Is smash windows a euphemism?I wish I got an education stuff like this is interesting. Was too busy trying to finger birds and smash windows.
Sounds like a terrible pseudonym for a local, wannabe, breakfast show presenter.Is smash windows a euphemism?
Behind Kane, he’s an our best player and I’m not sure why people would want him playing as an ‘8’ with more defensive capabilities. He’s better than Madison, Foden, Palmer and anyone else who’d play AM for England.
Our defence is a weak point so as much criticism as Southgate gets for his insistence on playing the double pivot, it’s the right choice for this team.
Foden is exceptional for Man City but calls for him to play centrally are wrong. He’s not impressed there for England yet. If Rashford finds good form at Man U, he gets the LW berth ahead of Foden. Despite this, I do think Foden is a better player than Rashford overall - we need more goals in our team outside Kane, Bellingham and Saka.
I would definitely choose Foden over Rashford.Foden has scored 21 goals at city this season and looks unreal in the 10 role , yea bellingham has 20 at Madrid but they aren't as good as city are they ?
Better to fit them both in and if that means playing jude as an 8 next to rice then so be it
It’s an interesting shout but generally speaking you try not to play your best players out of their best positions just to accommodate inferior ones. Yes, Bellingham can do a job anywhere in the midfield, he’s that talented. In his best role (at 10) he can be a match-winner against any opposition. Can we say the same about Foden yet?Foden has scored 21 goals at city this season and looks unreal in the 10 role , yea bellingham has 20 at Madrid but they aren't as good as city are they ?

I think foden had accomplished far more than jude by 20 years of age , premier league winner twice , champions league runner up , fa cup etcIt’s an interesting shout but generally speaking you try not to play your best players out of their best positions just to accommodate inferior ones.

He’s a wonderful player playing for a dominant team, no doubt. But you’re answering a different question to the one I asked.I think foden had accomplished far more than jude by 20 years of age , premier league winner twice , champions league runner up , fa cup etc
Foden is clearly a match winnerHe’s a wonderful player playing for a dominant team, no doubt. But you’re answering a different question to the one I asked.

The issue you could have with Bellingham, Foden and Kane playing centrally is that they all like to occupy the space a number 10 likes to operate. One of those players performances will likely suffer. With a weak defence, giving Foden and Bellingham more defensive responsibility, to me, isn’t a sensible idea.
Personally, playing Foden on the left makes the most sense because Bellingham and Kane are already top performers in their roles for England. Despite Foden’s Man City form, that hasn’t transferred over to the England setup yet.
On the flip side, it would be nice if we could emulate France’s 2018 setup - Bellingham and Rice being our answer to prime Pogba and Kante. Although Matuidi (a left footed DM) played LM to accommodate that despite France’s embarrassment of talent on the wings.
Kasey palmer looking good for a squad placeRice is one of the first names on the team sheet these days isn't. Been so impressed with him for England.
It has to be Bellingham and Rice, whatever. Others to fit in around those two

I raised the issue before hence why were having the chat , Bellingham as an 8 that gets forward whilst having foden centrally seems like the best outcome for me .
It’s a weapons-grade hot take, and obviously there’s no way you’re dropping him even if it’s right, but I have sometimes wondered if Kane is one of the problems stopping England from being the free-flowing dominant side we think they should be. Scores boatloads of goals for England, Spurs and now Bayern, but none of those teams ever win anything….The issue you could have with Bellingham, Foden and Kane playing centrally is that they all like to occupy the space a number 10 likes to operate.

Well Stan collymore said similar this morning too tbh , he's not a fan after 3 pintsEvery England fan knows how to win a World Cup after 3 pints, the old saying goes.
Who’s playing out on the left?
Would Rice get isolated on his own in midfield?
Does the defence have sufficient cover?
If Bellingham plays as an 8, we’re probably going to play 3-4-3, which may have the benefit of fitting in TAA. Either way, Foden gets shifted out to the left.
International football is slower, a more tactical and defensive in its nature and a lot of England fans seem to think we can play 5 attacking players without compromising
Jamaican Peter?He's Jamaican peter
Well, given our performances without Kane in the latest friendlies and North Macedonia… I’d say that’s wrong.It’s a weapons-grade hot take, and obviously there’s no way you’re dropping him even if it’s right, but I have sometimes wondered if Kane is one of the problems stopping England from being the free-flowing dominant side we think they should be.

Jamaican Peter?
I'm confused. I thought his name was Casey.

He'd played less games domestically and internationallyI think foden had accomplished far more than jude by 20 years of age , premier league winner twice , champions league runner up , fa cup etc
Watching Man U v Chelsea and thinking it's difficult to argue that Palmer shouldn't be in. He's not far behind Foden. Rushford has been poor this season and doesn't deserve a place.I'd play Bellingham as an 8. I think he can do the lot.
Rice - Bellingham
Saka - Foden - Rashford
Kane
Alternative for me is to put TAA in the middle then shift Foden out wide and play Bellingham in the 10. Then you have two players not in their best positions instead of 1 and your options to change things in the two are no hopers like Gallagher.
Damn auticorruct. GrrrrI t
I thought it was Kasey
