Drink every time you hear me say ‘ya boy’ throughout this video 😂🍻
Biggest issue for me is the defensive midfielder. I'd be tempted to play Stones there, but then who's RCB? Could have been Ben White
Love the idea of england going back to a 442 idk if it'll ever happen or work but imagine us winning something with the traditional English football, unreal
Great content as always James but all this personnel stuff means nothing if a decent system isn’t put in place, just going to look like 11 players
Need fucking Mainoo man. Rice mainoo Bellingham is so well balanced but Southgate won’t do this ffs
So you're basically saying something that makes sense so obviously Southgate won't do it 😂😂 I honestly don't understand England I get trying to build cohesion but dude it's been so long with South gate and yeah you gotten close but you also tied with the US. They should have been got rid of South gate
15:50 another thing to mention is Jones has filled in at RB at times for Liverpool. Not saying it should be the main idea, but an option with TAA at LB. It'd be interesting
Heres another system idea
GK. Pickford
RWB. Trent
RCB. Walker
CB. Stones
LCB. Maguire
LWB. Livermento
RDM. Barkley
LDM. Rice
RAM. Foden
LAM. Bellingham
ST. Kane
So the big loser here is Saka obvs, but with so many quality players and different ideas, something has to give.
In this system tho, it puts a lot of players back into the picture. Barkley plays a very similar system at Luton so I feel he would have a very big shout for this squad.
The advantage of this squad would be for like, a lot of swaps can happen seemlessly. You can get Madders, Kane (Yes Kane) to play AM roles, enabling the opportunity for Watkins (in particular) and Toney to get some time in. You can also fit in JWP, Mainoo, Hendo, Gallagher in those DM roles. So a lot of players can fit this system
The system revolves around the DM's and Wing Backs being able to freely make progressive passes and crosses (which is why Trents back in) with the 2 AM's free to make runs and form a barca triangle right up at the pitch with ST without sacrificing the width of the pitch.
A lot of emphasis on the fitness of the wingbacks so players like Doughty, Mitchell, Trippier or move Walker to wide and slot in Colwill would be necessary changes
All of this doesn't matter as long as Southgate is your manager
Make one for other teams, especially France
James, waistcoat is still England Manager. Love the tactics, detest the Manager. Can't wait for the Henderson/Phillips midfield masterclass.
id play foden on left and bellingham left centre mid and allow them more free roam to swap
In this hypothetical world where Southgate isn't a frigid basic coach. I love Trent, maybe a bit too much😊. Trent on the left with Rashford in front who cant track back for toffee is not the one. Has to be right back or just start him midfield next to Rice, that allows Rice to get forward more. What Jorginho does for him at Arsenal. Do feel for Jones too, he would've had to have been in this sqaud for these friendlies, was our best midfielder for about a year before the injury.
this is shocking i am sorry
Cole palmer needs to be in some of these formations would work well with a rb going outside him he currently has the same amount of goals and assists as Bellingham in a terrible team.
Ain’t no way rashford gets in. Missed so many chances vs Liverpool just to be overshadowed by diallo who was on loan a few months ago 😂
It’s gonna be 4-3-3 with 4 full backs and 2 holding midfielders 😂😂
Gotta be Foden-Kane-Saka up front. Shouldn't be a debate. Midfield is Jude-Rice-Someone. Can argue for a bunch for that third spot. Defense is Trent-Stones-Someone-Shaw. Pickford is shit but he's going to play so not worth discussing. Its that CB and the third midfielder that need the most attention IMO.
Trent should be nowhere near the starting line up. Shocking analysis
Foden has to be in every team
Mainoo and Rashford starting? Come on, James. You can do better than this.
Southgate gonna watch all these videos and go with none.
So based on the system, I've devised the 23 man squad James would bring (with some personal picks)
GK:
Pickford
(Johnstone)
(Ramsdale)
Def:
Shaw
Maguire
Colwill
Stones
Walker
TAA
(Gomez)
Mid:
Jones
Rice
Mainoo
Bellingham
Foden
Maddison
Att:
Kane
Watkins
Rashford
Saka
Grealish
(Gordon)
Now imo there's two options for last position: Toney or Tomori/Guehi. St for a different option, good on pk and need a 3rd when two up top. Or a CB to fill in possibly, won't play unless emergency and can also maybe put stones at cdm should rice get tired. I'm not sure
3-5-2
Pickford
Walker, Stones, Colwill CBs
Trent and Shaw at wingback
Rice, Bellingham, Foden MID
Kane and Saka/Toney/ Watkins or Rashford up top
God I hope Southgate doesn't see this and play Bellingham on the left
Foden has to play no matter the formation or tactic
Can't wait for another failure tornament, just to be told Gareth Southgate isn't a failure🤦🏻♂️😂
Bellingham and Foden/Palmer need to be given free roles and not stifled by tactics
Not from england, but i would love to watch this line-up. I agree that foden should be a 10, but not using Bellingham there is a hard thing to resist. Is collwill ready? Don't know about that.
Bellingham and Foden/Palmer need to be given free roles and not stifled by tactics
Honestly think Colwilll is overrated would rather have Guehi starting than him. Has not had a good season with Chelsea (may be because he has played left back a lot) but I simply don’t think he should be a shoe-in.
I've said for ages Trent should play as a left back inverting into the midfield would give him so much room to swing balls across the pitcj
GARETH SOUTHGATE
dreams
Mate Colwill at left back is heinous, as well as next to Maguire?? No no no
i think football fans know gareth isn't winning anything… nothing's home under him
