Euro 2020

[Templeton Peck]

Kalvin Phillips is nowhere near as good as he thinks he is, Bellingham should be in there. Trippier is fine but Chilwell and Shaw both had great seasons and are actual left backs, bizarre if that’s true. Mings will cost us at least one game if not the whole tournament at some point if he keeps playing. Oh and Sterling should be nowhere near a first 11 on current form it having Grealish, Sancho and Rashford on the bench is quite nice.

Mount and Bellingham are complete midfielders IMHO. Bellingham can do all Phillips does and whole lot more. We only need someone like Phillips if Rice gets injured.

If Mount, Grealish and Foden aren't the 3 behind Kane I think we can disregard Southgates words that he'll pick the most inform players.
Defence is a tricky one atm, don't trust any off the ones available, Coady is as good as any.....admittedly thats my Wolves bias coming out.
Rice and Phillips are probably as good as we have available.

Edit. I'd forgotten about Bellingham....tbh not seen very much of him.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Pickford
Trippier Stones White Shaw
Rice Bellingham Mount
Foden Kane Grealish

 

[Nando]

Two of the best left backs in the game over the past six months and we pick a right back. Sensational stuff, Gareth.

Cancelo tested positive for Covid, is Semedo the next one down ?

 

[Derby Wolf]

Southgates caution will rescue defeat from the jaws of victory. With this squad we may not win the tournament but we ought to be able to have a good go. The mentality of the manager will completely undo that.

Is the 'Athletic 11' nailed on?

 

[Del Woppio]

I'm not too concerned about the left back, as trips does at least add set piece brilliance. But Phillips over Bellingham and sterling over Grealish is just fucking stupid. Obviously mings should be nowhere near the side

Ornstein is usually pretty good so probably.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Yep. It’s bang on. Confirmed line up now.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

Tyrone Mings..

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Red card waiting to happen. He’s fucking shite.

 

[Quirkafleeg]

All im hearing for his inclusion is because he's left footed.. I mean really.

 

[Templeton Peck]

Fuck me. Mings. In a 4. Well it won't be dull i suppose.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Hopefully England are well ahead when does something fucking thuggish and picks up a ban. Chilwell Grealish and Coady should be rightfully pissed off.

Selecting a player because he can take a set piece would be very England.

 

[AndyWolves]

The odds for Croatia look quite appealing

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Gareth Zenga.

I don't see how you look at that squad of available players (so no Maguire presumably) and think "that is my best XI".

 

[Derby Wolf]

 

[Jinky]

That starting 11 has really pissed me off.
