England

[NEEJ]

Bellingham looked like a bloke among toddlers there, like. Outrageous.

Bellingham and Kane are a great combo.

 

Build the rest of the team around the pair and the positions they have played in tonight.

I would add Saka too - think he’s amazing 

 

Grealish on the left 

[bigfella]

Callum coming on. Howay son 

[Tsunami]

England could be some team with the right manager. We’ve got some real talent that is being held back by the way we play.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Nice to hear such inclusive songs as Rule Brittania and God Save the King.

Would play Foden and Rashford ahead of Grealish tbh.

I can’t believe Foden isn’t destined to play centrally TBH. Him, Rice and Bellingham.

Foden and Rashford coming off looked daft but it swung back immediately and fully to us after that change.

 

One being Saka helps.

[gbandit]

Foden needs to start very match, as does Bellingham and Kane. I’d also want Saka in there. Think Rashford is probably a better option than Grealish as I think Grealish might find it hard to play in a different system now that he’s been Pepped. Rice should start every match as well. It’s an extremely good squad, especially across midfield, wings and up front 

[Kid Icarus]

I don't think there's a definitive England XI tbh, it just depends who you're playing aside from probably Walker, Rice, Bellingham, Kane 

[andyc35i]

Trippier playing the whole game, I haven’t been watching? I think Tino gets a start on Saturday with the trip to Milan coming up so quickly

Totally forgot about Foden yikes 

 

Good strength in depth tbh 

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Gallagher is just legs and absolutely nothing else. Hilarious player.

I get the clamour for getting more of the gifted attackers on the pitch at the same time, I genuinely do. But some of the criticism is twilight zone stuff at times. Even at the World Cup just gone we scored 6 against a side that barely conceded a goal in their qualifying; 3 against Wales, 3 against the African champions.

Add Stomes

[KaKa]

Rice and Philips midfield has looked really good as a base for the attacking players.

 

Both have made themselves available for the ball and passed it forward well.

 

Henderson should be nowhere near starting for England anymore. 

 

Not sure who Southgate could use as alternative options behind Rice and Philips though. Ward-Prowse could be one, but not sure who else. England are light in that area.

I tell you what, Tripper left back for us would be absolutely fine. Been decent tonight.

Was very tempted but, nah actually yeah Stones as well

Think we average three goals a game

Nearly did but it's not unimaginable that Southgate switches it up. But aye, probably

I think if you play that way it doesn't allow Bellingham the same freedom to bomb ahead of Kane like he did tonight.

 

Unless Southgate uses full backs that come into midfield and then allow Foden and Bellingham complete freedom to get forward.

 

Can't see Gareth being anywhere near that inventive though.

[AyeDubbleYoo]

Easy win and Harry got his own goal, all is fine with the world. 

[Joelinton7]

Ground emptier than a Wilkos at the end there. 

[Kid Icarus]

I've seen Scotland passion and momentum their way to results at Hamden. No bigger stage than that and no smaller a fire from them. If only England had a good manager eh.
