The Soccer Saturday panel discussed who Gareth Southgate should pick for England's first game at Euro 2024.
England laboured to an uninspiring 2-0 win over Malta at Wembley on Friday, with only a late Harry Kane goal adding gloss to an otherwise poor performance.
Gareth Southgate's side had been hit by a series of injuries in the build-up to the European Championship Qualifier dead-rubber but this was a terrible display from a team with ambitions of winning the tournament in Germany next summer.
Qualification may have already been assured and top spot in Group C was sealed but this performance won't have impressed anyone questioning this team's credentials of going all the way at the Euros.

Not even a Liverpool fan, but the TAA disrespect is unreal!
i think he has to be in midfield with rice and bellingham. He will unlock our attacking players so well and can cover at right back when they've pushed forward
Who do you want defending Mbappe? Trent or Walker?
its a freaking joke .. the best deliverer of the ball since beckham and set piece specialist and a mention k,yes we know taa is dodgy at defending but a deliverin that ball into the box is wold class ..the likes of those old fashion centre forwards would have loved the likes of taa in there squad thats fo sure
@@TheDandonianWalker. 100%. Then i would put TAA in midfield. Everyone’s a winner.
Trent, Kane, Bellingham and Foden are our most talented players and a good manager SHOULD be able to get all 4 of them in the side and make it work
Finally someone who hasn’t said saka
Foden is a fantastic player but sorry for England against top teams hasn’t done much for his country. If he plays as well as he does for city then 💯would be in team
@@no1arab502 Outpayed france in the WC? Almost the entire second half france were confined to their third.
Walker is our best RB by a country mile and the only fast defender that we have. He's absolutely nailed on.
@@TheDandonianno cause the thing is we can play Trent as a midfielder and Leave Maddison out because Maddison has been good but I think he plays better coming off of the bench and Foden starts 100% because somebody asked who plays more out foden and grealish and doku and it is clearly foden.
I'm shocked pundits still seem to consider Bellingham a box to box midfielder. He's an attacking midfielder and for me personally I would play Rice and Trent in the holding midfield positions with trent playing a deep lying playmaker.
If you're playing Bellingham you're playing him higher up the pitch and you can't play Maddison or Foden in midfield.
Totally agree, 4231 Bellingham in the free flowing 10, you have to build around this kid
Madders is in great form but Bellingham is the future of our team
He played in a double-pivot role at Dortmund. That's where he made his name. He's a No 8 naturally....who can equally play as well as a CAM/No10. Jude's gonna be a generational talent......he is a generational talent.
@@groovetraxxxgingerbreadman1282 yes but he only played there because that's what the team called for. Look what he's doing at Madrid in the 10
@@groovetraxxxgingerbreadman1282 he's 10× better in the 10 than the 8
@@groovetraxxxgingerbreadman1282 he can play anywhere on the pitch and be good
I think if we could see a midfield three of Alexander Arnold,Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham
Midfield diamond
Rice saka grealish, belligol
Kane and sterling/foden/gordon up top
Trent can't defend 😂 that midfield would get run down !
@@Footieheritagehow would it? Rice and Bellingham can run all day, so I’d play Trent along side Rice as a deep lying playmaker spraying passes about when England have the ball with Jude just in front, then without the ball trent drops in deeper beside Rice, that would work imo and Trent has won everything playing right back so to say he can’t defend is nonsense
@@Footieheritagethe team they picked with Maddison would be the midfield that gets all ran over, there would be to many gaps
@@jamesphillips7885 what 😂
Are you saying we go with 3-4-3 diamond with no wing-backs? Are you insane?
i would actually put Trent in the team because in the whole England squad the is know one who can pick a pass like Trent ......... sure Maddison can do it but Trent can make passes that penetrate opposing team defence from a long range which most players cant do in England
kane?
I agree. The match the other night....he was the only player trying to create openings for the England front line. If you have Kyle Walker or Reese James at the back they are so quick that the cover will be behind the midfield. Trent has the ability to open up defences probably more than anyone.
Trippier?
Danny Mills has no business being there. That take on Trent was criminal
City fan
Mills stole a living...
