We have gone from an abundance of brilliant number 10’s to now having to decide which one is the least shit at this moment in time. 
 

Foden and Palmer having a poor season and have been awful for England for a while. 
 

Rogers losing form at the wrong time

 

Bellingham barely kicking a ball for ages

 

Eze sitting on a bench most the season and unfortunately can’t play Tottenham in a World Cup.

Rogers - Palmer - Saka feels like the strongest to me.

Rogers on the left?

 

I’d hope for Gordon - Bellingham - Saka. You can bring Rashford on to run at them late and hopefully Bellingham works hard to dovetail with Kane. I think Saka and Gordon’s positional discipline, speed and drive is the perfect complement to Kane.

 

Also happy to have Bowen, Rogers, Rashford and Solanke as the second wave.

Yeah, I think Rogers is a better player than Gordon and more of a goal threat cutting in from the left onto his right foot. He does a lot of his best work for Villa from wide left positions.

Yeah he's miles better on the left than the right, that's for sure. I'd prefer him at AM though, although there's no way Bellingham doesn't start there.

Plan A:

Kane

Gordon Bellingham Saka

 

Plan B:

Whoever (Bellingham an option here)

Rashford Rogers Palmer

 

Would have Bowen in the mix too. Maybe Eze.

 

Don't see the need to take Foden at all. Not shown anything for England - ever. Had 1 month of good form for City in almost 2 years.

 

Saka has always played for England so would start him.

 

I'd take Palmer but his place is questionable. Needs to show more - positional flexibility is a bonus.

 

LW is wide open too.

 

(haven't watched England in a good while)

Textbook Gullit like, dripping in irony. Completely misunderstands something, bluntly labels it arrogant, in the process exhibits that very same arrogance he's labelled it as and furthers the stereotype of the Dutch being blunt and arrogant. See also, his views on the Tyne Wear derby not being 'a real derby', or Shearer.

Hard to tell if you're asking seriously here or not. :lol:

 

Ahead of the derby, the 2-1 loss where he left out Shearer and Ferguson, he said that the Tyne-Wear derby wasn't a real derby because it's not in the same city. IIRC he added something along the lines of it not being a big derby either like Inter vs AC

Yeah, I was being serious haha, I just couldn't believe that anyone who has any modicum of football knowledge wouldn't class our derby as a real derby.

Wow, what a mad world it must be through the lens of Ruud Gullit

He's an odd character like. I think he's held his hands up over that and admitted that he just didn't get it at the time and got it wrong, which is what makes him doing this again a head scratcher. I think it's partly down to culture differences particularly with humour in Europe, but you'd think he'd have at least understood by now like.

Tbf, to Gullit he’s right in that the rest of the continent see it as arrogance. Everytime there’s a tournament, I see complaints.

 

 

 

They are Ofcourse wrong.

I mean in terms of lyrical hubris, football chants in general are up there with gangsta rap aren't they?  Middlesborough sing that they're by far the greatest team the world has ever seen.

No Harry McGuire… wonder if Burn has made it (?)

 

I think he has made it, if you follow the odds.

 

Livramento, Gordon and Hall too.

Maguire was 1/4 and shorter odds than BDB to make it earlier today so it's not that reliable. Would absolutely love too see Big Dan Burn get in the squad, think he will, Tuchel likes him. Sky Sports saying he's guaranteed - https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13546249/england-world-cup-squad-announcement-thomas-tuchels-no-10-dilemma-harry-kanes-deputy-and-the-16-guarantees

Can't wait for the predictable outrage across socials tomorrow from fans of all persuasions that Burn and Jordan Henderson are in the squad despite Tuchel basically saying from the first squad he picked that he'd be keeping them around regardless for their character and leadership qualities
