EURO 2020

UEFA EURO 2020

4 Right backs I know they can all play but

Do we really need 4

Surely an extra forward would of been more sensible.

    In reply to Andy Catanach:

    Absolutely. Lingard has had a great season. Four right backs and an injured Maguire and Henderson ahead of him doesn't feel right. I know that we have a lot of attacking options but he tends to do it on the big occasions. My guess is that he either doesn't know his best formation or intends to different ways, 4 or 5 at the back depending on the opponents.

    This is what I think, Martin: I would have taken either Ward-Prowse or Lingard, five mf players may not be enough, plus WP takes a wicked set piece. 10 defenders looks like Southgate will play a back 3 with probably Walker/James as the third cb - only two in cmf is a risk for me, especially as Mount just wants to attack but there are loads of options up front. Watkins not done enough to be in. Looks to be a strong squad but question marks with the defence and cmf for me.

    Walker can play centre back so as Reece James. Trippier can actually play left back/left wing back he played there for England and also TAA can play wing back and midfield that’s probably why.

    I’m still not happy that Southgate didn’t included Fikayo Tomori to be honest. He’s better than Mings and Coady. And yes I already seen Tomori played while on loan at Derby. Class act.

    And Wan-Bissaka is probably better than all of them! I suspect James would have been cut but after his exceptional CL final Gareth felt he couldn't drop him.
    Walkers flexibility is probably what kept him in the 26 as well although he is a weak link in a back 3.

    In reply to Clarke Buckeridge:

    GS fully explained their flexibility so I'm a bit puzzled why some people are still puzzled.

    The biggest mistake is picking Rashford, who's mind is so far away from football at the moment, he might as well be on the moon. As his performance in the EL final showed.

    So, which player on the standby list gets in.

    Lingard has had a good season. But we already have attacking flair in Foden, Mount and Grealish.
    Ramsdale - obviously we don't need a 4th goalkeeper.
    Ward-Prowse is probably the best free kick taker around the opposition box. But would he be selected for any starting eleven given we have better all-round options.
    White is a central defender who can also play defensive midfield. Our main central defender, Maguire, is crocked and Jordan Henderson has fitness concerns.
    Godfrey is also a defender who could be cover for Maguire.
    Watkins is useful but would be third choice striker behind Kane and Calvert-Lewin.

    My vote goes to Ben White.
