Rio is a legend but Jesus he’s delusional with his commentary.
He’s a 🤡
He’s easily the worst ‘pundit’ ever, stealing a living, totally clueless - ‘arteta leaves for Utd’, ‘rashford is world class’, ‘saka isn’t world class’ - he’s the only man more delusional than ETH 😂
I agree the most important is the manager look at belgium golden generation. southgate will play henderson and the man city reject kalvin phillips. we need a great manager to win and not bottle big games
Nobody has that pace & talent on the left to compliment Kane's dropping deep...Had England started Rash against France/Kounde then the team would have made it to the WC final
Ah stop
Rooney’s bang on about that midfield three, Rio’s living in fifa world only focusing on England and not the opponents
Great on the ball, but without, who is gonna recover and fight for possession?
Precisely. Love Rio but it’s clear who’s got their badges in that conversation. That midfield 3 would be eaten whole in the transitions. Wouldn’t make it far at all
@@PlayerOne-534 exactly
England are the only team in the world that could complain about playing their best players.
It’s down to the coach to make it work. If he can’t we should find someone that can.
Rio really picked Rashford?!?! Take off the bias goggles
Rashford is not bad for England
Rashford on form is better than every other LW option
@@Withtherackzugetslapped Rashford is brilliant for England. So is Sterling tbh.
@@micah0190 yeah but he ain't on form. So stop wishing and hoping. Go by as is right now. Rashford does not get there.
Who’s on form, that’s an actual left winger? Foden Maddison are central players. The options are Gordon sterling rashford
Gordon - most goal contributions for the position, best work rate, but nah - let’s throw a lazy rashford in because he scored a penalty earlier today 🤦♂️
Top scorer 4 england last world cup off the bench always turns up 4 england
Most goal contributions in what universe
I hope Rashford gets injured because Southgate will pick him. Actually while I'm wishing for stuff I hope Southgate gets injured and jurgen klopp takes over
@@kyledonaldson8947
That's because he was yet recognized by opposition defender. Today he will be easily neutralized by any defender by looking at his playing style of cut inside and shoot
It will be Foden playing on the left.
Marcus rashford… mental. He’s lucky to get on the bench.
Foden on the left, Trent in the middle, Rashford can hand out lunches
Foden isn’t that good on the left his best position is midfield
Stones/Ward Prowse are really the ones who have the best claim to being the other sitting mid this year.
@@OwenKennedy-ys1zq Foden is class everywhere
@@hc2155but England don’t have any good CBs otherwise stones would play cm
Spot on
I agree with Rooney. That midfield will struggle against Spain (Rodri, Pedri and Gavi) and France (Tchouameni, Griezmann, Camavinga).. Its way too attacking, 2 no10s and a box to box midfielder in Rice is offensive af. Every other team in the euros would get destroyed though.
Gavi won't be going.
Thanks bro,
Spain, France, Portugal, maybe even Italy will run rings around that midfield.
I dunno why we’re even debating this anyways, We all know he’ll be playing either Henderson or Phillips anyways🤣
England for me are just missing that Creative Midfielder that can dictate the middle of the park & hold his own in the midfield defensively.
Spain, France, Portugal & even Italy All have that sort of player.
Even Germany will too with Kroos coming back.
We have that player in trent@@KINGKING10109
@@KINGKING10109kobee maiinoo
Gavi and pedri😂 rodri is the only danger on that spanish midfield
It has got to be Trent rice and Bellingham and foden on the left
Go watch what Loftus Cheek is doing in Serie A this season
@@intellicogroup405 england has too much talent dont know what to pick the fact is he could be a choice but wont be
Washford got 2 goals in 2 games. So should start for England. Absolute melts.
Trent next to rice as a 2, foden bellingham saka, behind kane. Also I'd argue joe gomez in for shaw at left back.
Not sure about Gomez, but I like putting Trent in mid, and playing Foden LW
Liverpool fan by any chance?
