Tuchel has rightly admitted today that he can’t pick everyone. He’s basically said Bellingham, Foden and Kane can’t play together in his shape. So in those key positions, who would you pick? YOU are the England manager:
Pickford
??????
Stones
Guehi
Meh
??????
Rice
??????
??????
??????
Kane
RIGHT BACK (Pick 1)
James / Spence / Trent / Konsa / Walker
MIDFIELD (Pick 2, to play with Rice in some kind of midfield shape)
Wharton / Anderson / Bellingham / Foden / Palmer / Rogers / Gibbs-White / Eze
WIDEMEN (Pick 2, if not already picked above)
Saka / Palmer / Bowen / Foden / Gordon / Rashford / Eze [Post edited 12 Nov 2025 18:23]

This is for the World Cup, not just for Christmas.
Everyone loves the World Cup. Or they at least want us to win for the Bank Holiday. | |

See, what you’ve done there is basically just summarise the OP and sit on the fence.  | |

....Saka as a definite starter.
Assuming all fit then I'd add in James, Wharton, Eze and Gordon.
But one thing Tommy T has always been consistent with is that he'll pick whoever is in form, so frankly "who knows!". | |

Alright
Pickford
James Guehi Stones Spence
Rice Anderson
Saka Bellingham Palmer
Kane
Bring on Eze, Rogers, Rashford, Gordon etc on against tiring defenders. | | | |

Yeah, he probably is, as the only proper RW for his club - but thought some might want to wedge in a Palmer or Foden there. | |

Not even a mention of Foden.
(because every team will be missing someone like that!)
Good problems, I suppose… | |

If fit id have James at RB
Mf Anderson and Bellingham. Rogers Foden as impact subs but would drop Bellingham for Rogers if it impacts the teams effectiveness
Wide Saka and Gordon as it stands. Should, Palmer be more in the middle? |  |

Loved by the easily impressed despite adding very little, if anything.. The Alan Judge of the the England team. |  |

Pickford
James Guehi Stones Hall
Rice Wharton
Saka Bellingham Gordon
Kane
Which is very harsh on Eze, Palmer, Anderson and Rogers.
Have very little faith in Stones actually being fit so would probably look to Konsa next.
I do like that Bournemouth lad who’s just had a call up as well. |  |

He ain’t starting for England is he? Bench option currently perhaps if the squad size is big enough.
(Cheers) | |

At the start of the last euros our best three players were all 10s, palmer, Bellingham and foden. Palmer at least when on form I think is the best in that position if we’re 4-2-3-1. Bellingham on form is the best all round player and the only one of three who could play further back with rice. Foden just a sub. Rodgers is ok but just a squad player for me. |  | | |

I guess he must regret switching from Ireland. He would have been the main man. Unless Rice hadn't switched either, that is. |  | | |

That's the problem with Tuchel, if you cannot adapt your style to get your best players playing in the same team you're not the manager for the job. |  | | |
