Most of the times Tom is the most sensible out of all of them. However when his shouts are outrageous, they are outrageous.
"Tom is sensible" but goes on to contradicts himself many times after
Picking eze lol
I was literally Thinking this , usually agree with him but he’s had a shocker here
Agreed
@@_jenaissante_"most of the time" bellend
Reev has always made sense man, definitely the smartest on the pod. Cool, calm and collected instead of getting angry and shouting his head off. Class guy
The one time Reev gets heated it’s with arsenal and his bias does show but when it’s anything else he’s definitely level headed the most out of the entire group
Not having Maders in a team to fit in Eze in probs the worst take Tom has ever had..
Also Jude has been playing as an 8 all his life at Dortmund and Madders is also playing a deep role at Spurs at times.
Thats horrid from Tom.
Got to play Bellingham as a 10 though man.. hes destroying la liga in that role. Im not saying id pick Eze over maddison, but our star player needs to be playing where he loves playing. Not making up for others
When you actually watch him play or have watched him play, he’s never really been an 8
@@Sesh__king_ look man, both are too good to be left out of starting XI. i wont pretend I watch every England game to know how Southgate wants to play, but Maddison is having as good a season as Jude I’d say, and has been as important to Spurs as Jude has been to Madrid. Both have that special something, but Madders has that final pass, set piece treath and so much more. Neither should be left out i feel, they are different types who can complement each other id say.
@@jdjdjdh8213 always been an 8 lol
@@Sesh__king_ have you actually watched him? Destroying La Liga is outrageously over the top, he’s being really effective but he isn’t dominating games
Trippier at LB isn't that crazy. Don't know why Tom thinks he literally can't play there.
I agree it’s not crazy but I also agree we should play our players in there best position
Until he plays against a good winger that keeps skipping past him on his wrong foot
Never said he can’t play there. He just believes there’s better options
So a healthy and unreal luke shaw like in the euros vs trippier in LB was the argument not that he can’t just he shouldn’t
Trippier should not be left back!
I am fed up of people thinking Pickford is only good for England, he is consistently amazing for Everton.
💀
i know mate, everytime I hear them say that i get angry
Surprised Theo didn't find a way to fit almiron in there
The Eze glazing is crazy
Reev looks like a football genius compared to the three of them, Tom is alright but he feels internet biased half the time
Tom also gets so defensive if you don’t completely agree with his opinion and is the walking definition of a hypocrite
Tom has had a shocker here….
like he always does
His whole argument is “my opinion is right and if you don’t agree you’re wrong”
the lewis dunk shout is very good , hes very underrated and certainly has performed at higher level not everything theo says is outrageous
Lewis had a good starting XI except not putting Saka. Bro scored 3 goals in 4 matches in the World Cup at 21 years old.
that was such a good point from Reev😭 Tom is dumb as hell sometimes. He loves to say two different things all the time
I dont find personally just because colwil has played 6-8 games at lb where as he’s played the rest of his playing career at cb while Ben white has played for the past 2 years 38+ games as a rightback
tom was right ffs
@@JonasRodgers you can’t play John Stones at CB then…
Lewis Dunk at CB next to Stones isn't even a bad shout lol
How is Dunk not the perfect fit to replace Maguire, keeps the Aerial presence (very important for international matches) and is great on the ball
Because Guehi shits all over him
hate how when people say Pickford like its a shock, he's 100% the best keeper we have
especially when its followed up by 'he always performs when he puts the shirt on' like he hasn't won Everton player of the year for the past 2 years and is one of the best in the league
@@Jacques67Think I’d back myself to win Everton POTY mate
Sam Johnstone is are best keeper
And they act like he only does it for England, he’s easily Everton’s best player and has kept them in the league twice, if he played for a bigger club he would get his flowers
Grealish--------Sterling/Eze
--------Foden--------
-Maddison------Palmer--
-------Bellingham------
Rice--Stones--White-Trent/Rico
-------Ramsdale------
Actually surprised that Theo was very anti-Arsenal this time around. Was fully expecting him to put Ramsdale, Ben White and Nketiah in his team...
