Bench Trent NOW!

We're almost at the end of the group stage of EURO 2024, and England look...what's the word...the politically correct term...oh yes. FUCKING BORING.

If you think Trent needs to be benched, stick to cricket honestly. The only reason he was ineffective at mdifield was coz those idiots foden and kane kept dropping back for the ball. Trent needs runners, Watkins and Gordon instead and Trent can do his thing.
And enough with the he cant defend BS. He woudnt have won everything at club level by being a below average defender.
And we all saw Walker's greatness over the last 2 games didn't we lol

The Liverpool bias is strong with this one! If you think the only reason Trent was ineffective in midfield was because other players dropped deep, then I don't know what to say. He's ineffective because he's not a midfielder. He's not a natural in that position, and he's not been coached enough at the international stage to play that position. TAA is naturally a RWB, and there are better midfield options there. Also it's hilarious that you think Southgate needs to build this team around Trent! Basically you're saying that he should keep Trent in midfield - a position he's not a natural at - and change other things around? Keep the Liverpool flavoured Kool-Aid away son.
Walker is objectively a better RB than Trent, and the fact that England have conceded 1 goal in the group stage makes that selection easier for Southgate, who is predominantly a defensive manager. He plays safe, and that's not going to change. For me, the solution is to bench Trent, drop Bellingham back to partner Rice, Play Foden as a No. 10 and put Gordon/Palmer on the left. That birngs the most balance to this side.

@@CornerFlagPod Let's not pretend that Trent wouldn't have done much better with Watkins and Gordon up front. The only obvious flaw in his game was his lack of workrate. Coz of this, he doesnt get into good spaces to receive the ball. This team is crying out for some offensive creativity and you want Trent benched. He's literally been the creative output for his club for a while now. Instead, theyre relying too much on Foden's ball carrying abilities.
At this point I'd trust Mainoo to play alongside Rice and keep Bellingham at 10. He's proven that he can play that position at club level.
