You didn’t even need to ditch 442. It just needed someone with balls. Seaman Neville Ferdinand Terry Cole Beckham Scholes Hargreaves J.Cole Rooney Owen I mean it’s class. You'd have ditched both Lampard AND Gerrard, then? For a 442 yeah. You could have had Gerrard in there for Hargreaves and it probably work. Because even a 3 of them 3 isn’t that balanced is it? All want to attack more than they want to defend.

The greatest England squad? Have you ever heard of the golden generation? 1970 squad was probably the best Quite possibly. I think I’m just bemused by the original statement because of how recent the golden generation was.

All want to attack more than they want to defend. Hargreaves was a decent box to box central midfielder. But, if you remember, was about as loved in an England shirt as Henderson is today.

He was until the 2006 World Cup then I think most people opened up to him? I was gonna put Butt in there but for similar reasons but for 2002.

The fans warmed to Hargreaves after his display against Portugal when Rooney got sent off. Think it was the same game anyway, he was absolutely everywhere

Yeah, l remember that performance. He was playing like three men ! Roy of the Rovers stuff.
The kind of football we love to watch (as fans) but somehow doesn't win you things. Southgate is trying to put together a side and a way of playing that just might. Squeezing, clever angles of running, quick passing.

No. He’s a bottler that’s what he is. He had the greatest squad England has ever had and yet he managed to bottle it. Tried to win the race by driving a super car with the handbrakes on The greatest England squad? Have you ever heard of the golden generation? Oh, you mean the one I grew up with, from 1945-1949
