TeaCider Well-known member Jun 20, 2021 #2 We're probably through even with a loss, and we'll very likely know whether 4 points is enough before we play given most groups play before us. We should go all out for the win, we could do with momentum being restarted.

We'd likely have to play France in Saint Petersburg if we finish 2nd and beat whoever we play in Copenhagen. I'd sooner play Germany at Wembley. At least we'll go down swinging if we lose.

If the goal is to reach the final, finishing first would be less of a challenge. We have to play a good team at some point, and I'd sooner do it at home.

T Teesside87 Well-known member Jun 20, 2021 #7 If he plays conservatively in this game, setting them up not to lose, then what is the point in getting to the tournament. Sooner or later the team will concede the first goal and wont know what to do, reminds me of a few boro teams

M Mwelolo Well-known member Jun 20, 2021 #8 What was the point in fielding a team not to be beaten by Scotland? Why Rashford as a central striker? Why not Calvert Lewin and then put a few high balls into the box?
