Happy Blue 1,899 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 England should set up like Man City, use Walker and Rose as wing backs, Southgate should have Pep on speed dial Pickford Stones Maguire Walker Dier Rose Ali Delph Sterling Kane Vardy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honey Honey 3,767 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 The squad looks poor in centre mid. There was no point bringing Welbeck we need a centre mid with a forward pass in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Palace Fan 3,402 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 We're playing Tunisia and Panama first two games. Let's play two at the back, one being Dier, and play with some creativity and adventure in the middle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Teams like that just make up the numbers. And this idea that Wilshere has an ego doesn't stand up either. He was okay with playing for Bournemouth and Bolton. Having a squad full of footballers who believe their own hype has served England really well in the past hasn't it? The national side needs a bit of humility in it- after being fucking embarrassing for years with all your big name 'avin it large Gerrards, Beckhams, Ferdinands, Rooneys, I'm quite happy to see a team of workhorses. Not many egos in the German side, for example, they play for the shirt, they play for each other. Just helps them that they're all world class! Oh, and the Ronaldo and Portugal comment is a non sequitur. That side has been set up for the past 10 years to give the best player in the world total freedom to do what he wants.

Dr. Gonzo 8,184 Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 Portugal play awful defensive shite but have Ronaldo to carry them. We could be a low budget version with Kane (and Sterling, who's had a pretty fucking decent season). Wilshire is super overrated and I don't think he's missed in the England squad at all. I think this England squad is different to so many others we've taken to world cups as basically everyone but Cahill and Welbeck (and Lallana on the standby list) is there on merit. And I know the Arsenal fans will probably disagree but Lallana is England's best technical midfielder and has actually played well for England, while Wilshire is a decent player but not as good. So I'd rather have him in case of emergency than Wilshire. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'd rather have him in case of emergency than Wilshire. I've mentioned Lallana and how not even having either Lallana or Shelvey instead of Wilshere makes the decision even more baffling. Taking 7 midfielders, one of which can play CB if needed anyway, is terrible squad management. The squad seems like it's been picked by a random BT Sport pundit. The bigger issue though is that like the 2 previous tournaments, we go into the warm up games still needing to figure out the team and how they will play. It's laughable how disorganised we always are going into a tournament and it's laughable how that never gets talked about by the so called experts.

Smiley Culture 1,651 Posted May 18, 2018 Author Share Posted May 18, 2018 Apologies for being slow but Jack Wilshere is rated behind Jake Livermore by Gareth Southgate. My God. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick 2,276 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 We're gonna do absolutely fuck all as usual. @Storts basically put up the best lineup we can put out, and it still leaves a shit ton to be desired. Shelvey would have been on that plane instead of Welbeck. Lallana should be on it too. We have little creativity that squad.. My ideal line up (if the right people went) ------------------------ Pickford --------------------- ---------- Maguire ------------ Cahill ------------- -- Walker --------------------------------- Young-- -------------- Henderson -- Dier ----------------- -----Sterling ---------Alli --------- Lallana------ -------------------------Kane--------------------------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny 2,204 Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 I don't get the calls for Shelvey, barely anyone has had a word to say about him all season and now it's selection time his name pops up. Regardless of whether or not we're missing that sort of player (we are), both Shelvey and Wilshere are no great loss. I wish Lallana was fit but he won't be, it'll essentially be a pre-season for him. I'd probably like to see something like the below but I think it'll be what @Storts posted. Pickford Walker - Stones - Maguire - Rose Dier - Henderson Sterling - Alli - Rashford Kane Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