Havent got to that bit but if its the fact trent is on e of the worst defenders in the prem i agree
@@leehaslam5751 that why he been one of best this season 10 goals only
@@andrewwright4195 lol yes uve convinced me hes a brilliant defender for fcuks sake
Of course Danny Mills won't pick Trent who is surprised.
Foden starts in any team in the world, any day of the week.
Goes missing in the big games
@@reevo129your talking out your ass, have a look at his stats against the “ big 6” he’s got 5 contributions against them all at least
@@reevo129you are saying that just to say that
8:18
This England TEAM does NOT have many WINNERS, TAA is one of the few that's WON EVERY SINGLE MAJOR Trophy with his Club. He would be THE 1st NAME on the Team sheet- NOT for his defending, but his ABILITY to WIN!!!
And for his playmaking. Imo best creative player in the world rn(KDB injured)
I'll think you'll find that Walker, James, Stones, Grealish, Foden, and Sterling all won major honours. By the time the Euros come around, then you could also add Kane, Lewis, and Bellingham to that list as well.
@@paulaustin7940feel free to add Lewis to that list, won the treble last season
This agrument of 'good players win trophies' is utterly pathetic. Kane is a phenominal player but he was loyal to spurs. now he is in Gemrnay we are seeing his potential, but you lot whine 'He HaSn'T wOn aNyThiNG!' good TEAMS win trophies. How many superstars did Leicter city have?
It's a terrible excuse made by the dimwitted.
the trent hate is unbelievable, arguably the most talented player in our whole squad and all he gets is disrespect.
It just makes trent even better everytime they get on his back let them carry on it benefits Liverpool more ! Agreed he's by far the most talented player in this sqaud although Bellingham is running it extremely close this season
Bellingham, foden and stones are way more talented than trent
@@bluemoon1716 ye mate of course they are
Most talented....!? You must be scouse
Trent has remarkable talent but saying he's arguably the most talented is bit of an exageration.
blaming ten hag for rashford's form laughable this punditry
How Ten Hag affects on how far Rashford will reach as football player. Maybe the thruth just is, that Harry Kane would always stay as the better striker from the two, so thats why Rashford starts from the bench in euro 2024.
Danny Mills showing his true hatred towards anything related to Liverpool FC, at least hes consistent
. Pickford
Walker. Stones. Colwill
James
Trent. Rice
Saka Bellingham Foden
Kane
Its an elbow back 4 giving James agency to get forward, if James is injured as always.. Trippier slots straight in. Colwill at LB gives you the height needed from set pieces lost by playing Walker RCB. Saka can stay forward with Trent & James both in behind, Foden can come short to pick up the ball leaving space in behind for Jude to occupy
I really like that take 👍
Nice but Two left foot wingers ?
Colwill is not a better left back than Luke Shaw
Swap Pickford for Pope and maybe get one of the right backs at left back, Trippier does the deep playmaker role a fair bit at Newcastle when hes not making forward runs. Otherwise pretty spot on. Also surely Fikayo Tomori deserves a go over Maguire
Nice squad set up
STERLING IS SO DISRESPECTED, he’s been our best player in tournaments. FACTSSSS
Must of missed those games please remind me
The guys playing in his position are too good leave out. Saka and Foden.
@@hahahaha-nt3ynfoden got a goal and 3 assists in 4 starts for Eng at the wc. Even Gareth found a way to play him. The disrespect.
@@leehaslam5751 who scored goals to take England to the euros final ?
@@AbbasAbdulRaheemMuhammed foden played 29 games for England and only scored 4 goals,dont even bring up his England stats because it's horrible, remember he's always on the bench for a reason.
Wow, could the Sky Sports presenter not be any more bias against Newcastle players and pro Man United. All 5 of the guests say Trippier and then he says 'I've got the deciding vote so it's Luke Shaw'. What a knob.
I know I'm furious
Pickford, Walker, Stones, Tomori, Tripper, Alexander Arnold, Rice, Bellingham, Saka, Foden, Kane
@user-tn8uu2cu8g Do you know that meaning of witness, witness mean you saw the reality by own eyes, you believe that Quaranic Allah is God, you believe that Muhammed is Rasul, it's not proven, how would you be claiming as a witness, I read the Quran with tapsir ibne kathir and ibne abbas, tranceled by abdullaah yusuf ali, your Quran is fake, it was not coming from Devine, Allah is fake God that's why Quraan has so many scientific errors.
