jim mk2 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 (edited) Southgate certainly has his favourites, and Saka is one of them. Sterling would probably have started too. Edited December 4, 2022 by jim mk2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverandout Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Sterling unlikely to play again this tournament. At least it gives the likes of grealish and maddison more opportunity Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoverDom Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Don't mind that team. Think Henderson is a solid addition to shore up midfield 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Mike E Posted December 4, 2022 Backroom Share Posted December 4, 2022 Looks like 4231 to me. Only difference I'd make is Rashford for Saka, but I don't mind giving Saka another chance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roverandout Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 I love saka cracking talent but rashford should have started. I've heard rashford is dropped because with no sterling we have no place on the bench. It's a negative mindset to have thinking we might need pace later on. Go at them straight away and put them away then use technical players to see out the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simongarnerisgod Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 can see quite few goals tonight,got a 4-2or 4-1 look about it,to the winner the spoils,make the most of it because neither senegal or england will beat france Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our midfield is better than theirs. Of course Mbappe is a massive threat. They've been underwhelming in the games I've watched but mbappe is their get out of jail card Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

matt83 Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 “Senegal shouldn’t be discounted or dismissed, they’re African champions.” I wouldn’t expect any professional to dismiss any opponent. However, it’s bloody Senegal. If hand picked a realistic knockout opponent wouldn’t look much past the likes of Senegal. None of this lot would make an England 4th xi. That’s not to say they can’t win or won’t win, England can cock up any match. But should we fail to progress here it’ll be a national disgrace up there with Iceland, etc, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mane, if fit, is better than Sterling, Saka and Grealish. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Backroom Silas Posted December 4, 2022 Backroom Share Posted December 4, 2022 C'mon Maguire, prove me and all your other doubters wrong. Have a stormer. Less of the scary bad touches at the back please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J*B Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Just now, Silas said: C'mon Maguire, prove me and all your other doubters wrong. Have a stormer. Less of the scary bad touches at the back please. He’s yet to make many cock ups for England and I watch us a lot. Admittedly players running at him is quite terrifying but as yet, no complaints. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly players running at him is quite terrifying but as yet, no complaints. I like the bloke, and want him to do well. His distribution when given time and space is excellent. But the rest of it, i.e. when under pressure, make my heart jump 20 bpm. Can't help it, it's an involuntary biological reaction now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
