Foden too attacking for a blend and TAA isn't being played in midfield I’m hoping Connor Bradley’s emergence forces Liverpool’s hand into playing Alexander-Arnold in midfield. If he excels there he might be it. Wilshere’s the one. At 32 he should be the one pulling the strings in this England midfield. Instead he’s been retired for three years.

EtoileSportiveDeDerby Posted February 12 Share Posted February 12 Apart from the goal keeper and central defence, England have probably the best squad in Europe. Bellingham, Kane, Saka, Foden, Rice, Walker, Trent, Palmer all top class, they could get into any team. If Radford gets back in form, Henderson gets back to playing good level you have got a very good a chance to win it this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are probably the second best team after France. Spain, Holland and Portugal aren't far behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has been retired since the 1970’s , he gave Roy Mac a runaround at Highbury once. 😉 Edited February 12 by Reggie Greenwood Added a bit EtoileSportiveDeDerby 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain, Holland and Portugal aren't far behind. I would say we have the third best set of players behind France A and France B. They have ridiculous depth and it seems they push through another two or three top quality players every year. I think in Kane, Saka, Bellingham and Walker we have four world class players. Rice, Stones and Foden are brilliant too, but I feel France A have somebody better in each position and France B somebody just as good. Saying all that, England were the better team against France at the World Cup. And Argentina dominated them for 75 minutes in the final. France have the best set of players, but at times they don’t look like the best team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain, Holland and Portugal aren't far behind. Trent is a quarterback, Walker and Reece James (always crocked sadly) are your best RB. Trippier isn’t shabby either. Put Trent in midfield with Rice and Bellingham and it does not get much better than that. and I agree we (France) probably have the best team. if, Bappe turns up, we don’t have a meltdown (last Euros versus the Swiss) or go on strike (WC in South Africa). At least if it goes to pens we have a chance, Lloris had the uncanny ability to always dive the other way.

Van der MoodHoover Posted February 13 Share Posted February 13 On 11/02/2024 at 22:20, Bris Vegas said: I actually think Pep would look at this England team and think he could really take it on. He already has Walker, Stones, Grealish and Foden. He could set us up in his 3-2-4-1 system with a back three of Maguire, Stones and Walker. Rice in the Rodri role alongside Trent. A midfield of Grealish, Foden, Bellingham and Saka with Kane upfront. No way pep would want Maguire. He favours mobile, ball- playing centre halves.

Probably wants to concentrate on Arsenal, and perhaps feels he has been overlooked in the past. Both Stones or White could play in the holding role.