I think that’s what I’d do too,
Maguire & Shaw worry me too but they’ve performed reasonably well for England
The only reason Luke Shaw won't start is injury. He was amongst our top 3 players in the last euros
Put Trent in midfield England will not past r16
Rio always keeps forcing Rashford on that left wing, mad😂
Foden on the left Alexander Arnold in middle
Well there's a surprise. Lescott (ex Everton) likes Gordon (Everton prodigy); Ferdinand (Ex Man Utd and West Ham) goes for Rashford (Man Utd) but mentions Bowen (W.Ham); Rooney (ex Man Utd mainly) wants Rashford (Man Utd).
Everyone at Everton hates Gordon
Anyone who doesnt agree with Rooney about the midfield clearly doesn't know how everyone of them like to get forward, no one there is an out and out sitting 6, we would be massively exposed against any half decent side.
Rice has sat for Arsenal though, only recently he's been played further forwrad and have Jorginho sit since Rice is that good he can play anywhere in the midfield, bit like Rooney was that good he could anywhere across the attacking positions.
There must be someone better than Harry Maguire
I'd have Tomori
Gomez he’s having a great season
@@lukes472 yeah at left-back and right-back..
Gomez or Tomori easily
Dunk
Ferdinand being 7 years older than Rooney is wild. Rooney looks like he could be both their dads
Cant wait to see Henderson or Phillips in the midfield
Oh boy southgate's boyfriends 😂😂
“France are our only threat” Just a gentle reminder for Rio that England have only won 1 trophy ever, and that was over 50 years ago…
Tbf this team is the strongest team we have had in a long time.
@@joemarron5515 this team ia nowhere near the levels of the 80s and 90s. Hell its not even close to the 2000s golden generation.
I think he knows
@@joemarron5515 That's nothing without a winning culture though. Ask Belguim.
@@ExecutionerHopkins that’s why I said in a long time
Foden on the left, Maddison on midfield
That's not any less open in midfield. Foden on the left, Maddison will have to come off the bench. I like the idea of a 4-2-3-1 with Kane up top, Foden Bellingham and Saka behind with Rice and any one of Henderson/Gallagher/JWP or even Trent alongside him.
Foden left, cole Parmer In the middle
The standard of other teams at these Euros is being completely overlooked, especially some of the midfields
Portugal - B. Silva, B. Fernandes, Palhinha
Spain - Rodri, Pedri, Gavi
Germany - Kroos, Kimmich, Gundogan
France - Griezmann, Camavinga, Tchouameni
Italy - Barella, Verratti, Locatelli
Croatia - Modric, Kovacic, Brozovic
Holland - De Jong, Reijnders, Xavi Simons
Belgium - De Bruyne, Tielemans, Trossard
I don’t think camavinga starts for france
@@nelsonogbuigwe7500Rabiot then perhaps?
Kimmich will play RB for Germany. Andrich/Kroos/Gündogan is Nagelsmann's intended midfield with Wirtz, Musiala, Sané/Havert up front. So there'll be even more midfielders in the front 3.
I find it weird, how England always goes on about their golden generation in the early to mid 2000s totally ignoring, how France, Portugal, Italy, Czech Republic, The Netherlands all had golden Generations of their own at the same time, not to mention of Brazil or Argentina, who always have incredible talents.
@@alexm82420 Bingo, cama is shaky at cdm. he might lose the ball and your cooked
Maguire and Shaw???
southgate always plays with maguire and shaw lol
@@idontcair7423 which is why everyone says he picks the wrong 11
"And DE Gea.....don't get me started on the goalkeeper. Most overrated keeper."
Shaws a definite, meme Maguire maybe not so much
Honestly guys, Spain, France, Portugal even Italy would Pass rings around that midfield with Southgate’s tactics
Southgate can’t set this team up to dominate games.