Nketiah, us Arsenal fans don’t rate him at all. Why would we want him over one of the best strikers englands ever seen? 😂
@@Blackopskindaguy Theo always says something outrageous
You’re just dragging it
I’m a gooner. Nketiah should be sold to league two. I’ve said this since he was in the U23 before joining the first team. And today, I still stand by what I have said.
Toms had a nightmare
Dunk and Stones is the best partnership.
Lewis dunk isn’t as wild as they made out
I fully agree with Tom with playing players out of position. It’s why our golden generation struggled to deliver because you had players playing in positions they’d never even covered for their club let alone regularly played there. You’ve got Gerrard playing a full season as an 8 but then Sven expected him to be effective on the wing, absolute madness!
Hodgeson playing Rooney LW lol
Usually, I see the logic behind Tom's shouts that everybody else calls "outrageous." However, here I don't see it. Also, Reev is right, Colwil and Stones would fall into the Ben White argument, but both were in Tom's team.
Nah they wouldn’t. Ben white has played 70+ games at right back for Arsenal. Colwill has played maybe 6 at left back for Chelsea and played in a 3 at Brighton. Stones plays inverted for city last two seasons but is listed as a CB and in big games he stays at CB
@Snuffy708 Manchester Derby, away from home, he played as a DM. I'd say that's a pretty big game, no?
I lowkey agree with most of what Tom his saying he just needs to chill pretending they're horror shouts, like i probably wouldn't have Dunc or Ben White at centre half but its not at all criminal to put them there, we're got a ridiculous team and huge amounts of talent in every position.
Eze starting is wild, bro is truly doing tricks on it
id much rather we start eze then bring on maddison if needed at half time, we need a balanced team not a mess of a team that we have had for the last couple decades, Tom is completely correct
Louis had a point with the grealish shout, last euros we were all begging for him to make cameos and when he did he played well but he only got 10-15 mins. Why not give him a run of games considering that LW spot is clearly still up in the air for Southgate
Garratt w as usual
rashford not even mentioned is outrageous
Stones played 16 of 32 games in CB 22/23 and Bellingham played 3 of 132 games in Dortmund as a attacking mittfielder and he is a CDM from the start of his footballyears
Theo is right about Dunk. I’m not even a Brighton fan but Dunk is quality. Offers a greater ariel threat than any other centre half, does the basics very well and puts his body on the line. Also, he has the experience behind him.
Tom is absolutely spot on. Ben white has played RB for 2 years ffs. Levi Colwill has played roughly 5 games as an emergency LB for Chelsea because of injuries.
Colwill is Chelsea’s long term plan at the left sided centre half position. Possibly a future captain in the same exact position as John Terry played and wearing his number.
Also, the best choice for the RB spot is entirely down to who England are playing against. Because if it’s any team besides France, Argentina or Brazil, then Reece James should be playing there. If it’s against any of those 3 sides, then Southgate will obviously play SUPER defensively and therefore Kyle Walker should start, as he’s the best defensive fullback in the history of the premier league. It’s just that he only offers about 25% of what James offers going forward, and against any other teams, James is still brilliant defensively and brilliant in attack. There’s one flaw to speak about with Reece James, and it’s nothing on the pitch. It’s just his injury history. Aside from that, he’s the best all round fullback in world football when fit.
If it’s a choice of Theo’s mental decision to put Dunk in at CB, then obviously anyone who knows ball would have Colwill or Tomori over Lewis Fucking Dunk.
But, Tom leaving out Maddison for Eze is pretty crazy.
Trippier at lb is a good shout idk what tom is on abt
He is Bipolar.
Because he has a weird agenda against Newcastle
because as a lb shaw is miles better, chilwell is better even
@@adambassuni6084 I mean tripper played lb to get us to the wc semis and is form is even better now than then so good shout imo
Trippier and dunk are both good shouts.
