He is effective as a number 10. He would be competing for a spot in the team With Saka, Sterling, Foden, Grealish, Kane Isn’t Maddison playing wide of a three for Leicester at the moment?

fudge27 Posted October 16, 2022 Author Share Posted October 16, 2022 Well since this, Recce James looks to be out of the World Cup, doubts over Kalvin Phillips being fit in time and Tomori having 2 stinkers against Chelsea. Lovely stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ruben Loftus-Cheek would get in for me though, he’s getting regular game time and looked sharp today Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SallyCinnamon Posted October 16, 2022 Share Posted October 16, 2022 Revised squad: Pickford, Ramsdale, Pope Trippier, Alexander-Arnold, Walker, Dier, Stones, White, Tomori, Shaw, Chilwell Rice, Bellingham, Ward-Prowse, Loftus-Cheek, Mount, Grealish, Saka, Foden, Maddison Sterling, Kane, Abraham, Rashford, Toney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't like Stones , and Tomori is having a badly timed poor season, but we are not blessed with options there. I personally would go with Lewis Dunk or Connor Coady who are both having good seasons . Not sure if Coady will want another bench warming tournament though. They key thing will be is to have us defending first and not playing it out from the back. None of our defenders are good enough to play that way. Midfield and forwards I agree with, Rashford is playing well again and is a good impact sub. Toney and Abraham can deputise for an injured Kane without changing formation. Line up for the first game Pickford Walker Dier Stones Trippier Rice Bellingham Chilwell Sterling Kane Foden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted October 17, 2022 Share Posted October 17, 2022 I do like the potential irony of Southgate having no choice but to play Trent after all this. Reece James likely out, Kyle Walker recovering from groin surgery. Suppose his boy Tripper is still fit at present, and Chillwell coming back means our LWB spot is boosted somewhat.

Line up for the first game Pickford Walker Dier Stones Trippier Rice Bellingham Chilwell Sterling Kane Foden For the first couple of games I'd like us to be 4 at the back, we should cope without the back 5 against these guys and change it up later if we need to... Pickford Trippier, Stones, Guehi, Chillwell Bellingham, Rice, Mount Saka, Kane, Foden CB is the obvious weak spot. I'm certain your lineup is a lot closer than mine to the team that will take the field........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd go with the formation we'll be using tournament to bed it in Pickford Walker Stones Gomez Trippier Bellingham Rice Shaw Foden/Grealish/Saka Kane Rashford/Sterling Can't split the support options atm, would go based on form and rotate them to keep them fresh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aren't Iran quite high in the rankings and have a few decent players? Think we should be winning them all, but every game will be tight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the fact you’ve 4/5 players capable of a goal rather than the 2/3 Southgate usually plays. IMO I think Southgate plays that way to cover our poor defence but it’s certainly not worked this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By no means a world class defender but I think he’s one of the best we have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Posted October 20, 2022 Share Posted October 20, 2022 Didn't even realise Loftus-Cheek was playing regular games. Eze at Palace apparently in line for a callup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
