England Squad - Euro 2024

[SebastianBlue]

Not going to moan about his provisional squad as there isn't that much to realistically moan about :)

I'm content to wait for his 1st match lineup and to see how he's approaching the match.

Translation: “I am going to wait for the lineup for the opening Euros match before rightly criticising Southgate’s incompetence.”

Gomez should be nowhere near the squad, can't imagine Quansah is anywhere near ready.

Pep's always said he wants a team of midfielders as that's generally where the game's won.

The named midfield looks weak, Rice is excellent and I agree you do need a dirty aggressive type, so surely either Jones Or Gallagher? Ward-Prowse should be in, Mainoo surely no!!!!

Must be gutting for Kalvin that the move and loan haven't worked otherwise he would be in.

The good news is there's a bucket full of attacking midfielder/ striker's named. Phil, Jack, Madison and Palmer.

Watkins has had strong season and deserves his chance, Toney doesn't. Solanke has also had a good season and should have been a possibility.
Genuinely happy for Branthwaite, Eze and Wharton who've all had breakout seasons and deserve their chances.

The same Ward Prowse who let Phil destroy him twice on Sunday? No thanks. If you could bring him on for set pieces then take him off again fine.

Don’t worry, mate, the American ownership groups are working on that.

Ha ha.

I'm actually hoping to say he's got it right.

Unfortunately I'm not that confident I will be praising him,for a change.

On a brighter note,at least his provisional squad isn't that terrible.

How many from this squad do not make the final squad.
Maddison for me is the one I would not include in the final squad.
His form is average at best the last few months.

Would imagine he'll emulate Guardiola and ask Maguire to play the Gvardiol role...

 

[give it to gordon]

Waistcoats presser has basically answered the question

Foden isn't starting as a 10

Foden playing left back

Yeah I am saying you don't sacrifice either. You get others to sacrifice their game so they can do their best work.

Bernardo probably has a preferred position but he plays wherever he is asked and puts the work in so the team wins. If Kovacic plays, Rodri sometimes pushes further forwards.

Rice has to sit even if he's not as good, because the other players are so much better. And similarly the defensive shape has to be one that enables Phil and Bellingham to do their best work.

But Phil is the key.

Try telling the Waistcoat that.
