To try and get the best out of the players i would go for 5 3 2 for mation. I think Walker, Stones and Guehi would be a great combination and then i would pick Trippier and Saka as the wing backs.
Central mids would be Rice Bellingham and Foden and then up front i would have Kane and Watkin's. Palmer could in for Kane or Watkins if needed. It would cure the ineffectiveness England have had on the left and would give the team the ability to put into more crosses which will give Kane and Watkins some service.
Gallagher can be a midfield replacement for Bellingham or Foden and if Southgate wanted to be more defensive he could go 5 4 1 and drop Watkins or Kane for another midfielder.
Shaw could come on for Saka knowing he would still have 3 good defenders behind him while he get's up to speed.

The Gallagher decision is a big red flag for me - suggests Southgate is not recognising the problems in the team correctly, and therefore picking a 'solution' that I can't see making any difference.

Gallagher might help with the intensity of our press, but he's not going to help us progress the ball through midfield any better.

It also doesn't solve the problem that our left flank is a complete non-factor in games, nor that we lack runners around Kane.

As has been seen, I'm generally positive on England, and maintain that any criticism of Southgate which just disregards the last 3 tournaments is lazy, but I am concerned with the decisions this time round.

Tonight was the opportunity to make 3 or 4 bold changes, free hit of a game against a weaker opponent, and go and win by 2 or 3 goals and change the whole feel of the camp.

Instead it feels like we'll stutter through to another narrow win, but do nothing to ease the concerns around the system or our performances.

I am lazy, that has been proven , but I haven't disregarded the last 3 tournaments, I see them completely differently to you.

In those tournaments, GS's Plan A seemed to always work well, until he met a team that was good enough to work it out, then he had no response.
This time round, his Plan A is not working from the off, and again he's struggling to find a solution.

"It was a Team effort, I guess it took all players working together to lose this one"

Well yeah, that's pretty much how football works - my point is the fact his plan A got us to a final and a semi-final deserves a lot more credit than most seem willing to give.

I don't really think there is - the squads in WC 18 and Euro 2020 were nowhere near as stacked as we are now and I think it's based on a lot of selective hindsight to suggest we had any sort of 'super squad' in those days. Bellingham, Foden and Saka are all amongst the best in the world in their positions currently, as are Kane, Stones, Walker and Rice... that was nothing like the case in 2018 or 2020.

The 2018 team had Walker, Stones, Kane and Sterling who were top-level players. The rest of the team was Henderson, Maguire, Trippier, Lingard, Ashley Young, Dele and Pickford.

2020 was stronger but still not as good on paper as the German side we beat, nor the Croatians.

That would be the semi final.

I appreciate I am a lone voice thinking this is all part of a wider plan, but some say that betting companies usually know. Betfred have a special Euros deal whereby (up to 3rd July) they will take any bet for England to win the tournament at 100-1.

That is not resounding support for either England or my opinion!
