Didn’t realise it was only Thursday for England v Holland. Would you put Kane up against van Dijk? Not sure I would, but unsure who else we have.
Of course, silly me. Would you put him in instead of Kane? It’s a game I would really like us to win, Kane is clearly, on Staurday’s evidence, not match fit and he tends to be slow coming back from injury anyway.
Probably not, he's more of a winger. I just listed the other options listed as forwards from the squad list.
Portugal, and Ronaldo, take the lead at half time in their match v Switzerland. If we can make it past Holland, don't think either of those two will be a major challenge to winning the first Nations League trophy...
Pretty much what was expected. Delph maybe a bit of a surprise, but Southgate likes him and Delle looked poor last Saturday. Will be a close game imo. The Dutch are on the up.
I'm surprised to see Rice and Delph. It looks like he might be playing a 3-4-3. We'll need Sterling and Rashford both on form tonight to carry this home. But I wouldn't be surprised to lose this one, as you say the Dutch are in good form but lack the depth that we have. Sterling is captain and wins his 50th cap. please log in to view this image
Sky have us down as 4-3-3 with Rice playing in midfield with Delph to his left and Barkley to the right.
This game is being sent free on Norwegian TV, and will be the first England game I've seen since they lost to Croatia and Belgium in the WC, so they better win tonight ffs.
