England v Switzerland - Sat 6th July, 17:00 | Euro 2024 Quarter-Final

So potentially..

Pickford

TAA (RWB), Walker, Stones, Konsa, Saka (LWB)
Rice Mainoo
Bellingham Foden
Kane

If he goes that way, its something to look forward to, AS LONG as he allows the WB's to attack and not just play as a 5 at the back.

What all three signing for the rags!!!

All been linked and a done deal.

Pep joining them on the summer.

Not sure he will suddenly go 3 at the back, it solves the Foden Bellend problem though. I would play Gordon over Saka though he has more energy for the role and is more direct.

Deep back 5 it is then:-)

You just know it. He's played 3 at the back before which was actually a 5 and we were just as defensive and couldnt get out. Difference is we now have Foden and Bellingham who can turn with the ball.

I'd like to think so, but...nah!

I see the rumour teams and I see Mainoo and I see Arnold and then I see wide open spaces in front of the defence and around the back of the defence and at the side of the defence and it's all too much. Still i hope it works out.

Just updated my OP.

I can get on board with 3 at the back if it's something similar to this:

I'd go with:
--------------Pickford
-------Walker---Stones---Konsa
TAA-----Wharton---Rice----Saka
-------Foden---Kane---Gordon

Southgate will play Bellingham and Mainoo over Gordon and Wharton.

Well yeah, Bellingham is never getting dropped.

It'll basically be that team, with Bellend and Mainoo in, as you said.
