What England’s Midfield Should Be To Win EURO 2024
Спорт
On this week's episode of The Breakdown, brought to you by Sky Bet, we took a closer look at how Gareth Southgate could setup his England side ahead of EURO 2024.
Do you think Southgate will change his midfield ahead of the EUROs this summer or do you believe he will stick with what has got England to the position they’re in right now?

If it doesn't work then fine but you've gotta take risks when you have such great players at your disposal. Klopp's team is also a completely different setup to England's so you can't compare them there.
Playing so many players out of position and hoping it will work is ridiculous. Better to not overcomplicate things.

Front 4 of Bellingham, Foden, Saka and Kane. Play Rice and another CDM. You can't sacrifice Foden or Bellingham for the bench so I'd rather England start with a defensive minded midfielder. If we are struggling to break down a game perhaps drop one of them into midfield and bring on another forward.

Antony Gordon and Jadon Sancho on the left and right wings adds balance, don't know if Southgate can really include Foden in our best starting line-up without playing an ailing back three. A formation that gets Watkins running the channels could also be good, but we're relying on goals from Rashford even with Kane.
Love this type of analysis!
England now have the creative players for a decent midfield , lacking in the past. Of course Foden has the control and vision to be a Pirlo, or Iniesta. with the support of Bellingham and Rice. If Bellingham joins the attack, Foden can drop back, and vice - versa. As long as Rice and two defenders keep their shape at the back, I dont see a problem. We need our best players on the pitch.

Why is no one talking about John Stones moving into midfield when in possession of the ball just like what he does for Man City, Walker becomes third centre half because we know Gareth loves Maguire and have Luke Shaw or even Gomez as one of the three defenders when in possession.

You have to play Foden for his ability to hold the ball, plus his dribbling skills are frightening. Bellingham is right now the best midfielder in world football.
4-2-3-1 Trent and Rice the double pivot. Kane the 1 up front with a 3 of Foden-Bellingham-Saka. Back 4 Shaw-Stones-Gomez-Walker
Last time I checked we drew 1-1 with Germany in June 22
If Henderson gets anywhere near the squad for the Euro’s, we may as well not bother. He takes up a valuable spot and either won’t play or will be a clear weakness, it’s not worth it for the “vibes”.
Greece got it done in 2004. It can be done but you need a proper manager for starters. Southgate's not cutting it.
Sort out the distribution from the back first. Then sort out the midfield.
Need that one player in midfield that will unlock englands attack.
Ros Barkely is urgently needed in the mid filed if he wants to play with 3 mid fileders. Callagher was only running to the shadows of players. Could not deliver simple passes.
Wouldn't hurt to tag the commentator. Sounds like statman Dave but slightly rougher
In my estimation there are 8 players that HAVE to start: Walker, Stones, Trent, Rice, Bellingham, Foden, Saka and Kane. The only way (in my opinion) to play them all whilst keeping a solid defensive structure is to play a 3-4-3 formation. Back 3 of Walker, Stones and Colwill. Trent on the right, Shaw on the left. Rice and Bellingham as the midfield two with Foden and Saka as 10's or wide forwards. Kane up top. In transition Trent and Bellingam can maraud forward given the defensive solidity behind them, Walker can cover Trent and Stones can move up to support Rice. It would transition into City's 3-2-2-3 Any team to win any international tournament have been solid teams defensively. Rice, Bellingham and Foden/Trent just isn't solid enough defensively to be successful against the big teams. Yes it works against Malta but France would dominate that midfield battle.

Not true. No player close to the starting eleven offers transitional threat the way he does. Teams can position higher up, and feel more confident in defensive transition if he’s not on the pitch. The danger of being able to get in behind in an instant comes with him, and it’s needed.
England should look to Mainoo to slot in alongside Rice, which allows the talisman Bellingham to shine. Against lesser opponents, & when having to chase a game, Mainoo can be sacrificed which allows Southgate to bring in the added attacker allowing 2 of Foden, Rashford, Grealish, Maddison, Palmer, or maybe even Sancho tp feature alongside Bellingham, Saka & Kane. There's still value in the experienced Henderson, Phillips, & even Mount, all of whom would bring crucial know-how and experience needed in pressurized and critical periods, which England will no doubt face! I think the Euros are a lot more competitive than the World Cup, & so it would be foolish for Southgate to outright leave Rice alone to sit in midfield, because that would leave the midfield outnumbered, & despite all the attacking prowess, leave not the greatest of vulnerable! I also feel that what's often missed in this debate is that if every single one of those attackers puts a shift in off the ball, then there's no reason why they all can't fit into an Eleven that flourishes with it's best attacking players on the pitch, without overly exposing itself defensively. Sad thing is that historically, it's the pragmatic teams that tend to go all the way in Euros. We saw it with Greece, Portugal, and Italy during recent editions. Even as great as Spain were, they were merely pragmatists with possession, and so it's important for Southgate to be flexible to account for the loss of a Rice, Bellingham, Stones, Kane, etc....which is always likely to happen just before or during the tournament.
No mention of Palmer. Insane
Midfield did great against Brazil 🤦🏾♂️. Southgate has done well for England but he's too rigid. Need an innovative, think on your feet type of manager. He needs to win the Euros if not I'm afraid he's time is up.

