Stones is starting at CB and moving into CM when they have the have possession isn't he? Keep the full backs back more and we can do the same
Southgate should check on Walker after his very late substitution and if he is a fitness doubt get someone else on standby or just called up anyway
Not until we can find an elite centre half like Ruben Dias. You need four quick mobile defenders to make that system work and, at the moment, we've got er, Harry Maguire.
Didn’t see him at right back at all today, mainly just in midfield alongside Rhodri and was immense imo.
They will be a lot of calls for him to do so. Maybe if Colwill has a good season next year and replaces Maguire as the starter it could be more likely. Will Rashford turn up to the England camp or withdraw citing the injury he might have picked up today.
Yeah to be honest I agree with others saying that for England TAA would be the better fit for the inverted midfield role. Purely because we need Stones as a CB given our paucity of them. We simply don’t have the luxury of playing our only world class centre back out of position.
Absolutely, although from what I've seen of Brighton this year, it's been Colwill who has been playing the roving defender role. This more fluid and progressive defensive set up will certainly take us away from the tedious sideways passing that's been a feature of England's centre halves for years, but we need the right personnel to execute it.
If we're going to experiment with Trent, I'd prefer to see him play as a straight midfielder. He just leaves us too vulnerable defensively playing as an inverted full back and the top teams will exploit that for all its worth.
How on earth are you comparing Depp and Greenwood? There's far more evidence of Depp being abused than committing abuse. Greenwood is a rare case where we can be pretty certain that his behaviour was horrific with no guesswork involved.
Ilkay Gundogan will be remembered as the match winner, but John Stones’s performance was sensational! Defensively great, block on Garnacho & heading the crossbar!!Then running the game from midfield.

Real Madrid are ready to test Tottenham's resolve to keep Harry Kane. Carlo Ancelotti has made Kane his top target to replace Karim Benzema.[@talkSPORT]— That's Football! (@ThatsFootballTV) June 4, 2023 Kane’s preferred option is to stay in England and break Alan Shearer's Premier League scoring record.Kane is believed to have made a trip to Madrid earlier this year.— That's Football!

That’s ridiculous if it’s true! He’d rather stay in England just to break a goal scoring record that he will probably be also beaten in years to come. How sad if true than rather going to a club who wins trophies.
I am not at all surprised. He doesn’t strike me as someone who would settle in Madrid and it’s challenging for footballers culture.
Tammy Abraham with what looks to be a serious knee injury, hopefully not an ACL but it didn’t look good in how it hyperextended pic.twitter.com/bpaneU8jJp— TheSecretScout (@TheSecretScout_) June 4, 2023 Worrying news.
So, who is it that is going to be telling media outlets that Kane’s preference is to break the PL goals record over going to a big foreign team? It’s just completely made up.
How do you come to that conclusion? He's not some young lad or a loner like Gareth Bale. He's a mature, level headed family man who I'd imagine would embrace the challenge of playing abroad with ease.
Bad news for Tammy Abraham. It’s ACL injury for English striker on final game of the season with AS Roma, Sky Sport are reporting. 🚨🏴 #AbrahamWaiting for club statement indications, Sky report that he’d be out until the end of the year, November/December. pic.twitter.com/hWWyE5k53C— Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) June 4, 2023
