saturday, where it just doesn't suit him. If thats the case get Watkins or Toney to add a bit of mobilty and an out ball later in games. The trouble is, Southgate likes Kane for set pieces so is reluctant to take him off (and, he made a crucial block late on to be fare).
I can understand trying to keep possession but just speed it up! The passing across the back is so slow - you know you are going to go to the side so do it instantly. And if they get the ball in the middle turn and start going forward and turn back if there isn’t a gap - don’t just stop and immediately look backwards.
