But he's had plenty of work to do at struggling WBA, like Pickford who looked decent in a Sunderland side getting relegated. Goalkeeper has become a nightmare for England right now Just think Pickford is erratic. I like boring, solid keepers that don’t make many mistakes. Pickford strikes me as the type that will make a huge mistake. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually play Jude Bellingham as the shield/ defensive midfielder . I know how young he is, but whenever I've seen him he has been better than Rice/Henderson/Phillips. My starting line up for the first game is this, from the BBC squad predictor : 4-1-2-3 GK : Henderson RB : Walker CB: Mings CB: Tomori LB: Chilwell DM : Bellingham AM: Mount AM: Grealish RW: Foden CF: Kane LM: Rashford It's going to be Stones and Maguire at Centre Back, I know. I'm quite liking the rest of that line up though. First game maybe, but against tougher opposition later in the tournament that defence and midfield would get run ragged Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Croatia is our toughest group match, we could be a bit more adventurous in terms of Trent Alexander Arnold at RB & perhaps putting Mount in the midfield 2 in the other two games, depending on our position in the group.

vulva Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Sterling has been awful this season. Wouldn’t get anywhere my starting line up. Grealish should be in the starting 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope's not fit and not in the squad that's why Ramsdale and Johnstone have been called up. Henderson #2 and although I've rarely seen him play even when at United after seeing his performance against Liverpool I would fully expect Pickford to be #1.

Sterling has dipped dramatically in the last 2 or 3 months. Rashford has been a bit inconsistent at times too, just can't see us starting without at least one of them in the first competitive game.

The only way is S6 Posted May 25, 2021 Author Share Posted May 25, 2021 We’re gonna be like that Newcastle side of Keegan’s. Lethal going forward, leaky at the back. Hopefully on right side of high scoring games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 We should have got in for the Brighton keeper Sanchez. Looks pretty good to me. Though it's funny really all this debate about who should be 3rd choice right back like it really matters All you need to do is make sure your key players have players around them to suit them Look at Belgium, some right dross in their squad but still a force because it's the key players that make a difference 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

markg Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Wasn’t sure if Pope was ruled out through injury or not fancied cos he looked to be poor on the ball in his last couple of internationals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted May 25, 2021 Share Posted May 25, 2021 Personally, I don't agree with some of the striking options. Think DCL is pretty average and simply had a very good spell last season before returning to his usual levels. Danny Ings is a far, far better player imo and probably the closest thing we have to someone who could come in for Kane, if required. I also don't understand why Southgate never gave Bamford a chance to prove himself. No idea why he has called up the likes of Ben White. Seems completely pointless. At least he has dropped Eric Dier though, that's a real relief. I'm actually scheduled to go to the group opener against Croatia on the 13 June 2021, so I can be safe in the knowledge that I can shout abuse at Eric Dier's brother and he won't be there to confront me in the stands.