Rooney knows ball
Gordon could be a super sub no problem
England so arrogant. Rio really thinks that midfield would dominate a France, Portugal, Spain midfield for example. Come on.
It's NOT "England so arrogant". It's red-tinted Rio. He's one person NOT a nation. Act your age !
I realized everyone forgetting Spain
So one persons prediction equates to England being arrogant now? Wtf?
That midfield could dominate anyone. Its ur anti English views. Which alot of foreigners have
They aint dominating Rodri - Pedri and Gavi. @@andrewjoyce9038
Rio needs to chill out. I'd have Anthony Gordon on the left side.. been far better than Rashford or Grealish this season.
Let’s hope most of them get there without injury- that’s a real problem right now
Impressed with Rooney here.
Joe Gomez has to play
Foden on the left, Trent in the middle. Solves all the problems. Solidifies the midfield and gives Foden more strength. So obvious.
Did lescott describe him and Rooney as Coaches ...jaysus that's some Stretch
Im glad that they put foden in the midfield role than on the left. (WestHam fan)
Shaw won’t be fit, hard no for Maguire.
I don’t see Foden playing through the middle. Southgate will play him on the left. Add a more defensive midfielder alongside Rice and Bellingham.
seems criminal to not squeeze trent in there somehow
Definitely, need a bit more muscle in midfield! Foden and Saka get pushed off the ball too easily. An average French team did us in quarters of last World Cup and their physicality counted (it’s still part of the game). Most opponents of Zidane said it wasn’t just his skill, he was big, strong and tough.
Rooney is spot on with that midfield comment
sure Rashford should be included in the squad for writing essays
If only Robertson played for England, what a team this would be. And I don’t know if there’s a better midfield out there for the euros.
For me, it'd be Gordon on the left and Guéhi in for Maguire
Rashford was our top scorer at world cup off the bench cant lie always plays well for england .....first they hyped up grealish that year sterling turned up last world cup was foden but it was saka and rashy ....
James Maddison has to be in. Move Foden to the LW. Play Maddison at 10. Rice can play 6. Bellingham can play as an 8 who can sit with RIce when under pressure
Maddison is not a starter.
Exactly, weird that people are acting like bellingham doesn’t track back, defend and control a game. Probably haven’t even watched him and just assumed because he has loads of goals he cant do the defensive side. The guy has everything, just depends how he’s deployed
@@DanielS10291 same as Rice, he is an outstanding CDM yet people say there's no defence there?!?! Rice can play any CM role Bellingham can play CM or further forward attacking roles.
Bro camavinga,tchoumeni, griezmann and may be dembulence in midfield is no joke.
Foden should start on the left and we play Gallagher, Phillips or that young lad at united.
Trent and Rice as Cdm’s, Jude in the 10, Rashford and Foden share the left
Joe Gomez should be ahead of Shaw and Maguire. He plays every position better than those two
Rashford… looks great against Wales and Slovenia but when it comes to the crunch games against France and Germany, he doesn’t turn up.
I would put Trent in midfield and Foden on left. Rashford will be better as in impact sub because of his versatility.
They forgot Jack Butland. Guys in his prime right now.
I agree with the logic of Rashford being there. Have 2 of the front 3 who run towards the ball to receive it, need someone who runs in behind to through balls. But Rashford’s form shouldn’t be ignored so I would go with Gordon or Bowen.
The midfield needs balance, there’s no point people saying All these attacking midfielders like Maddison, Palmer and Foden. We need one defensive midfielder (like Rice or Mainoo) one box-to-box (like Bellingham or Palmer) and one playmaker (like Foden or Maddison).
I’d love someone like Branthwaite or Tomori to play but a cb partnership is as much about the relationship between the two players as it is about pure footballing ability and Southgate has refused to blood new players in previous friendlies. So Maguire probably has to start.
So my team would be:
Pickford,
Walker, Maguire, Stones, Shaw,
Bellingham, Rice, Foden,
Saka, Kane (c), Bowen.