I think peopel are really sleeping on Alexander arnold as a CDM next to Rice. putting trent in DM gives us the ability to harness all his strength at the same time using his defensive skills aswell. Trent isnt the best defender which is why he would be great as a mid, it means hes not always going to be hour last resort, If they get through trent they still have Stones or walker to get through. While in mid we can also use trent on a pivot aswell as using his prowess in long ball passes which i think england has been severely lacking since Scholes, Gerrard, Rooney and Beckham retired. If southgate uses trent i think he will be just as much of a linchpin to England success as Bellingham will be.

The Foden and Bellingham example you use to show that it could work is taken from a game where they don't both play as midfielders. You're literally proving the opposite of your point.
A chance for Southgate to showcase his Managerial skills to Sir Jim
Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Shaw Trent Rice Jude Saka Kane Foden No brainer
Pickford Walker Stones Shaw Rice Ward Prowse Bellingham Foden Bowen Kane Watkins/Rashford
Shaw might be back in time for the Euros. Rumour is that he'll be back for United's last 3 games
5:25 England's strategy: have the opponent score own goals
For me it’s Stones as a sweeper/half back with Rice operating more in the 8 role and then Bellingham as a 10. Trent starts at right wing back but Doughty and Walker can both cover there if need be. Then Grealish and Foden can cover the ten although both go as wingers Gallagher and Maddison go as the other two midfielders.
Will never work while Southgate is in charge. We have some of the best players in the world but Southgate’s style of play is too defensive

We all know Gareth Southgate is too much of coward to play his most talented team. Expect another poor in-game management performance by Southgate that makes England lose a big game and be eliminated.
Well that has been Englands problem. This is by far the best talent England has had and yet I have the feeling Southgate will bow it. Southgate has to get his best two players for every position and stick with that. You can’t have Foden and Bellingham playing behind Kane, Rashford and Saka. That will be a disaster because that gives you room for only one defensive midfielder and we all know Declan Rice likes to go forward.
Lots of rhetoric here “ if England want to progress as a nation “😂😂 the midfield is very strong though

@@dobianuli2742you literally know nothing about football. Foden can play and does play multiple positions across the frontline. Bellingham has played this year as a central 10 for most of the time, that’s it.
It should be Rice, Bellingham and Maddison. That’s the most balanced midfield in my opinion
Rashford over grealish in this team is absolutely ridiculous
Trent in midfield, nah. This aint FIFA people

Starting there, I would agree with your statement. But tucking inside in possession obviously works.

There's no way you can leave out foden Rice Bellingham Saka
Trent is an inverted full back because he's not a full back
Well, if they keep playing kids with rotten strike records, don't expect much.
Trent in midfield Defensively inept Positionally poor Work rate questionable Kobe is a ready made cm/dm or hybrid Unflappable Wins the ball well And can spot a pass Kobe is exactly what we need not Trent

@@kingrobert7246 u seen the games he’s played in ? You seen his composure and maturity? Remember Wazza at 16 after a few games ?
you could have all of the greatest english midfielders in this squad, if southgate is the coach - they will be benched in favor of henderson
Why is nobody talking about playing Stones in midfield alongside Rice, Jude and Phil?
Big risk to play Trent in midfield in a big game final. It's not his natural position, do you really risk something like that in a final? Any mistake is so costly... hmm.. I don't see why Foden moves across to the 10 and Bellingham plays deeper in this 'pivot' role.

Ward Prowse?
Put the St George Cross back on the shirts for one thing. Going into international football matches may be akin to battle,so those that forget God are bound to be forgotten by God.
l really think Trent Alexander should be moved to cm with Jude Bellingham and rice at cdm