Tomori AINT good enough
@@MultiBurger1and Maguire is? Lol
@@MultiBurger1you dizzy fam 🤣🤦🏿♂️
Ben White?@@MultiBurger1
Maddison is not that great defensively either. He's very good at carrying the ball and looking for a pass, but is his passing ability better than Trent's...I don't think so. Not to have a player of Trent's ability in that England squad is a big mistake. He doesn't necessarily have to start, but if you need a spark, a goal to happen, he's an ideal player to bring off the bench.
I love watching Soccer Saturday, because it's a reminder that even 'experts' are basically no better than your mate down the pub. How can you select Grealish, who hasn't done much this season over Foden, whose played more games domestically this year, scored goals unlike Grealish, and is generally a better player for England? And then Danny Mills, who has never ever said anything useful, suggests leaving Alexander Arnold at home. Madness. Not only that, but they lay claim that Maddison should be in because he's played well, yet they go for Shaw over Trippier.
we're not solid at the back because we have Maguire with zero recovery pace. Throw in someone like Dunk, White, Fik or Guehi. Also, I like Levi Colwill at LB, cause he has the natural talent of defending well, assuming Shaw is injured.
You've got no clue or you just have a Southgate agenda Maguire has made it to every team of the tournament at a major tournament and is always one of England's best players you name Tomori dunk did you see those lot in the friendly against Australia 🤦
Shaw is crap lol
@@HarryKanee keep saying that when Maguire makes a big error to once again cost us games in the latter stages of the tournament.
@@dankwaifu yes sir, 100% a pen. Defo got away with it
@@faybooth1502shaw is the best lb in the prem
Saying that Henderson should play over Trent in midfield is absolutely wild. Did some people pick up a coma four years ago and have only just woken up now? It's not 2019 anymore and Henderson is not only physically finished, he's not even playing in Europe anymore
Saka, Bellingham, Kane and Rice untouchable
Bowen > Saka
Foden >>>>>>
Wake up please
The France squad is more balanced and better than the English squad.
No one said anything bro.
No
Prove it.
@@KPVTHEJUDGMENTDAYWWEWhat no?? France B team can beat England's first team hands down 😂
France better at cb. Balanced midfield. England better front 3 for me.
Raheem Sterling and Ben White should be in the squad
Never been a fan of Mills and this is nail in coffin saying Trent should not be in the Euro squad what a pundit lol!
My team.
Pickford
Tripper, Stones, Gheui, Walker
Rice, Bellingham, Foden
Sterling, Kane, Saka
Arguably I’d play Trent in CAM or Maddison
Perfect answer. Exactly what I had - maybe Gordon and Palmer to rotate when needed for optimum fitness
Gotta build that midfield around Jude. Rice as a 6 and Gallagher as an 8 would bring great balance around him and free him up to play higher
Trent is an unbelievable footballer. He's as good as De Bruyne from a creativity perspective. This lad is an all-time Premier League great in terms of attacking full-backs.
He doesn't have great defensive instincts, however. He gets caught out of position, or doesn't react quick enough in defensive moments.
I like him.
no where near good as KBD stop the disrespect ffs, trent is class for what he does. Hes game and KDB no where near the same. your just going off long passes lmaoo zero footy knowledge
@aaronbaker8173 I didn't say he was as good as him, or that their games are the same.
I said that from a creativity perspective, he's as good as De Bruyne. Different. But as good.
He's not as good as KDB creatively. He's better at certain things sure. Specifically, whipping a cross in from out wide, set pieces and pings. But creatively, as in creating chances for teammates De Bruyne is a cut above everyone. Just the combination of his vision and execution of passes, plus his burst of acceleration and touch. Trent's technical ability is so high but he's not on par with De Bruyne creatively. De Bruyne's also just a more complete player. If you played him deeper next to a player like Rodri or Rice he'd be more defensively solid than Trent imo. Obviously we don't get to see him there because he's so good as a 10. But there's no position in the midfield where Trent could do a job as good as De Bruyne. That's not a slight on Trent though. De Bruyne's just that good.
