Some league cup match or some shite - he was rubbish there tbh. Doesn't really matter anymore though, seeing as how Trent's been injured and they had him aimlessly walking around the pitch for a while, probably exacerbating whatever the injury was because the FA doesn't do competence. Hopefully not serious but enough to keep him out of the Euro's and back for a full pre-season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That'd be nice, but my guess is if it's not too serious Southgate will probably keep him around the squad. And if it is serious, I don't think that's great for him getting to full fitness and form in pre-season. Pretty shit all around, I wish Southgate decided not to take him.

Machado 1,710 Posted June 3, 2021 Share Posted June 3, 2021 Foden, Mount and Sterling behind Kane in some sort of 4-2-3-1 would be the best imo with someone who's good at destroying game pairing with Henderson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny 2,204 Posted June 5, 2021 Author Share Posted June 5, 2021 Seen a lot of line-ups where if we play a 3 man midfield they have Rice as holding rather than Phillips...Phillips has successfully pulled off that position for the last 2-3 years at Leeds now, however when I see Rice for West Ham he doesn't necessarily seem to play as a defensive mid but more as a box to box midfielder alongside the beast that is Soucek. Feel like it would be best to have Phillips sitting and let Rice get up and down the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly, what is the point? He's clearly not fit. He should be left at home to recover so he can get fit for his club and save himself for next year being a World Cup year. It is such a waste of a spot. That's someone potentially 100% fit who is being denied their dream there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know he is a leader in the dressing room, but he really needs to think of his own career here and pull out. He’s not fit at all, hasn’t kicked a ball for fucking three months yet as soon as he is somewhat fit, Southgate is going to throw him in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subscriber RandoEFC+ 7,661 Posted June 7, 2021 Subscriber Share Posted June 7, 2021 White has done well but I would also have taken another central midfielder. Perhaps this is influenced by Henderson getting back on the pitch before Maguire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,204 Posted June 7, 2021 Author Share Posted June 7, 2021 I guess you could say we don't need Lingaard as we have Foden and Grealish, though Grealish does drift left a lot he can still play CAM. Then we have Rice, Phillips, Mount and Bellingham for two central midfield spots (assuming Henderson doesn't get fit)...does Ward-Prowse really add anything to that? We're covered for injuries and he's not better than any of those players. I think the real issue is that our defence is now relying on Conor Coady, Ben White and Tyrone Mings.

I really don't mind that. To be perfectly frank, I think the only way we'd win this tournament is if we bagged a win against a big side in the early knockout rounds. We need to break the trend. Just say we beat Portugal for example. The belief and confidence running through the team would sky rocket. It would give us a massive shot in the arm. Generally speaking, we rarely beat a 'big opponent' when it counts in a major tournament. We just can't get over that hurdle. Germany in '96, Argies in '98, Brazil in '02, Portugal in '04, Brazil in '06, Germany in 2010, Italy 2012 and debatabley Croatia '18. If we beat a France, Germany or Portugal in the last 16, it's uncharted waters for us. Suddenly the game changes and there is a fear factor about this England side.
