I bow to your superior knowledge. Ive seen him play maybe half a dozen games in the league and I think 3 or 4 of the champions league games and personally, I thought he played quite well albeit the bar wasnt particularly high!

If tomori was playing in the premier league under the spotlight he would be ridiculed to maguire levels. Hes lucky hes in italy going under the radar.

Defensive depth worries me, but I think we have a very strong starting XI there.
Pickford
Walker-Stones-Maguire-Trippier
Gallagher-Rice-Bellingham
Saka-Kane-Foden

The 3-man midfield I think will work nicely with the players we have. It worked really well in the 2018 World Cup with Henderson sitting, and 2 very attacking centre-mids in Lingard and Alli who still ahd the legs to track back and put a shift in defensively, and I think we've got a similar set of players available now

Obvs. But it'll be fun watching our attacks, even though we'll lose 5-4 in every game.

I'm in Germany on the piss with the Tartan Army for ten days, I couldn't give a flying fuck.

I suspect he will play Mainoo alongside Rice. The only problem is that probably leaves Palmer out.

I'd personally be surprised. Less than 30 career starts to his name and in a terrible United team. He does look a tidy player, but can't help but feel he's getting the United youth overhype treatment a little here.

Also has Southgate ever thrown anyone straight into a tournament squad like this? I don't think Phillips had a huge amount of games before Euro 2020, but from what I vaguely remember most are phased into the squad rather than thrown in

FA Cup finalist match winner and Man of the Match... :D