@Anon97123 He plays in a different position, Trent's a full back (who can play in midfield), so naturally not as good in midfield (similarly KDB isn't as good at full back). Perhaps he's not quite as good as KDB, but his assist contribution, relative to the fact he plays as a right back, is nearly as good as De Bruyne. As you pointed out, Trent's creativity come in a different form (deep playmaking, right wing deliveries). I think my overall point stands.
@@conordelaney76 sure. I like him too. I just don't think he's as creative as De Bruyne. It's like me saying I don't think Dani Alves was as creative as Messi for Barca. Dani Alves was about as creative as it gets for a fullback. Insane assist numbers aswell and also got a little stick defensively like Trent. But some players are just different. There's a cap to how creative you can be from fullback. Just like there's a cap to how good of a goalscorer you can be from defence. Ramos scored a ridiculous number of goals from CB. But I wouldn't say he was as good of a goalscorer than Ronaldo just because he's the best goalscorer from his position.
Trent's technical ability is very high and he's very creative. But he's not as creative as De Bruyne because De Bruyne gets more assists and creates more chances. That's what being creative means. How many goals/potential goals are you creating for the team. Yes. A midfielder is more creative than a fullback. The most creative midfielder is more creative than the most creative fullback. Trent's now made the move to midfield and De Bruyne is still a more creative midfielder than him.
At the end of the day...Trent bring something different in this team which southgate acknowledges..He obviously is gonna play
Do not disrespect Trent, that guy is the missing piece in England midfield....He can play well Right sided 8 if walker overlaps he can drop in defense. He is a better passer than Maddison
The most arrogant take from Sherwood to say England are by far the best squad. Acting like this team is Brazil 82 or Spain 2012. Like chill, some really great players but there is no class CBs only stones and even then beyond him not really any great CBs. CMs and DMs are very light beyond Rice and Bellingham, no real world class players there. No deep lying Playmaker in the mould of a Thiago/Kroos in the team The only area where England are blessed is attack and right back. All other positions are not world class the way the they are making the team sound.
France and Portugal have a more balanced squad of really great players across the board. Both these squads have great Midfielders (Tchouameni Camavinga Griezemann Bruno Bernardo Neves Palhinha) England only have Bellingham and Rice, that ain't enough. CBs as well England are not really blessed with any current class elite level CB, again only Stones. Portugal and France between them have (Lucas Hernandez Saliba Upamecano Kounde Dias Inàcio Danilo Antonio Silva) The only position England is better than Portugal and France is Striker (Kane) and Fullback (Walker James Trippier TAA)
All other positions are arguable.
Don't forget Adrien Rabio and Ibrahim Konatae of France too.......who are also 1st team starters..
Not to be rude, but it's Tim Sherwood. Can't take anything he says seriously.
Trent is a champions league winner and premier league!!!! No ratings
What about your best substitutes bench as well. Coming on & C- off as well.?
It's not all about the starting 11, it's also the subs who come on, so foden, maddison, grealish, Trent and rashford will all be involved at different times of the game.
Raheem Sterling should make the squad
Good one
TBF he's been to 5 major tournament and only performed in Euro 2020 other than that I haven't seen much from him in major tournaments
@@HarryKanee So you think Trashford and Grealish are better options? Lool
@@groovetraxxxgingerbreadman1282 I'm not sure about that left side tbh
@@HarryKaneesterling over grealish everyday😂😂,foden being a flop for England but he's debatable with sterling.
Kane Bellingham Foden Saka
That front 4 is scary
With Rice and Trent behind in CM + Stones and Walker / James CB and RB - all we need now is a better LB, CB, GK but tbf Trippier / Shaw, Maguire and Pickford can do a job.
Foden doesn't get into the top teams in ze world.
@@thefacelessquestion3333yes h does he’s at a top team himself
@@abdihassan2426he doesn't do anything for England for 2 years you're clearly blind
@andrewwright4195
I’m yet to see Foden do anything in an England shirt at a tournament.
Always Foden over Grealish on the left!
Grealish has become a bit of a one trick pony in recent times - teasing up the left but nearly always passing back and moving inside.
He's become too predictable most of the time... 🤷♂️
Grealish will start in Man City’s big games this season.
