I know Dan’s fiancée’s family well - gutted for them
Bellingham isn't fully fit after that ankle injury so I'll forgive him for last 2 games, even though he was one if our best players, just below his own huge expectation. We'll need him to be unbelievable if we're to cover up the defence's errors and win the thingBellingham tries too much at times, but he's absolutely brilliant. I agee that wasn't his best game. Great first touch and finish though.
With everyone fit:
Pickford
Walker Stones Guehi Shaw
Rice, Mainoo and Bellingham
Saka, Kane and Foden.
That was Euro 2016 - the Welsh players were in the wrong there.I feel for genuine fans like you, but after the way the Welsh players celebrated England losing a few years back, I don't have a lot of sympathy.

Decent 11 but Foden out of position ? He'll be coming inside alot leaving that flank very exposed. Shaw isn't the quickest even when fit, it could be carnage down that side. So go for 6-5 wins it is !Bellingham tries too much at times, but he's absolutely brilliant. I agee that wasn't his best game. Great first touch and finish though.

Hard luck Taff. Wales first penalty shootout they said, we can commiserate with you there after losing more than any other country !That was Euro 2016 - the Welsh players were in the wrong there.
Banter is one thing but that was bang out of order.
Personally, I’d want England to win every time apart from when you play Wales![]()

Mainoo was superb, if he goes back to picking Henderson or Phillips ahead of him the Southgate should be shot. I wouldn't put it past him thoughShaw is quite quick, but I don't think he'll be fit.
Foden can move inside like he did tonight and had probably his best England game.
Mainoo, Bellingham and Foden were really fluid tonight and it was excellent to watch.
Don't suppose any of the Southgate haters will notice that we only played with one defensive midfielder.

I'd really liked to have seen Braithwaite play tonight and Palmer. With all the injuries and lack of quality at Centre back, why do you think Braithwaite never got at least a half, after Dunk's exploits and Stones injury ?I really don't think he will.
Not sure he'll start Mainoo, but I would.

Twas ever thus ! Friendlies mean **** all at the end of the day thoughLyndon Dykes couldn't even score against Norn Ireland tonight...Scotland look like they're going to be the whipping boys at the Euros

Spot on Taff…. I get the age old rivalry - my father was a die hard and couldn’t support England in the rugby ever. But growing up with no Wales in any tournament meant getting behind England and the other home nations who were there.That was Euro 2016 - the Welsh players were in the wrong there.