Foden in that left wing position, push rice up and bring Trent in. Rice is great but will get caught as a lone CDM. Rotate Stones, Walker and Trent between RB, CB and CDM depending on the opposition. Stones and Trent more than capable in CDM, Stones and Walker solid CB’s, Trent and Walker solid RB’s. Also gives the option of switching between a back 3, 4 or 5 in game depending on what’s needed
Rice operates as a lone cdm for arsenal, he rarely gets caught
He really said Rashford 😂😂😂
Yet again no mention of RLC or Fikayo. Criminal punditry this.
Distribution from the back: it’s either Pickford hoofing it long or to Stones/Maguire who play it sideways to Shaw/Walker or Rice dropping deep who then plays it sideways to them or backwards. Then it’s slow down either wing, who get isolated in possession trying to come inside.
Kane doesn’t get the ball so has to drop deep to get the ball to playmake. Get a free kick/set piece to try and score from.
We know how it’ll end - QFs out on penalties because England can’t get the ball through midfield and create enough chances in the opposition penalty box.
- crazy - we have this every 2 years. England have never even got to a final at a euros or WC held overseas. Thinking just because we have Foden and Jude gives us a great chance of winning? Look at how long Portugal with Ronaldo and Argentina with Messi in their teams took to win a major trophy at international level. They were both in their 30s.
Did he just compare casimero on the decline to rice in his prime, the arsenal hate is rife in TNT 😂
Against the top teams
Casemiro has won more than Declan Rice has played game
Well, the difference is that Casemiro can actually play as a solo DM, while Rice has only played in a double pivot or as a Box to Box.
@@batofkrypton9765 That will still hold true in 10 years when Casimero will be nearly 50, still irrelevant to their form
Foden should play on the left to fit TAA in the midfield. Maguire shouldn't even be in the squad but its too late to gel another defensive partnership.
Trent needs to be in that midfield we win last 2 comps if he played in the mid
trent HAS to go in this team he without a shadow of a doubt adds the most to this team than any other player, foden on the left trent rcm bellingham lcm
Anyone who says Foden on the left does not know anything about football. Foden would be wasted on the left. He is twice the player being in the middle.
Wayne Rooney is talking sense and hes world class , other options dont matter
How does Rashford keep getting away with this 😂😂
At least Cara and Nev know what they are talking about it.
How Watkins hasn’t got a shout absolutely baffles me, can easily play across the front 3 and help with midfield where Rooney has doubts. Watkins over Rashford for me easily. Stats this season proves my point.
...Best England Lineup for Euro 2024 (4-2-3-1 Formation)
And i am U-19 Coach of indian football Team.........................Harry Kane
P. Foden J. Bellingham B. saka
D. Rice Jamesward Prowse
Colwill J. Branthwaite Stones Walker
Pickford
Without dictating in mid no silverware definitely..
Cole Palmer and Bowen?
Even rooney knows that midfield is getting ran through. There is a reason we got to the euro final with Rice and Kalvin Phillips. We need two holding midfielders to protect the weak back line.
We coming home soon in the Euros..
We should find a really charismatic coach who can persuade Mbappe that his gran was English. It worked for Big Jack.
With stones dropping into the midfield to push Jude further up the pitch.
Kane
Grealish Foden Saka
Rice Jude
Shaw Tomori Stones walker
Pickford
Foden Bellingham Rice be too open??? They are all workhorses, proper players and technically amazing. Sorry but remove Utd players, Tomori (or White would should be picked whatever the issues are) for Maguire, Tripper for Shaw, Gordon or Bowen for Rashford
since Foden is midfield LCM then it make sense LW Rashford
I would have put Foden on the left and Palmer in the middle. We can always change the game by putting Radford on the left for pace in the second half.
Pickford, Walker, Stones, (No idea), Chilwell, Rice, Trent, Bellingham, Foden, Kane, Saka. That has to be it.
