I wouldn't mind Trent playing alongside Rice with his passing ability as long as we intend to play the ball forward. Trent in some ways is very similar to Debruyne and he should be able to adapt to playing in midfield. I hope we play a more attacking game, Rice has had to play the ball forward more at Arsenal too so hopefully we stop all the sideways and backwards crap we seem to get a lot with Southgate teams I think it’s madness to play TAA as in my view he’s a right back/ wing back. I’d play Wharton as left footed to give balance. If he’s good enough he’s old enough! I think Trent will be fine in there against the lesser teams but against the better sides if we progress I'd play a natural centre mid.

Mainoo, Gallagher or moving Bellingham back are the other options All good options to have mate and all different types of midfielders. All the 'bigger' nations have started off well so far so it would be great to make a big statement tonight.

I don't follow international football. Are Serbia any good? Good question. Just consulted Google . They are ranked 33 in the world. Doesn't really mean much. Like Stoke with England you just have to hope . Squeaky bum time. Hopefully we can relax and enjoy the second half. 😗🏆

If those are any benchmarks to go by then we'll piss it!😀

Every generation of England players has the richly talented one who's England contribution is questioned. Phil is the latest. Foden is excellent at club level. He hasn’t done anything yet for England. Hopefully, this is his tournament to change that.

TAA is a very good player, I think he is underestimated he has so many qualities which would make him a very good midfielder plus he is good at free kicks. He's quite good at everything, he even has an eye for goal

I've always thought TAA was a midfielder it should be an easy transition for him

Anyone else feeling nervy?
Memories of grinding morosely through groups, Beckham's red card, Seaman flapping at a Ronaldinho lob, Green squeezing the ball through his own legs, the whole team bumbling around against Iceland...

Pickford Walker Stones Guehi Trippier Rice TAA Bellingham Foden Kane Saka Yes that will be it. Personally, I'd have had Bellingham in for Trent and Eze (who works like a Trojan without the ball) on the left and Foden as the 10. But I appreciate it would be a very tough for Southgate if he didn't play Bellingham as the 10 and it went wrong.

Well IAM NERVOUS. Been looking forward to this since the end of our season.
A mate of mine who is quite knowledgeable says we will never win anything whilst Southgate is in charge.
I HOPE HE IS TALKING RUBBISH.

I HOPE HE IS TALKING RUBBISH. Sadly I fear your mate is correct and I & many others share his pessimism. A more adventurous & progressive manager will have already won us silverware, particularly the last Euro's, that Final was ours to lose & Safegate truely delivered us that by throwing it away by trying to play it safe when the ageing Italians were tiring & most definitely there for the taking! I'm more than happy for him to prove me & many more wrong but just can't see it happening. Squad definitely good enough, he's just got to manage without fear and we may stand a chance. Otherwise it's just rinse and repeat, build our hopes up again & get us close, just be let down again when it matters!
