Southgate's squad is pretty negative, and it seems some English fans are not too thrilled about the team . A lot of attacking players left on the bench. Personally, I would've started Mount up top next to Kane and Sterling. Mount's pressing is top notch and could've caused the German backline some troubles. [Reply]

Hasn't Werner been horrible for Chelsea this year? [Reply]

In terms of goal scoring, yes. He had some serious issues and missed so many open easy goals. Really hope it was just down to it being his first season in a new country, covid, all that stuff and this upcoming season he improves a lot.
I like Werner a lot, think he brings a lot to the team besides goal scoring. His pace causes a lot of problems for teams. [Reply]

They have both been on the bench for every game. Baka has started the last two games and Foden started the two before. Sterling has started every game [Reply]

Jack Grealish deserves the spot over those two, but yes a very negative lineup against a team that’s been put on the ropes this tournament. Doesn’t make much sense. Would be funny to see Werner actually score a goal and piss all the Chelsea fans off that he waited til this game to score an actual big game goal. [Reply]
