Gordon has been superior to Rashford this season . Simple as. He is quick enough.

@leedscity6881 29 күн бұрын

And he seems to have the right attitude...

@wd2918 25 күн бұрын

Gordon won't stop running and trying to attack including recovering the ball quickly. These are aspects Rashford does not posses. Sure he can come up with a big moment but I'd take Gordon over him every day of the week

Its tricky isn't it. Maguire has improved and his heading in defence is solid but there's no getting around that face that he has an attribute that no-one can do anything about - he's too slow. In games where the difference of winning and losing is one goal against equal opposition, teams like Francs will target the strategy that involves beating him in a foot race to be the difference. The group games are window dressing. It will seem that all is well right up to that critical moment when England get knocked out

@happilyeggs4627 Ай бұрын

There is no way that Rashford deserves to be in this squad. He’s not the most skilful and he doesn’t put crosses in. You know, opposition defenders know, to show him down the line. All Rashford wants to do is cut inside and shoot into legs.

@Slinky82 Ай бұрын

It's always the same type of shot too, a knuckle ball , same on his crosses aswel There is hardly any variation in his play

When has Eric Dier had a good tournament for ENG? Outside of the opening game he was poor at Euro 2016. He has limited game time in 2018 and wasn't in the squad for Euro 2020 and had virtually no game time in WC 2022.

@cameronpeterson5961 Ай бұрын

Hopefully this wakes Rashford up. Man U is incapable of giving him a punishment, but maybe not going to Euros will work

@nathanhighlander Ай бұрын

To make it 26, I would without doubt - drop: Henderson, Konza, Maguire, Dunk, Bowen, and Watkins. If Eze as a forward, it means you leave Foden/ Gordon/ Palmer. So I have leave him because of that. But if Eze is a midfield, I would drop Jones instead. But this is a 50-50 to me. Jones is wonderful but Elliot should be there too. I eliminate 3 central defenders who are not that good. While the midfield is perfection for me - with Jude & Foden be there as well. But it depends on how Southgate "play/ use" them. YNWA!

The squad has an Achilles heel in the left back and and wound that has not healed over the years in the center back pairing. Why Harry Maguire continue remain the ONLY center back that Gareth Southgate is counting on? Players form dwindles with age and lack of games. Though we see Harry Maguire back in contention with his recent appearances on the pitch for Manchester United, he is, in many's opinion, far from being superior in game readiness going forward into the Euro. Can Southgate be clinical enough, simply give up on Maguire and go for someone a bit more agile, quicker in turns, and stronger in duals playing alongside the likes of John Stones? Luke Shaw is good only if he is fit to play. He is a must, unfortunately, for selection but again, very risky and vulnerable for injuries. Say he is OK to play but got injured in the first game and sidelined, who can step in now? You got to come up with a better answer and re select Luke Shaw's replacement. Not just in case, it is a must, a priority, and the most important player to come up with (not in the list of the 33 players)!

@@zerionistalking more about his defensive approach to games rather than formation... you can play a back 5 and be attacking like Xabi Alonso or play a back 4 and be defensive like Dyche its all about the intent/approach you want your team to have.

On paper, England has one of the best squad they have in years compared to the other teams. I think only France and maybe has a better set of players. But they are going to blow their chance by not getting a good manager.

@hailyrizzo5428 Ай бұрын

@@hyywe240 the key phrase in my comment is 'compared to other teams'. In years of your gerrard, rooney and beckhams, England had to face off with superstars like Xavi, Iniesta, Bergkamp, Koeman, Pirlo, Nesta, Inzaghi, Ballack, Lahm, young Muller, Henry, old Zidane even etc etc. They were good but the other European teams had better players. Both on paper as well as in terms of actual results. Who is playing for Netherlands, Italy, Germany and even Spain now? France, I mention is the one who still have superstar players. Portugal and Belgium are strong but no longer have the services of prime CR and Hazard. Whereas players like Bellingham, Foden, Rice, Palmer, Saka haven't even hit their prime but have become mainstays of their respective clubs. Again, it comes down to coaching. I won't be surprise if the other European teams surpass England because they have better coaching and tactics

Shaw aint going so that LB spot is Void to me. Tripps is in bad form and not a proper LB same with some other backups. I think going to a back 3 should be decided on. 3-2-4-1
