I like the line up (though arguably a place I’d change). England win

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!
TV Graphic has Saka on the right rather than left?
Trippier and Konsa down the left feels like an accident waiting to happen, Swiss need to be getting Embolo and Ndoye down that side constantly for the counters.

Oliver, Taylor and Orsato were probably the worst refs so far in the tournament, how do they deserve the QFs?
I think xhaka is underated. I seem to remember him being very highly thought of as a young player. Then he went to Arsenal. He's not lost any of his early talent, he's just got wiser.
Come on England
Come on England
Our national anthem suits Southgate’s football perfectly, both so bloody boring.
Four at the back, as expected.
Oliver was fine yesterday. I got no complaints about the refereeing. Even the portuguese media which are usually whiners about referees said that it was a solid performance.
So looks like Saka at rwb and Trippier at lwb ? 
So after all that its still Konsa for Guehe as the only change for England
It's the same team and the same formation ffs.
A switch to a back three made sense to get some more width which we’ve been sorely lacking — but if it’s Trippier still on the left, isn’t the same issue of him coming in onto his stronger foot a problem?
Except it's clear as day three..... Walker and Konsa are mega wide.
This is like playing Wan Bissaka at LB 
Was just coming to say that, after all the fuss about changes. This manager is really something else. Convinced Joe Biden would beat him in a cognitive test.
Saka seems to be playing as high as Kane. I see it as exactly the same formation England have played all tournament.
Of course but dumb dumb doesn't understand why everyone was calling for 3 at the back in the first place.
It looks like the same formation as before to me.
Throw them on and hope for the best
Bellingham and Foden both allergic to the box. You'd think one of them would venture inside the box.
Swiss just walk through Engeland's midfield.
Surely Stones should be the LCB here?
Xhaka is 100% going to score.
This is a really weird formation.
We might be in trouble here, sooner rather than later.
Is it 3 at the back but wing backs stupidly high?
Depends on the situation and whether you’re on the ball or not.
Good clearance Mainoo
Good tracking back by Mainoo
I started off a a 3-4-2-1 Christmas tree and quickly moved into pear shaped.
The truth is I don't think either of Trippier or Saka know what their specific roles are...
Yes and with a right footed LWB and a left footed RWB, with massive gaps at the back.
Mainoo is class. Love our wonderkid
Really like watching Mainoo play.
What formation are england playing here.
Compared to England, watching Switzerland move the ball/attack is like when I use the 1.2x forward button on my TV
Depends which minute of the game you’re watching
Swiss already getting the passing triangles going down England's left hand side.
5-4-1 in defence is clear as you could see throughout that whole Switzerland phase.... but attacking, who the hell knows?
There's joy on the flanks for the Swiss to exploit here
