He's quite deadly now cutting in from the left....Sterling has come on this season as well. Kane and Alli have that telepathy.

 

I think he’ll play 3-5-2 after recent [relative] success against two proper sides (not having our arses handed to us), so Rashford more likely to start up front? If we’re going 4-2-3-1 a base of Dier and Loftus-Cheek behind Rashford, Ali and Sterling with Kane up front looks decent on paper

Have New Zealand got a team?

 

Apparently yes, though I understand they occasionally lose to regional powerhouses like Vanuatu and New Caledonia. One could probably equate them to Darlington in this scenario.

I thought Southgate was an absolutely dreadful appointment, but he's at least called it out how he sees it and given youth a chance (albeit he didn't have a lot of choice).

 

Playing three at the back means we aren't quite as dreadful at centre-half, and Jones, Stones and one other should do a decent job. Was impressed with Gomez the other night.

 

Outside of Alli, Sterling's had a great season so far, I still rate Lallana as a class touch, Loftus-Cheeke looks a great prospect and we could play Rashford as an inside forward too, so I don't think our team is quite as bad as it might seem. That said, we'll probably go out at the group stage after a disappointing draw with Saudi Arabia, so at least there's not much pressure on them.

 

I actually forgot about Lallana and aye, he's got some class about him
