Idk, but it looks very dynamic/creative, good balance too

Looks like most Southgate teams to me. I guess we’ll see how progressive Saka and Bellingham are as they’re the interesting selections.

There isn’t really anyone for him to lose his place to :woman_shrugging:

These are the last two games before a World Cup and he’s playing players who he already knows well.

It’s so Southgate.

Trent and Jack are never being trusted are they.

Southgate’s reluctance to play left footed players at LB is really something. He just can’t bring himself to make a hard decision about dropping some RBs from the team so instead he just doesn’t pick LBs (or only picks one like this squad, and its Shaw who hasn’t even played for United hardly this season) and plays Trippier or Walker. Its really crazy when you think about it. A clear example of prioritizing the politics of squad selection over the quality of the side you actually put on the field.

Kyle Walker may be a better overall player than Tyrick Mitchell or James Justin but he isn’t a better LB. Same with Trippier.

It sounds like this’ll be Walker RCB and Saka LWB.

It’s a decent setup if you wanted to attack.

However this is Southgate.

Lovely rendition of god save the king. Lovely way to honour the queen.

Yeah, I was curious about it. Obviously his move to City is a huge opportunity for him to be part of a side more or less guaranteed to win the league but he’s never going to really play regularly for City.

I wondered if maybe Southgate would do something wild like play Eric Dier in midfield with Rice.

#2301

That is fecking awful. So yeah that is something Southgate would do.

Would you say it’d produce dire results? :laca2:

Bellingham has to be a starter for me.

You play him over Phillips?

Also, @Calum my brother’s band is playing Glasgow tonight. Buy a ticket so he can hit it big and I can ride his coattails to a life of luxury and awful plastic surgery.

Don’t get Saka at LWB.

#2309

Saka about as useless as you’d expect.

#2310

Cant believe they cancelled real football for 14 days to give space for this shite.

#2311

He doesn’t want to go forward, because Maguire is exposed if possession is lost. And if Saka isn’t going forward, then it’s pointless playing him, especially when you play him completely out of position.

Imagine how Saka would be for us, if he didn’t have White or Tomi behind him.
