Is it not a typical 3-5-2 side? No Kane so DCL starts. No Sterling so Rashford starts.
Mount is the most strange pick. Grealish deserved to start or Sancho.
Internationals October (Nations League + Euro 2021 play-offs + Friendlies)

McClean has been better than Dan James
That England team is too attacking. Phillips should be in there for Rash/DCL to create better balance.
Be interesting to see Rashford and DCL together like. Plus point
Yeah future United attack.
McClean sent off. Not what they need.
Exactly my thinking haha
erm....
Great now we are down 9 players. At this rate we won't have a team to play Finland.
Mick McCarthy comparing the red card to Covid 
Will this be the day Pickford plays himself out of the team finally?
is there a rule about having to have 2 keepers on the bench?
guessing its
Pickford
Walker Dier Maguire
Trent Henderson Rice Trippier
Mount Calvert-Lewin Rashford
Walker Dier Maguire
Trent Henderson Rice Trippier
Mount Calvert-Lewin Rashford
I was going to watch the England game out of sheer boredom but not sure I will after seeing that team.
Rashford and Maguire starts though.
What’s Southgate obsession with Trippier. He’s like the first name on team sheet every time.
James Mc Clean doesn’t half go on does he always moaning, complaining and arguing. Does more of that than actually playing football.
I thought his days as an international were over about a year and a half ago.

Southgate’s a bottle Job, also..
And we need two keepers atleast. Pickford is too attacking to play on his own.
You can't play 3-5-2 with so many attacking options
Pickford back in the goal is ridiculous
Trippier as left-wing-back is
But yeah the biggest joke is that Grealish is back on the bench
Ehm what
He might get in more trouble, seemed to push the guy he fouled head into the ground or slap him after he was sent off.
They did in the world cup though and it worked. You do have a squad for that formation I think.You can't play 3-5-2 with so many attacking options

Although two defensive midfielders feels a bit too much.
Frustrating that we've been the better side now in two games in a row and won neither. Suppose it's better than being the worse team 90% of the time. Wasn't that impressed with Wales, thought that they were supposed to have greatly improved, maybe just a poor game from them though.
After that lineup... couldn't care less if they win. He's pissing me off.
Yeah seen that then gone into a shoving match with the Wales player. He if wasn’t running about like a headless chicken half the time he wouldn’t have gotten sent off..
Feck me that's a negative line up
Two DMs would be grand in a 4-3-3... But this is just overkill.
Football opinions are amazing sometimes.
3 right backs
You must play 4-3-3 (with two attacking midfielders) with Kane, Sterling, Rashford, Sancho, Greenwood, Ings & Calvert-Lewin as forward options and Grealish, Foden, Barkley, Mount, Maddison & Alli as attacking midfield options.
9 changes from the Wales game. Was always going to happen with the players having payed so much recently. Would be 11 if not for Kane's injury and there seemingly not being any English left backs in the world available.
That's true but here both are the same opinion.
Happens with us (united) too...everyone pretends that it s his personal team and he/she should be consulted.
Pickford's day will come at the Euro's. Seaman, Green, Hart career's all came to an end at a tournament.
Praying Maguire has a semi-competent game, needs a good performance after his Tottenham horror show.
Henderson. So there's gonna be a lot of 2 yard sideways passing to pad his stats and plenty of hoofs out of play.
Not a bad point for Wales but an awful game really.
That team just confirmed on twitter. Think England have a good chance of winning if they keep KDB quiet.
Mind you just seen the England set up and really can't work out the formation, I thought Kyle Walker at LB but then saw Alex Arnold in so perhaps he's at right midfield, Walker in a back 3 and Tripper on the left?
In the final third though surely the ideal time to put Grealish behind two strikers instead of Mount.
Harsh to lump Seaman in with that lot, he played for England for a couple of years after Ronaldinho's fluke.
