Re: EURO 2016

Since Walker and Rose both act like wingers at times, why not just play Vardy, Kane, and Sturridge/Rashford as the front 3 in a 433? Maybe I've been playing too much FIFA 16... Not sure I'd try that against Bales. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk Sterling and Lallana don't exactly provide much d...

I heartily recommend Narcos, a series based on Pablo Escobar and the Colombian drug trade.

Peaky Blinders is very good too.

Re: EURO 2016

England v Turkey on now and an interesting lineup:

Hart

Walker, Cahill, Stones, Rose

Wilshere, Dier, Alli

Sterling, Kane, Vardy

So that's quite a balanced looking 433 formation with lots of pace, energy, and quality.

I don't see how we fit those players in properly to balance the side out. Sterling best role for me is in the tip of the diamond but that's where I also think Lallana has to fit and Rooney. I don't see Townsend fitting in CM and I don't see Sturridge playing there either. My concern isn't that I th...

Yet more over-the-top negativity. Cahill is better than you're making out. You mention "spark" yet you've left out Sturridge, Sterling, Townsend, Lallana, and Rashford. You also talk about balance and these would help bring that. And of course you have "lingering concerns": you're an England fan, it...
