England, Euro 2021: Pick your team

Leeds United style 2-2-3-1-2:

Pickford

Trent
Maguire
Stones
Shaw

Henderson
Bellingham
Mount

Grealish
Kane Sancho

Can't believe Raheem Sterling isn't in that team. Him, Rashford, Rice and Lingard off the bench if things are going horribly wrong against, say, Croatia

Depends on the match I think, 4-2-3-1 against Scotland and probably Czech Republic (depending what we need by then). 3-4-3 for the opener against Croatia.
 
It's a difficult one for Southgate. England have lots of options now:

Pickford

Alexander-Arnold
Stones
Maguire
Shaw

Rice
Mount
Henderson (Ward-Prowse if Hendo out)

Foden
Kane
Sterling

That means Rashford, Grealish and Sancho all on the bench or missing out completely.
 
4231

Pickford

Walker
Stones
Maguire
Shaw

Rice
Mount

Foden
Grealish
Sterling

Kane

That's the team I'd pick also. I
don't think Southgate will though, I think it'll be that team but Mount in the Grealish role, and either Henderson or Calvin Phillip's where you've got Mount.
 
We're expected to beat C.Republic and Scotland, so I'd go with this team for those games. Against Croatia I'd start Walker ahead of TAA. I'd also start Henderson in midfield and replace Grealish with Foden.

Pickford

TAA
Maguire
Stones
Shaw

Rice
Mount
Foden

Sterling
Kane
Grealish
 
D.Henderson

Trent Stones Maguire Shaw

J.Henderson Mount

Grealish

Sterling Kane Foden

Great mixture of experience and youth. This team gets us to the final. Dean Henderson has a point to prove to everybody, Pickford promises you a clanger 1 in 3. Playing Henderson next to Mount gives Mount that added time and space to pick a pass from a deeper position freeing up Grealish to do what Grealish does best.

Options on the bench with Rashford, Sancho, Bellingham, Chilwell.
