Gallagher in makes me think, Southgate has him as a Mount replacement, rather than a Maddison replacing him. And it's crazy. JWP should've went. I don't see where Grealish gets in, unless Southgate is a moron and plays him LW ahead of Rashford. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenSeagull Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Brighton fan here. Great to see Pope, Wilson & Trippier getting the call-up, they fully deserve it but I have serious doubts as to whether Southgate will actually play them. We all know he's never been one to pick players based on form, it's all about which club they play for esp. if it's Villa, Liverpool or Utd. How else can it be that he has Maguire, TAA, Dier & Shaw ahead of Dan Burn and Lewis Dunk? By any measure, those two have been consistently better and Southgate bloody well knows it. As long as the FA continue to employ ex-Palace muppets, we'll never win anything. Best of luck for the rest of the season. Would love to see both our clubs smash the Big 6 stranglehold. You lot to win it outright & Brighton to finish in top 6, ideally above Chelsea. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) Grealish has performed quite a few times for England like. I couldn't name a single time Sancho has. I understand people looking at player's club form, what I can't understand is completely ignoring player's form for England. Pickford and Maguire being the main two where their England form seems to count for nothing for some reason.

Kanj Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Maddison is the true X-factor in attack -- maybe pushes his way into the starting 11 after a few games. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I'm going to say Semi-Finals, the Nations League was to Southgate what Euro 88 was for Bobby and Foden has his Gazza breakout tournament on the international scene. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought he was getting kicked all over by the two center halfs but did well to hold the ball up, IMO his experience against those types of defenders will be invaluable for a sub to hold the ball up, I would have taken him instead of Gallagher.

Yes he has been good in past competitions, but his form has so dramatically dipped outside the National team at some point it has to be more of a consideration than past form.

I totally agree that it's not us much the case with Maguire now like, but for a long time he was a complete Jekyl and Hyde, with people constantly only looking at his Man United form. Even now, with his England form being poor, I still don't think you can totally disregard his previous form, mainly because it was that good. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaqen Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 I wouldn't bother trying to look at current form too much. About half the squad have either barely played this season or are in poor form. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lush Vlad Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Aye. He has been dreadful for England whenever I’ve seen him. Save for being ‘another’ defensive player. Saw some bits about how his positioning and discipline suit Southgate’s system. Or some such nonsense. Don’t we already play with 2 holding mids and often a back 5, as well Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lush Vlad Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Probably go with that as my team. Maybe Rashford for Sterling. Who has looked a bit crap this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superior Acuña Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 (edited) When was the last time we had 6 players at a World Cup? Dead happy for Wilson. And can only be good for us for players to see playing for us can get you in the England squad. Only Man City have more - we're joint with Arsenal/Chelsea/ManU.

Shearergol Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 30 minutes ago, hakka said: Hmm... my intial thoughts would be 433 over 4213. Not sure about left back options. Burn should be there. Prefer one holding midfielder with two more attacking ones. We are too negative with two holding midfielders. Think ball retention and better passing options forward from the middle is something Southgate struggles with, but its often because we have 7 players sat back so much. Wouldn't mind a different system to see Kane and Wilson together. Think Wilson's off ball runs would make space for him and Kane. Don't know if Wilson can replace Saka and Sterling as wide attackers of a front 3 system. Grealish, Rashford and in particular Foden are great options. Probably prefer Wilson to replace Kane if he's flagging or to put Wilson's pace up top with the wide forwards. Trent at left back? What? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Icarus Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 The caveats here are that Foden and Mount's positions are definitely up for grabs from Sterling and Maddison, probably with a formation change along with it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Impossible to select the formation he might well go with. Anyway: Pickford White Dier Stones Tripper Shaw Rice Bellingham Saka Kane Foden Would be my shout. No chance he's not staring Sterling though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
