Hmm are you being serious? so good Barcelona wouldn't even play him as a striker? Wasn’t that just down to shit management? In any case he's a second striker, he doesn't lead the line by himself like the other 2 so it's a mute point.

That's beginning to look like Gareth's first choice eleven. Still 15 months 'til Qatar, though, of course, plenty of time for Bellingham to come through and for the full back positions to be resolved.

This isn't Sunday League football - you don't pick a formation to suit a certain player. You assess the players available, choose a formation that suits them best (or will work best against the opposition) and then pick the best players for that formation - even if that means your best/favourite player misses out. England's best formation in the Euros was 433 with 2 deep lying midfielders (Rice and Philips). I think the best options for the more attacking midfield position are Mount, Foden, Bellingham and Grealish. We are lucky to have so many decent options and don't have to rely on any particular star player. Sure. But l think you may be confusing the MB with a professional selection committee meeting, when in fact it's just three blokes in a pub passing an enjoyable half hour ![/b] So. these 3 blokes, Gareth Southgate, obviously, but who are the 2 others? And which pub do they use?

Lewandowski v Kane will be fascinating. Who is the best number 9 in the world? Haaland Haaland reminds me of when Jonah Lomu first burst onto the rugby scene. He's physically in a class of his own.

I like Linetty. Decent enough player. Was at Sampdoria for a good while.

That was obviously a corner, why don't they use VAR on calls like that? Or is it only there to ruin games?

Griezmann has took over from Lewandowski. Despite Griezann having a patchy season last year. Hmm are you being serious? so good Barcelona wouldn't even play him as a striker? On form I reckon he's the bestest. Soon to be usurped by Haaland.
