I'd laugh my ass off if he starts tomorrow following hitting some screamers in training.

He's not starting and he won't even be subbed in if this game goes wrong (which is very likely to happen). Can't wait for Southgate's excuses. Watch this space also. Maguire will have a nightmare against Dia.

Slightly concerned about these. This is a strong side: Mendy, Koulibaly, Diallo, Gueye, Dia. Even without Mane, these are still players who are established in the top European leagues, failure to turn up will see these turn us over.

 

I saw Ferdinand and Neville suggest that Walker should be dropped so that he’ll be fresh to face Mbappe. Laughable. This is based on two hypothetical scenarios, it’s a complete disregard to both Poland and Senegal, did we not learn anything from the Iceland game in 2016? 
 

We should comfortably win this if we are serious about winning the tournament, but please show Senegal the respect that they deserve.

Why? 

 

He's just taking the piss out of an article that was factually incorrect?

Also, a team who is already used to winning knock out football games after already winning one tournament this year.

 

Hope Southgate goes with the same team as last time around, but wouldn’t surprise me if Mount finds his way back in somehow.

I suspect apartments in that building are £2500 a night during the world cup. No different to anywhere else where a sporting event is held

Almost certain that Mount will start, sadly.

 

Southgate and the media seem to have forgotten that Maddison is even in the squad.

I think it will be the same team tbh ..

 

Maddison was unlucky to be injured for the first two games .

I'm not sure. I think Rashford and Foden started as rotation options. Think he'll revert to the team from the first 2 games. He absolutely loves Mount and Sterling.

Mendy hattrick.

Based on performances so far, no way does Mount start ahead of Foden or Sterling over Rashford.

The only change id make from the Wales starting line up is bring Trippier in for Walker.

Indeed, however I would say to a lot of people that looks like a very nice hotel room.  Pretty standard to those who travel a lot on business though.

Only if Walker is feeling it after playing, otherwise madness.  We aren't going to beat France anyway.

[Nalis]

I think it will be

 

Pickford

 

Trippier

Stones

Maguire

Shaw

 

Bellingham

Rice

 

Mount

 

Rashford

Kane

Foden

 

It's probably worth resting Walker if he's still making his way back from injury to save him for a potential man marking job on Mbappe. If he's 100% then he should start ahead of Trippier.

 

Mount will start I reckon though we all know it should be Maddison in that role.

[ClaphamFox]

Unchanged, according to Jonathan Norcroft in the Times.

Foden, Rashford, Henderson and Walker start

Lol...Madders being injured = 0% chance of playing.

Madders fully fit = 0% chance of playing.

 

Southgate would play a crocked Mount/ sterling/Rashford first!

[David Hankey]

All this conjecture about who will start is bollocks. All that matters at this stage is the result. England 3-0 would be nice.

I am shocked - shocked! - to find that members of a football forum have been speculating on a team selection 😡

I know, however, the second sentence I wrote is far more important.

[Arriba Los Zorros]

I'm actually with Safegate here. Only fair that the lads who got us here start even the likes of Mount. 

 

However if it's not working after a half he needs to have the balls to change it up... That's where he usually falls down.

Naps? He’s having a nap on the tax payers’ dime while beautiful Ingurlish workers are working all the hours just to keep the lights on. He should be forced to stay awake 24hrs a day on that money. It’s disgusting. 

[foxes_rule1978]

Just looks like a standard apartment to me  it’s hardly gold taps, loo etc… haha