@@johndixon7007 So will Foden.
Why would you even mention Grealish before Sterling? Grealish has done sod all in an England shirt. Sterling after Saka is our best winger. In terms of goals/assists Saka...Foden and especially Grealish can't touch him. Foden can do a job on the flanks....but he's better playing as a CAM/No10....IMHO.
@@groovetraxxxgingerbreadman1282 I totally agree - Sterling must be there!
But they were arguing about Foden vs Grealish on the left for the last spot, and for me - between those two Grealish is a non-starter.
@@neilcreamer8207 not when De Bruyne is back
its tough u have trent who can invert for a double pivot or stones can push into the midfield
either way works just depends who u value more
Rick Lewis is the future of midfield with rice and Bellingham. I’d also have stones in there over Philips but we need him at the back
I’m shocked Foden isn’t one of the first names on the team sheet along with Bellingham. England’s two best players.
Poor punditry!
Rice is key is Southgate wants to show he can get the most out of the England XI.
Foden is our best left attacking winger (I know some would argue Sterling is) but can also play off the right wing. Unless he's an impact sub Grealish should start deeper out wide, or England won't produce their best football imo. And I wouldn't discount Rashford as a left forward, at least it's someone for Kane to link up with as we know he likes doing.
If Chamberlain was in form he could partner Bellingham, but its a good option to have Maddison as a 10, how England interchange on the left is something that is make or break for Southgate. Luke Shaw could really thrive this Euros.
Hows dan burn and pope not been given a look in for england they were both on paper along with trippier apart of the best defence statistically last season
Up front - Rashford/Kane/Saka
Midfield - Rice/Bellingham/Trent for a start.
Rashford!! Absolutely useless this year like the last year!! Stick to Politics
1 goal in 16 games and you want Rashford in there??? Foden, Grealish, Sterling easily
They need system to utilize these gems
even in international football foden position is an issue, they keep saying he must be the in the 11 but cant decide were he should play, the position of right wing he cant cause of saka and left wing has a revolving door that even sterling if he has a good season i could see coming straight in cause him and saka work better with kane than foden and grealish plus if rashford doesn't get form he shouldn't go. the biggest debate really is who plays with rice and jude. if gallagher keeps up this form for the whole season he deserve a shout. i would say trent should play as it give you that passing machine to ping balls anywhere and give more option on crosses and set pieces
How is Maguire not even discussed 😮
I think they're afraid of being considered to be piling on and making Gareth Southgate throw another tantrum.
Foden should be in this squad
Foden is a squad player for city - should be a squad player for England and start on the bench and not in starting 11.
Criminal. Along with Bellingham he’s England’s best player and most technically gifted.
@@VoiceOfThe really , how is Kane doing and foden position is RW for city unfortunately for him Saka is better.
@@DavidLawlor-ci8wzhe's not a squad player , he's played nearly every game this season .
@@darrenwarby32 you watch foden yesterday against Liverpool . Love his pace , direct approach , defensive duties , aerial ability and one on one take ons.

GK: Pickford
RB: Walker
CB: Stones
CB: Southgate will pick Maguire so it's not even worth talking about tbh
LB: Shaw
DM: Rice
DM: Bellingham
AM: Foden or Maddison
RW: Saka
ST: Kane
LW: Sterling
People won't like it but it's what will work on the pitch. The one thing we need to learn from the golden generation is not just cramming the best names on the pitch at the same time. You play the guys that will work together best. I love Grealish as a player. But he likes the ball to feet. Pep uses him to slow down the game at City. Kane's too similar. Kane likes dropping in to recieve the ball and pick out passes. You want him to be flanked by runners who are direct, trying to get in behind. Goalscorers basically. Grealish may be a better player than Sterling. But Sterling's more suited to playing with Kane and more suited to playing tournament football where you want goalscorers on the pitch. Grealish is also the best type of sub to have. Grealish has played his best football for England coming off the bench and making all the fans outraged that he isn't starting. Whilst Sterling has also got hate for starting before and then come up with the goals like in the Euros. He's also upped his game this season. He takes risks with his take ons and passes so his ball retention isn't as high as someone like Grealish. That stuff gets clipped and gets him hate but the fact is he's direct and scores goals. I really think he's our best option off the left.
