No I'd just move Walker to RB, and then if Young was needed after that then yes I'd be content with it. I still cant think of a scenario where three right backs is necessary.
He’s on sky quite a bit at the moment, genuinely clueless.No wonder no-one wants to fucking hire him
I don't know what's weirdest in that snapshot - Maradona as chairman in Belarus or that XI!
Thinking about it, i'd have rather Southgate had picked Foden. Probably too early for him, but we are desperately lacking creativity.
That team would be murdered by a decent side. It’s not because your black you can’t get a decent job it’s because you ain’t got a flipping clue.
They've technically selected 6 players who all play full back! MentalThe silly selection is the three right backs, completely unnecessary and smacks of a poorly thought out flavour of the month choice that England managers tend to do at tournaments. If they wanted to select TAA it should have been instead of Trippier, not take all of them.
If Walker is selected at centre back, you can always have Young in contention on the right hand side, whilst Delph (who I think has been selected as a midfielder) still offers cover at left back, so two options on either flank as well as Walker. To then have a further RB in the squad is just such a total waste of a squad space.
I don't think any of those decisions were difficult. Maybe Rooney, but I think most managers would of dropped those players. I think more about timing than anything else.Even if you don't agree with the squad it makes a change for us to have a manager who isn't afraid to make a difficult decision and drop a player. He's seen off Rooney, Hart and Wilshere during his time in charge. I thought he might take more young players, but I guess, Loftus Cheek, Dele, Rashford & Alexandar Arnold are all young and we've probably got one of the most inexperienced squads around anyway.
Bizarrely, I think with a bit of luck in running, this England team could actually do ok.
I mean, the midfield is lacking quality, but it’s solid and round the periphery there are some decent options.
I think this is the first team for a long time that isn’t about accommodating overrated star players like Rooney, Lampard, Gerrard, Beckham into I’ll judged systems, but a bunch of young players who are all quite hard working and are coached pretty well at club level.
I don’t know why he’s taken three RB’s, especially as Young can play both sides.
It’s a real shame KWP and Winks didn’t get more football this season.
