JumpersForGoalposts Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 21 hours ago, Tiresias said: All this talk of Wilson or Toney, surely you take both? Wouldn't Kane, Toney, Wilson be the 3 most in form strikers? I question why Rashfords space doesn't seem under threat from media despite his lack of form for a long time now. with Sterling, Foden, Maddison, Mount, Saka (if latter fit I guess), surely Grealish and Sancho should be out the question and yet they seem auto picks from some of the media speculation Because Southgate is fucking awful and can't see past his favourites. Rashford has been dogshit for ages, as have Sterling and Grealish, yet they will get the nod. England's style really doesn't suit Kane and Toney is a pound shop Peter Crouch, so you'd think Wilson would be a great option - but Southgate...

Yorkie Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 That'll be the same Sterling who was absolutely instrumental in the Euros and England's match-winner on two separate occasions, I assume. Crouch was a 1 in 2 striker for England too, so a pound-shop version sounds areet tbh. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaqen Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 The timing of the tournament is pretty bad from an England POV I reckon. A lot of the regulars in poor form and it's too late to totally change things up at this point. Could argue that the fringe players should have been integrated better and giving a chance in the nation's league games earlier on. Southgate has generally got it pretty spot on with his selections in previous tournaments though. It's quite funny how everyone was demanding Grealish and Sancho must start every game last euros and Southgate stuck to his guns now people are complaining they'll make the squad as they are his favourites.

Tiresias Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Sterling's been absolutely excellent for England and has been far from dogshit for club (albeit out of position currently with Potter). Absolute nonsense to suggest he shouldn't be near the squad. Toney is a much better forward now than you suggest too. Rashford has been poor, but also Man U are a clownshow. I remember when we were linked and reckon Howe could very well get him back to being the 20 goal a season player he has been before. I would however criticise say Wilson losing out on a place to him on current form. If Grealish was still at Aston Villa and the team built around him I am sure he would be legitimately be pushing the squad but he's peripheral at the moment, and it's not just cos he's at Man City, Foden is absolutely clearly lightyears ahead.

Shearergol Posted November 2, 2022 Share Posted November 2, 2022 Toney will be at Man United in the next year or so anyway, so he'll be guaranteed a place in the England squad He should certainly go to the world cup though - anyone who can take a penalty should.

Disco Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Ben Shite even though he’s been playing RB? If you’re back 3ing it he’s the best RCB. Then Stones and one other. England aren’t getting anywhere close anyway IMO. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smal Posted November 6, 2022 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Shaw has been good recently so I'd go Shaw-White-Stones-Trippier. We really shouldn't be playing a back 3 given Walker's absence and the lack of quality/cover we have at CB. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 Paddypower have odds on who will start England's first game and they reckon it will be a back 5, with two holding midfielders Kane up front on his own and two supporting players.
