Mainoo was excellent and is excellent but cmon let’s back up a bit as it’s only one game First choice starter?…..I’ll reserve judgement Yeah it's a risk but I think it's one worth taking. Gallagher for me isn't good enough, Phillips is unfit and not playing well enough and Henderson isn't the player he was. Unless you drop Bellingham back in or push Stones forward I think we're really struggling there.

Palmer needs to be in the starting eleven. Even at the expense of Foden.
The more I see of the guy the more I think he's going to outshine them all.

Palmer is very good but there’s no way he should be ahead of Foden. Bellingham on current form is about the best player in world football. Foden isn’t far behind. Palmer is excellent though and Guardiola is fucking insane for letting him go.

Foden "world class" ?? He's good, but not that good. Just think Palmer is one of those players that will shine on the Euro/World stage. His passing and vision are sublime.

Considering he couldn’t get a game ahead of Anthony Gordon I think you’re way off. And I didn’t agree with that, Palmer is so much better than Gordon but the manager clearly fancied him over Palmer. Foden is one of the best players in world football at moment. Foden has shined at the world/euro level. 🤣

Has Foden shined for England at Euros or World Cup? Not being funny honestly .. just can't remember haha. What I do THINK is that Palmer at some stage in his career will. Maybe this summer will be Fodens platform. Let's hope so eh. Probably the best chance this current crop of players will ever have.

Foden has been imperious tonight! 👏👏 Another option is to go xmas tree, dispense with a wide player and play them both as inside right or inside left in and around Kane They already do this to a degree One key difference between them is Bellingham will get deep into the box and score goals more Kane dropping in really helps with this as defenders don't know whether to follow him, leaving space in behind for Bellingham, or to hold their line meaning we will have lots of the ball just in front Mainoo, if he plays or TAA getting it forward quickly unleashes Bellingham Wheras if Gallagher plays that doesn't happen

Saka at the top. Also I have to concede we need two holding midfielders to protect our untrustworthy defence.

Wether Southgate can do it is a different matter but him and Foden should both interchange across the front. With Kane dropping in as well creating further space behind this is literally a once in a life time team.

You don't like footballers with brains do you Bayern. Go watch the first goal against Italy in the final. Or one of about 80 of Sons goals for Tottenham. Kane is one of the best strikers in the world. If you move and pull defenders making it hard to follow and mark you create space for your other inside forwards and runners. England don't need a striker playing in behind (Watkins). Kane especially and to a lesser extent Toney will hold the ball up and get all our attacking players up the pitch and involved. I know you don't like Kane which is why I take everything you say with a big pinch of salt really mate.

It's a problem that's going to bamboozle Gaz unfortunately, I'm assuming if Kane is fit then we'll start with him. Where he fits Foden and Jude in is anyone's guess, but I hope it's not on the wing for Foden. It's not his best position.

After watching the Brazil game, I too, have to concede that we're going to need a man in with Rice, when I was previously hoping we could get away with Rice on his tod, allowing both Bellingham and Foden to play centrally but I'm coming round to the idea, that that might indeed be wishful and nieve thinking, especially against the better sides.

With Kane dropping in as well creating further space behind this is literally a once in a life time team. I didn't realise but you are absolutely correct. I've just been looking at some of his heat maps and he does indeed spend a lot of the time on the left and actually scores more goals from the left hand side of the box. If Southgate can make it work, then your idea definitely seems like a potential goer. Could you imagine being a centre back and not knowing from one minute to the next who you are supposed to be marking because Foden and Bellingham are continually interchanging!

And combine that with Saka playing across the width of the front line we can torment the toenails off opposition defences.

He's close now and the only thing stopping him is that Southgate will stick with the tried and trusted. If he doesn't go to the Euros, Gareth really will need shooting.
