    Let me know my biggest stinker here... I'll guess Grealish.

    • @Nightsu
      @Nightsu Місяць тому +35

      What do people think Grealish offers the England squad? Not a goal scorer and doesn't provide impact off the bench. What can he do vs France/Portugal in the big games?
      Realistically Rashford is the direct game breaker of the squad (with Bellingham) and needs to start on the wing so Kane has runners. Defenders are scared of the threat he can bring and just being on the field drops their defensive line.
      Foden in the midfield if Mainoo isn't considered to start.

    Great squad Joe! I’d want to get Jones in there personally but apart from that it’s spot on. Starting line up would be:
    Pickford
    Walker
    Stones
    Maguire
    Shaw
    Rice
    Trent
    Bellingham
    Saka
    Kane
    Foden
    Thats what should be the lineup, massively experienced back line, insane quality in midfield with the right balance and that attack is frightening. If we don’t win the euros with that team and the options we have in the squad, then it will be down to Southgate somehow mucking it up.

    No no mate Gallagher ? You’ve got to be killing me but JWP been underperforming for the hammers that’s a ridiculous shout JWP is so underrated should 1000% be going it’s criminal if he doesn’t.
    A midfield 3 of,
    Rice JWP Bellingham
    Really brings the perfect balance and reminds me to how Arteta / Arsenal set their midfield up JWP because in that ‘regista’ like feel similar to Jorginho. Rice as the engine with the ability and legs to perform for a 90 & break up play + Jude in the free roam allowed to really venture where he wants similar to Ødegaard but also the brilliant ability to press and defend also despite I’m a Utd fan so I hate to admit how good their midfield has been but really should be the mold for us it just makes perfect sense and a perfect comparison imo.

    Rice Trent

      @@cobrakai83 No because he was a cm growing through the academy, he’s played there for Liverpool in an inverted role and actually been moved into that role in game, with either Bradley or Gomez going to rb. He’s one of the best passers of the ball that we’ve ever seen. I’m with Joe he has to start. Rice, Trent and Bellingham is an insane midfield.

    My picks (4-3-3):
    GK: Pickford | Butland | Trafford
    RB: Walker | White(Alexander-Arnold)
    RCB: Stones | Konsa
    LCB: Branthwaite | Dunk
    LB: Trippier | Gomez
    CDM: Rice(Mainoo) | Mainoo(Henderson)
    RCM: Alexander-Arnold(Rice) | Jones
    LCM: Bellingham | Maddison
    RW: Saka | Bowen
    LW: Foden | Gordon
    FW: Kane | Toney
    In the absence of White, I'd have Alexander-Arnold as an inverting fullback and start both Mainoo (as CDM) and Rice (as RCM). This is the only scenario which Henderson makes it on my team, where he comes on to wrap up the game and save energy on either Mainoo or Rice.
    Otherwise, the one wildcard I would have is Luke Shaw for Lewis Dunk
    Not only is he still England's best Left Back, he has also been played (and reasonably well) at LCB under Erik Ten Hag

  • @bencarter3920
    @bencarter3920 Місяць тому

    I think you have to bring Henderson. If rice gets inured then there’s really no one else who can come in and form a double pivot, England are blessed with lots of great 8s and 10s but in my mind henderson is the only possible cover for rice. Also his experience and leadership is extremely important, it’s easy to forget just how young this England squad is, it’s vital that you keep some of the more experienced guys around like henderson and sterling imo.

But it's out of love for him that I don't want to rush his development- I'd take him if it was a 26 man squad but there's just not enough space and Henderson is a more reliable, experienced backup. Mainoo just isn't physically developed enough yet to play as a 6 at international level imo (he'll defo become a world class 8 tho)

Gordon and rashford both get in for me or even grealish instead of one of them. Maybe tripps over Gomez/white too. As much as I hate southgate picking his favourites, experience of being a key feature at tournaments has to come into play, this is emphasised even more if players like henderson and Sterling aren’t gonna be there.
