I didn’t really plan that very well. I'm 7 months off a beer habit and I've dropped 20 lbs and lower my blood pressure. I drink Pellegrino water instead and it's a decent substitute. Glass bottle, bubbles, cold. You can do it. Or.....you can wait until August, lol. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As someone on social media said, the manager is on a hiding to nothing by picking the best diver in the game and leaving our best set piece taker out.

Best diver isnt Henderson himself or is it Kane or Rashford Though none have anything on Bruno 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 If he starts Jack, I thought he’d go Grealish Kane Sterling, left to right. Foden is the super sub for Sterling, Grealish is an older head. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wedge Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I'd go with Pickford Walker Stones Mings James Chilwell Rice Foden Mount Grealish Kane But there's no point speculating as we all know he'll play Rashford and Sterling with Jack on the bench! We know we'll be disappointed and have our hopes dashed, but that's part of being an England fan. Come on boys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 Englands biggest problem in the tournament is not if Foden or Jack doesnt play but Harry Kane. He needs to stay near the box. He isnt at Spurs where he plays with limited midfielders and he needs to learn from Rooney mistakes of past tournaments 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaulC Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I think Sterling will start and it will be between Grealish and Foden for the other spot in the front three. The Independant has Grealish starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has said it’s something he does for England (and nobody seems to be telling him not to). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a boring and safe selection. And then Southgate will be scratching his head at 0-0 after 60 minutes when England can't do anythinng v Croatia's deep block with no space to run in behind. Perhaps he'll go with middle trio of Rice, Mount, Foden but I'd like to see Foden in front trio myself. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that's fine but to start those two is criminal and yeah extremely safe. Sterling doesn't deserve to start and Rashford will play on the right which isn't even his best position. Jack and Sancho are far more deserving, and I feel Jack needs to start more to grow into games and cause most damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 There is no doubt it will be rashford and sterling. Pace innit. Low block. Get the ball into channel run quick. Ole. Bruce. Southgateball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 There will be a national, collective If Grealish isn’t in the starting 11 tomorrow. It will be the thing that dominates the prematch punditry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted June 12, 2021 Share Posted June 12, 2021 I watched Italy last night attacking in front of the back 4, lots of possession, lots of short passing and movement trying to pull a defender out of position and then utilising the space, really comfortable on the ball and thought England can play like that if they want Watching Belgium now move the ball quickly but playing it in to feet, stretching the pitch and playing sharp purposeful forward passing England can play like that too if they want Excited about tomorrow...knowing we won't play like either of them...
