I think Kane not staying high and not being able to make any runs is a huge problem that hasn't been address by Southgate and it could be theory undoing in this game.
@@jamess3408 Agreed in this system we don’t need the Striker dropping Deep, Toney or Watkins would be a better Option with maybe Kane and Gordan as a plan B in a 4-3-3 Holding for Kane to drop Deep and playing Gordan or Saka in behind.
Yes , agreed , but he will most likely put his loyalty to Kane above common sense and good tactics. He’s just not capable of making such a brave decision.
I think Kane’s bad performances has little to do with him and much more to do with Southgate. Are we forgetting how good Kane is. I do agree he should not be dropping that deep but Southgate is the manager he should be telling Kane to push up higher. I also agree that Kane doesn’t have the ability to make runs inbehind as well as he used to due to his age. But Kane is still a world class player, we need to involve his style more into our system. Having 2 wingbacks wich are on the wrong foot is ridicules in my opinion when u have such a good finisher like Kane. As it limits the amount of quality crosses we produce for Kane. So if I was Southgate I’d change the wingbacks to Lwb - Saka and rwb - Trent. And then Palmer for foden and then keep Kane in the team,
They will stick with their 9-1-0 formation. Never change a winning system! ☝️
Yeah, quite possibly😂
Thanks for watching mate!
7 defenders for England and hope for a bit of luck, that's essentially been GS philosophy in this tournament
I suppose you can’t knock something if it works🤷♂️😂
Hopefully it will work this time as well🙏
Thanks for watching mate!
Brilliant analysis. Not sure which was best your incredibly thorough analysis or the way you say Cidu Gakpo!
Sadly Gareth Southgate won't have watched it😢
Thank you! I really appreciate that!❤
I like the system a lot. I would just like to see Bellingham in the left channel and Foden in the right channel when attacking.
I would also drop Kane for Watkins who can give us some energy as well as movement in behind. I have no further patience for Harry Kane.
I don’t think he will make any changes. He may not even start Shaw. Southgate is about safety. Gordon hasn’t seen the pitch since his interview saying he’s a nightmare to play against.
I think you’re probably right about this, I think Guehi will come back in and Trippier will stay left wing back.
Hopefully it’s what sees England though and I’m not thinking what could have been😂
Thanks for watching!
Why Mainoo is being left out ? Like Saka he is fast, mobile & can dribble past 3-4 defenders...
Completely agree and I really didn’t want to leave him out, it was a case of him or Bellingham, whoever plays that CM role next to Rice.
I completely agree with what you’re saying and trust me, there have been so many iterations of this team with Mainoo in, just felt like Southgate wouldn’t leave Bellingham out regardless. I suppose Foden could be the change you make there and move Bellingham higher. But yeah, can’t have em all in I guess🤷♂️
Thanks for watching mate!
Nice analysis! As a Dutch I hope that England will not line up like the way you recommend. Looking forward to a great game of football!
Brilliant ideas, love it! Anyone got Southgate’s number so we can pass these tactics along? 😂
Great video, thanks.
Thanks a lot! Glad you liked it!
England will win
Yes! Love that optimism!
Thanks for watching mate!
Enjoyed the analysis! Has to be Gordon / Watkins / Saka up front for me though. I don't think Kane is adding enough right now, and Watkins will do more on and off the ball.
Very good argument well articulated. Of course you can't plan for those moments when Walker slips or if the Dutch play out of their skins. I like your confidence in John Stones, and I like the idea of playing Luke Shaw from the start rather than bringing him on; better to change a fitness risky player for a fit one than to bring on a fitness risky player. Luke Shaw needs more match fitness so the first half an hour in this game is better preparation for the final than giving him 45 minutes if the pressure is off. However news is out that Trippier is going to start so whatever system Gareth starts with he obviously knows something that the rest of us don't. The danger of playing Palmer with Trippier at left back is that he gets isolated and the team get lop-sided again. I think it is so important to have threat from both wings, and when you match up player for player because England are superior (on paper) you can risk playing a more open formation. Can't see Gareth doing this, but fair play to him if he does the job. It would be nice if we can win in the 90 minutes with no suspensions and no injuries too, but I guess I am asking for too much. Maybe it's a plan that he wants the players to get as much penalty experience as they can ;-)
Thank you! You’re absolutely right, there’s an element to this that just can’t be planned for, what that will be in this game we shall see but all we can do is that hope Gareth and the boys all put in a good performance to be proud of.
