Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - The Scriptures Prophesied the Messiah Plays 3-4-3

Had a bad migraine.

Took a nap, woke up to see Liverpool get stomped 4-1 at home...

Title race is officially over.

Gundogan is a machine, still angry we didn't get in 2014.

Proper player.

We chose Lindelof over him.
We also chose Lindelof over Van Dijk

That's a sexy midfield but I fear it lacks a bit of strength unless you guys go full possession football. I would put a Milner in there too.

————Henderson————
—Milner——-——Grealish—
Foden—Kane——Rashford/Sterling

Milner retired. Got the Pompey Milner in Mount tho.

Ah yeah it’s definitely me just being a bit over excited. Would probably get dominated by say, France.

We have a real lack of great defensive midfielders or big physical, defensive minded but box-to-box midfielders. It’s annoying how timing works in football, throw a few of our midfielders(CB’a too)in the past in there with this attacking talent and damn.

So in that case i say we just have to go for it, attack, press high and try and outscore teams. It’s more likely to be a cagey 3/5 at the back though which sits in the middle of sitting back and attacking and doesn’t really have an identity and eventually get outwitted by a team with some know how.

Maguire is better than all three of them ... all three added together

Not enough Mount in there I'm afraid

Mount regularly comes on for Grealish/Foden to provide energy at around 63 minutes, depending on scenario, in this alternate reality.

I'd play Mount Grealish and Foden the ball retention passing movement and driving at the defence . Mount also gives the pressing. Maddison Rashford Sancho and Saka (but I think he probably goes as LWB/LB cover ) off the bench.

Yeah a Lampard or a Gerrard would have made that midfield click. There might be a good young 8 somewhere than can hold that midfield for you hopefully.

Also, is there a reason for Southgate to stick with a back 3 ?

Why would you invite Expressions onto your stream when your team is getting embarrassed?

Mount is the best pure #8 England have imo.

I'd say Grealish & Foden are competing with the likes of Rashford for a starting spot

Lol @ the world record defender needing other components to work.

That's almost as farcical as the world record midfielder needing other midfielders to "unlock" him.

how is Coutinho doing these days? will be coming back to the prem?
