Gareth “I thought Conor Coady was excellent”... that’ll do to start with

Southgate. Back three were solid, Conor Coady was excellent.

Looks like Coady has left a good impression, think he comes out of this well. I thought Kalvin Philips was OK also, but the midfield selection was way too negative. If we are going to play 5 at the back we are going to need a more creative midfield pairing than what we put out today, hope Southgate realises that.

Phillips was awful for me, looked miles out of his depth.

Coads didn't let himself down at all.

Nothing wrong with 5 at the back. Plenty of teams make it work offensively, Belgium certainly do. Difference is they play KDB in midfield rather than two average DMs.

Maguire and a fit and playing (?) Stones should come back into the reckoning. I suppose then you are looking at Mings/Keane/Coady/Dier as being the vulnerable ones. Dier has versatility on his side so on the basis that Keane/Mings weren’t used here it’s possible that he keeps his place in the squad.

Don't normally watch England games. Thought it was actually a typical Wolves away game - fairly solid at the back (but with the usual couple of scares), not enough creativity in the middle, a few scraps for the forwards that we wasted. Would have picked 0-0 before the start. Only surprise was seeing Coady in the wrong penalty area.

Phillips got involved, but didn't realise Rice was even playing until half-time. Really, really needed more positivity in midfield - I guess that means Grealish should have started.

Greenwood - What do you think?

I guess it comes down to how much Southgate thinks he'll play 3 at the back again. If there's a decent chance then I think Coady is now at the front of the queue for that role. If unlikely then there's not much point keeping him around as we know he's not going to play in a 2. For a tournament I'd have thought it's worth having him as an option rather than someone like Keane when you can have Rice drop back in a ch injury crisis.

He took 4 CH's to the last World Cup plus Dier 2 LBs and 3 RB's one of which played centre half so a similar balance and I'd say Coady would be unlucky to not make it, unless as I say he decides there's zero chance he'd play 3 at the back. The choice would come down to Walker or Trippier for versatility or Coady for specialism.

After yesterday I'd go:

Not Pickford
Gomez - Coady - Maguire
TAA - Henderson - Chilwell
Foden - Ox
Kane - Sterling​

 

[The Bear]

Henderson/Pope

Gomez - Coady - Maguire

TAA - Henderson - Foden - Chilwell

Sancho - Kane - Sterling

 

[BillyDee]

Henderson/Pope

Gomez - Coady - Maguire

TAA - Henderson - Foden - Chilwell

Sancho - Kane - Sterling

Think that's what I'd go for. Would lean towards Henderson in goal, but only if he's actually playing this season.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

Henderson/Pope

Gomez - Coady - Maguire

TAA - Henderson - Foden - Chilwell

Sancho - Kane - Sterling

Agreed

Pope for me.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

England squad to face Wales, Belgium and Denmark:

Tammy Abraham (Chelsea), Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Harvey Barnes (Leicester City), Dominic Calvert-Lewin (Everton), Ben Chilwell (Chelsea), Conor Coady (Wolverhampton Wanderers), Eric Dier (Tottenham Hotspur), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Jack Grealish (Aston Villa) Dean Henderson (Manchester United), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Danny Ings (Southampton), Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur), Michael Keane (Everton), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Ainsley Maitland-Niles (Arsenal), Tyrone Mings (Aston Villa), Mason Mount (Chelsea), Kalvin Phillips (Leeds United), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Nick Pope (Burnley), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Declan Rice (West Ham United), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal) Jadon Sancho (Borussia Dortmund), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Atletico Madrid), Kyle Walker (Manchester City), James Ward-Prowse (Southampton), Harry Winks (Tottenham Hotspur)

 

[Tredman]

Interesting to see the formation he plays given he has picked Coady again.

 

[Tony Towner]

I guess with a 30 man squad he could easily pick him without intending to use him

 

[Lycan]

I think considering the way Coady played + the way Southgate raved about him afterwards that he'll be a big part of the England set up going forward if he can find a way to make 3-4-3 work in an attacking sense. Shouldn't be too hard given the quality he has at his disposal.