The Trippier news is unfortunate and without Shaw as that left sided cover, the left side will fall down a bit so I’d say Gordon should be there instead of Palmer.
As I say hopefully the boys pull it though in 90 but I have a feeling it’s not going to be as plain sailing as we all would like.
Thank you for your kind words and for watching my friend!
Congrats on the analysis of the Dutch tactical plan against Romania and (to a lesser extent) Turkey.
Big bravo, love the analysis ! 4231 is smarter this game
As usual, great analysis
Thanks a lot! Really appreciate it!
England to win 🎉
Its 50/50 tonight but whoever gets through loses to Spain
Dat denk ik ook. My thoughts as well.
I like some of your ideas in principle, the 3-2-4-1 shape in attack, but a few issues. I think the left side is still a problem for you. Cole Palmer doesnt play on the left and wants to receive the ball to feet and come into the middle. If Shaw isnt being used to provide width your back to the same issues as Southgates original set ups woth Foden there.
For all that Saka does well he doesnt actually make a lot of runs in behind from higher up the pitch (when Foden put that ball over the top to him for the straight run was relatively uncommon because he typically hugs the touchline). He's not right footed and his right foot crosses are actually not very good reliably, he can be more effective if driving along the byline and cutting it back. He really wants the ball much higher up where he can set up the defender to then come inside onto his left to shoot as he did for his last goal, which was classic Saka, or outside but driving into the box. This requires controlled possession.
I think Billingham is an 8 and should never have been pushed forward for England. It was a totally different situation at Real Madrid last year, but will be really interesting what Ancelotti does this season with Mbappe and Endric (sp?) coming in not to mention the Turkish kids progress. There's a lot more attacking tallent there now and with Kroos going and Modric playing fewer minutes there's less midfiled options.
At this point i think Mainoo is pretty undropable. He just wants the ball all the time and moves constantly to offer for it. The combination between him and Foden looks really promising, two players who want the ball all the time and want options and will take it and give it into tight spaces.
Having said Bellingham is an 8 I'd actually look at putting him through the middle at this point. Kane has looked unfit all tournament. I'd drop him for Gordon and put Bellingham through the centre in a 4-2-3-1 (Foden in the 10, Shaw for Trippier at LB). In possession Mainoo pushing forward as a second 10 basically, then depending on situation Shaw/Stones/Walker (although dont really want to see Walker in advanced positions at this point, hes been really poor in possesion this tournament, but i still cant bring myself to play TAA there) supporting either in the middle (stones) or on the flanks.
My more wildcard option would be 3-4-2-1/3-2-4-1. Gordon for Trippier, Wharton for Kane. Bellingham through the middle, Mainoo and Foden behind, Wharton alongside Rice, Gordon LM, Saka RM. Back 3 of Guehi, Stones, Walker/Konsa. A presence up top, pace and threat out wide, ability to play out from the back, box midfield options and ability to build and retain possession but also create. Loads of pressing high up, Rice can help defensively in the middle if defender needs to cover the flank whilst WBs get back (not expecting any of back three to advance really, They're more or less just there to defend) Mainoo can drop into midfield to help as well.
In reality if Southgate retains this formation Shaw would come in for Trippier, Kane starts and Mainoo stays alongside Rice. And we have the same problems of no one to get on the end of any final ball.
I really like your break down of this and agree with what you’ve raised. Regarding Mainoo, I agree, when creating this I’ve tried to align with players who I believe Southgate considers undroppable and tried to create a formation and setup around that, those players are Kane, Foden, Kane, Saka, Bellingham. Those non negotiables make it difficult to strike the correct balance that both you and I are looking for.
Love your ideas and thought process and hopefully England improve.
Thanks for watching mate!