Think Foden's best position is in that attacking midfield role. He's been immense there for City since De Bruyne got injured. Maddison was also class there at the start of the season but he's been injured, meanwhile Foden has played. I also think Foden's one of our most naturally gifted players and is more likely to come up with something special when we need him to. Maddison offers more defensively and is better off set pieces though so I'm not fussed if Southgate goes with him. Our depth at AM is so good.
Bellingham is obviously best as an AM but he's also a really good box to box. Was our best player in the World Cup next to Rice. It's a choice between that or playing Bellingham in the 10, shifting Foden to LW and playing someone like Mainoo next to Rice. I just think the team would function better with Bellingham next to Rice, Foden or Maddison in the 10 and Sterling LW. My opinion. The people acting like Bellingham can't play next to Rice as if we didn't see it at the World Cup or for Dortmund don't know what they're talking about.
Lastly, I wouldn't be opposed to Palmer coming in for Saka. Saka's been better for longer so he's got the RW locked down for now. But people don't realise just how good Palmer is. I honestly think he's been as good as Foden this season. He's more creative than Saka, he's added goals to his game and he's an excellent penalty taker, which is important in international tournaments.
Trent next to Rice is an option but it just doesn't give me the confidence Rice-Bellingham does. Trent can run a game but we may not need that with players like Rice, Bellingham, Foden, Palmer, Kane etc. And I just think in a tough game against France, Trent could get bypassed in the midfield. It's a risk and I don't think we need to take it, given everyone we have at our disposal. Defensive solidity is the number 1 priority in international tournaments. Trent's a phenomenal player though. He's 100% on the plane and if Southgate goes with him in midfield I'm not complaining.
A fit Reece James is just next level, he's the guaranteed starting RB.
Grealish starting? In what world, he's behind Foden, Rashford, Sterling, Bowen, heck even Palmer currently. He offers nothing goal contribution wise. His ball retention and work rate, thats about it.
The only thing the Malta game should of convinced you of was that Trent doesn't work in midfield, every time he had the ball, he was dispossessed, every time he shot on goal, he booted it half way to Germany, absolutely no work rate. A few good long passes and everyone thinks "Trent is the answer in midfield". There's a reason he has to be moved to midfield, because he can't do his job at full back, now you want to add more defensive responsibility to him in midfield.
What are you waffling about? Trent was our best player against Malta ???
@@emy948 funny that Liverpool fans just jump to the "Chelsea takes", when its everyones take that isn't a biased Liverpool fan.
Trent Rice and Jude is the best midfield 3 of any nation atm. 3 incredibly talented players that can provide so much creativity and control in midfied
These people are delusional for not even putting Trent in the squad, that's just crazy!
I'd take Walker over Trent for this team any day. The attacking group is strong enough. To win a tournament, you need to be strong defensively. Trent is fantastic going forward, but his defensive liability is too high.
Props to Matt Damin coming in between filming new Jason Bourne movies. I salute you.
Walker needs to be starting, the only person who can push him close is reece James
Agree with Sherwood that we have the best squad. Not sure why Dan Burn isn't getting a look at LB.
Loftus Cheek would be a good shout to come back into the England midfield. A trio of him, rice and Bellingham is formidable and dangerous
Now there's a wild card. As much as I would LOVE to agree, the question is, can he perform like he used too.
I would also like to see Deli-Ali come back now he seems to have tackled his mental health problems and come out on top, but he can't even get a game for everton because of their contract with spurs so we have another heavyweight just gathering dust out of practice.
@@Whoami691 yea rlc has been performing well for Milan and he even picked up some form before he left Chelsea. Maybe it’s a long shot for him to come back now, but not a bad left field shout. Yea Dele Alli’s full comeback will take a while but would be great for him
@@Prince-je8dh mate when it comes to the left wing I think we have enough to fill the hole, it's out on the right we seem to have more issues.
TAA I would pick as in the right back position yes you can question his defending but he makes up for it by being a attacking threat. When TAA plays for England in midfield I don't feel like he has the space or time to pick out good passes often and is wasted and forced to play side or back passes mostly. In his normal position TAA will have the time and freedom to do whatever he wants on the ball.
