Pickford TAA Maguire Ming's Chilwell Winks Rice Sterling Jack Rashford Kane Manager - New That's not far off what I'd go with. If it needs to be a bit less attacking take out Rashford, with Grealish going out there and Mount in the middle. Not sure who I'd pick as the CB pairing but it would definitely be a 4. I guess Maguire is a certainty, not sure I'd have him in but don't think he is being replaced. England last night was like us last season, Grealish running the show, know threat from anyone else, Kane excluded maybe. Play the team above and even the fans and pundits (well Danny Murphy) who are still criticising won't be a be able to moan about Grealish not actually getting a goal or assist, will having absolutely nothing left.

villalad21 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 England need Pearson for the job. He isn't afraid to handle the big personalities and egos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herman22 Posted November 16, 2020 Share Posted November 16, 2020 I didn't see any of the Irish game (on purpose as this Ireland team is so poor it's sad) but I did see most of the Belgium game and Grealish ran the show. I think we are going to have an issue holding on to him in the next 12 months. I'm not talking about Man United or Aresnal anymore but Barca, Real, Munich, etc. He has shown over the last year that there is no level he can't play at.

The likes of Sterling will play for their clubs straight after the international break , well rested and still guaranteed to start for England when the important games start next summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. It would be interesting to get an explanation from him on how someone goes from struggling to be picked for the squad, to needing to work on things to now undroppable, all within a couple of weeks. It's almost as if he either missed something that was staring him in the face, or avoided it out of sheer stubbornness. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, that formation with Henderson and Phillips instead of Winks and Rice for me. Oh and Pickford in the **** sea. Put Nick Pope or Henderson in there. When you think we'd then have the likes of Sancho, Greenwood, Ings, DCL, Foden and Maddison as backup, the front 6 positions is very exciting for England Edited November 17, 2020 by Stevo985 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last season Dean Henderson was amongst the best keepers in the league as far as the stats for stopping expected goals go, Pickford was second worst ahead of Kepa IIRC. Unfortunately he's now benched but even then, Pope is better than Pickford. I've seen it suggested that Pickford is ahead by virtue of his ability with his feet but for England he almost exclusively knocks it long when under even the slightest amount of pressure so that shouldn't really matter. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree and a fit Heaton is better too imo. Pickford has his moments but overall he is a car crash waiting to happen, few mistakes more and Ancelotti might stick Olsen, what do England do then? Henderson should have stayed where he was as like you I think he is probably the best of the 3 and regular game time is what he needs to prove it. Edit, I feel the same way about MaGuire too, very overrated, if its a 3 then Coady and Mings pick themselves +1 and if its a back 4 its Mings and probably still Coady for me.

villa4europe Posted November 18, 2020 Share Posted November 18, 2020 Grealish + foden could be sparks Would guess that were pushing the fullbacks up for width and then jack and foden are both in a free role 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jack hopefully have a free role behind Kane using full width of the pitch. I agree about Mount, he’d probably look even better in centre mid and adds a bit more balance to the side.
