Ooof I've missed out Rashford. Rashford ahead of Wilson if he still bums that giraffe Tammy. No Wilson and Maddy for maximum tears and lols.

I'd have Wilson bags packed waiting at Heathrow with a sick note for the weekend. Man scores goals.
If he takes Abraham then he just picks who he wants without watching. He was really good last year but he’s been beyond a joke so far this season. No point taking Wilson, he will just get injured.
Ben Doak in the Liverpool squad for tonight. First attacker in years to genuinely look like he could be world class. Noticed we have a few decent looking prospects in that Man City development squad too.
The future
Maddison at this one feels like Grealish at the last Euros. Fancy flair player in whom Southgate has no interest but is forced into using by weight of form / public pressure.
That said, I always feel like fans are bit naive when it comes to packing the team with exciting attackers, in the international game it's about being balanced, shutting up shop and nicking one via a set piece / penalty for which Kane has dived.
Maddison is just a more technically sound Mason Mount, though. Idk Southgate doesn’t like him, runs his bollocks off and speaks very well, something he usually loves.
It's because he's a twat IRL.Originally Posted by Waffdon

Southgate's probably going to shove Saka into left-back. He did that in Euro 2020, didn't he?
Unfortunately not starting! Calvin Ramsey is though, so I shall spend the whole game just watching him. I'm very pleased for Layton Stewart.Ben Doak in the Liverpool squad for tonight.

Arteta is going full Pep and playing the first team.
edit: I tell a lie it's loads of b-teamers.
Enciso, Sarmiento, Colwill and Gilmour for Brighton.
Gutted. Hopefully he comes on in the second half - that Scottish connection
It’s a shame about Brighton’s depth in midfield as Caicedo-Billy G gets me aroused. Ready for Colwill to pocket whoever he’s up against.Enciso, Sarmiento, Colwill and Gilmour for Brighton.
Mohammed Elneny going to boss him.
Bet the yanks are delighted about pooless sick starting this. The whole situation is just bizarre at the moment. Should probably just be playing on without World Cup players and to hell with fairness.
He's an especially a twat.
Wasn't he spotted in a casino until the early hours during his first England camp?
Lewis Hall arguably the best player on the pitch, unsurprisingly. Zakaria, rather funnily, also looks the closest to a defensive mid Chelsea have had all season in his two starts.
Did he mock up that graphic himself? Phenomenal work.
I'd like to see Southgate prowling the touchline in that clobber.
He would have been an amazing England manager. Like a better Graham Taylor. I'm still mourning Big Sam's loss.
That Chelsea wall
What is Koulibaly doing
How did Chelsea not score there?
Ortega and Ake were dying to put that in.
He came on for the last 15 or so mins. He looks technically very gifted and quick off the mark. I know it's only Derby but he looked above them, which at 16 is really promising.Ben Doak in the Liverpool squad for tonight. First attacker in years to genuinely look like he could be world class.

Ramsey also looked pretty good, but you can tell he doesn't quite have the legs under him yet.
Nunez's penalty.
I'm a twit
I was honestly surprised Ramsay got the move. He struggled at times last year but then maybe playing to the standard. He’ll do well to get ahead of Patterson/Hickey for Scotland.
Colwill was man of the match. Some plur.
Where’ve City found that Ortega and why isn’t he someone else’s first choice keeper?
I'm a twit
He was Bielefeld's first choice for years.
Sub keeper is the dream.
Third choice, like Lee Grant.
Or that period when Adam Bogdan was about fourth in line at Liverpool while still presumably being on fifteen grand a week or something
Wilson in. No other surprises.
If Maddison and Wilson both make the squad that's the biggest Cov contingent at a World Cup since Hadji and Chippo, kind of.
Conor Coady continually getting called up for good vibes is proper small time.
Maguire?
Gallagher is a shocking pick.
Who is he cover for, Bellingham? Feels like one of those proper spare wheel selections.
Looking forward to the following team when England play a decent side:
Pickford; Walker, Maguire, Stones; Trippier, Rice, Phillips, Gallacher, Shaw; Mount, Kane
Not defensive enough.
England squad is mega tbh.
I do like the plethora of forward options. Callum Wilson as the modern day Defoe. Bit of stardust and a lot of solidity. Just need to beat Iran and we should be away.
Glad to have you aboard the good ship Southgate.
I want him sacked even if we win gloriously (and Mourinho installed). Just bored.
Think Churchill getting the heave-ho in 1945 because the people (rightly) didn't back him for peacetime.
France in the Quarters, Belgium in the Semis? Not a chance. And coming second in the group is just going to land us in the same quarter as Argentina and Brazil, so it ain't coming home this time.
Coin flip against either of those. Belgium look absolutely rotten tbh and absolute prime for a TQ lay.
Have England ever won a 'coin flip' game against a decent nation? I guess the dreadful Germany side at the last Euros?
If Belgium look absolutely rotten then what the fuck have England looked like for the past 12 months or so?
Unlucky on the xG.
I would assign a generous 5% significance to a team's results in the year leading up to a tournament.
Being a coin flip shot against a decent nation is all you need.
If France didn't have two absolutely munting sides in their group I'd quite fancy them for a SHOCK exit.
