Alex 35077 Posted June 27 Share Posted June 27 1 hour ago, Dr Gloom said: that looks good enough, though shaw is apparently nowhere near matxh fitness - ridiculous to bring only one natural left back, who is injured. i'd go like this for Slovakia -------------Pickford--------- Walker--Stones--Guehi--Trippier ---------Rice----Bellingham------ Palmer---Foden---Gordon -------------Kane------------ Same team for me. Or keep Saka in then have Gordon or Palmer as the option on the bench. At least one of those two should start. Saka hasn’t impressed but being the only one in the side capable of making runs behind their defence has made it difficult for him. I.e. defences being able to double up on him. Due to them knowing he’s the only one in the front 4 (of the starting XIs so far) with genuine pace. Honestly though, you could make a good case for any of Saka, Kane, Bellingham or Foden not starting. If you don’t perform and still start, what sort of message does that send to the likes of Toney, Gordon, Watkins and Palmer? It might actually help those players you leave out. As there’s usually more gaps etc if you come in for the last 30 mins or so. Might give them a much needed kick up the jacksie too. As Holden says though, all this discussion seems a bit moot. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kid Dynamite 7025 Posted June 27 Author Share Posted June 27 When you look at the stats Palmer, Gordon, Watkins and Bowen etc have put up this season, it's fucking mental that they are only getting 5min cameos at the end of games 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see you have Saka as the only one of the front 4 with genuine pace. At the last world cup Saka was clocked at 33.2 km/h, a little slower than englands third fastest player Foden who clocked 33.6 km/h. ( Walker was fastest at 34.4 and Gashford second at 34.2) tbf not many realise just how quick foden is. More recently Foden was clocked as Englands second quickest in the opening week (after Walker oc) euro 2024 link Having said that Walker isn't the fastest player in Citys squad. Can you guess without looking it up? Gordon is obviously quicker but will he get the chance to show it. Fodens having to go hunt the ball as he isn't getting it wide left. Not really fair, but life isn't 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holden McGroin 6583 Posted June 28 Share Posted June 28 (edited) Aye. It’ll be someone like Akanji or something like that. Wasn’t the quickest PL player recorded last season, like Dara O’Shea? Edited June 28 by Holden McGroin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
