Jarell Quansah played 33 games this season mostly with Van Dijk, and at times kept Konate out of the team who will be starting for France! Only made two errors all season, when some make two errors per game! 🤐 Very high ceiling in my opinion and is comfortable going forward with the ball and making progressive passes 👌🏾

[@lukemartin8887]

It's very simple: GK - Pickford LB - Shaw RB - Walker CB - Stones CB - Branthwaite DM - Rice Box to Box - Bellingham CAM - Palmer LW - Foden RW - Saka ST - Kane Forget Maguire, you give Branthwaite a chance, with one eye on the future. You play Shaw in the group matches so he gets his match fitness up to speed. You bring Trippier in to LB if need be. Rice ABSOLUTELY can play DM and do that defensive duty. He's proven it at Arsenal, with Havertz and Odegaard (both attacking players) playing next to him. You play Foden LW and Palmer as the CAM, but you instruct both to switch positions throughout the game, so Foden can drift into the centre where he is more dangerous and effective. Bellingham can play the Box to Box role, and he can put his foot in and win the ball just as well as he can go forward. You DO NOT play Bellingham CAM, otherwise you lose out on Palmer and Foden. You DEFINITELY take Eze, as an impact off the bench, as he opens things up, like no other player England have. (I'm slightly bias, as a QPR fan, but I've seen first hand how he makes things happen. He's ridiculously good) That team and setup, CHALLENGES for trophies. But Safegate won't do that. He will play Maguire, feel the need to protect him by playing 3 in midfiled, and he will leave Foden out on LW or bring him on, off the bench. Attack is the best form of defence. Yes, our defence is our weakness. Therefore, PLAY TO YOUR STRENGTH, which is our attacking prowess. Alas, it will be 3 in midfield and we will go out in the Quarters because Safegate has no backbone.

[@shaunholmes9900]

Would say Bellingham or Mainoo as box to box. At 19 years old Mainoo scary as he like a 26 year old in his prime already.

[@Andy-hy3vz]

FINALLY someone has given TAA a shout at left back! it would be the perfect solution to the injury crisis. He can step in and invert plus he can cover left footed LW's that cut in as he will be on his stronger right side

[@SirMonkeySuit]

Toney has really fallen off a cliff, did nothing for Brentford after coming back and his attitude just feels like it stinks. Solanke should be going, yes he's 3rd choice and may not play but just take him and give him the experience. Toney doesn't deserve to go. You don't even need 3 out and out strikers, Gordon played there when they won the Under 21's tournament, Palmer can play there as a false 9. All that won't happen unless both Kane and Watkins got injured anyway which won't happen. So take the players that deserve it.

[@thanhshaw1020]

For me the only reason I would have him in the squad is because he has a really good penalty record. He’s been lacklustre since returning from his suspension.

[@SirMonkeySuit]

@@thanhshaw1020 Yes, he is a great penalty taker but I think we have too much proof and too many instances of players being subbed on for penalties is a bad idea.

You would back Toney to score a pen no matter what, even if he doesn’t kick a ball until the penalty shootout, he’s scoring it. In a 26 man squad you take him over taking someone else who isn’t going to get any minutes as they have literally nothing to offer, Toney does, so he goes.

Get what you’re saying mate. I think Bowen is class. On the right or down the middle. But the fact is. Saka and Palmer are before him on the left. And he’s not playing over Kane or Watkins in the middle. We are In an era like 98. I remember it. We were leaving Cole,Wrighty,fowler at home because we had so much depth. It’s unfortunate.

In my squad I dropped Toney and Grealish in favour of Guehi and Eze. I just feel like Toney wouldn't get any minutes at all with how brilliant Watkins and Kane are, plus his form has been kinda poor for Brentford since returning. I see the arguments around penalties but does that warrant him a place? I feel like considering its very possible Shaw won't be fit enough, and given Stones and Maguires recent injury proneness, we need as much cover as possible in the defensive positions. As for Eze over Grealish I think its just a no-brainer for me, even as a City fan - Eze has been much better this year and offers way more of a threat

If things were a bit closer between them I'd understand, but Butland is so far ahead in form, fitness and consistency at the moment it's mind boggling he hasn't made the list. This weekend will be his 57th appearance in all comps this year (including the Europa League). Henderson, Trafford and Ramsdale have just 59 between them, with almost no European Football (Ramsdale made one early appearance). Butland is ahead in almost every metric, except the 'plays in England' one. It isn't the first instance of Southgate ignoring strong talent playing in other leagues either.