I just don't think its realistic stones in midfield is just a little to radical for Southgate
It’s a bold one, for sure. Perhaps it is too radical I feel though with how high they play at times, and with how low the midfield 2 drop, it wouldn’t take a lot for Southgate to just push Stones a bit higher but hey🤷♂️
Hopefully he does the right thing🤞
Thanks for watching mate!
Free Watkins….
He’s got to get some minutes, shocked that he hasn’t. He’d run the channels and be a handful, perhaps now is his time.
Thanks for watching mate!
All depends on what Southgate does because before I was set on the back 3 but idk now but I really feel we need runners in behind
Agreed, I too was really happy with the 3, I thought there were some aspects of it that really worked for us.
But against a better side, with more attacking threat and a higher ability to recycle the ball I fear we’re going to get found out.
I hope I’m wrong though.
Thanks for watching!
When you said back 4 I literally felt quite sick😮
It’s a big change especially after their best performance of the tournament with the 3, but as I’ve said I think it might be the best way forward in this game.
Thanks for watching!
Completely agree about playing back 4 wish he played Gordon but can't see it for this game I just can't see him playing Bellingham cm so issue will b foden left wing and no runners
I think you’re spot on with Bellingham, unfortunately I can’t see him playing there, and Foden has always been an issue at LW. Might play the 3 at the back, but for the issues I’ve mentioned, I think there’s a problem there.
Thanks for watching mate!
@ZekkoFootball completely agree about 3 at the back need saka high and wide I hope shaw starts as that would make such a difference
Just having one left footer will make a huge difference, likewise in the first FIVE GAMES (GRRRR) playing Trippier and Gordon would've been decent enough.
We have a harry and Palmer , Hopefully not Harry Palmer , a funeral in Berlin, but Gareth Southgate the billion dollar brain 😂😂 not a lot of people know that🤔🙊🙈🙉🤔🦁🦁🦁
The billion dollar brain😂 love it.
Thanks for watching mate!
I think it’s absolutely crazy that people are so desperately wanting Kane out. Before this tournament on paper he is 1 of the BEST STRIKERS IN EUROPE. You need star players like him TO WIN TOURNAMENTS there is 0 chance we would win with out him, Star players like Kane, Bellingham,Saka are what win games, just look at the Bellingham goal and then kanes ,they wasn’t playing that well but at the end of the day these sort of players will have those MAJICAL MOMMENTS and you need that. I also think that it’s partly the SYSTEM that doesn’t suit Kane’s play style. we need GOOD crosses in the box for Kane, and having 2 WRONG footed players on the wings means he gets LIMITED GOOD CROSES so ofc he’s not gonna be scoring as much.
Has Gordon been left on the sidelines after expressing his opinions after the game? He should be getting more minutes. Arsenal fan before anybody starts.
Honestly, I completely agree with you, Gordon should absolutely get some minutes, I thought he would have been miles ahead of Eze going into the tournament but apparently not🤷♂️
Thanks for watching mate!
Forget tactics, forget opponents England are so good they can win despite Netherlands or Southgate.😀
I love your optimism and hope that you’re right!
Thanks for watching mate!
Malen is likely to start for the netherlands instead of Bergwijn
according to dutch media
Kobbie maino and Declan rice are due a goal and so is Bellingham and kane, so is Ivan Toney, Netherlands will have their work cut out for them ,
I really hope you’re right😂
Thanks for watching mate!
Why palmer instead of gordon?
So I think both are quality, and in the earlier games I called for Gordon, but considering that he’s played around 3 minutes this tournament I think it would be unlikely to ask him to start. Plus Palmers left foot means that he doesn’t need to cut back inside and slow the play down.
It’s honestly a 50/50 for me, I’ve just seen more of Palmer at this euros.
Thanks for watching!
Leave Mainoo out simply in order to get Palmer in?
I don’t think so. And besides which, Palmer is much better utilised as an impact player.
If you really want Southgate to be brave let’s see him play Kane for 55-60 minutes to soften up the Dutch defence and then swap him out for either Wadkins or Toney.
Games like these are not ultimately about formation or even players anyway. They’re about attitude and execution. If England go into the game with positive mindset and move the ball more quickly then they’ll win; if they don’t then we’re in for another long game.
