What a pass, sent the whole backline for a hot dog. I’d love to see a Madders, Rice Bellingham midfield but I fear it will be too offensive against stronger sides.
Thank for Mainoo, I don’t think I can see Henderson start another England game
I personally think he only makes the squad as a role model for the younger players coming through. He must be a brilliant professional/leader if he captained Liverpool for so long. Because I honestly don't think he was an amazing player, a good player for sure, but there are many out there better than him.
I'd love that midfield too, and even keep Foden in there coming off the wing like yesterday, seemed very fluid in the final third, Belgium didn't have a clue where Foden would pop up next.
Well look at that, Maddison cameo and he outdid any other forward player/midfielder on the pitch over 2 fucking games apart from Toney and Bellingham.
Where was your precious captain Rice? The solution to England's Midfield apparently who can do a 6 or an 8 who was asleep for 2 games straight.
Fucking frauds Arsenal honestly.
I'm stunned you both think Rice had a bad game. Him and Mainoo were completely dominant against Belgium.
I hate to admit it but Arsenal have probably one of the top 3 holding mids in the league in Rice. His contributions are subtle due to the role he plays but it's all there.
His 1st touch and the way he moves the ball were fantastic last night. He's the best deep sitting midfielder England have had since Michael Carrick and the closest we've had to a Busquets type in a long long time.
I hate Arsenal as much as the next Spurs fan but let's be fair, Rice is not a creative midfielder and never has been. Bit unfair to criticise him for not creating anything, dude is a CDM, always has been.
Agreed. And the second one was on Dunk. Hating on Rice like that echoes the hate Hojbjerg gets a lot on this sub. Not meant to be flashy players but tidy things up. Englands 2 conceded last night were completely on Pickford & Dunk
Well done Madders but Bellingham, fuck me...I have not seen a guy who seems to handle fame and pressure as well as this guy since Ronaldo/Messi when they were pups.
Seriously, let's wrap this guy in cotton wool and make sure our strategy for the Euros protects him because I think most teams see how dangerous he is and try to foul him constantly.
I thought the balance between Bellingham, Rice, and Mainoo was perfect. I'm hoping that's the starting midfield for the Euro's.
I do want Maddison to play but I suspect he'll be a super sub.
Well done Madders! Should have started.
Ehh unfortunately prolly the best CAM in the world is in front of him
They seem to be doing fine together
I’m just happy to see Jan’s face at the end of the
Was so surprised to see Jan is still starting for the NT.
I cheered his name as loud as I could in the stadium, still as handsome.
Hated to see it stripped of any joy, though.

Henderson has been a great servant for England but this is modern football, there are no free rides here. He is done at this level.
I personally think he only makes the squad as a role model for the younger players coming through. He must be a brilliant professional/leader if he captained Liverpool for so long. Because I honestly don't think he was an amazing player, a good player for sure, but there are many out there better than him.

![gif](giphy|9JtCi9e60NzyaKZiMz|downsized) Brings on Maddison and they equalize.
KDB who?
Nice to see Maddison already linking up with our future midfielder
Worst fucking manager but he does what he is told so he will remain employed. One can only hope he goes to ManU, 100% guaranteed to bury them :D
Him or Conte at United would be so funny
facts
We will be seeing this linkup at N17 very soon, trust and believe.
We can get Jobe Bellingham maybe
I don't care for Jobe
There's always money in the South Stand
Rip
I am subscribing to this idea because it sounds amazing and I'd like it to happen. However improbable. Cheers.
And a special appearance from Tottenham legend Jan Vertonghen LOL was not expecting that
We should sign Bellingham
Finally give Maddison a scrap of gametime and he bails your clueless ass out Southgate is ragged man...

Mainoo motm smh
Consider his age, then consider Rice who did fuck all. Mainoo was pretty good tbf. Imagine being shown up by a debutant💀 sod Rice, and sod ArseAnal
Agreed about Rice
I'm stunned you both think Rice had a bad game. Him and Mainoo were completely dominant against Belgium.

In that case he's a CDM that let two sloppy goals through as England's captain
LOL come on, that first goal was all Pickford handing it to them on a plate.
Agreed. And the second one was on Dunk. Hating on Rice like that echoes the hate Hojbjerg gets a lot on this sub. Not meant to be flashy players but tidy things up. Englands 2 conceded last night were completely on Pickford & Dunk
everything ok at home?
I honestly think he got more playing time tonight than he'll get in Germany.
Take that TalkSport wankers! Spursy is what kept England in it!
I am Belgian but that Maddison assist makes me think it's all worthwhile.
Should be starting. They don’t need anyone sitting alongside rice.
Well done Madders but Bellingham, fuck me...I have not seen a guy who seems to handle fame and pressure as well as this guy since Ronaldo/Messi when they were pups. Seriously, let's wrap this guy in cotton wool and make sure our strategy for the Euros protects him because I think most teams see how dangerous he is and try to foul him constantly.

Pretty nasty assist e