I can't really argue with any of your decisions... the one I'm so uncertain of is Maddison. I would have agreed with you if not for his contribution against Belgium. Maddison's assist was brilliant and creative in a tight space... given he's not likely to play unless we're chasing a goal in the last 30 mins I wonder if he can't give you that little spark for one of the forwards to latch onto.

He deserves to be on top... at least left wing... I don't see him fitting in the midfield... you need someone with good defensive skills there... a midfielder needs to be a little bit of everything while having a good vision for the field... that's why Bernardo fits very well... he doesn't shine that well in any position but he has a bit of everything. Maybe Gallagher would be fine more to control the possession and the counters... you need someone to stop the iniciative of the opponent right from the midfield... Foden just ain't it. Rice and Gallagher make a great duo in my head. Foden is to the attack, Wharton goes to the bench to play on the other side. Wharton and Maino for fresh legs

At least Pedro Gonçalves or as he's called Pote, who played a very good season. Some have doubts about Pedro Neto on the squad since he has been injured. Also, Matheus Nunes ain't on the list due to his phisical conditions. Overall you can't please everyone can you... only 26 spots... we have some fresh legs with João Neves from Benfica and Francisco Conceição from Porto. Roberto Martinez likes Conceição since he can bring the ball forward on the flanks... he's fast and good on one o ones... although a bit scrappy on the last shot... when facing the gk... And Neves has a very good and competitive spirit... he can go far... I am currently not expecting much from Portugal since there is a good and strong competition. It will depend on how they start the Euro's... England and France are my top favourites to win. Would be interesting to see a clash between the two at some point. Then there's Germany and Spain who have a tendency to show some good tactics and good, strong and attacking football even if they don't have the best players. Then Italy of course... always a pain in the *ss to play against Italian tactics... Atalanta played very well against Leverkusen yesterday... I shall see how Martinez wants to put Portugal to play in the Euro's... there are 5 center backs and 3 defensive midfielders on the list... gives me flashbacks of 2016... we got very lucky back then... that won't repeat again...

With more fitness (not injured till last few games of the season), Guehi is in the starting 11 for me next to Stones. Can use both feet and normally plays as the left sided CB. Think Tyrick Mitchell should have got call up as back-up Left Back. Eze can play anywhere in midfield three or on either wing, for that versatility he should be going over some of the players you picked.

Why is the audio so damn low. Is it just me ??

[@peterspaulding5584]

Trent needs to start. He needs to play. His long passing is unparalleled in the modern game.

[@NathanPearse]

The audio is way too quite on this video.

[@CabralsSon]

dropping eze whos arguably one of the most in form plays on the team is criminal. especially for toney when if worst came to worst you could play bowen up top

[@carloperkins6719]

it's crazy that harvey elliot isn't even getting mentioned

[@chrisward2k]

This isn’t England’s tournament, but the World Cup will be

[@mgguz]

Can someone explain the Ben white England situation I still don’t get it

[@tomashogberg8514]

I agreed with your reasoning all they way to the near end. Toney should be dropped instead of Eze, otherwise you're spot on Jimbo

[@Shorkie]

If I'm honest I would of gone with Maddison and Bowen, I feel the fact Eze has not been called up until this late is a big ask, where Maddison has performed well and for England shown he can do it with that assist for Bellingham to draw the game, and for Bowen I feel he can cover the wings and be a striker if we need to incase of injuries whereas Toney can't cover the same depth, using a 3rd choice striker is rare so I'd go for versatility over quality

[@harryhunter9002]

I’m taking the piss but imagine this team against like a San Marino or something: Kane Saka Bellingham Foden Palmer Mainoo Trent Rice Stones Walker Pickford Just put all our best players in one team lol I get it wouldn’t work but would be funny

[@zainebrewer5957]

No mention of Rashford

[@scottcrowder22]

I know the LB position has been a big issue for England. Mitchell should’ve been in contention here. Even someone like Kyle Walker-Peters is fit and can do a job at LB if needed.

[@overratedfool6900]

Shows a stat that puts Maddison as the most creative English player this season and says to remember it for later, then never brings it up or really talks about Maddison again lol. Grealish (just don't know why he's even in), Toney (attitude and form suck plus don't need three up top) and Shaw (let's be honest) out. Maddison (offers something that nobody else does), Eze (he's just too good to not include) and Guehi in.

[@DuncanMcCreadie-bw5hv]

What are you on? Are you related to Southgate?

[@amarthered]

You don't need Grealish and Toney, Gordon/Bellingham can play as a striker if Kane and Watkins get injured.
