We have been in 2 semi finals since 66 that should tell everyone we are not quite good enough.We have not had a world class manager because the FA want yes men.
However a blind man can see we need pace at the back Walker and James are fairly quick.Midfield Mount,Foden and Grealish should play. The struggle is who do u pick as i believe we only have a few players who should always play.
GK ?
DEF STONES,WALKER,?,?
MID GREALISH,FODEN,MOUNT ?,?
FWD ?
There is the problem with England i can only think of 5 names who should always play.
Southgate has the media to contend with and a genuine lack of world class players.
We need a decent manager to mould a team.Fwiw i would get Mourinho who is finished as a club boss but may be able to manage internationally.
Failing that after Southgate we will end up with Phil Neville or Sean Dyche and then god help us.
