at this point he would be 34 after the euros no?
if he even makes the squad he should be retired after it no matter what.
he's a weak link in the first 11 along with Maguire
this is possibly the first tournament England should be genuine 100% favourites to win. only Southgate can **** thst.
pickford (weak link)
walker stones maguire(weak) shaw(weak)
trent rice
saka Bellingham foden (not the flopper)
kane
a nice 4231 to get the most from the genuine attacking options and trent fills in at 6.
I expect to see foden benched for grealish who just wants to flop
I expect trent to sit out and henderson play
I don't know if Shaw will be fit but he does alright for England attacking wise but is and always has bee positional suspect.
Maguire is a real weak link in that and pickford is poor with ball at feet and obviously with his tragically short arms.
if England can focus in the positives, and that front 6 I name are massive positives, then there's enough to win this imo.
the main teams to watch as France and Spain. the hosts Germany have a lot to do.
if we get to last 4 and put in henderson and grealish we are shooting ourselves in the foot.
then after this euros henderson is gone. no major international side would not retire and aging journeyman. he is not messi or Ronaldo.
England favourites? France say hello…
