What concerns me most about that line up is T-Rex in goal.

 

[clubchamp98]

England XI: Pickford, Walker, Stones, Mings, Trippier, Rice, Phillips, Mount, Foden, Sterling, Kane

No Sancho or Chilwell in the squad it seems

Trippier not Childwell that’s a suprize.
Sterling is a joke given his form.
Will be interesting to hear his plan later.

Would've preferred Shaw/Chillwell for Trippier and Grealish for Sterling.

Not sure where he heard it but a fella in the pub last night was saying Southgate is going to start Rashford and Sterling along with Kane, utter madness if it's true, you have one of the best up and coming attacking midfielders in the world in Foden and he's on the bench, and instead he starts two players woefully short of any sort of form and neither could lace Fodens boots.
I really hope the bloke was wrong.
What is it with England managers, they always seem to go with the tried and tested, but always failing, rather than something fresh and exciting.

Spot on
Which pub?
Wasn’t LP local was it

Think Mings is the real weak link.
Maybe Trippier is to cover the lack of pace in the middle like Walker on the right.
But he plays with Stones so that’s understandable.

8/10 he got Rashford wrong.

Just an absolute baffling selection
2 of the best left backs around and he plays a right back.
God I despise Southgate he’s just got no balls whatsoever.
We might win but it won’t be because of the manager.

Not a bad starting lineup.

All I would swap is White for Mings (who should be sat on a beach now, not in the England squad) and Grealish for Sterling.

There is lots of social media talk that it’s going to be a back 5 plus 2 sitting

Pickford

James
Walker
Stones
Shaw
Trippier

Rice
Phillips/Henderson

Sterling
Kane
Rashford

You need to get off social media and stop believing everything you read.

True lol
If it goes tits up he’s going to need steel ones

 

[clubchamp98]

Have they got a wizard right winger who cuts in a lot?
That’s the only reason I can see for Trippier playing.

Ok who had 4 mins for the first mention of “it’s coming home”

Yes just come on here we make our own crap up.

Yep, he should listen to me instead......

I've just been reading an article that had this as the starting line up.......

GK: Jordan Pickford

RB: Kyle Walker

CB: John Stones

CB: Tyrone Mings

LB: Kieran Trippier

CDM: Declan Rice

CDM: Kalvin Phillips

CAM: Mason Mount

LW: Raheem Sterling

RW: Phil Foden

ST: Harry Kane

Seems to be lots of different opinions on what Southgate's going to do.

I agree Sterlings poor form this season doesn’t warrant a start and to leave out Grealish one of the few really creative players we have is maddening.

I would like to know Southgate’s reasoning for playing a right back at left back, one of Trippiers strength is his crosses which you won’t get the benefit playing on the left.

To cautious a approach for me can see a more positive approach later in the game when it’s to late.

 

[fundy]

as an arsenal fan the square pegs in round holes approach is one i recognise well especially at left back lol

Totally agree. I'm predicting Grealish and Rashford on for Sterling and Mount between 60 and 70 minutes.

 

[Kellfire]

Sancho not even in the squad. Southgate is a very strange manager at times.
