Shock decision to leave Lineker on the bench, but outstanding performance from the front two.
STOP TRYING TO SQUEEZE EVERY PLAYER IN.
Good job they didn't replace him with Alan Smith.
Lineker only played x2 European Championships, 1988 & 1992...England failed to qualify from group stages in either tournament,....

I was not prepared for that Roy Keane easy jet story. 😂😂😂😂
What was funny ?
@@peterb1783The Roy Keane story, Pete. Relax.
You don’t have to keep trying to squeeze players in. Find the best players in each position that compliments the system. England just have a load of attacking midfielders, just play the best ones, stop trying to stick them out of position just to squeeze them in. No wonder there’s no balance
We spent years doing that with Lampard, Gerrard and Scholes…you’d think we’d have learnt our lesson
@@GIBBO4182
They all could have played together, the problem was forcing David Beckham because of his celebrity status.
Finally the voice of reason
@@bl4ckkn1g8t5trust me, I’m no Beckham fanboy, but at least he WAS in his right position
We have:
Bellingham - a world class 8 or 10
Foden - a world class 10
Rice - a world class 6/8 hybrid
Those 3 could easily play together if we played Watkins instead of Kane up front OR played Kane with Saka and Gordon as the wide options offering pace in behind to stretch teams.
Alternatively, we have a tempo setting midfielder in Wharton who could play alongside Rice, freeing him up to push on as a box to box 8. Then it’s simply a choice between Foden or Bellingham (or Palmer) at 10. Whoever isn’t picked can come off the bench and also apply pressure on the selected option to perform.

Great performance from Alan leading the line, Micah solid as ever and Gary comes on at the end for the tap in 😆
The fact that these two are running the pod this episode while Gary is having a nap is hilarious 😂😂
He’s hungover, he’s been out drinking with Rooney , he did a earlier podcast

@@Rafflewafflez no he wasn't. He is actually that sad
Gareth is compromising the balance & integrity of several other positions by persisting with Jude in the 10, when he isn’t even a 10 🤦♂️ He’s literally a natural 8, a boss, a bully, a general that would dominate the heart of the midfield with Rice. Gareth is just making problems where there aren’t any. Jude plays with Rice, no brainer, Phil in the 10, no brainer, Gordon left, no brainer.
I agree with this 100%. Puts all those 3 players in the BEST positions
@@GIBBO4182go to 3 at the back Walker , Stones , Guehi .. Dm Rice .. Rm Saka , Cm Bellingham & Palmer , Lm Gordon .. # 10 Foden .. Cf Kane .

