Sterling is playing shite so perhaps we will get him as part of the kane deal...Spursey and I for the love of me cannot see what is so special about Sancho ....our midfield is young upcoming and strong.
So what is Englands best formation and team?
I can't stand playing with 3 CBS.
GK Henderson
RB Walker
RCB Maguire
LCB Stones
LB Chilwell
DM Rice
CM Mount
AM Foden
RF Sterling
ST Kane
LF Sancho
Just for all ya's info, Mount is a boy from round this way, he went to Purbrook Park School, which is about 2 miles from my gaff!
Shame he is a "Chav" lol!
I completely agree regarding 3 CBs. What makes it even stranger is one of England's most impressive areas of quality is in the attacking midfield/forward area. I would be setting the team up to get as many of them on the pitch at once. Having that extra CB takes so much away from what should be good about the current England team. If Southgate wanted to be defensive with a back 4 he could always play a more defensive RB and then a more solid CM such as Henderson to sit beside Rice.So what is Englands best formation and team?

I'm one different
Hendo
Walker, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell
Rice, Mount
Sancho, Foden, Grealish
Kane
From what I've seen live, Sancho isn't the most natural protector of his full-back so playing ahead of Walker in his City role makes sense. Then it really is up to Mount, Grealish and Foden to interchange and have some fun with Chilwell on the overlap.
As for Kane, he either gets out of 3rd gear for the first time in 2021, or his tournament will be a lot different than people think.

He sets up in a way that you can only select 2 of Rashford, Sancho, Sterling, Mount, Grealish, Foden, Greenwood, Madison etc. It just seems silly to me.
Yeah I nearly went with Grealish. Can't disagree with your team.
Did anyone get a 'Spurs' feeling about the game last night?
This was a team of players, fighting for their opportunity to be included in the tournament team. They should have looked mobile, hungry and happy to be there.
Instead they looked labored, disinterested, lacking movement and confidence to try anything interesting.
There is one common denominator for the two teams and he is showing why he can score as many goals as he likes, he effects everyone else on the pitch by not playing as a CF.
I'm more worried that Pep and others are looking at Kane and having second thoughts. I'd much rather we cash in now while we can and reinvest/rebuild.?? Southgate isnt Spurs manager :-)
You hit the nail on the head above regarding the runs he doesnt make. Even my Liverpool mad son who tells me to stop being so negative has started to see it. He couldnt believe that with Trent (Best crosser in the world in his eyes) getting into space and crossing opportunities so easily to begin with, Kane would pull back and loiter on the edge of the box rather than aim for space in the box.
If i was Pep, OGS or Tuchel i would be worried because that england team should have an essence of City/Utd/Chelski with all the youngsters who are heavily involved in their teams. This is what Kane is doing to Son, ND, Dele, Lamela etc.
