I've just read a quote where he says he might play Trent Arnold on the wing. So does that hint at a 3-5-2?

It's only a double standard when it fits the narrative.
Trent is fine at rb...just play him rb.
I wouldn't take things like this as a sign of anything other than Southgate has no idea what he's planning to do yet and we'll end up seeing some sort of half baked 352 with James in the 3, TAA on the right and Trippier on the left of the 5

half-baked is the word. Can you imagine Southgate playing Far Cry back in the day? You have four weapon slots, what do you take? But I want all of them... Choose. Southgate reboots into Halflife so he can play a game with every weapon available simultaneously.
only if you can balance it. Lampard and Gerrard was always an exciting prospect but never really ticked like we wanted it to.

You missed my point. Teams at the top have goals spread around many different players. Pretty much everything goes through Bamford at Leeds in a similar vein to Kane hence why they have a lot of goals.
He also needs to play 4-3-3. The vast majority of the starting eleven will play this formation day in day out.
Henderson
Walker Stones Maguire Shaw.
Only reason I do not pick Trent is because Walker and Stones have played all season together.
Midfield is a big mess and difficult to sort.
Forward 3. Kane, Rashford, Sancho, Sterling. Pick 3/4 and see.
We all know Southgate will play a back 5 anyway. Why else would you take Reese James instead of Wan Bisaka.

Again, very misinformed. Harrison scored 8, Dallas 8, Rodrigo 7, Raphinha 6 etc. Some strikers haven’t scored as many in the PL. In fact only Ayling didn’t score for us this season.
Your reasons for him not being chosen are a bit bizarre. As bizarre as Southgate himself.

It's not misinformed. The bigger teams have more options in their forward line to get goals from so is more spread out. Leeds do not as Bamford is their go to man for goals.
It is also basically the same situation as VDB at United. He is a decent player but you are never dislodging Bruno Fernandes.
Whilst I do like Bamford he isn't going to get game time when Harry Kane exists and other players offer something different to Kane.

As an Arsenal fan, I’m in two minds about whether or not I want Saka to go. He’s looked seriously tired lately through being overused as Arteta’s saviour.
Don’t know if a big summer tournament is what he needs right now, or a bloody good rest is better. It’s not as if he’s not gonna get more opportunities, he’s only 19.
What do my fellow gooners think?

I feel exactly the same with Rashford. He needs surgery on his ankle. Guy more than likely has deep heat on a drip at home.

At least Rashford would play, Saka will probably be sitting watching, but still have to do the constant training.

No love for James Maddison?

The guy is going to end up the same as Deli Ali. All about the life and less about the football.

Too many injuries this season

We all know that isn't the reason.

Grealish has done more misdemeanours off the field than anyone in that squad

Our of curiosity, when did Henderson (J) last play? Surely he's not going to be ready at all for this?