Imagine Liverpool winning the league and none of our English players start the Euros 😂 Rio is delusional as always
what liverpool player goes in this eleven
@@I23454.Lmao exactly, the past few years all they've sent is Henderson and Trent
@@I23454.Quansar is a million miles ahead of Maguire lol
@@Sasha-qp8cb no
Arnold is always injured for international break, I can't recall another notable England player from Liverpool side. Harvey Elliot must play u21s
That team is winning absolutely f**k all
Rashford could make super sub if he's on form.
I prefer Gordon, Palmer or Bowen on the left wing, to start.
Foden as a no 10.
Bellyache and Mainoo running the midfield, with Rice behind.
It's crazy how Ben white doesn't get in this team ahead of maguire 😢
He doesn't want to be picked
Put foden on the left wing and put Alexander arnold on that midfield and its perfect 🎉
Has to be a midfield 3 of Bellingham, Rice, and Gallagher!
Different horses for different courses.
The squad should be:
Pickford/Ramsdale/Pope
Stones/Maguire/Walker/Chilwell/Trippier/Tomori/Brantwaithe
Bellingham/Rice/Palmer/TAA/Mainoo/Gallagher
Saka/Kane/Foden/Grealish/Rashford/Watkins/Bowen
Pickford
Walker/Stones/Maguire/Chillwell
Rice/Bellingham
Palmer
Saka/Kane/Foden
I think on left for more control need a Grealish ,Rashford is a good to but Grealish will be a better for this team
Portugal has to be in the mix a host of there players play in premier league
Southgate will probably play Henderson or Gallagher next to Rice with Bellingham playing a 10. Then rotate Foden and Rashford on the left.
It's not what I would do.. I'm not even sure Henderson gets in the reserves for me,
Rooney's is right on the money, there is not enough grit in that midfield, they could easily get overrun.
Rooney is actually spitting fax about the midfield here
I'm not English but to put Marcus in there is criminal 😂
That midfield is not strong enough defensively against the top teams.
Curtis Jones and Trent HAVE to be in the mix for the 3rd midfield spot and play foden on the left
Palmer can play out on that left Hand side and rotate with foden
Would love Rio to manage United next.
Wazza's right. Foden out to the left, cutting back in. Rice along side an other DM with Bellingham ahead in free role.
Foden should be an attacker not midfield
With that midfield the LW has to Grealish. He offers more defensively than Rashford
I think in reality Foden starts on the left with either Henderson or Gallagher alongside Bellingham and Rice. I’d love to see Foden centrally but nothing indicates Southgate sees it that way.
agreed, Id love to see White as RB or CB option but in reality Southgates not picking him. Missed opportunities on both selections.
Anthony Gordon on the left ffs hell even Foden and Maddison can go too!
Gonna be honest I think Phil should play as a LW and Maddison cm
The current England squad should win the Euros. Anything less is a failure. Based on finances, infrastructure, grass roots, sports science, population size etc England are by far the most underachieving national team in history. For all their advantages they haven’t won much over the years.
Nonsense. Those all mean diddly squat. Winning tournaments comes down to having a good 14-15 players, consistency, good understanding, balance, good tactical coaching and belief and environment. Few injuries and disruptions helps. By your crazy logic China would win everything.
Germany has 16 million more people
@@alfiegoff96 which proves my point that countries with larger populations have an advantage. Germany have won it 4 times. England have 5th largest population in Europe, but have never won it…
Midfield should be Rice, Mainoo and Bellingham
Saka / Kane / Foden
Then Foden will come off when he inevitably doesn’t play very well for england. They need an impact player with speed who can run in behind like Rashford / Gordon / Watkins
Also have Maddison as rotation for Jude. And Gallagher for Kobi
Foden on the wing with Saka, play Tomori with Maguire and Stones in a double pivot with Rice whilst Jude sits just behind Kane. I’d keep the rest the same.
