The thing I fear is we're going into the tournament now and I really don't think Southgate knows his best XI, he probably knows what team he plans to start next week, but does he really know the team to get the best out of this squad, I think it's unlikely, as we've probably never even seen that XI play together.
I found ITV's segment on what the team will be next week after the game yesterday very weird. Why are they so convinced we will go to 5 at the back next week, and had their 3 blanks to fill in with 5 at the back? Makes no sense to me, 5 at the back didn't work in the Nations League, and we haven't played it for a minute in 2021, I would find it very strange if we would go to 5 at the back next week when we haven't tried it at all in these friendlies, it makes no sense, and tbh I don' t believe Southgate will do it either. Also funny that after all agreeing that Grealish should be in the team next week, none of them actually thought Southgate would pick him. Grealish should start for me, he's the only player who actually stood out for me in these friendlies, and indeed has done so every time he's played for England.
