And that’s 5 European Cups now for Ancelotti. 2 With Milan and 3 with Real.

Unmatched by any other manager. A man who knows the finer details and the midfield is the key.

Here he picks from those he has managed.

it depends how you play too, I mean our style yes midfield is key, and team that keeps the ball, midfield is key..

Those teams that just lump the ball forward after being on the defense all game? Nah.

Not going to be serial winners though playing that style. Jose did it with Inter.

Scotland beat Gibraltar 2-0 despite being without teenage sensation Ben Doak.

Usually don't watch England, but Trent as a right side double pivot is probably what Slot will want him to play.

Doak was said to have been distraught - and they found him stuck fast, between a rock and a hard place.

Boom boom.

Coat in hands 😜

Might work in tournament as Engerland have - yet again be drawn in a group they cannot fail to win.

As for tonight against the might of the Bosnian juggernaut - who lost to Slovakia and wait for it - the mighty Luxembourg 6:1 on aggregate in qualifying…. I think my cat could do a job in midfield.

WTF is a double pivot?
See Xg,False 9 etc. Maybe I'm just old.

If you play 4 2 3 1 then the 2 is the double pivot.
Why Southgate feels he needs to play such a defensive set up against Bosnia..fuck knows.
What a soporific half of football.
I think Slot intends to play 4 2 3 1 out of possession and then switch to a creative 4 3 3 when we have the ball, which will be most of the time, with Trent free to come inside creating 4 in midfield, or bomb down the wing.

Eze pretty good. All the hype the last few months about Olise and Eze, I think is well justified. However I think Eze is maybe the better of the two. He would certainly suit us. Reminds me a lot of Sadio Mane in his skill set, tenacity and dribbling.

Actually i wrote a bit of bollocks there. I don't see how we can switch to 4 2 3 1 if Trent is at right back.
