WE ARGUE ABOUT ENGLAND'S BEST STARTING XI (WORLD CUP SPECIAL) | Team Talk Ep. 4

► SPONSOR THIS VIDEO: [e-mail]
----------
Over the last six years, Football Daily has forged a reputation for sensible, stats-driven football chat.
On this show, we probably undo most of that good work...
Welcome to Team Talk - where the Football Daily WhatsApp group is brought to life!
In episode 4, we argue about England’s best starting XI for the upcoming World Cup in Qatar.
- Can Southgate really keep the faith with Jordan Pickford after the season he’s had with Everton?
- Does Maguire deserve to keep his spot in the face of stiff competition from Fikayo Tomori and Ben White?
- Should Jadon Sancho be included in the squad?
Let us know your thoughts in the comments below...

This new show is amazing. So much hilarious banter that seems a bit behind the scenes hahaha

[@dennishansen6421]

Pat is 100% correct about that Foden argument. The stats he is putting up is normal from promising young wingers in dominate teams. We have seen so many exampels of players that has put up better numbers in less dominate teams like Sancho, Dembele, Coman, Son Oyarzabal, Carrasco, Coutinho, Mane, Mount, Bruno and so on. Manchester City has so many players in there team who does the same as Foden like Mahrez, Sterling, Grealish, Bernardo Silva. Manchester City could easily sell him for 100m+ and buy Oyarzabal for half the pice and you would have a huge upgarde on every thing Foden does.

[@ColbyMcDowell]

Everyone that u mentioned r pure wingers, Foden is playing a new position (CF) this season is still 2nd in THAT team, he’s better than the other two, I’m sorry but that’s how I see it

[@dennishansen6421]

@@ColbyMcDowell most of the people I mentioned are not pure wingers. If Foden is going to play permanently in that false 9 role Manchester city would be better of keeping Ferran, or play KDB, Gundogan, B. Silva. If he is going to play on the wing City is better of playing Mahrez, Sterling, Bernardo Silva. If City is going to play him at CAM then KDB, Gundogan, B. Silva all are better. Foden is easily replaceable, something you can't say about Bellingham or Pedri who have been consistently starting for teams and carried them at times. Bellingham and Pedri plays regularly Foden plays ones in a while

[@jennagreaves4857]

@@dennishansen6421 The last part of your statement is wrong, Foden plays most minutes for city when fit

[@dennishansen6421]

@@jennagreaves4857 What are you talking about? He dosent even come close to playing most of the minutes when fit. Bellingham and Pedri has played more minutes than Foden, thats despite them being sevral years younger than Foden. Pedri has been out with injuries half a season. Foden hasent really had any injuries. When Pedri hasent played for Barca, Barca looked like they wasnt even going to play European football next season, but when he has played Barca has looked like the best team in the league. Bellingham has been Dortmunds best midfeider 2 seasons in a row, and when he has not been playing Dormund points per game has fallen down 0,6 points. When Foden plays for Manchester City they get 0,2 less points per game, conceding almost 10% more often when he plays compered to when he dosent play

[@aayushrai8881]

The disrespect for Henderson is mad. If you're going to play TAA in a 4-3-3, having Henderson in midfield provides a lot more balance than Mount or Bellingham.

[@leo67117]

it’s not mad. he’s a decent midfielder that found a perfect role in his current situation. put him in any other club and he’ll be just another guy.

[@bobbystevens9858]

That is exactly why Reece James or Kyle Walker should start. All 3 right backs are world class, however, if you have Trent in then you'll need to compensate in other parts of the pitch. People that pick Trent forget balance and that football is a team game.

[@bennrangphet7590]

@@bobbystevens9858 it doesn’t matter because we’ll play a back 5 anyway

[@amolmehrotra1296]

@@leo67117 Henderson has only played for two clubs and he has played really well in both, so this theory he will be just another guy is just speculation at this point. Just look at the evidence in front of you instead of relying on ifs and butts.

[@amolmehrotra1296]

@@bobbystevens9858 if TAA is a bad defender how come his defensive stats are comparable or better than Reece James and Walker for past two to three seasons and creative numbers are through the roof. Overall TAA is one of the most creative player in the world, its like saying England has KDB but still decides to play Jonjo shelvey week in and week out.

[@bigburrito2373]

the thing is, England need to play a 343 with the defenders they have. Stones, White, and Tomori would easily be the best back line and players like Chilwell, Trent, and Reece James would be excellent as wing backs. as for the midfield, it should 100% be a pairing of Rice and Bellingham running that midfield. Talents like Kane and Foden and Mount and Sterling would all benefit from a free flowing forward line that has a lot of support coming from the wingbacks as well as Bellingham and Rice being excellent in their dynamism. ( I don't even want to hear anyone say anything about Trent not being able to play wingback, saying he needs to be in a back 4 with someone like Salah ahead of him. you are wrong and a clown. )

[@matthewraft9614]

tbh trent would be even better with a back five with more defensive cover allowing him to bomb forward more

[@ehsanhuq4605]

We wont need to play a back 5, we need to use our attack

[@utkarshgupta1774]

Man said Henderson has been terrible ??????? Bruh mans gone mad

[@maw86]

Joe's logic in the first games makes 100% sense. You have to consider why you play that player, why you bench one, why you sell one. The logic doesn't only apply to whom you start, otherwise it would be a basic 1st, 2nd, 3rd rating game.

Bad call calling Henderson Terrible this season, man has played 38 games in all competitions, has been consistent bar few hectic games back to back where Liverpool couldn't rotate due to injuries and has even chipped in quality goals and assists, if Hendo was terrible Liverpool wouldn't be where they are now - competing for all the top four trophies. Man is such an underrated player and should be England's captain over Harry Kane.

[@Thomas-cx6jh]

Imagine if you are a center back and you're playing solid every week, in great form and you realise no matter how good you play, or how bad Maguire plays, he will still get picked ahead of you. It's fucked up considering Southgate has previously dropped players for not playing regularly but that's double standards i guess..
