Really not impressed with Phillips, much rather see Bellingham.
Girthy Gareth with 4 at the back again. With only 2 more friendlies before the Euros it looks like that’s his formation thankfully.
Maddison seems to get injured when ever the internationals come up, incredable talent though I'd argue our best offensive midfielder.Saka won’t go now I don’t think. Shaw and Chilwell cover LB and he’s behind Sterling, Rashford, Sancho, Foden and Grealish on the wings. Maddison and Barnes will miss out too.
Tough competition with Foden and Grealish. Even Mount is good. Loads of options there for England.Maddison seems to get injured when ever the internationals come up, incredable talent though I'd argue our best offensive midfielder.
Think Sancho and Trent will based on historical performances and media pressure. The way the pundits were going on about Trent because he put in a great cross against us, going on about him being the best RB in the world over the last two years and how this is him responding to being dropped was just weird to watch.Agree with Carragher and Neville, Maddison, Saka, Sancho, Trent etc will not make the squad.
Who do you leave out for Sancho? Think Neville and Carra picked Kane, DCL, Sterling, Grealish, Foden and Rashford in front of him.Think Sancho and Trent will based on historical performances and media pressure.

I wouldn't leave out any of them, maybe leave out DCL and have Rashford in as a wing option and backup CF. I reckon he'd squeeze in Sancho at the expense of a defender or something.Who do you leave out for Sancho?

He has to pick between one of Walker/James/AWB as the athletically elite fullback who nullifies the counter and is hard to beat off the dribble. AWB the best defensively but the power of the other two puts them only slightly behind him in that category imo. James is the best two way threat of the bunch and Walker comes with the experience as well as probably being the quickest of the three.Think Southgate should really have been trying to win over AWB more than he has. Lockdown full backs like Ashley Cole used to be for England are great as they let you play with a 4.
AWB one side and Shaw the other works really well for Utd and rather than Trippier who I think is better in a 5 it lets him fit in another midfielder.
Mount is in my XI in midfield with Rice & Henderson. He should not be playing on the wings for England imo.If the idea is to play Mount or Lingard in a forward position (LW, RW) that would be an utter waste. they either play as a CM or not at all, we have too much talent on the wings, with Rashford, Foden, Sancho, Grealish, Sterling, and Saka.