It’s a good thing that there’s only one man picking the team ( and a million disagreeing if we lose 😂 ).
Playing it safe in semi's is the way. Playing aggressive good football is no longer an option imo, that ship sailed after the RO16.
How about putting Ollie Watkins where you want put Palmer or Gordon?
I think it’s a really good shout, he can run channels, has the strength to fend off Van Dijk when he covers, could be a really good call.
Thanks for watching mate!
@@ZekkoFootball I think I was right about starting Watkins
Did you not see how poorly we were going forward when we played with a back 4? we made, not a major improvement but a step in the right direction. I have to disagree, we have the better players, and Sake and Shaw as wing backs, with Guehi, Stones and Walker as our 3 centre backs, have the pace and experience, and quality to handle Holland. playing with 2 no.10's in a boc midfield, foden playing on the right side in front of Mainoo and alonside Saka will be magic. We just need one of our 10's preferably Foden imo, staying on the centre line when we are without the ball, allow Harry Kane to come deep, he has an unbelievable passing range and lacks the pace Foden has to make a meaningful counter attack
Would work if you swap Bellingham and FODEN
That’s an interesting move, that would also require playing Foden deeper next to Rice at times though, you think that’s possible?
Thanks for watching!
@@ZekkoFootball would require mainoo over palmer. Guardiolas box midfield in possession. Stones, rice, mainoo and FODEN. FODEN has the Gascoigne ability to run through the middle with the ball and break lines. Bellingham can come inside on his stronger left and has less defensive work so can support KANE and get inside the box as often as possible, particualrly when KANE is drifting. Creates better balance with left footer and right footed players in correct areas.
Pickford
Walker
Stones
Guehi
Shaw
Mainoo
Rice
Foden
Saka
Kane
Bellingham
Appears Southgate agreed, other than Shaw who would have played had he been fully fit. FODEN and Bellingham swapped so to cut in on their preferred feet and FODEN can play more freely, coming deep and getting forward centrally in a box midfield. Good first half with intent and purpose with the ball. Decent shape without it... Keeping gakpo quiet
I think we should win this Netherland will comfortably beat England.
Yeah. Like it. Stones moving into midfield is a very good move.
Glad you think so😊, thanks for watching!
He's not good to drop Manio imo
Yeah, the Mainoo call is one I’m not happy with but it was the only way I kept Bellingham, Foden and had a winger on the left.
Thanks for watching!
you want to drop mainoo? the best player for England all tournament? better to drop kane and foden for watkins and palmer at half time if nothings happening.
Southgate to implement your complex tactical plan in 24hr? Nah. 3-1 to the Netherlands
get Shaw in the lineup and take Foden out
England need to play a Holding 4-3-3 with Gordan and Saka Getting in behind on the wings. This could be the first Game Kane will actually Benefit by dropping deep and playing the runners in behind.
Yeah. I think you’ve got a really good shout there, Kane being able to pick up the ball and spin to bring the wingers into play could be vital.
Thanks for watching!
@@ZekkoFootballyea if I was manager, I would start Toney with your tactics instead of Kane to begin with and then possibly go to my Holding 4-3-3 with Kane on for Toney and some fast impact sub wingers (Eze, Gordan or Saka) to stay high and wide and to get in behind.
well it took some very sketchy arbiter decisions but they defeated the Netherlands.. they'll need more than 2 refs like this to beat Spain though.. good luck to make that happen..
They should start Palmer instead of foden, he has nothing in the tournament
A lot of things wrong with this video so let's go through it.
3 vs 4 at the back. Your analysis of England playing a 3 shows, quite categorically, that if a team defends without moving, the opposition will score. This is essentially true of any system. In your example Dumfries has the ball on the Dutch right. But in that case the entire team shifts across - Walker takes Memphis and Stones covers Bergwijn, leaving Guehi free to support Shaw. Very easy. Also, it's kind of basic maths that if you defend with 1 extra man at the back, and few teams will not want at least 1 extra player if the opposition is in the final third, the opponents will have a free man. Like duh! That's as true for a 4-1-2-3/4-2-3-1 as for a 3-4-2-1 What your further analysis leaves out is that England during this tournament have proven to be most vulnerable against teams that play with 2 high wide men and also have the ability to switch the play quickly. Well this is precisely what the Netherlands are particularly good at. The reason for playing a 3 here is to avoid the defensive line getting stretched against this tactic. You can draw it up on paper as much as you like that this is not a problem but practical play during the last few matches proves otherwise.
