sage Posted June 14, 2022 Share Posted June 14, 2022 As we appear to have a range of football experts on the Forum and everyone smee to be moaning about team selections, what would be your team and in what formation? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I'd like to see us develop a 433 as a default GK don't mind, any of pickford, ramsdale etc RB James CB Tomori Guehi LB Chilwell CDM Rice CM Bellingham ACM Mount CF Kane LW Foden RW Sancho I actually think we lack depth in quite a few positions. Kane gets mentioned a lot, but we don't really have a crop of quality cdms either. We've been exposed after a couple of injuries at lb Sancho might seem random after his poor season with man u but up to that point he was a developing talent. Sterling is an ok alternative. I appreciate I've chosen yet another CB pairing but we need to find a pair that can tackle, pass forward and who are mobile to cover the ground. Walker would be OK for James. Maybe James Justin for Chilwell. What's yours then @sage? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is not aimed specifically at you but I find it bizarre how people criticise Southgate thinking he is holding us back from winning these tournaments but then say he should be selecting the likes of Guehi and James Justin. At elite international level some of these players haven't got the experience or quality. This is why Walker, Stones, Kane, Sterling, Maguire, Pickford are so important to this England side and have been the core of the team over the last few years.

EulogyForEvolution Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 Pickford Trent Stones Tomori Chilwell Rice Mount Bellingham Foden Grealish Kane Initial squad of 26 (which I believe is likely for this World Cup): Ramsdale, Pope, James, Walker, Maguire, Guehi, Shaw, Henderson, Ward-Prowse, Gallagher, Sancho, Saka, Sterling, Abraham, Calvert-Lewin Hope to see Sancho hit the ground running under Ten Hag. If he does, he would go right into the starting line up. The Tomori pick isn't just bias, either. He's really mobile and naturally left sided, which we miss at international level a lot of the time.

Rammy03 Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 (edited) Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Shaw Rice Mount Foden Sterling Kane Grealish That team has the right balance of experience, leadership, attacking intent and defensive solidity. It gets our most dangerous players into a formation they will be comfortable with. Edited June 15, 2022 by Rammy03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bris Vegas Posted June 15, 2022 Share Posted June 15, 2022 I think our best XI is Pickford, TAA, Walker, Stones, Tomori, Chillwell, Rice, Henderson, Sterling, Grealish, Kane in a 523 with attacking wingbacks. TAA and Chillwell could be given plenty of license to get forward with the pace of Walker and Tomori to cover the spaces behind. Rice and Henderson as two energetic midfielders. I know it seems harsh on Mount but he is almost shoehorned into an attacking role because of his pressing off the ball rather than being played as the furthest forward of a midfield three. If we went 433 I’d have him in the team and drop either Walker of TAA. Rammy03 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pickford James Tomori Maguire Trippier Bellingham Rice Mount Foden. Sterling Kane I'm picking one or two reluctantly and as a midfield Mount would be more of an 8 than a 10 and Bellingham more breaking to an 8 from deeper.

DCFC Kicks Posted June 16, 2022 Share Posted June 16, 2022 Ward-Prowse is one of the most underrated players in the PL. As much as some might try to think otherwise, England are primarily a set-piece team and should just embrace it. Get the big lads on the pitch with Ward-Prowse on delivery. Not sure why Dier isn't even in the squad as he's been the best English CB in the PL this season playing in a back 3 and he's deceptively quick as well. It's just a trend to hate Maguire at the moment but he usually plays well for England. Could play Tomori for a bit more pace.
