Outstanding work from Southgate managing to pick a lineup without a right back :lol: :lol:

TAA injured and out, Walker and James still not available due to Chelsea and City being in Champs League final, Trippier played on Thursday so being rested. Looks like Godfrey at right back.

Champions League final was a week ago. They're professional athletes. Surely if there's any point at all to these friendlies, it's to tune a team for the tournament.

Good question, out of the starters you'd think Grealish, Rashford and Shaw are the three realistically who have a chance to start against Croatia.

Don’t know why Rashford is in the squad based on recent form .

Definitely. He’s been really poor for some time now.

I don’t think he will start in the tournament tbh

Sounds about right to me, I'd add Mings to that list if Gareth goes 3 at the back in the Croatia game.

But it does seem bizarre to have warm up games and not play your 1st XI and try and get some sort of continuity.

Interesting that he's picked the eve of a tournament to give Sam Johnstone his debut, I understand he'll need blooding at some point, but you'd have thought he'd have given Dean Henderson a game if he's going to be the number 2.

Jordan Henderson to get 45 minutes, so I'm guessing they'll be wholesale changes at HT.

But I honestly can't see many of this starting XI featuring in the opening match.

Agreed 100% but you know out of Foden, Grealish, Sancho, Kane, Sterling, Mount and Rashford the front three will be Kane, Sterling and Rashford with Southgate in charge.

Can’t even see England getting to the last 8 tbh, but Gareth will prob keep his job, get a contract extension, and we will continue being in the wildernesses. Mings!! Christ on a bike.

It’s like when you decide to camp next door to an electric sub station.

It’s like coming out of the dentist after three fillings.

It’s like the pain you get when your car has failed it’s MOT and needs £***** spent to get it through.

It’s like watching England.

Yes and this is a Romanian side who haven't even qualified for the Euro's and arguably they've edged that 1st 45, decent save by Johnstone right on HT, but that back line is giving me kittens I have to say.

Mings is a liability! He will cost us in the tournament if he has to play. How on earth is he there ahead of Tarkowski? I’d argue Tomori is also a better option.

Dyche’s England XI

Pope
Trippier
Keane
Tarkowski
Mee
Taylor
Brownhill
Cork
Westwood
McNeil
Ings

Because he wants 2nd in the group to avoid France or Germany so a slow start won’t be a disaster, the extended rest for CL finalists may benefit players later.

He’s given all City and Chelsea players a weeks rest and assume he doesn’t want Kane picking up a needless injury again.

Rashford shouldn’t start for me. I’d go with this -

Pickford

Walker Maguire Stones Shaw

Rice
Henderson Mount

Foden Kane Sterling


Providing Henderson is fit that is. If not then Ward-Prowse for me. Tough between Sterling and Grealish but I think we need that pace in behind. With Grealish there would be too many players coming for the ball to feet, where Sterling gives us the option in behind, especially given Harry Kane keeps dropping deeper these days. Which also needs to stop during this tournament , keep him central and in the box!

It looks like Southgate will go with 3 at the back at times though so expect Walker to centre back with James out at wing back, with one of Sterling or Foden to be dropped.
