We should have picked the best two of those (probably Scholes and Gerrard) to play in a balanced team. Lampard was better than both Scholes and Gerrard. If we're picking two, it's Lampard and Gerrard all day for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Plus Scholes sucks his daughters toes.  What? Why are you looking at me like that? I'm not even joking. I would say look it up if you want proof but uh.. Don't. Trust me. Just don't.

Top corner 260 Posted June 20 Just now, Capt. Pants said: England players looking well leggy on that heavy pitch. Bellingham, Rice and Trent have been particularly poor. I wouldn't have started with Trent, I would have Rice & Bellingham as our two holding midfielders, but when England are on the attack, Bellingham has the legs to support our attacks, leaving Rice just in front of our back four. I would then bring Foden in just behind Kane & just give him a free role, then put Gordon on the left wing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

canarydan23 4,749 Posted June 20 12 minutes ago, Samwam27 said: Not really. Id play Bellingham next to Rice (sorry Trent in midfield just doesnt work) Foden in the middle, Saka on the right, and someone like Gorden on the left. Either that drop trent for Mainoo. I'd prefer that to this eleven. But Foden and Bellingham in the three behind Kane is emphatically not working. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daz Sparks 1,558 Posted June 20 Why doesn't Pickford look to his left once in a while, he constantly overlooks Trippier, who is often in loads of space. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
