As much as I like Palmer, I don’t think he offers something that the Foden Bellingham Maddison don’t. Grealish and Rashford must go IMO, as...
He might be too young but Mainoo solves many problems. Allows Southgate to play 2 DM and get the defensive security he’s obsessed about, but also...
Rashford isn’t playing well but he still has that X factor that justifies his inclusion IMO. Don’t think there’s any point in taking Watkins
Depends i like Maddison very much but if Southgate decides to be bold and play two 10 in midfield then surely Foden is by far the best option
Couldn’t see the 90mn but I like what I saw. The midfield trio in particular looked good. Mainoo gives something we’ve been lacking for years....
Thought Mainoo looked excellent and at home at this level. Probably too young but what a precious type of player to have for the years to come, so...
Too poor on the ball to be a DM at international level. Mainoo looked twice the player when he came on
Wouldn’t go that far. Foden has performed in difficult conditions, often wide left. Had a solid World Cup in his worst position. Both could play...
He was excellent, showed exactly what he’s capable of, composure under pressure from deep and great courage
It wasn’t perfect especially at the start but the team grew in the tournament and played exciting football overall, the mcmanaman Gazza Anderton...
Loftus Cheek looked absolutely unplayable vs PSG, if he keeps playing that way it will be hard to ignore
You’re getting carried away. The pitch was awful they played with 10 behind the ball. We would have scored several goals at home.
Some positives for me. Foden needs to play in that position he’s that good. I’d play Bellingham next to Rice. The TAA experiment in midfield has...
We were in control tbh. Although I’m still not sure about Trent in midfield, neither great with the ball nor without it. Foden has to start in...
We have the players to replace Bellingham tbh, Kane on the other hand …
Quite like the 11, I hope the rice Taa pivot doesn’t leave gaps, as it would give Southgate an excuse to never try an attacking line up ever again
Foden played that role once for England and he was superb
I’m up for it
If you want to give someone a free role in midfield Why not play a proper playmaker in there, like Foden or Maddison ? TAA will never Be a top...
The fact that he rarely plays there doesn’t bother me, however I feel that he’s not a midfielder for good reason, I don’t see anything special...
In the land of the blind …
there’s a reason Trent has made a name for himself playing right back, he was already playing there at u19 level, playing long passes with the...
It’s not an overreaction it happened an infinite number of times under Southgate
Can’t blame Rashford tho, midfield behind him doesn’t progress with the ball he has to pick up the ball too deep. Southgate isn’t bad at...
That was predictable
