I've been fairly critical of his "defending" over the years but in fairness if it's him or the Kelvin Phillips alongside Declan Rice I know who I'm picking. I think it's an interesting dynamic which could work well and I'm hoping that when Stones steps forwards into CDM and beyond (as he does for City) then Walker will fall into a RCB position and TAA cover the RWB role as they also cover those positions pretty regularly too. A kind of dynamic system where players can actually play to their strengths would be shockingly good to see.

I actually really like TAA on the ball. There, I said it. I just hope he isn't tracking a good player back into the box at any point in the tournament though.

Not disputing that but “best passer in the world” is a fairly obscene stretch.

We can’t risk the ‘Cold Palmer’ celebration at this level. Would be highly embarrassing showing the world a malnourished scruff can bag 20 goals and make the England squad.

and assists...what does Saka offer...get to box, fall over.
 
I know, I'll take Wharton and Mainoo and Gallagher to the Euros, but what I'll do is play a right back in their position.

That'll show em.

What the **** is this clowns obsession with playing players out of position all the time?

Probably cos he's been one of our best players at the previous two tournaments.

Have to say that either Saka or Palmer starting/coming off the bench isnt too bad an option. Saka hasn’t had many bad games for England and could slot in at LB I believe
 
Honestly there's about 10 different variations of the front 4 he could have put out and all of them would have been pretty good as we're currently spoilt for choice. When you have the top scorer in the Bundesliga backed up by the payer of the year in La Liga and the player of the year in the EPL you've got a decent looking attack. Our options off the bench are impressive.

Just need our defence to not be trash. France and Holland have left CB's at home who would walk into our first 11.
