[QUOTE="Bada-Bing!, post: 1113383, member: 70552"] Now Southgate has confirmed he’s staying, only 3 months to go to first Euros qualifier v Italy in Naples. A very tough game there. I suspect there will be very few changes from the team we saw v France. Maybe Phillips for Henderson. Going forward, I would like Gareth to aim for following starting team to play in Euros in 18 months time (assuming they qualify, which they should) but that means playing those players in between now and the Euros to give them experience: Pickford; James, Stones, Tomori, Shaw; Bellingham, Rice, Foden; Saka, Kane, Rashford. And also make use of subs at right times to keep or reverse momentum during matches as we saw Deschamps do in the final. More pace at centre back - Maguire should be fazed out as a starter. Foden to come back into a deeper role in midfield, with him and Bellingham trusted to run the game and dictate England’s game. Need more depth at Striker. Kane will likely still continue and will want to redeem himself and also break the scoring record. IMO needs to temper his dropping deep into the number 10 role and trust his young Foden and Bellingham to make the play. Stay as a main striker and spend more time in the penalty box. Otherwise of the alternatives Wilson did well at the WC and should be given more opportunities. WC reminded me that matches are about big moments and executing in those moments, whilst also managing those moments when under the cosh. Something England have failed to do in the past and need to quickly embrace if they are to end their tournament misery. [/QUOTE]