This is the only real fumble I’ve seen Tom make, and it’s maybe the biggest pitch side has ever produced
Trent plays cm and helps out def and atk with rice as holding mid and jude as 10 is the best mid u could pick
tom's right about positioning re White and Colwill. That being said, Eze is definitely not more defensively sound than Maddison - and that's the only reason you'd include him in the starting XI.
Rewatching this during the euros makes me think gaz is literally a genius
Lewis Dunk: 2 starts, 2 MOTM performances. Tom has genuinely horrendous ball knowledge.
Pickford
James Stones Colwill Chilwell
Rice
Jude Maddison
Saka Kane Sterling
Dunk is better than Colwill
Colwill will one day be a nailed on starter but not yet. Trent and shaw are also much better than chilwell/james
How can you have chilwell over shaw
POV the three mates at the back of the science class when there’s a substitute teacher
I don’t understand why there saying trippier at left back got us to a euro final cause shaw was left back😂
this may have been the most painful 15.40 of my life and didnt think it would be tom causing it
Trippier got us to a euros final but didn’t play a game at left back, and set up shaws goal in the final from right back?😂😂😂😂
Dunk and Stones as a centre half partnership is a serious presence.
Lewis dunk has had 2 mom appearances back to back btw
Round of applause for Theo Baker, the only one with any ball knowledge. Dunk is so clear of the other options next to Stones
This is a certified rare Tom L
Stones literally never plays right back for City. He plays cb and steps into cdm when they have the ball
"It takes away what Bellingham does going deeper"...you know the 20 year old kid who got brought by Real Madrid playing deeper than currently lol
3 teams.. 3 stinkers 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Drop yours then
Pickford is so good for Everton when will this ‘when he puts on an England shirt he’s class’ narrative gonna end
People don’t rate Pickford, especially right now bc of where Everton have been the last couple seasons in the prem. Pickford has saved them from relegation numerous times and is their best player. I agree he definitely deserves to be englands #1
Nathan Ake, Joao Cancelo and Gvardiol aren't LB's but Pep made them all into world class LB's Tom thinks if he shouts he's automatically right
Eze as a 6/8 is crazy
How thick are these, Trippier has never played left back in a tournament for England 😂
Toms team was absolutely horrific 😂😂
Thank god tom is on this podcast🙏
I never ever disagree with toms opinions in these but hes had an absolute howler here. Serious serious howler
For me its...
Pickford
White. Stones. Cowill
James
Trent. Rice
Bellingham
Saka. Kane. Grealish
- Elbow back 4
- James is interchangeable with Trippier when injured
- Grealish could be Foden or Rashford depending on form, but i think Grealish's ability to suck players in will give space for Bellingham
- Maddison is great but Tom is right, you need to play your best players in their best position, Bellingham is the future @10, you can't shoehorn our best player in at the 6, maybe agianst weaker opposition you drop Trent for Madders & dual 8's
I’m a palace fan and I wouldn’t start eze but I appreciate the love for him
Ngl Tom has had some outrageous shouts lately
The irony of Toms square pegs in circle holes analogy 😭
I agree with Tom icl whites best performances have been at rb linking with saka Colwill for me is a all and out cb who only plays out of position to cover a injured teammates
These are some classic “I’m different” takes from Tom
Formation 4 3 3
GK: Pickford
LB: Trippier
CB: Walker
CB: Stones
RB: Reece James
CDM: Rice
CM: Trent
CAM: Bellingham
LW: Rashford
ST: Kane
RW: Saka
Tom was actually cooking and made sense. Thennnn he came up with an outrageous lineup.
Lewis laughing at Tom for not having Maddison then doesn't put Saka in 😂😂😂
rare tom L. saying white has played last season rb when bellingham has only really played as a 10 this season. past two season for dortmund he was an 8, only becoming that final third player when reus was injured
Tom has the best ball knowledge on the pod apparently 🤨
GK: Jordan Pickford
RB: Trent Alexander-Arnold
CB: Fikayo Tomori
CB: John Stones
LB: Luke Shaw
CM: Jude Bellingham
CDM: Declan Rice
CM: Phil Foden
RW: Bukayo Saka
ST: Harry Kane
LW: Jack Grealish
Well on current form you need to have bellingham as close as possible to the goal
GORDON - WILSON - MURPHY
ANDERSON - LONGSTAFF - WILLOCK
BURN - LASCELLES - DUMMETT - TRIPPIER
POPE
If England want trophies they know what to do.