You can remove any individual part, yet the machine keeps rolling. Fair play! Well done guys. Great pod as always!
Happy birthday big meeks❤
Love hearting a man you don't know is hella weird
Really love the end bit 😂 quality humour, tossers 😂😂😂
Cole Palmer finished the season so well. He shoukd start
Where on earth could he possibly start that would make sense? You need players who fit a system instead of shoehorning them in. The reason England haven't been at their best so far isn't that they don't have quality as good as Palmer...
100 %
Young Player Of The Season
He starts ahead of Saka for me on the right
Played well today put saka left back FFS
Gary was excellent in the episode.
Always brings a smile while sat in the garden having a cuppa, keep up the good work
Class lads!!! Hope you had a good bday Micah.
Laughed , loved it you 3 are great 😂
Palmer doesn’t solve the problem. Saka plays on the right and he does a good job. The things we need, in order of priority, are:
1. Control in the midfield
2. A viable structure on the left of the pitch
3. A coherent press
4. A threat in behind the line of defence, someone who can get defenders running towards their own goal
5. A plan about what to do when Pickford has the ball at his feet under no pressure. Do we kick long? If so, when? Do we play out? If so, when? It hasn’t looked like anyone knows the answer to those questions.
As for the answers:
1. I think Wharton is the man. He’s the only one in that squad who can play a disciplined role in the centre of the park linking the play and able to progress the ball. Rice is a dynamic midfielder, that isn’t his game. Same goes for Jude. What’s needed is a point of stability. Mainoo could be that in years to come, but right now he tends to drift.
2. This is a bit of a problem. Gordon gets my vote in the attacking position, but there’s no clear solution at LB. I’d give Gomez a shot. He was good for Liverpool second half of the season. Can also play in a three at the back if - big if - Stones steps into the midfield.
3. I don’t get why this is a big problem. They all play at pressing clubs. I think the problem is they don’t have a structure that works. Give them a structure to work within and they can do their job more effectively.
4. For me, that’s Gordon. Or Watkins. Or both. I’m happy with the idea of dropping Kane, but I’m also happy if he starts. As long as there’s some threat in behind. Without that, we’re too easy to defend against. One dimensional.
5. Playing out from the back presumes an ability to progress the ball and play through a press. We haven’t done that so far, so it’s no wonder Pickford has been lumping it long more than he should be. So this goes back to point 1 IMO. Fix that and we fix this too.
This comment goes through just about everything I would say about the subject and I agree with almost all of it. well done
@@Rassalconas I was reading the main post, I was thinking of how to express my opinion, but I think your comment sums up most of what I wanted to say. So, well done. 👍
I fecking love you boys. Keep doing what you’re doing !!
I love these discussions, good lads, well done 👏
I love this podcast. Thanks for making content everyday and making my daily dog walk more entertaining.
Just found this channel, loving it, great job guys.
Love this format of having everyone in the room together, much better and gives a reason for watching rather than listening.
when i first watched this three i didn't think I'd warm to it but the euros has made these 3 come into there own and can see how much more comfortable they're all getting with the set up. First podcast I watch now everyday
It’s been a quality pod since episode one. One of my top 3 pods.
Guehi doing well is an example of a player playing well in his position. If you played Guehi at right back, he'd be receiving similar criticism... Just find a system that works for most of our world class players, then pick best players in their position. This may mean when doing the selection process, dropping a world class player but the team comes first. Media across the world is saying it - England are trying to squeeze best players in and haven’t worked out what its best team is. France has world class players on the bench because they don't suit the preferred system - this is what it takes to win an international tournament
That's why they bring FIRE from the bench.
To be early is to be on time. To be on time is late and to be late is unneceptable.
Saw that first on Mozart in the Jungle.
Wise words.
this is pure gold!
I love this podcast, you guys are amazing ❤❤
Good for M to give a well deserved shout out to the editors; their work has been outstanding
Good episode brothers
This podcast has been a breath of fresh air. Love the banter
Just finished watching the Slovenia match.
It demonstrated a few things clearly:
1. Foden + Bellingham = total absence of attacking threat on the left side of the pitch. It was quite stunning that Gareth stood there for 89 minutes and did absolutely nothing about this.
2. Anthony Gordon should be given a chance. He immediately looked a threat when he came on. In the 89th minute.
3. We all love Jude Bellingham, but he isn't the messiah. He stank the place out and should have been hooked. Nobody is bigger than the team.
4. Palmer is a better option off the bench than Bowen (if that was in any doubt before, it isn't now).
meeks is a natural at comedy! you have such a. great mix, world beating team of vloggers. chaps :)
Happy Birthday big Meeks! Hiding the trim under your hat is shocking, starting to think Linekar is your barber and he’s called in sick so you’ve resulted to hiding 😂 love the pod boys, A great watch with the eggs toast and coffee this morning. Up the England
Reports suggest Southgate will only replace Trent with Gallagher. Typical negative move. Gallagher shouldn't even be in the squad! Bellingham alongside Rice, Foden at 10, Gordon on the left. It's not rocket science.
If it goes bad tonight, they have to sack him mid tournament. The guy is clueless.
Spot on Simon, done my knut in saying Rice, Bellingham, Foden in centre mid & build the rest around them for 2+ years ffs
It really is this simple
Of all the options available in the squad Gallagher is far and away the worst one
Yeah I agree. Also, if Gallagher for Trent is the only change, it scapegoats Trent massively. He's not been great but far from only issue. Foden in the 10 needed
I would of agreed this time last week but Gallagher was our best player on this pitch vs Denmark

