Mate has just paid £300 for four tickets for the friendly at SJP - two adults and two kids - utter disgrace that - £85 and £65 - bairns were desperate to go - outrageous 

 

 

 


Unbelievable :lol: mine were £25 a pop in the Gallowgate. They’d have been better off joining ESTC for the year and getting the cheap tickets last week.

I paid £80 for 2 adults and a ten year old.

I paid £30 for one, booking fee at £2.50 is a disgrace though.

I still don’t see why it’s on a Monday when you have Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday all available.

Is this on the Wembley site lads ? I'm trying to book for me plus one child. I've registered, it's asking me for the child details "assign fan", anyone know what to do here ?

 

Also no delivery methods offered

 

Plus the FAQ returns a 404 code

 

They aren't making it easy !

Seems like Southgate’s sole job at this point should be figuring out how to construct the best XI and system around Bellingham, Saka, and Foden.

I think everyone needs an England supporter number (FAN) to book at the moment.

We've got ALOT of very good, exciting attacking players right now. The problems lie further back amongst the defence and the central midfielders.

 

It'll be incredibly depressing to see Henderson start our first game of the tournament, I can only hope he's injured to force Southgates hand elsewhere.

 

A front 4 of Kane, Saka, Foden and Bellingham is as good as its been for England in a long long time. Add to that a bang on form Gordon and Watkins and we've got decent options as well.

Pretty incredible he didn’t start any of those 3 in a Euros Final, opting to play Sterling, Phillips and Mason fucking Mount.

You’ve gotta feel for players like Bowen. Ordinarily he’d have every chance of playing regularly for England but he’s probably about 6th or 7th choice because of the embarrassment of attacking riches we have.

Think he's 2nd/3rd choice RW.

 

It's tougher on Maddison. Years undeservedly behind Mount at 10. Then Bellingham explodes as a 10 and Foden shows incredible form at 10.

The fact it's all over the press about how Southgate is going to fit Foden into his team tells you everything you need to know! 
 

I wouldn't be surprised at all if he doesn't start.

I agree. 6th/7th was just emphasising I’d probably expect Southgate to play his purples out of position rather than putting someone like him in.

 

I was messing around trying to predict what Southgate would do and it took a long time to even recognise Bowen could be an option.

It’s a real shame that Mount went to Man U. He’s been destroyed. Was a handy option for us. 

Disagree, think he’s a very limited player that can’t control games. I think he’d score goals in teams that have a lot of pace and counter quickly but he just doesn’t influence games anywhere near enough

Foden, Bellingham, Rice, Saka, Stones and Kane should all be absolute non-negotiable starters for England.

Absolutely. My team would be:

 

                      Kane

 

Gordon         Foden             Saka

 

          Rice          Bellingham

 

Chilwell   Stones   Tomori    Walker

 

                    Pickford

Other than France, that would be the best starting XI at the tournament. It'll 100% be Rashford on the left though. 

 

The Gordon thing isn't club bias like Lascelles in 2018 for example, there's no English player better than him in that role at the moment.

Wouldn't it? Gonna be a hard pill to swallow when Maguire starts alongside Stonses, one of Philips or Henderson starts alongside Rice and Foden plays left with Bellingham in the 10 role.

 

Even the sub options we should have (but probably won't) are very very good!

 

Bowen
Watkins
Solanke
Palmer
Eze
Maddison
Guehi
Mitchell
Trippier

Even if he's not 100% on Gordon yet you could put Foden left and get Maddison or Bowen in behind Kane. Against some of the lesser teams you could even put Kane from the 10 position with Watkins even.

 

Anything but Rashford, Phillips, Henderson, etc.

I think I’d go for the team Magpie put but: Foden on the left, Bellingham at 10, Shaw at left-back and perhaps controversially I’d have TAA in the middle.

 

Gordon to be used as the supersub when situations call for it.

Shaw's likely to miss the Euros I thought, otherwise I'd have had him (think him and Chilwell both excellent though)
