My Blood Is Blue Posted May 10 Share Posted May 10 Who do you think should/will make the 26 man squad? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted May 13 Author Share Posted May 13 Balance is important, but with a squad of 26, we should be able to get a strong enough squad, allowing for a Plan B and C as well. Trying to ignore my Chelsea bias, my 26 would be: Goalkeepers Jordan Pickford Aaron Ramsdale James Trafford Defenders Kyle Walker Reece James Kieron Trippier Luke Shaw Ben Chilwell John Stones Jarrod Branthwaite Joe Gomez Levi Colwill Midfielders Jude Bellingham Declan Rice Conor Gallagher Rico Lewis Kobbie Mainoo Attackers Bakayo Saka Cole Palmer Phil Foden Jarrod Bowen James Maddison Anthony Gordon Harry Kane Ollie Watkins Dominic Solanke For the majority of the games I would start: Pickford Walker/James - Stones - Branthwaite - Chilwell Bellingham - Rice Saka - Palmer - Foden Kane For the trickier matches against tougher opponents, I would bring Gallagher in to add an extra man in midfield. Pickford Walker/James - Stones - Branthwaite - Chilwell Bellingham - Rice - Gallagher Saka/Palmer -Kane - Foden 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
My Blood Is Blue Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Rumours are… Chilwell and Henderson not in provisional squad. Wharton, Eze, Curtis Jones and Brantheaite expected to be in provisional squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Blood Is Blue Posted May 21 Author Share Posted May 21 Gutted for Colwill, he's good enough to be in that squad, but his injury made it very difficult to select him. Chilwell is out as well, so hopefully he and James can have a proper rest over the summer ahead of next season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Just Gallagher and Palmer, Petrovic and Mudryck, Enzo and Caicedo. Many of our players have a chance of getting some rest before the tour. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted May 21 Share Posted May 21 Apart from Conor and Rice, that midfield looks dodgy. Even with them, the defence is going to be busy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueandproud Posted May 22 Share Posted May 22 At least Rashford's not there, why do people like Andy Dunn question the decision to omit him? He's done sod all for Man Utd this season. I'm also glad Chilly and Reece are staying behind as well, we need them fit and ready for next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sciatika Posted June 3 Share Posted June 3 Watched first 40 minutes. Dull. No pace. Limited tactical plan. Eze, Palmer, Watkins OK. Pickford mistake waiting to happen as is TAA. Very slow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bert19 Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 My team for the first game would be: Pickford Walker Stones Slabhead Shaw Rice Gallagher Palmer Bellingham Foden Kane With the group England have, Southgate should be prepared to be bold and blast through at least a couple of the games. If he needs to tighten it up later in the tournament, then he can revert to 3-4-2-1 or 4-3-3 Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Trent Rice Gallagher Shaw Bellingham Foden Kane --------- Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Shaw Wharton Rice Gallagher Bellingham Kane Foden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sciatika Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Personally, I would prefer it if Palmer and Gallagher had a rest, but I am probably not getting into the spirit of the thing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
