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.

Pickford

Trippier maguire dier Shaw

So what are peoples preferred starting line-up for the first game? I'd go:

 

                       Pickford

 

Trippier    White     Stones     Shaw

 

              Bellingham  Rice

 

Saka              Maddison            Foden

 

                         Kane

 

 

I expect Southgate to go with:

 

                          Pickford

 

Trippier     Maguire     Stones     Shaw

 

                  Bellingham   Rice

 

Saka                  Mount             Sterling

 

                           Kane

White and Stones at centre half in a back four is ridiculously frail like. Suicide tbh. Especially considering White has been at right back most of the season. 

 

We're stuck in a catch 22. Play with a back 5 because none of our centre halves are good enough in a four, but then we play 3 poor centre halves. 

 

I think we're in trouble either way. We're at the end of Southgates cycle, he has ran out of ideas and we've looked really poor recently. We've been fucked by injuries and our defence is rotten. Even our front 3, which is nailed on to be Sterling, Kane and Foden isnt great. I'm not convinced Kane is at the level he was a few years ago. Sterling is woefully out of form and very clearly on a downward trajectory and even Foden has been on the bench at City for their last 3 league games. Bellingham and Rice are both quality but even then, one is playing in the Bundesliga and the other at a struggling West Ham side.

Pickford

Trippier Stones Maguire Shaw

Phillips Bellingham

Saka Mount Foden

Kane

 

Really annoying that James and Chilwell aren't going. 

 

I'm assuming that Phillips is okay fitness-wise. I don't have much faith in Rice. 

 

Odds are that Maddison won't be going, otherwise I'd put him in Mount's place.

No tomari or maddison.. but maguire and ratchford will get picks

 

Unbelievable

I get Rashford. Kane is our main striker and he drops deep to create space so the wide players need to run in behind. Apart from Sterling and Saka we don’t have a lot of that type of player so Rashford has to go in my opinion.

I like him as a person, but never understood the hype for Rashford as a player. Just seems like a pace merchant who hits the ball really well. Admittedly, that’s good enough against a lot of teams but he just seemed to lack the bite and footballing iq to push on and become the world-class player everyone thought he’d be.
