Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted September 23, 2022 Henderson called into the squad. With the exception of James, Trippier, Kane and Coady I can't think if many English players having a good season at the moment. Expecting Itay to dominate with a narrow win.

Midlands Yellow 3,921 Posted September 23, 2022 We need to pack the midfield, sit deep and play cautiously. A tactical affair in store which most English fans fully support.Β Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Yellow Wal 314 Posted September 23, 2022 Very few managers play a more dour system than Southgate. All our best players are attackers and he persists with a negative, boring style. England internationals do not excite me any more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

A Load of Squit 5,114 Posted September 23, 2022 The sports reporter on radio this morning tried to inject a bit of jeopardy into the fixtures by saying if England lose both of their games they will be relegated. Spoilt it by saying they would be relegated to Cat B, League 2, Section F Subsection O (I may have mis-heard that bit), my reaction was 'meh'. Β Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gibbo 131 Posted September 23, 2022 I'm no huge fan of international friendlies (which is what these still by and large are), but given we've reached the semis and final in our last 2 major tournaments, I do wonder why Southgate gets so much stick all the time...Β Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Capt. Pants 4,195 Posted September 23, 2022 Back 3 of Dier, Walker and Maguire. Wingbacks James and Sako, midfield Bellingham and Rice. Sterling, Kane and Foden upfront. It's an attacking line up on that formation!Β Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Donβt be Krul 398 Posted September 23, 2022 As usual "I'll pick players in form" has turned to his favourites. Maguire, hasn't played for 4 games. Same for Shaw. Walker only just returned from injury and THE most overrated player of his generation Henderson makes the bench despite being unfit. I hope we get hammered and relegated. Won't watch England again until that tool Southgate has gone. My car is rusting outside, will be watching that instead Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
