OutByEaster? Posted April 1, 2021 Author Moderator Share Posted April 1, 2021 So, a bit of change after those qualifiers. GK: Pope, Pickford, Henderson (these three seem nailed on ) DF: Trippier, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Mings, Dier, Chilwell, Saka MF: Rice, Phillips, Henderson, Ward-Prowse AM: Sterling, Mount, Foden, Grealish, Sancho, Rashford CF: Kane, Calvert-Lewin. Is where I reckon Southgate is at (although I've probably forgotten someone) I think he might force James in there as an extra right back, but I can't see who he'd squeeze out for him and obviously Southgate is the only man in the country who would pick Dier for this squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 Just now, OutByEaster? said: Is that a thing? Southgate was asked about it last night He of course said he's against the idea because a bigger squad means more players not playing which is disruptive He also said he knows his 23 but didn't know what injuries will do Muppet 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 1, 2021 Share Posted April 1, 2021 One thing he may be right on though - You have a 23 man squad, you have a covid outbreak, that 23 man squad gets sent in to isolation... Do you get to call up a 2nd 23 man squad? Or drop out of the tournament? If you get the 2nd squad then you don't want a 30 man squad 1st time around But then all the coaches and manager get sent in to isolation too so who knows what that looks like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's right, though I wonder a little about James as you say, and also whether Coady might be picked instead of Mings or Dier. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes I think he would want to get James in. Don't think Ward-Prose's place is nailed on so could replace him in your squad 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulC Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Seems rediculous that he would leave TAA out. No better attacking right back in world football when he plays like he did yesterday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way Liverpool played he could get away with it as players covered for him but England dont play that way. Previous form doesnt really matter either when it comes to tournaments He is also playing in a position that is completely stacked for England with talent in a specialist position. Trippier and Walker could be about to win the league, before yesterday James was playing in an incredible defence and Cash, Wan Bissaka have all had better seasons than TAA. Southgate mentioned Cash last time in his squad so he cant be far off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 You take James as first choice and TAA as 2nd but Southgate will take trippier instead He's only got 12 caps and I don't think he's been injured that much, been 1st choice for Liverpool for 3 years now(?) so Southgate has never been that hot on him No TAA maybe no Henderson hopefully no gomez... Scousers will love it.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Yeah I think it's more a case of its how Liverpool play making TAA look far better than he actually is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 You cant train people how to cross a ball like he does. he is as good as anything around. Southgate should build his team around TAA, Grealish and Kane. these are world class players. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted April 4, 2021 Share Posted April 4, 2021 Southgate will go with 5 at the back in he plays TAA, we don't have the upfield press or the midfield that Liverpool have And all that said TAAs Liverpool form this season doesbt deserve a call up Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
