Back 3 of Coady, Mings and Trippier with Saka and Trent wing backs? Or flat back 4 with Saka out wide and Grealish/Lingard in midfield?

Good to see Bellingham and Grealish get some game time.

Why would you start a player that you aren't even bringing to Euros in a warmup game for the Euros?

 

[McBain]

Southgate logic. He wants Lingard to prove him wrong apparently.

IMO he would’ve been better to play someone who’s in the squad to give them game time but we all know Southgate is a clown.

 

[Russinating]

Lingard, wtf.

I think he's going with the first one here.

 

[The_One]

southgate making good use of all those RB's hes picked i see

guy doesnt have a clue

 

[McBain]

At least we cant be as bad as Norway Vs Luxembourg.... what an abysmal game of football.

 

[Kenai]

Nothing particularly inspiring so far for England, Austria even less so

 

[Kelt]

No, no, it's a brainwave playing Lingard because, err, umm, actually no, utter brainfart from Southgate.

 

[McBain]

First 20 minutes was pretty average and the last 25 has been utterly abysmal from England, truly woeful.

 

[Kenai]

Feels like a bunch of players thrown into a team because there's a game to be played, rather than anything approaching a warm up or part of development going into the tournament. Presumably because that's all it is.

 

[Raymond Lin]

Baffling team selection.

Kane is our most important player and a certain starter. Why is he playing with the tournament starting next weekend.

Grealish is still nursing an injury, he is picked in the squad and risk him too? Is getting him match fit worth his recovery progress?

As expected, 2 right backs on the pitch, one is played out of his natural position. Just because you have 4 world class right backs it doesn’t mean you should play players out of positions.

baffling.

This isnt very good....didnt expect it to be to be honest.

This

 

[LOAM]

At least the pitch looks nice

 

[omnomnom]

Grealish and Lingard off at HT for me. Grealish purely because hes being battered and has an injury

Trippier can play lb but both of the natural lbs arent there yet.

Nor is Grealish, he is playing.

Baffling.

 

[Kenai]

Nor is Grealish, he is playing.

Baffling.

I think he means they're geographically not there, as they finished their seasons later due to European competitions

Grealish very much is there

 

[McBain]

It’ll be a result just to get out of this game with everyone fit. Austria are a bunch of *****
