Pickford Walker-Dier-Mings Trippier--Henderson-Rice-Chilwell Mount-Kane-Grealish Mount's a good player - but there does seem to be a collective national shrug of the shoulders whenever he's selected (and with Southgate, that's all the time!) Penalty for Belgium👀

No idea why Trent A-A doesn't get picked.

Cheers. Still seems to be players above him in previous fixtures. Must be Englands strongest position tbf. He’s been unfit for a fair few. He’s definitely first choice.

It's being described as more of: ----------------Pickford ---------Walker-Dier-Mings--------- Trippier-Henderson-Rice-Chilwell ------------------Mount------------------- ------------------Grealish----------------- ---------------------Kane------------------- theathletic.co.uk/2196470/2020/11/14/england-score-belgium/Well that is a very interesting looking England line-up.
It seems like Southgate has stuck with the back three but in terms of players it's almost a 5-4-1 (or a 3-6-1).
Harry Kane leads the line but with Jack Grealish close to him and Mason Mount as well as a link between the engine room of the midfield (Rice and Henderson) and the front men.
We saw that Mount and Grealish can play together in different roles and this is further proof of that.

The team we started the other night looked way better on paper.

good to see Grealish starting. should be a good game Hopefully Grealish can prove he’s international class in this game. He’s too good a talent to waste He seems to be catching the eye of Southgate as I'm not sure Southgate has always been convinced by him. Hope Grealish does well, love watching him.

Does anyone honestly care I’ve no Idea what the competition rules are etc and for what and when Here’s an idea ....Stay off any thread you’ve no interest in and leave it to people who have an interest That’s not a dig at you personally but I can never fathom why somebody opens a thread they don’t care about let alone post on it Cmon England Some people have to work at being an asshole, for others it just comes naturally. Benji falls into the latter category.

Belgium XI: Courtois, Alderweireld, Denayer, Vertonghen, Meunier, Witsel, Tielemans, T. Hazard, Mertens, De Bruyne, Lukaku.
England XI: Pickford, Walker, Trippier, Dier, Mings, Chilwell, Rice, Mount, Henderson, Grealish, Kane.
Wow that Belgium squad looks very impressive on paper. Arguably only Kane would get in that squad out of our lot.
Hopefully plays out differently on the field.

Is Walker told to play where he wants? He ends up in the most random positions.
