England

3-2 - been a quality game!

[benhben]

Bellingham is unbelievable for a 19 year old. Looks the complete midfielder. 

Dortmunds scouting system is something to behold to pluck him out of the Birmingham side aged 17.

 best player on the pitch by miles over the two games

3-3

Looks like Pickford will be No1. Pope distribution has been shocking in both matches - and now that mistake

[K-Hod]

If they’re going to pick a keeper that isn’t Pickford- Ramsdale should be that man, as far as I’m concerned.

[J*B]

Agreed, Ramsdale is the best keeper. Can’t have Pickford simply because he’s used to playing for a team that don’t keep clean sheets. 

If I was manager and went to the world cup tomorrow, this would be my team…

Ramsdale

Walker Stones Tomori 

Trent Bellingham Rice Chilwell 

Foden Kane Sterling

Pickford for me for England, that is.

[bazza]

Germany seem to produce superb keepers. Neuer and now Ter Stegen.

 

[roverandout]

Pickford is head and shoulders better than the others. He never mistakes for England.  I'm really pissed off with Pope. His team mates work their arses to come back and he has one simple job.  He's never good enough.  He made a fuck up against Poland not so long ago.

I think James and Shaw did okay, I'm sure they'll both start.

Saka was so good when he came on I could see one of Foden or Sterling being dropped.

Maguire was generally pretty good today but two really poor mistakes. I think he should get dropped as you can't afford to give goals away. We can play Walker, Stones and Dier across the back. But Southgate isn't going to drop him, or he would have by now.

Pickford has been one of Everton's best players the last year. Ramsdale was awful against Hungary.  Pickford would have conceded probably one or two goals in these last few games

Tomori must be wondering what he has to do to get a place in the team instead of the carthorse that is Maguire

[RoverDom]

Pickford has never let England down. There's one or two players who are completely different for England than they are with their club. Pickford is one of them.

You can write maguire off that list now. No tbf maguire had a decent game 

[K-Hod]

I’d sooner we continued with James at right back too.  For me, he’s the best all round full back we have. His all round game is better than Trent I’d say, though Trent is much better going forward, obviously.

[roversfan99]

Surely one positive from that game is that Southgate can finally see how bad Maguire is? Who am I kidding, first name on the team sheet. Dier is a waste of time aswell.

I thought maguire had a decent game. Terrible mistake but he looked fairly solid

He is a walking disaster, the first goal was not an isolated example of his clumsiness, and it didnt end with his mistake for the second either. He shouldnt be in the squad which is damning in itself considering how poor our pool of centre backs are.

if you want a battle on a wet,cold tuesday night then harry is your man,up against quick turning forwards at international level i agree he`s disaster waiting to happen,if he can`t get in utd`s first team he has no right to be playing for the national side imo

Had Pickford been fit we would have won. Too quiet for an England keeper and doesn't have that commanding quality.

U mean Pope is too quiet? I think pickford is very vocal

Mount was excellent when he came on. Quality player. Maybe people will realise this now.

Pickford should be number 1. Ramsdale as number 2. Pope as number 3.

I would pick Tripper over James myself. I deffo wouldn't be picking Trent in the world cup squad. 

 

I think tonight starting 11 is what we see in world cup first game