😂it wld probs be better then what Southgate currently plays
Tom is usually spot on with his takes but everything he says in this video has me talking to my phone disagreeing like I’m in the room with them
Dunk isn’t outrageous he’s actually looked class for England
Tom is right imo we need to play players in there best positions not try to fit them in that’s been our problem before,don’t agree with some of his picks though.
Tom Garrett said Colwil was one of the best centre halves last season.. whilst playing 17 WHOLE GAMES for Brighton keeping only 3 clean sheets!
I honestly think these guys hate each other 😂
Tom thinks that real-life players behave like they do on Fifa when you move them to an unfamiliar position and they turn into 56 rated. As long as a player is comfortable performing the role that's expected of them the actual position on the pitch barely even matters. That's why some players can adjust to different positions very quickly if they already have the skills to fit their new role.
trippie can’t play lb, eze over maddison, saka benched, white can’t play cb, dunk laughed at… how many shocking takes can u have in one video man 😭
I agree with Tom. Trippier can play LB quite well, but for a best England 11… you don’t want a left back that every time the ball get played forward he has to turn and pass it back because he cannot cross with his left foot.
No crossing in modern football. Keep the ball on the ground and short pass your way into the box.
Tom really just gets frustrated and shouts and people think he has ball knowledge 😂
Reev had Tom on absoloute strings
I might have to go to the Dr's....I agree with Theo
Eze plays 10 for Palace but Tom wants him 8, Colwill plays LB for Chelsea but he wants him CB, but Ben White can’t play CB? Sometimes I wonder how certain people get an audience…
Ye I get the Southgate vibes
Tom is spot on. People just disagreeing because it brings down the quality of that England team overall - lack of a strong no.8.
some stinkers in here!
Feel like i've just seen this exact thing on another podcast 👀
I think this is the only time I’ve agreed with Theo. If we had the Euros final tomorrow. The back 4 and everyone is fit; the back 4 is Walker Stones Dunk Shaw.
Without question
"Av got paul dummet UWEEHHHH"
Tom’s too scarred from the Fabio Capello and Hodgson England years that he can’t imagine any player out of position.
White mainly played in a back 3 for Brighton and RB for arsenal tbf
Tomori might be England's best CB but
This debate is just an example of how Southgate thinks lol too many players not enough positions
Tom and Reev both have the odd bad shout but my god they actually at least watch and know a good bit about football, Theo’s so socially awkward being like “is it a team for now or in the future” even though he already has his team made, and all his takes are just shite football twitter ones lol
Personally, I think the best lineup for England is:
ST: Harry Kane
RW: Bukayo Saka
LW: Jack Grealish/Marcus Rashford
CAM: James Maddison
CM: Jude Bellingham
CDM: Declan Rice
RB: Kyle Walker
CB: Marc Guéhi/Lewis Dunk
CB: John Stones
LB: Luke Shaw
GK: Jordan Pickford
How can Lewis slate Tom after the 11🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Lewis sayin foden and grealish in the front three instead of saka has made me physically sick
Can’t believe im saying this but Theo’s team was the best of the bunch
Bro this Tom guy 😭😭😭😭
For me: Pickford, James, Stones, Colwill, Shaw, Rice, Ward-Prowse, Bellingham, Saka, Foden, Kane
I remember when people were calling Southgate a buffoon for playing Trippier at RB.
Pickford should not be compared with maguire!!! He is great in an Everton shirt as well as an England shirt. Been one of Everton’s best players over the last few years. I don’t understand why ppl think he is only good for England
Tom correct again, get them to do a best England 11 in their natural positions see how many have Madison and tripper