Blessed Birthday Big Meeks..! Have a great week to everyone!
Quality podcast 😂 brilliant late substitution from Gary at the end
I love the intro story’s. Love these guys
These shows are amazing and so funny at times.
I look back at Mexico 86, England has been toying with a number of strikers to partner Liniker, with Mark Hately the preferred, England lost and drew their first two games, but with Robson’s future on the line, he started with Beardsley in preference to Hately. England then hammered Poland and Paraguay, the team playing brilliant. Why I say this, it’s a moment of truth coming up for SG, will he be ambitious and go with pace and guile, like Watkins and Palmer, or stick with the same old and always be remembered as such.
Great job from Big Al 👏👏👏
Great job hosting the show Shearer
Great series of videos. Following them although not English. My take on the England games is that seems that the problem is not who is playing but how they are told to play. Hope there will be change on that. Also noticed that for couple of players from front 6 defending is not a priority. That is not an option nowadays I think. Hope the best for England!
Happy birthday Big Meeks! We all love you mate!
Happy lovely birthday Micah, all the best as you add another age
Definitely the best show I've seen so far! We've always had great Duos (Morcambe and Wise, Cannon and Ball and even Ant and Dec) - that are timeless. The last trio I ever hear of didn't last that long though - I'm showing my age here: The Goodies!
Happy Birthday for yesterday Micah 🥳🎉🙌
Amazing episode
You haven’t even listened to it yet, you commented a minute after it was posted
Great podcast lads, happy birthday to Miica😎
Happy Birthday mate 😊
The difference between the way England (team and media) and Portugal (team and media) dealt with the first game and tactical issues speaks volumes.
Ive been seeing both, in Portugal Martinez changed system straight away, made corrections and all the big issues of game 1 were fixed by game 2. Meanwhile in England all you "can" say is - hopefully they have a good game and get inspired. But the tactical issues are still there - baffling
Alan Shearer. Presenter. Legendary. Proper good job, brothers!
love this podcast
Al doing a great job here 👏
Love that Shearer sung the black version of happy birthday 👊🏼
Happy Birthday Micah! 🎂❤️
These are brilliant, and Micah Richard’s comes across so well👍
My late fathers exact saying on time keeping, he was a Capt in the merchant navy. Great pod as ever. Hope the old timers OK 😉
Missing lineker’s control here! Loving all the insights, would’ve been amazing to have had this in the 90s and early 2000s
I take it you're a big fan of far left woke extremists BBC then ...🤣
Missing linekers control lol what a mad statement. Get out of his hole buddy
Happy birthday, Micah!!!
this has developed into the best football content available
It seems, not unreasonably, that Kane is our main man. So if we are going to play him it means we absolutely need to surround him with pace.
Either put Watkins up with him and play Rice and Bellingham in a 4-4-2 (not the problem it would seem because Kane drops in to make it a central midfield 3). Alternatively, play Saka and Gordon on the wings as they offer direct runners in behind.
If instead we want to control games through dominating the midfield, play Wharton with Rice, build through midfield. Play Saka on the left to stretch the opposition and create space in the middle for Palmer coming in from the right, Bellingham or Foden at 10 and instruct Kane to play high up the pitch or swap him for Toney/Watkins.
Who is feeding all these attackers. The best passer is being replaced for a runner
Easy - you leave out Foden. If you play Gordon LW, Saka RW, Rice as a 6, Bellingham 8 and Palmer as a 10. Rice sits and protects for the most part, although using Trippier as cover would allow Rice to push forward when he needs to without us being caught too exposed. Bellingham tends to drift towards the left and Palmer drifts towards the right, its gives us a much better balance to our midfield and we have the width with our 2 proper wingers. That is a much better balance to our midfield.
Happy Birthday Micah!
I feel like Micah has become a superb pundit. Gets the balance between laughs and analysis right, a few years back he laughed a bit too much, but seems to have really nailed the winning format.
Alan is a natural leading this podcast
Happy birthday Micah!!!!
Happy Birthday Big Meeks 🎉
Happy birthday Big Meeks, you're a legend
Happy Birthday Micah 🎉
Palmer just needs to be first sub, especially if we're chasing a goal.
He’s our best player…
Gordon needs to play aswell his pace and crossing is up there plus him and palmer won the euros last year
Southgate only uses subs to shore up a result, Palmer will probably only come on when we are losing.

Man this went to quick Not even finish my coffee lol ✌️
Happy Birthday big Meeks.
Palmer Bowen Gordon and Watkins all deserve a start. The other boys have looked crap.
Happy birthday big Meeks !!
Happy birthday Micah😊
. Kane Watkins
Saka Jude Rice Trent
Gomez Guehi Stones Walker
Pickford
My pick. 4-4-2 with Joe Gomez on the left. When attacking, it will be 442 or 424 but when defending, it will be 532 with saka drop deep as left back, gomez slot in as back 3 and trent drift inside to form midfield 3.
Even off the pitch, Gary Linekar with a composed finish at the end!
First!

Try
Gordon for Foden
Mainoo in for TAA
Watkins for Kane
Go hardcore attack and pace in behind
Can't go full on attack on take off Trent for mainoo 🤣 Trent's the most creative player we got and pace would be his remit. Wharton starts over mainoo too, mainoo isn't there yet
@@psveagle that’s a fair challenge. I get what you’re saying. I like Mainoo for his press resistance and his ability to play metronome like passes to keep the play moving. I can see Trent playing with pace. Not averse at all as long as Gordon is in AND Watkins is in 👍🏻
Wharton for TAA. Mainoo isn’t that different to Gallagher.
At this level we need control and Wharton is the only player we have that can offer it
@@rikachu571 …. What… Gallagher is run abouty effort pish with no real ability to put his foot on the ball? Mainoo really is technically light years ahead of Gallagher, in terms of passing, press resistance and moving the ball with one or two touches.
@@Benislionheart not sure cuz based on their performance this season Gallagher has got better stats and playing style compared to mainoo in every department. Ofcourse mainoo is younger and has less minutes. But you can't throw away the facts and say something like this kid
Happy birthday to you big mic..
Just play Palmer up front. He's got the stature of a centre forward, plus the ability, technique and he can make the runs as well.
My preferred line up would be:
Pickford in goal; back line of Stones, Rice and Guéhi; Alexander-Arnold on the right wing; Bellingham and Wharton in midfield; I'd play Saka on the left wing; Foden on "10"; Gordon and Palmer up front.
This line up gives flexibility. Rice should move into midfield in possession giving Bellingham the change to move up. Wharton can back Saka when he's making runs.
