Massively stacked at right back as well, must be the Neville effectWhat other striker will be an option? It seems England are just massively stacked in attacking midfield and lacking everywhere else
This is what you get when every school kid grows up wanting to be like paul scholes
As crazy as it sounds TAA could even get displaced from the squad completely.
DCL and Ings would be the two back ups and potentially even Rashford. I guess Greenwood could be an option too but given his form I don't think he's anywhere near making the squad.What other striker will be an option?

Ahh yeah, DCL is having a decent season to be called as a back up. Also agree with you about rashford and Greenwood.
You sure? Pep was only 15 yo in say 1986.I’d honestly throw silly money at Pep for a one month gig. It’s been done before, albeit in the 1980s, I think by the Soviets or Ukrainians
Nah, England are stacked for attacking options after Kane (Rashford, Calvert-Lewin, Abrahams, Ings, Greenwood, etc), Antonio at 30 doesn't really come into it.
Been more talk of Bamford getting a late call up hasn't there. Ollie Watkins could even make a late run given he has 10 goals in 21 games for us and he had some questionable rules out by VAR.
He’s hot & cold in a farmers league. Good player but enormously overrated. United wise I’d much rather take Haaland from them.
Was still a visionary learning from CruyffYou sure? Pep was only 15 yo in say 1986.
Would sooner see Watkins over Bamford. Bamford has been good for Leeds but they play in a really unique setup/tactics, and for the goals he's got, he really misses a lot too.
This is the biggest problem England have, and also the biggest problem United have. Stones doesn’t have the attributes to cover for Maguire’s deficiencies. He’s quite similar to Lindelof, just a bit stronger in the air.
Would be a big call for Southgate not to start him and I don't see it happening. Touch and go between him and Rashford on the left, although I imagine Sterling will get the nod on the right.
Completely agree with you with regards to this partnership being similar to Lindelof and Maguire. In the absence of Gomez though, what alternative do you propose? It's possible that Southgate goes with three at the back I suppose.
Rashford probably won’t start.
Eurgh, after looking at all these fancy attacking line ups in this thread that team looks a bit of a let down. It’d be funny if he played that team and then had a bench of sancho, grealish, rashford, foden, Maddison, DCL all itching to get on
It really does, but I think it’s probably closer to the real team we see in the Euros than all the class exciting teams we’ve seen posted in here
He likes Mount but not to the point of absurdity. The wide forwards are going to be two of Sterling, Rashford, Sancho, Grealish and Foden. I’ve said Rashford and Foden above but I expect it to be Sterling (RW) and Rashford (LW).
I don't see Mount starting over Rashford, but yeah he does appear to be a 'manager's favourite' so we will see. If playing a system with wing backs, then it's possible that Saka may get the nod over Chilwell.
In the place of one or two of the forwards, I think he'll take more DM/CM cover as he probably wants the option of playing both Rice and Henderson, which means he needs at least one back-up.
Too soon I'm afraid. Would you trust that midfield against Spain/France/Germany/Portugal/Belgium in 12 months?
Nah. I imagine there's room for 1 centre-forward after Kane and it'll probably be Calvert-Lewin. Can't see any of the other candidates making the list.
Yeah hence why i said that team is "probably still a year away" but on reflection, i agree probably more, still the future looks great, England are now in a position where if someone gets injured we have another player who can come in and do a job just as good job.
