Should be a midfield 3 of Rice, Bellingham and Foden Drop Kane, start Watkins Move TAA to RB and have either Walker or Gomez LB if Shaw isn't fit enough
Drop Kane! 64 England Goals…36 goals last season a career average of better than 1 in 2 and we should drop him. Brilliant
Early own goal, naby care playoff style, puts England in lead on 5 mins. Nervy backs to the wall for 85 mins before Slovenia equalise in added time. Bellingham stretchered off on the hour and replaced with Carlton Palmer
Its not like Gallagher hasnt been one of the best players for Chelsea this season though, regardless of how poor they've been... He's not there based off his Palace or West Brom days.
Not sure it is the change that is needed (or certainly not the only one) to improve England's Euro performance, but I will always have a huge soft spot for Connor Gallagher after that wonderful half season with us, even forgiving that he later player for "that lot". I'm very pleased to see him starting for England at a major tournament. Hopefully we get to see Joe and/or Ezri at somepoint too.
Personally I just don't think Gallagher is good enough for International football. But if we don't have anyone else then I guess we're stuck.
Mainroo, Eze, Palmer, Gordon, Walton are just some of the squad who could come into the midfield. Plus Shaw is by far our best attacking Left back but still not considered fit to start.
Don't understand your point unless you are being ironic ?
Well, we’ve already seen one defensively minded British manager rigidly sticking to his guns this past few days. Looks like Gareth is following suit. He’s got a helluva better deck of cards than Clarke had though so the failure will be been worse in my book if it happens. It probably won’t.

Mainoo and Wharton are the only ones that can play in Gallagher's position.
I was speaking purely on the CM role alongside Rice and we have 3 poor options. Mainoo was first choice and played poorly in the friendly. Gallagher is next up after playing a RB there so that tells you how much Gareth rates Gallagher and Wharton.
It'll either click and we will get a comfortable win and the narrative will change. Or it'll be nervy and we will scrape a draw and the fans will turn toxic

Outside of the opening 40 minutes of the first game we've looked awful.
And the odd team with a small population and erupting Volcanos
We'll see how it goes.
Have to admit that the likes of Declan Rice sound fed up, with hearing the rubbish from pundits, hope they use that as fuel now
1. Move Bellingham back, Foden inside, Gordon on the left.
2. Play Mainoo there
3. Play Wharton there.

Don't need a microphone does she?
