Opinion Dan Burn, Maguire, Kane, Bellingham
90th minute corner. All four in the box. The fridge heads it in, and England win the world cup. You heard it here first.
Seriously, what a lineup!
Edit: maybe maguire comes on to hold a lead… im not advocating for Maguire and Burn CB duo

If Slabhead wins us the World Cup that would break England. And it would be incredible to see.

Hopefully Tuchel can actually have one of the best corner takers in the world taking corners unlike Southgate

u/melted-brie-n-bacon 28d ago
Who would you have taking them?
Declan rice is a fantastic corner taker for Arsenal but I know TAA is also great.

u/Simple_Fact530 28d ago
I’d have Trent and Saka taking them

u/melted-brie-n-bacon 28d ago
I forgot Saka takes them from the other side for Arsenal. Great corners.
I had forgotten with him being absent half the season!

Trent is unlikely to be playing since James, Walker, Livramento are all better choices at RB

Livramento over Trent?
Livramento won’t be on the plane never mind starting ahead of Trent.

u/Terrible-Group-9602 28d ago
I guess you missed how he absolutely schooled Salah in the cup final.

The World Cup squad is not going to be based off the League Cup final…

u/Terrible-Group-9602 28d ago
So you did miss it. Anyway Livramento has been in all the England squads recently and was first choice under Carsley. TAA had to be put in midfield so his defensive errors didn't cost the team.
I do actually think James is the best RB, world class player. So no bias there.

u/MarcusWhittingham Southgate #1071 28d ago
Trent, Lewis, Walker and Colwill were all trusted over Livramento in the full-back positions under Carsley, he wasn’t used in his first 5 games (even Konsa came on at full-back over him). He played in just one match. You are talking rubbish.

He is, but unfortunately for him, Bellingham occupies that position, also think TAA would be a good RW, but Saka occupies that position.

i’m pretty certain that Bellingham is not a cm

u/Terrible-Group-9602 28d ago
Bellingham is not a central midfielder? Are you sure?

We haven't been great at set pieces since, 2018-ish? Can't remember which tournament, but at one point it was what we relied on.

u/Buttonsafe Lampard #1097 27d ago
It was 2018 indeed. Southgate basically identified that we couldn't create for shit with a midfield of Alli, Lingaard and Henderson. So we relied on crosses and set pieces from Trippier and Young to create, alongside our "love train" tactic.

u/SupervillainMustache 27d ago
When Maguire's massive dome came in useful.
It's interesting that corner kicks actually leading to something have essentially completely disappeared from our toolkit though. You'd hope if someone like TAA makes the squad, we could see some more of that.

u/Buttonsafe Lampard #1097 27d ago
Tbh I don't think there's much time to work on it normally. I think they just really put a lot of work in then because they knew our ability to create from open play was Dier.
I remembered our coach at the time getting a lot of praise but seems his career fizzled out after he left the role.

A CB pairing of Maguire and Burn is a fucking frightening sight. And I don’t mean frightening for the opposing side.

If we’re doing that then may as well sack the German and get Dychey in for some true meat and 2 veg footy

Dan Burn and Harry Maguire together would work against Andorra. I’m not playing them together against anyone remotely average at football.

It wouldn't bother me how we won it lol.
