Should have took Toni instead of Gallagher or Phillips
He's one of the only inform players in the whole squad. And it's crazy we don't have enough strikers. We get the wool pulled over our eyes with them saying Foden saka sterling and Grealish are all forwards. They are midfielders
Definitely instead of Mount
"No disrespect to Iran" but English pundits everywhere are disrespecting them beyond all comprehension. I bet Iran will get at least a draw from that game. LOL
Again this nonsense about England not having the players to have a lot of possession against the better teams. Practically all of the starting eleven will be players for Man City, Liverpool, Arsenal – all teams that totally dominate possession in all of their games.
I wonder do other countries talk so much about changing their teams and formations depending on who they're playing against or do they just play their best team for every game and be done with it. Some people really do over-complicate football nowadays. I guess we have so much more access to watch games and so many more pundits on so many tv and online networks – they have to talk about something.
Iran nearly knocked out Argentina in 2018. They're no pushover. They will be absolutely fearless.
While he should be playing we all know Southgate has a special spot for him to warm up on the bench
decent player, deserved to be picked, but people talking like he is Gazza, not being funny he aint that good
Maddison will need to play as a 10.
He's in good quality form 🔥
Iran. Watch this space
Sick of hearing people say that Southgate "picks people on form" If he picked on form then Tarkowski, Tomori and Burn would be there over Dier, Maguire and Coady. James Ward Prowse would be there over Kalvin Phillips and Ivan Toney would also be there over Grealish with Maddison taking Grealish' place.
This will be his last international tournament as England manager.
I'm not sure what's worse…Maddison not being selected at all, or being selected and not getting any game time.
The disrespect they still show Maddison. Seems they all rate Grealish higher which is ridiculous
England suck all the fun out of football. I'd much rather we never won anything but played to win, rather than playing insufferable, defensive, scared to lose football. Football is supposed to be fun. If England were the most entertaining team in the world to watch, no one would be into football.
4-3-3
Ramsdale
Trippier
Stones
White
Shaw
Bellingham
Rice
Maddison
Foden
Kane
Saka
A sacked Middlesborough manager hasn't got a clue what England's best team is. Maddison is ahead of Mount and Grealish. I've always said he's better than both. Madders is a cross between David Silva and Beckham. There's no other player like him atm
Clint Morrison can't stop talking.
I know he would fit into NUFC team
🤍🖤🤍🖤👍🏻🖤🤍
The team should fit in Madders instead
Not bothered and I for the first time in my life REFUSE to go along with Southgates woke agenda.
I won't be supporting England.
Keep politics out of sport.
As a sub when trying to find some creativity to breakdown a stubborn deep lying defence.
Probably in attacking midfield
Midfield 3 or rice Bellingham and madders
I still don't know how kalvin Phillips is going
"Play the Premier League way and blow teams away " 🤣🤣🤣 when did England win a major tournament???? Exactly 🤣🤣🤣
With 5 subs , and intense heat, it would be madness not to use most of the squad
He fits in nowhere and will hardly get a kick, Useless southgate will pick his out of form donkey favorites like Slabhead everytime.
On the bench?
Southgate is coward & knows so little 🤢🤮 He picked Madison after media pressure. He doesn’t know what he is doing. The team would be much better without a coach. 😡
Southgate is still coach. England will fail
