England - Hungary
Hoping Foden gets another chance against stronger opposition, but looking like he's going to miss out.
It's Hungary, not France, so I don't think we need both Henderson and Rice. I'd go with a midfield-attack of:
Henderson
Foden Mount
Sterling Kane Grealish

Gutted if Foden doesn’t make it. He is truly a top top player
Re: England - Hungary
I didn't realise that Kane is 1 goal away from Rooney's record in competitive England games - and also 1 goal away from Rooney's World Cup scoring record (according to a post on social media anyway)
Competitive Games (games played/scored)
Rooney 74 - 37
Kane 53 - 36
World Cup Games
Rooney 17 - 17
Kane 16 - 16

Pickford in goal.
Kane up front
The rest is fill in the blanks.

Re: England - Hungary
Given Southgate's tendency to play 2 holding midfielders against anyone stronger than the Morris Dancers 2nd 11, I think there's every chance that we'll see Henderson and Rice in front of a back four. The only question is how many right backs he'll manage to squeeze into the team.

Re: England - Hungary
Like that team! Looking forward to watching Foden again. Just an Alexander Arnold & Maguire off a very strong side there.

Luke Shaw has only himself to blame for having his foot so high, especially in the box.

Not too long ago that isn't even a foul.
Also, how long has 'fouls suffered' been a caption? I've never noticed that one before.

In today’s rules (which I really don’t agree with, by the way) that is a penalty.

Grealish is playing really well, fantastic ball control.
Re: England - Hungary
The mistake Shaw made was not being the goalkeeper. Apparently they can virtually take a player’s head off without it being a penalty.

Re: England - Hungary
I’d take Kane off and play somebody up front that wants to play up front
The lack of the out ball is allowing them to hold their shape man for man
Possibly Sterling central play a few balls over the top and gaps will appear between their lines
Cue a Harry Kane Hat trick

unlike our lot to wade in with batons at, what seemed to be, the first sign of unrest.

Re: England - Hungary
Sterling was totally ineffective in the first half hour, but that was obvious after 10minutes, if we’d put him central to make runs over the top Kane may have got space in behind his runs and if their defence started dropping deep our midfield may have got men over and space.

Re: England - Hungary
Foden the one person with any creativity. About a dozen dangerous balls in, rest of team less than half a dozen between them.
Rice = backwards (at least Henderson goes forward)
Mount + what does he do?

Re: England - Hungary
Fair play to Southgate for experimenting but for those who usually moan about him picking a too defensive line up this shows that simply throwing on all your attacking players doesnt always lead to playing more attacking football.
Getting control of the midfield gives you control of the game and then push your full backs up and get your four attacking players in the game and you dominate and win games
