Euro’s 20:34 - Apr 8 with 2844 views | Shun | If all players were fit what would your preferred XI be for the upcoming tournament? I’d go with something like: ________________Pope________________ _TAA____Stones________Maguire___Shaw_ _______________Rice________________ ______Foden___________Mount________ __Rashford______Kane_______Grealish___ I’d consider swapping Alexander-Arnold for someone more defensively sound against the more offensive teams. And I’d alternate Rashford and Sterling based on form, although the former edges it at present. |  | | |  |
Euro’s on 20:52 - Apr 8 with 2806 views | boromat | ------------------Pope Trippier Stones Maguire Shaw --------------Rice Phillips -----Mount Grealish Foden ----------------Kane -------------------Pope TAA Walker Stones Maguire Shaw -------Henderson Philips Rice -------------Kane Sterling Depends who we're playing and which formation but I like these two line ups one more offensive the other when we need to keep it tight. Maybe Rashford instead of Sterling in the second one close call. |  |

I know we inexplicably extend contracts when we are dead and buried, but come on... |  |

Euro’s on 10:04 - Apr 9 with 2482 views | AtThePeake | Like your team there Shun. Personally I'd go with Walker over Trent for the experience and the more defensive mindset, although it says a lot about how the game has changed in the last 5 or 6 years that I consider Walker a more defensive full-back than anyone really. I'd also probably just edge Sterling in over Rashford. Partly because I think he's more suited to playing on the right than Rashford and partly because I'd fancy Rashford to make more of an impact from the bench whereas that's not really a role that Sterling is used to. |  |

Euro’s on 11:02 - Apr 9 with 2432 views | funkkk | Stones, Maguire, Foden, Mount, Grealish and Kane would form the basis of my selection. I think the other players can change depending on opposition. Sadly I don’t think Grealish will start any game of importance. What I don’t want to see is two holding midfielders regardless of the opposition. |  | |  |

Spot on re Sterling over Rashford. Think he's got a good understanding with Kane as well. Number 10s, right and left forwards England are inundated with - it's central midfield towards the centre backs I see a problem with. Rice is great, but he's going to have a lot of work on if we play all those forwards. |  | |  |
Euro’s on 12:56 - Apr 9 with 2373 views | D_Alien | Not convinced by Pope. He lacks international experience at club level but that wouldn't be so much of a hindrance except he doesn't seem to dominate his area either. Trouble is, we're struggling for alternatives too. It's a shame Fraser Forster didn't make more of his career although seems to be back in good form for Saints. Think there's room for someone else to grab their chance between the sticks Stones remains a liability which, at the very highest level, you simply shouldn't be having to think about. Thought Mings might step up but he's started making errors too; again, need someone else to step up Agree with funkk about the direness of playing two holding midfielders. If we had two great players then fair enough, but as things stand ours are bang average at international level. Would prefer Henderson to Rice, when fit Rashford showed last night why he's got an edge on Sterling but also seems more injury-prone, so inclined to agree with ATP about his best option being as impact sub Finally, Reece James at RB |  |
