England v Iran - Mon 21st Nov, 13:00 | Group B | World Cup 2022

[SamBlue]

It will never happen, but I would like to see this eleven
_ _ _ _ Pickford _ _ _ _
TAA Stones Maguire Shaw
_ Mount Rice Grealish _
~ Saka Sterling Foden _

 

[Gorton_Tubster]

I think we'll have first game nerves or too much pressure to win, hopepfully come out of it with something because Wales and USA will be tougher than we think if we're not mentally ready.

 

[Danny Hoekman]

The Telegraph reporting Foden not in the starting XI.

I’d have that team to! For that to happen Kane would have to have an injury that puts him out of the World Cup! Southgate will start Kane every game even if he is shit for 2 games

So I would guess:
-----------------Pickford
Trippier---Stones---Maguire---Shaw
-------------------Rice
--------Mount?-------Bellingham?
Sterling---------Kane-----------Saka

Midfield is my only question mark, he loves Mount so I think he's a shoe-in and probably Bellingham.


Surely it's not:
-----------------Pickford
------Stones---Maguire---3rd CB
Trippier-------Rice----------------Shaw
---------------Mount/Bellingham?
---Sterling--------Kane-----------Saka

The Telegraph reporting Foden not in the starting XI.

No surprise really, he’s not played that well in recent England games. Obviously he should be in the team somewhere but that moron boregate has opted for an extra shit centre half at the expense of an attacking player against the mighty Iran.

I think we will beat Iran tomorrow comfortably, something like 3-0. We just have better players than they do, it's as simple as that.

I know people will moan about Southgate not picking Foden, Grealish etc. However, he's picked the players to go to a World Cup final and a Euros final. He's earned the right to pick the team he feels will do what he wants them to do. Also we don't need to try 3 at the back - keep it 4-4-2 or 4-2-3-1 type formations as otherwise the players can't play it!

I think we will top the group with 2 wins against Iran and the US and a draw with Wales. I expect us and Wales to go through.

 

[Alan Harper's Tash]

You’ve got to question how any of our papers know our line up for tomorrow.

 

[Mr Kobayashi]

So I would guess:
-----------------Pickford
Trippier---Stones---Maguire---Shaw
-------------------Rice
--------Mount?-------Bellingham?
Sterling---------Kane-----------Saka

Swap the wingers and 4231 with mount as the AM and you probably have it spot on.

 

[MCFC1993]

Bellingham looks to be starting as well.

They might as well tell us the XI now.