Now to your 4-2-3-1. First of all, repeat after me: "Jude is not a 6". I watched him playing in this role at Dortmund and he was completely wasted. All of his best performances came when he moved up into an 8/10 role and it was no accident that people suddenly started recognising his real potential when he was used in a much more offensive role in Madrid. But take that away and this is more or less the 4-1-2-3 I myself have suggested in previous rounds. I prefer Gordon at LW in this structure but that is not the real issue. What really matters is that this was available to England in many previous games where it was more suitable. Gareth didn't even try it when going behind, where it makes even more sense. Let's just be honest here and understand that this set-up is just too risky for the current management.
My suggestion for a team against the Netherlands is a much more radical attempt to get the most out of this extremely strong and deep England squad. First of all I recognise the points made about having key players on at the end, particularly penalty takers. So my starting 10 outfielders are:-
watkins
gordon-foden
shaw-rice-mainoo-TAA
guehi-stone-walker
Orders go to Watkins and Foden that they will be subbed off after 55-60 mins so they should play as close to 100% as they can. Without Jude on the pitch, Foden gets a bit of extra freedom. Gordon should look for runs in behind when PF or Trent get on the ball and also for 1v1s when the play comes down the left. The system is solid but still carries some threat.
After 55-60mins, Kane and Jude come on for Ollie and Phil. Shaw will surely need to come off - if England are ahead at that time, on comes Trippier (or Gomez but I agree that is unlikely now) and Saka replaces Gordon; if not then Saka is the man for the WB spot and Palmer can come on for Mainoo. If still needing a goal late on, Toney coming for Walker is about as attacking a line-up as England can field without losing shape completely. If defending a lead late on, an easy substitution to close up is to bring on a CB for Trent to help against the threat of Weghorst. Any of these scenarios still leave England well placed if the game does move into Extra Time - if they equalised, Palmer comes on for Mainoo, Trent moves to 6 and Saka to WB (pens: HK, JB, CP, BS, TAA). If we did then Toney comes on for Gordon (if we scored early enough) or we bring a defender for balance (if Walker had to go off) (pens: HK, JB, IT, CP, BS; TAA for #6). It's hardly a tactical masterstroke but I do think it comes close to maximising the potential of the whole squad within the confines of what Gareth has shown to be willing to work with. I humbly suggest that your team neither maximises potential (for this specific game, it's not a bad team in isolation) nor is it within Gareth's risk bounds for a massively important game.
Drop Kane Do it! Southgate but he just won't! Long as Dutch Defense can see Kane in front he is no threat at all! You need pace in behind only Watkins and Toney can provide that. Arnold should play and Palmer can play killer passes and get England playing forward faster..Saka on the right. 5 3 2:in possession reverting to 3 5 2 when we attack to pin Hollands fullbacks in! Foden must float behind Attack dragging his marker away to create space for Bellingham and Rice. England will be cautious and defensive and look to win turnovers high up or in Hollands half. Come On England Dare to Dream! 🏴🏴🏴Tactics pace right 11 and bravery to pick them off! Van Dijk hates pace so play Watkins he can beat him all day! But Kane starts we know this
stop saying hakpo, it's not a Dutch name, it's ghanaian so the real tricky is the kp part of the word, it's not a Dutch G.
Youre asking John Stones to be John Stones AND Mainoo. Hmmm. He loves playing like an mf, but only on his terms rather than than it being his responsibility. Great analysis but can't you undefault the American spelling?
Don't play kane or foden
Hope Netherlands win 🇳🇱🇳🇱
I’m gonna have to politely disagree with you on that😂
Hoping for a fantastic match though! And hopefully the best team wins👍
