No doubt the 10Ks per week club wages, paid rain or shine, will dull any pain of not being called up for a Euro tournament that England will not win, with or without them.
Skip to 1:10 for Hojbjerg's announcement Or watch the whole thing because it's a rather creative way to announce the squad ...or 1:35 for the Danish CB we like being linked with
Greenwood’s pulled out of the Euros squad. Not sure he would’ve played too much anyway, may not even have made the initial cut.
Oh well, back to the 23rd round of the greatest injustice in football history: Trent Alexander-Arnold not making the England squad...
The first sentence is probably caused by the second. Nice to see that some Man Utd traditions don't go away.
Squad announced. He’s taking all 4 RBs. My guess is that he sees TAA and Trippier as good options as more attacking RBs in some games, and also sees TAA as capable of covering midfield, and Walker can cover CB. From that I’d pick, in a 433 D.Henderson James Maguire Stones Shaw Henderson Rice Mount Foden Kane Sterling
That England squad excites me. Could easily win the euros. Although centre half does worry me slightly
Lots of exciting attacking options but yeah, the defence is worrying. As much as I’d like to see us play 433 or 4231 I think Southgate will stick with the more conservative 3 at the back, with Walker as a CB. I think he’s most likely to pick: Pickford Walker Maguire Stones TAA Henderson Rice Shaw Foden Kane Sterling Though I always feel we play less exciting football like this so I’m not sold on it. CB is a major worry though, if you could drop in the peak Ferdinand/Terry partnership then this team would be elevated for sure.
Think I’d go for: Pickford Trent/ James, Maguire, Stones, Shaw Rice, Henderson Foden, Mount, Grealish Kane We all know it’s gonna be some five at the back bollocks though whilst keeping the two DMs as well.
Hasn’t picked Lingard for the final squad but is gonna start him in the warmup game tomorrow against Austria. Sound logic.
