Not really. Why would I?
It's the same back 4 we utilised for years. It's more than good enough for international football against most teams. It may fall short against an elite side but Stones-Walker are top class defenders, if Shaw is fit he's a good left back. Maguire is terrible (we should pick Tomori) but he sort of meanders along fine in internationals.
I think our front 3 will be Gordon-Kane-Saka or Grealish-Kane-Saka. Which is a very, very good front 3. If any of them are struggling for form, we have shit loads of options to switch them out for.
We'll be fine. Once you meet a France or Germany then loads of factors come in to play and 100% we could go out but the team is very good and could win it depending on the luck of a tournament.
Man said Grealish LOL
Southgate didn't start him when he's on form...
Look ultimately, we have some very very good players that at the top end are pretty close to France but that's been true of England squads that have gone out in shambles before.
We should get to QFs with what we have but there is every chance this manager and the way he picks the team could go wrong.
Because he had a trusted player in Sterling who he didn’t want to drop. I don’t think he fully trusts anyone who plays LW at the moment. Definitely not Rashford.
Nah.. Thats not what you did. You said if we were top Billy would think prime Barcelona had nothing on us . That's what I contended with your post. Its exactly how he is supposed to feel. That was my only point. The broader point discussion about not being actually good wasn't in the post I questioned. Or saw in any earlier exchange you had by the way.
As for my lack of faith in the current England team it's a very poor fit and not at all analogous. I don't have an emotional relationship with the England team, I want them to win and I'm pleased when they do but its like the pleasure I experience when I get served a really good glass of wine or coffee. Its not deep abiding or emotional. I'm not going to in any way pretend I walk around for days irrationally happy like when Spurs win. That's why I can be clear headed about the teams shortcomings . Unless you're telling you actually feel that way about Spurs? No judgement.

Staying unbeaten isn’t important. It’s winning . Better to win & lose than draw 2.
As a gesture of goodwill during this cost of living crisis. You can keep my winnings mampi (I think it was). Looks like you deleted your account. Maybe to avoid paying up!
*Step forward in form Eric Dier!
Chelsea might as well not turn up if Palmer is available.
£1bn spent and a 1 man team.

Better than Maguire. Easy
The same united who shat themselves at against Coventry! I can’t see it
that wasnt at old trafford was it?
I think we have to beat them to stop them winning the league personally. That’s why I’m so concerned that we will just play right into their hands.
Maybe I cursed them.
Maybe I should say arse are getting better

Ironically, when you said this to him a few weeks ago; you were directing it at the wrong guy:
