FANS POST MATCH REACTIONS AHEAD OF ENGLAND AND CROATIA CLASH

These are football fans reactions ahead of the tie between England and Croatia.

It’s guna be well hot in London today, so you’d imagine the match is going to be energy sapping and largely cagey. With that in mind I’d start with Foden and Grealish and then bring on Sterling/Rashford in the 2nd half to use their pace against Croatia’s tired defence #ThreeLions......That's backwards. He'll start with the safe choices then bring on the dangerous ones if it's all going wrong. Anyone who thinks Southgate is going to start flair players all together hasn't been paying attention to who he is.

Lots calling for Grealish/Foden/Mount all to start. These players need space to thrive. Space created by people pushing the opposition back line backwards, runners like Rashford/Sterling. So for the "form" players to thrive, you need to play an "out of form" player.....Croatia will probably be our toughest game of the group. We could possibly try Grealish/Foden/Mount in a later group game if needed and Plan A hasn't worked. But tactically we need to be versatile and not one dimensional.

This is what is go with. A mixture of experience and youth. With the option to bring in the likes of Bellingham/Foden/Sterling later on for more energy towards the end of the game....Grealish starts and you bench foden how can you ever dispute grealish starting over sterling rashford or foden hes the best at drawing fouls and creating chances in our squad he can most certainly stretch their backline

No he’s just come back from injury I recon save him & Maguire for later in the competition. I do think Jude should be on the bench tho, as much as I love him as a player...Too inexperienced in the England colours  to start against one of our toughest opponents, recipe for disaster....Yes exactly, someone else needs to play over him but it shouldn’t be Henderson. Grealish/Foden for me (other one on the wing) but  if we’re going to save the ‘big 3’ together then play one of them there and a Sancho/Rashford on the wing

I get that Henderson is injured, but do you really wanna play so attacking against a midfield consisting of modric and rakitic, we cannot let them take too much control in the middle of the park which is why we need 2 holding mids . Maybe Phillips?.....I’d love to see Philips play (as a leeds fan) but 2 holding mids as well as a back 4 is a bit much. Our strength as a team is out attack, so I think we might as well give our best attack