I would start by leaving Southgate at home.

Left has to be Sterling!
Trent, Rice, Jude is way more balanced than Madders, Rice, and Jude. Especially if you want to get the best out of Jude.
Suprised there isn't more debate about the goalkeeper.
Seeing Foden's form now, that guy was right about Foden England needs him
Talk about ENG being weak in defence and then proceeds to say we don't need 2 CM sitters. ENG would be ripped apart against the better teams. Rice/Phillips win the ball back, which means were attacking and they both can go forward, while one sits (especially Rice).
Charisma guy southgate would field 1 keeper and 10 defenders if he could. Also france definitely have the best squad
What a ridiculous pundits these guys are ... Especially that bold guy who thinks cole palmer is better player now then Trent because he scored a penalty in the game against city.. wooow..
Mills is a Knob ..
Kane, Foden, Jude, and Saka
That should be the front four if we want to win this tournament.
Instead we will get a very defensive side with Henderson, Philips, and Maguire in the starting 11...
That'll still be the front 4 tho. It'll be a 4231
Pickford
Walker
Stones
Maguire
Shaw
Rice

Bellingham

How are you blaming Ten Hag for Rashford’s poor form? Is he supposed to carry him and the ball into the goal? Agenda
Facts
@@user-tn8uu2cu8g so to become a Muslim I need to honor and recognise both Mohammed and Allah equally?
Trent is so good on the ball idk why ppl hate all he needs to do tighten up defensively an he’s solid af
Liverpool don't concede many goals so where are you getting this info from that trent is a bad defender? Is it because the sky sports team always say he's shite? That's what I'm picking up
Not the eleven he picked against Malta . That’s one thing for sure !
Maddison over Foden is INSANE.
Pickford
Trent Walker stones shaw
Maddison rice Bellingham
Saka Kane foden
Trent to tuck in as an inverted fullback into midfield. Walker for the pace at the back.
How does Maguire go over Tomori
Tomori hasn’t performed the best for England yet. Say what you want about Maguire, but he has a better track record.
Tomori isnt good enough Guehy and Dunk are better
If England isnt playing trent and foden they dont even deserve to win, how can you leave your best players out? If you have Bellingham you dont need Grealish starting, you need faster wingers, Saka is perfect and Foden starting on the left would make a lot more sense. Trent is the most creative player, he is your best shot at creating a goal in a super tight and close knockout game.
My Team would be;
GK: Pickford
RB: Walker
CB: Stones
CB: Tomori
LB: Tripper
DM: Rice
CM: Bellingham
CM: Foden
RW: Saka
ST: Kane
LW: Grealish
Why we asking her what she thinks as she ever played in a World Cup I’ve never heard off her
TAA over any England midfield other than Bellingham. Sterling over any England left sider
Jwp has trent passing ability and actually plays in midfield
No where close to as good as Trent in everything else though
@Slesaint17 yeah apart from pressing and tackling, what is what England need
Trent not in squad? LOL I would consider a START wtf... And FODEN /WALKER is a START atm.
Anyone that thinks Foden shouldn't start for England, knows nothing about football. Kane Bellingham and Foden first names on the team sheet!
Pickford Trippier Stones Maguire Shaw Maddison Rice Bellingham Foden Kane Grealish
England manager's seem to fear or not trust creative or unorthodox midfielders, i.e. Hoddle, Gazza, Waddle, Grealish etc
Gareth didn’t add Anthony Gordon, Ward-Prowse, Nick Pope…. That’s crazy 😅
Pope can cope Forget it
In my opinion, Foden and Grealish are better than Saka and Madison.
Nobody even mentioned Tomori in defense. Nobody.
Southgate hates him
Cause he aint good enough
Same old RUBBISH- Football is COMING HOME about every single major- even with all this TALENTS to chose from, it'll NEVER happen with Southgate as Manager
Prefer Conor, rice and Jude Bellingham. I will triple at the left back. Play James at the right back. Play walker and stone at the center back. I will play sterling Kane and Saka.
foden has to play for france or spain,,,,he doesnt have enough respect from england
Chilwell not being mentioned for left back is weird
Sleeping on Chilly-B.
