EUROS 2024

Don Pacifico

QuincyAbeyie depends how bad the manager is and how good Mbappe is. 😉

MistaT

Southgate dropping the hammer!

No initial spot for Rashford or Henderson is mighty bold.

Curious how he’ll fit Foden, Saka and Bellingham in, and if Palmer can sneak in.

and who starts on the left (Grealish vs Gordon)?

Meatwad

MistaT
there is no room for saka AND foden if one of them isn't on the left.

Qwiss

MistaT and who starts on the left (Grealish vs Gordon)?

he'd be mad to start Grealish over Gordon. Though he may start neither.

Palmer definitely shouldn't start either. The only question he needs to ask is does he play Bellingham deeper. If not then Foden left, Saka right. Simple. If he does then you have some questions on the left.

Clrnc

Quansah over Tomori is wild.

Adam Wharton really deserves the call up. What a superb player

Pepe LeFrits

Clrnc Quansah over Tomori is wild.

I think he has looked really impressive. Maguire still being first choice CB Is the wild part to me

Claudius

Meatwad good problems to have. Maguire will protect whoever plays

MistaT

Can't be fussed with sorting out defenders, but something like this may work nicely.

----------------Kane -------
-- Gordon -- Bellingham -- Saka --
--------- Rice ------ Gallahger ---

I'd also be curious to see if a Watkins and Kane partnership could work. Some sort of narrow/adventurous 4-4-2...feels like something Wenger could get humming along until the midfield gets exposed vs a top team.

------------ Watkins --- Kane --------
Grealish -- Bellingham -- Rice -- Saka

RowJimmy

I expect Foden to play on the left. He will certainly start.

Meatwad

would be very southgateish to not start foden.

Claudius

Qwiss Chelsea fans will riot. Everywhere on social media they treat this guy like the second coming of Lampard or something

Qwiss

Claudius and look where shoe horning Lampard along with Gerrard into the same team got England. Southgate needs to realise Palmer is just a poor mans Foden.

JazzG

Southgate needs to show some balls and make difficult decisions and drop big players. He can't fit them all in and if he tried he'll just upset the balance of the team.

Also how the fuck is Grealish in the squad ahead of Sancho/Rashford? I am also surprised he dropped Rashford. Rashford has had a very mixed season but the whole Man Utd team is in turmoil. England don't really have many players who are genuine game changers, even off the bench Rashford would bring something different. Actually think being away from the Man Utd squad would probably do him good and he'd perform better.

Claudius

JazzG £100m Grealish has 3 goals and 3 assists this year

JazzG

Claudius £100m Grealish has 3 goals and 3 assists this year

And then you have £53m Matheus Nunes has about 15/16 PL starts this season, this is what we were up against!

Sicario2 - Tier 1

Got a gut feeling Germany will win the Euros with Kai being their outstanding player

Clrnc

Sicario2 - Tier 1 Germany squad is poor.

I fancy Portugal actually

JazzG

Favourites are France imo, after that you'd think maybe England but they have history of choking. I think Germany are definitely dark horses going into this.

Claudius

Portugal na England have strongest teams. France have Mbappe.

awooga83

Rashford has been very poor this season I think its the right decision he's not in this time there are more interesting wider squad players to look at from this season.

Gurgen

I know there is a tedency to overrate domestic players but various countries have much better players than England and France is one of them.
