England Senior National Team General Discussion Thread

Maybe - it will come out if that has happened.

 

Quansah on for Trent at right back. This'll be interesting to see how he copes there against Doku.

 

This loss isn't solely their fault but but if the England squad were to be named this week then Walker, Lewis and Foden should be nowhere near it.

Without being harsh, if you could make an AI player, it'd probably look something like Rico Lewis.

 

I think Tuchel will quite possibly try and convert an attacker up to being right wing back.

 

Tuchel has played with a back 4 just as often if not more than a 3, literally nothing to suggest he'd play wing backs.

 

Gordon would be favourite if that happens.

 

International football arguably suits a back 3 but I’m not so sure the player pool does.

 

Does it? Who was the last team to win a tournament with a back 3?

I know this was rhetorical, but I think it would be:

World Cup - 2002 (Brasil)
Euros - 1996 (Germany)
Copa America - 2015 (Chile)

Brasil and Chile are the only examples I can think of this century from these three tournaments.

Real Madrid have made contact with Portugal full-back Diogo Dalot, 25, and have been told Manchester United would demand £41.5m. However Liverpool’s England right-back Trent Alexander-Arnold, 26, remains the Spanish champions' priority. (Relevo - in Spanish), external

Luke shaw is injured again.

 

H Clarke, Davis, Greaves, Delap, Hutchinson and J Clarke start for Ipswich. Walton, Townsend, Phillips and Chaplin are on the bench.
Henderson, Mitchell, Guehi, Chalobah, Eze and Hughes start for Palace. Ward, Clyne, Kporha and Nketiah are on the bench.

 

Justin, Coady and Vardy start for Leicester. Thomas, Skipp and Mavididi are on the bench.
Kilman, Wan-Bissaka, Bowen and Ings start for West Ham. Foderingham and Casey are on the bench.

 

Ipswich's ground looks like something out the 90s and I mean that in a good way.

 

I think it is will be a surprise if we see Luke Shaw play for England again. I think going forward it will be Lewis Hall who is the front runner to start under Tuchel but others exist as well like Mitchell or even moving someone who plays elsewhere normally.
