Cole palmer, toney and Watkins, Mainoo, for Kane, foden, Arnold, saka.
Imagine the tune someone like Pep could get out of out attacking players
We have to play Gordon imo because he is the only one who gives us left side balance. Could put Saka on the left of course he is actually left footed would you believe. Southgate really has to get a grip on this before we implode. It’s not rocket science. There are about 15 million Football fans in England that can see what our Manager apparently can’t see. Oh and tens of millions of others all over Europe who can see it also. 1) Square pegs in square holes or round ones in round holes.2) Work rate needs to increased. Press the opposition high up the pitch.3) Attack with pace and numbers. Get players into the box not 1 but 3 France do it, Germany do it Spain do it, etc etc.Not difficult that is it. Football is very simple really. We have some serious attacking quality in this squad. If we can’t get them performing there has to be something very wrong with the Manager / coaching / tactics.Why are we not doing it?
Think Gallagher will start ahead of Trent. Rest the same and we will win 3-0.

Hopefully were fired up and take the big lesson to keep pushing and not try to play as a containing team. I’d play the following but think as Gaz says likely only Gallagher to play ahead of Trent. Pickford Walker Stones Guehi Trippier Bellingham Rice Foden Saka Kane Gordon/Watkins We should trust Foden and Bellingham to play as 8s and get the ball on the half turn. Then it’s about Saka and maybe Watkins from the left staying high and making the runs behind. Let Kane drop in as it’s what he does well.Watkins should try to emulate the Son role at Tottenham as starting wide left but getting in goal scoring positions. I think it would suit him. For defence we just need to be higher up the pitch. Dropping so deep make it impossible to press and Kane isn’t the quickest so the pitch needs to be smaller. We’re fast at the back so agin it’s just been brave. At their clubs they’d all happily play much higher up the pitch against better teams than we play here.

For me Gordon is the best option.I'm preparing myself for another Iceland type exit from the Euro's Campsall .One of the less fancied teams on a free hit and nothing to lose mindset in the next stage is very much in play .The players look bemused , confused with the confidence shot to shyte .The more that emerges from the England camp since we arrived in Germany the more I believe another catastrophic tournament exit is likely .The squad looks woefully unprepared , unbalanced and unorganised .What ever you could point at Southgate with regard to tactical acumen or a timid mindset he's always been on top of the basics and created a superb culture .I'll have no problem eating my words , I really hope I have to but I'm fearing the worst .One of if not the worst side I've seen so far in this tournament is England .We are stinking the place out .
If you’re choosing the next manager a call has to be made to Klopp. He wants to play attacking football is loved by the players and the fans which will mean him not been English won’t bother anyone as much. International management might suit his work life balance after Liverpool too. Just seems a perfect fit
My pick would be John Coleman the ex Accrington manager, he worked miracles with not a lot for years
If you think Kane should be dropped you don’t know much about football
