Southgate Thought Process

throw Warton or Mainoo alongside Rice and play Gordon LW or just drop Bellingham back next to Rice

but yes he will just replace TAA with Gallagher probs

It’s not a bad choice, what it will do is mean we cut out the Hollywood balls Trent plays and instead play quicker, shorter sharper passes.

Additionally, Gallagher offers more defensively than Trent, letting Rice push further up.

The key change will be getting Shaw back, he is the key to our attack as he will bomb past Foden and give us greater balance

No Harry Kane tomorrow.

Defensive....yeah, that's what we need more of. More defence please Gareth.

About as much emotional engagement as an inflatable stag night accoutrement.

SO in those games where we lost control and started getting bossed by Serbia and Denmark, we brought on Gallagher to regain control....how did that work out

Put Bellingham where he should be, midfield, he has always been a midfielder. Him next to Rice and Foden at 10.

Well apparently we need more control - so Johnny Hollywood pass is not the way forwards.

I’m seeing some plums advocating resting players tomorrow - how about No!! We need to win the group if we want the preferential route

Trent wingback instead of trippier, Bellingham drops back and Foden at 10