Kyle Walker doesn't play centre back in a back four
Trent's passing range is such a bonus. I'd take a gamble & start him
How can you have Stones name there when Maguire is the first name on the team sheet
GK Pickford
RB Trippier CB Stones CB Tomori LB Shaw
RDM Trent LDM Rice
RM Saka CAM Bellingham LM Rashford
ST Kane
Southgates team he will pick not the best but thats how I think he will go.
Pickford,
Walker,Stones,Maguire,
Shaw
Rice,Henderson,Bellingham
Saka,Kane,Rashford
Henderson!? Ok i wanna hear you justify this. TAA should take hendersons spot.
Southgate would be an absolute idiot to play a normal 4-3-3 given how well Jude has preformed at CAM for Madrid, Jude at CAM and Kane at ST sounds absolutely insane
Don't know about lately but in the world cup it seemed when Foden and Kane were somewhat close, they seemed to always do something clever and then within about 10 seconds the ball was in the back of the net. I'm unable to see why England has Maguire in their lineup and maybe in their team - he is extremely clumsy, doesn't mark his man well and seems poor with the ball - I have noticed that defenders that are known for pushing/stepping into the tackle and are good with the head seem to get way more credit than they deserve. We had a guy like that on our team who was way more coordinated than Maguire and he played center half and a new coach played him at center back and everyone but me thought he was great there but he was getting accolades for yelling, stepping into tackles and heading the ball. I noticed however that his actual defending was not good. We went into an FA cup equivalent and also went up a league and he caused us a goal in 5 straight games cuz he just kept getting burned while stepping into tackles and attackers making him look terrible. He eventually was moved back into the half and was a good player again. If Maguire was on my team ( I wouldn't pick him ), I would save him and play him if there was 20 minutes down and we had pressure so he could go up for headers ... I'm not an expert on English defenders but I question whether he is good enough for the P league but can't seriously believe there is no one better for England there in mid D ...
Love Grealish but he seems overrated a bit and I wonder if that is just because he has the likeability factor. We had a guy like Grealish on our team and he was known by some as 'the best player that has never done anything' since he never scored or got assists but everyone agreed he was great lol ...
Coach doesn't seem to be 'clever' - I used to say that England's problem was a lack of clever players (this was after they finally realized they shouldn't punt the ball down the wing to the opposing defender on every possession) - now England has a great mix of players, some talent, some cleverness, some grit, some speed, some athleticism, some finishing touch and IMHO if they had a better coach they would have won Euros last time ...
The thing about maguire is we know he CAN be phenominal, because he was - 3 years ago, the most expensive defender in EPL history.
But mentally the guy has utterly imploded, every mistake he makes just crushes his mentality further and leaving him more vulnurable to another mistake. My theory is southgate keeps playing him n the hopes he will get that one moment, a goalline clearence, a winning save, or a vital header, and his mentality will begin to recover.
The problem with a player like maguire is we have seen what he CAN do... but he just isn't doing it anymore, so do we leave him out for a more consistant defender like Dunk for example? Or do we stick with it and try to get him back to what he was? It's a rough call, but i think if he was going to improve, he would have done so. Southgate says he is on for 'experiance' but what can he do that walker, stones or shaw can't?
Play TAA at right midfield with Walker at RB and Trippier at LB. Saka at RW, Jude as the 10 and Kane obviously upfront. It’s between Foden and Grielish for LW and the better footballer is Foden. But there are two problems with him: he’s more RW than LW and he drifts into the central spaces that belong to Bellingham (undoubtedly England’s best baller). So you might have to go with the ‘inferior’ option of Grielish in the starting XI.
But really it’s squad game. No need to settle on a cast in stone XI and stick with that all tournament. Having the likes of Foden, Maddison, Saka, Grielish, TAA, Stones, Shaw, Trippier, Rice, Henderson, Walker etc all in rotation basically makes England the strongest squad of Euro 2024. It’s really up to Southgate to harness all that rich talent
Pickford Pope Ramsdale
Walker/Trippier Stones Maguire (yes he's good this season don't say otherwise) Shaw
Trent/Maddison/Bellingham/Rice/Foden all 5 can be switched in midfield
Saka Gordon Grealish Rashford
Kane and Toney
