Rashford, Sterling and Kane won't start IMO, been pretty clear that it's been 3 midfielders and 2 forwards. It will be Henderson, Alli, one other midfielder ( Lingard or Loftus Cheek) and Kane-Sterling upfront.

 

Which i think is a good idea just on the basis that you don't really play Sterling on the wing unless you have a midfield which can supply and quite obviously we don't.

Has to be two of Henderson, Dier and RLC in midfield + Alli. Lingard or Sterling there and that midfield will get run over.

Cahill's more experienced than Stones, and better than Maguire and Jones. He's still not very good, but I think he's better than the rest. If I was confident in Stones' defending, I'd have him in there, but I'm not.

 

FWIW I think it'll be:

 

Pickford

 

Stones

Cahill

Maguire

 

Walker

Young or Rose, I can't decide who I think he'll play

 

Sterling

Henderson

Alli

 

Lingard

 

Kane

Big difference between your own England XI and the one you think will start though. I was just picking what I'd play.

It will be this IMO.

 

Henderson

Lingaard or Loftus Cheek Alli

Kane Sterling

 

Don't think it will get run over because we are playing 5 at the back :lol:

I think he might switch it around a bit in the group stages tbh. In the big games I think his ideal XI at this point would be:

 

                  Pickford

 

Arnold Walker Cahill Stones Young

 

        Henderson Dier Alli

 

              Kane Sterling

 

I'm hoping RLC gets in ahead of Dier but I have a feeling against any half decent side he's going to try and just shut them out.

Rashford should be starting, like. It's mad how much competition there is for more attacking players when you then look at the defence and it's Cahill, Jones, Maguire, Stones.

His 3 at the back has massively hampered us like. I'm saying it's hampered us, we might actually be better off this way, but it's hampered me when trying trying to think of how we should set up :lol:

 

A front 3 of Rashford Kane Sterling looks lush but we'll probably never see it at the WC.

Walker                                                                              Rose

wont be very entertaining watching us lose 3-0 to tunisia like

 

Shut up - we'd be 8 nil up by HT.

 

This is the England equivalent of the KK Entertainers at NUFC.

 

Unless there's seven goals in a game, we're not playing properly.

                                              Pickford

 

              Any 3 shit defenders it doesnt matter they all shit

Walker                                                                              Rose

 

                                  Dier                  Hendo

 

                  Sterling                                                  Alli

My favourite team and I hate it. Really needs a more interesting CM option, and some non-shite CBs.

Dier and Henderson is a horrible combination. In that formation would you not go for Henderson with Loftus-Cheeks.

FWIW, I think the system Southgate's got set up is probably a good way to go with the players available like.

Could do, but he's shit, so I figure I've given up on any form of attacking from the CMs. It's all on Walker/Rose/Alli/Sterling/Kane. Rest of them are there to desperately defend / hope for the best.

:lol: was thinking "fucking hell I've been trying to put Rashford and Sterling on the wings in Southgate's formation for ages". Was impressed with Semtex for a couple of minutes I'll admit.

 

would've got away with it if it wasn't for that pesky alijmitchell

I mean not if the manager wants to play 3 midfielders and two forwards, i mean on pure talent i'd start him obviously but i'm ok with him coming off the bench if they are actually carrying out an actual plan for once.

 

Putting Sterling as part of the midfield to fit in Rashford to me doesn't help Sterling or the team in general.

Quite, but then I was limited by the formation I could choose. :lol: The idea was for Sterling to be further forward and for Delph to drop into the midfield, with TAA staying as an out and out wing-back.
