Just a thread for those who are going to watch the game, and for those who won't be watching but would be interested in letting the rest of us know that you won't be tuning in as they no longer follow England

Looks like it'll be 3 at the back with 2 holding midfielders.

Will all depend on how the cricket is going for me to be honest. Last Saturday I wish I'd done some painting, I could then have watched it dry rather than taking in the game in Iceland.

Didn't see Saturdays game luckily and tonights depends on the 20/20

It's either the England game or clawing my eyes out with a toothpick for me tonight.

Toothpicks at the ready.

If Pope isn't playing, I won't bother.

All sources I've seen so far predicts Pickford will keep his place, but differing predictions on formations. 3 at the back in a 3-4-3 or 4-3-3.

No rice in the kitchen, to count if needs be?

After watching the first half versus Iceland. I'm glad I'm working later...

You lucky man!!!!!

A sad state of affairs really, England were abysmal v Iceland and the antics of Walker, Foden and Greenwood don’t endear. Southgate should have come down on ‘em like a ton of bricks but is too soft. Cricket watching a better bet.

I'd rather do Tony's painting.

I won't be watching the footy or the cricket, but that's only because I don't have Sky, predictions 1-1 in Denmark, England win at Southampton.

What are the midfielders holding Frank... Danish pastries (aka Tarts ala Mason Greenwod and Phil Foden in Iceland)

I hope your not talking in the same context as an art student doing a model's painting.

the game I meant, tempting as it is to watch FF draw/paint CT naked, the game just wins out, lol

Is Michael Keane fit?
I’ve seen a press line-up for 3 at the back with T A-A, Coady & Tripps.
Are Denmark seriously crap?

Lineup appears to be:

Pickford
TAA Coady Gomez Trippier
Dier Phillips
Rice
Sancho Kane Sterling

Pickfords starting so I'm out.

Jesus! That's a worse line up than Saturday.

Yeah I think that midfield could struggle without the front 3 dropping back.

That’s a very negative line up

I’m not tempted

Anybody else not really seeing it, in Dier and Rice?

Not seen enough of Coady to comment.

Extra protection needed for the CB and GK against this world class opposition

Bore fest take 2

Watching the Cricket but that has a downside with Pieterson on commentary

Dier and Rice should never be in the same side. Ever.

Pickford in goal again, so it's the cricket for me.

Let’s ignore the 3 players with the most assists over the last year and play Philips

This is just blatant stupidity

Southgate out

Three defensive midfielders? Not sure if I've ever seen that before.

Can't watch and won't watch

Who wants to watch Frank painting naked or otherwise

But hey ho what ever floats your rubber duck

I wonder whether Southgate has had a word with Sean.

Gareth: 'Sean, who would you play in a meaningless cup competition?'

Sean: 'Well what I do in the League Cup is play a sprinkling of first teamers and then we stick a pin in the squad list and tell 'em right lads you're playing'...'it doesn't matter what position they play. It's never failed us so far'

Gareth: 'Great! I'll put Pickford in goal, Trippier at left back and Rice in midfield with Dier'

Sean: 'That'll do it. Sticking the pins in from the start!'

If we keep it tight, we might nick it

If Kane is as poor as Saturday I can’t see that team scoring.

Ok say it's actually 3-4-3.

Pickford
Coady Gomez Dier
TAA Rice Phillips Trippier
Sancho Kane Sterling

Looks a bit more attacking with TAA and Trippier whipping balls in.

Looking forward to Tripps 'whipping balls in' with his left foot.

The England squad announcement largely passed me by. Who were the left backs chosen?

Is there an injury crisis? Surely Trippier can't be the best option in that position!

Out of his depth.

Will keep the cricket on better entertainment

I'm also watching the cricket, no doubt will do a bit of channel hopping.

Thought he might have learned to just 'shut up' more often but he likes himself far too much for that.

To be fair, he wouldn’t really get very far as a commentator if he just shut up

That team selection totally beggars belief. There is no logic to it whatsoever. It is almost as if he is deliberately trying to get sacked.

Decided to watch the cricket and the footy, so I'm sat in front of my PC with Hesgoal showing both games.

Struggling in the cricket. Pretty low score.

C'mon Denmark, put Pickford under pressure.
