Putting this in Charlton terms makes that Trippier choice so wrong.
Chris Solly was a fantastic RB for us. I think the 3 worst games I’ve ever seen him have were at LB. I remember he even got sent off he’d lost his head that much!
Im afraid the same will happen with Trippier. Quality RB, unproven LB being thrown in the deep end.
problem is that Trippier is a very reliable player and Southgate likes him (so do I lol) .. he also like Walker, so .. compromise .. though as said, why bring Chilwell and Shaw along ? .. perhaps this is a horses for courses approach .. we will see
It's coming home is such a brilliant football anthem. Get goosebumps whenever it's played during a tournament. Imagine it'll be back in the charts soon

Got no problem with Trippier starting. Offers a lot and has been good for England.
I just can’t see how he’s a better option than the LB who just won the Champions League and was a regular starter.
Maybe it’s genius, maybe it’s idiocy. I just think it’s a risk we didn’t need to take now and maybe something we should’ve tried leading up to the tournament.
Count the number of times Trippier cuts back onto his right foot to cross / pass the ball and the attack breaking down.
A left back needs to be able to run with the ball on the outside (ie, on his left foot not his right) & then cross on the run. It should be on page 1 of a coaching manual.

tbf Italy had all their players on the wrong side. Reason why they struggled to ever cross the ball. It did work for them against a side that looked exhausted after 20 minutes.

Just said the same thing, it'll be so easy to defend every overlapping run be makes.
Southgate must be the only person in the country not to have Grealish in his starting 11 . Stones and Minģs will have to be on their game against a decent Croatian forward line . Won't be a stroll in the park .
If you play two holding midfielders in Rice and Phillips then play two attacking full backs in Walker and Shaw to supplement Mount and Foden. The 19 year old LB of Croatia needs to be attacked down the flanks. I would imagine Croatia feels the same about the out of position Trippier. Kane and Sterling need to be fed.

Sterling gets in because he is experienced and we hope he finds his form instead of Sancho who was in good form but doesn't make the 23.
Unlike every single CL member so many of this young squad don't have baggage.
Let's hope they don't accumulate any in the next 3 matches.

Embarrassing
One of the first times we’ve seen Mount and Foden together which should be fun.

The most exciting set of attacking talent that we've had for years and he decides to channel his inner Lee Bowyer!
Today would be a good day to reverse those stats
