Group B: England, Iran, USA, Wales

[Billy Dean]

Ben White at left back? Gallagher on the left wing? It would 1000% struggle to get a result.

Teams with 2 players out of position can also win matches sometimes. It's a good enough XI to beat Wales

That’s fine, I don’t think it is.

 

[Billy Dean]

would be a sensible line up if true

 

[MikeH72]

No doubt in my mind he’ll play Foden in some rogue position like right wing with no one linking up or overlapping him, set him up to have a poor game and then make a massive stink about dragging him off in the 55th minute. Horrible vindictive man he is.

? ???????

 

[Pootsy]

That team could genuinely lose 4-0.

Shouldn't against Wales realistically. But if so does that demonstrate a weakness in the depth of quality?

Gallagher wouldn't be left wing, more of an inside left forward with the Full back overlapping. Foden could rotate the role

I reckon Southgate will go regardless of what happens in this tournament, but who would you prefer instead/replacement mate? There were some stories a few weeks back that Tuchel fancied the job.

I would hold out til Potter gets sacked by Chelsea and go for him. A proper modern attacking manager, also young and English. Tuchel would not be the right fit, in fact I think a foreign coach would be a disaster.

I like Potter but he'll keep it tight too

Not on the same scale as Southgate, he at least has a modicum of ambition and doesn’t fear anyone and everyone. His Brighton teams always went away to better sides and played football.

They did, it wasn't always gung ho stuff though. They use possession as defense sometimes.

 

[deipnosophist]

Just to be clear I think Martinez is a monumental fraud too. But Southgate is rock bottom of the very long list.

...would not a rock bottom position, on a very long list of frauds, be a not bad thing?

 

[Stevie Nicks Bootleg]

Even if they bottle it and play for the draw...and fail...I don't see Wales putting 4 on them

I can't see Wales even going for a 4-0 win and leaving themselves open. I think they'll try and sneak a win and hope the other game ends a draw. I doubt they could even score 4 against the Everton team that lost to Bournemouth in the cup.

Southgate
