Who should be in Gareth Southgate's England first XI for Euro 2024? | Soccer Saturday

The Soccer Saturday panel discussed who Gareth Southgate should pick for England's first game at Euro 2024.

England laboured to an uninspiring 2-0 win over Malta at Wembley on Friday, with only a late Harry Kane goal adding gloss to an otherwise poor performance.

Gareth Southgate's side had been hit by a series of injuries in the build-up to the European Championship Qualifier dead-rubber but this was a terrible display from a team with ambitions of winning the tournament in Germany next summer.

Qualification may have already been assured and top spot in Group C was sealed but this performance won't have impressed anyone questioning this team's credentials of going all the way at the Euros.

Not even a Liverpool fan, but the TAA disrespect is unreal!

[Slesaint]

Trent, Kane, Bellingham and Foden are our most talented players and a good manager SHOULD be able to get all 4 of them in the side and make it work

[Abcdhdbenfndn]

I'm shocked pundits still seem to consider Bellingham a box to box midfielder. He's an attacking midfielder and for me personally I would play Rice and Trent in the holding midfield positions with trent playing a deep lying playmaker.

If you're playing Bellingham you're playing him higher up the pitch and you can't play Maddison or Foden in midfield.

[amienndms.gaming]

I think if we could see a midfield three of Alexander Arnold, Declan Rice and Jude Bellingham

[wizzypop]

i would actually put Trent in the team because in the whole England squad the is know one who can pick a pass like Trent sure Maddison can do it but Trent can make passes that penetrate opposing team defence from a long range which most players cant do in England

[filltheglass]

Danny Mills has no business being there. That take on Trent was criminal

[briddie]

the trent hate is unbelievable, arguably the most talented player in our whole squad and all he gets is disrespect.

[dotmanmide]

Of course Danny Mills won't pick Trent who is surprised.

This England TEAM does NOT have many WINNERS, TAA is one of the few that's WON EVERY SINGLE MAJOR Trophy with his Club. He would be THE 1st NAME on the Team sheet- NOT for his defending, but his ABILITY to WIN!!!

[oneJJ]

Foden starts in any team in the world, any day of the week.

[Jynz]

. Pickford
Walker. Stones. Colwill
James
Trent. Rice
Saka Bellingham Foden
Kane

Its an elbow back 4 giving James agency to get forward, if James is injured as always.. Trippier slots straight in. Colwill at LB gives you the height needed from set pieces lost by playing Walker RCB. Saka can stay forward with Trent & James both in behind, Foden can come short to pick up the ball leaving space in behind for Jude to occupy

[arkobanerjee]

Pickford, Walker, Stones, Tomori, Tripper, Alexander Arnold, Rice, Bellingham, Saka, Foden, Kane

[noaharul-lim]

blaming ten hag for rashford's form laughable this punditry

[ooseuzl]

STERLING IS SO DISRESPECTED, he’s been our best player in tournaments. FACTSSSS

[alexischristou]

Danny Mills showing his true hatred towards anything related to Liverpool FC, at least hes consistent

[fivestarman]

Saying that Henderson should play over Trent in midfield is absolutely wild. Did some people pick up a coma four years ago and have only just woken up now? It's not 2019 anymore and Henderson is not only physically finished, he's not even playing in Europe anymore

[Thaitanium]

Wow, could the Sky Sports presenter not be any more bias against Newcastle players and pro Man United. All 5 of the guests say Trippier and then he says 'I've got the deciding vote so it's Luke Shaw'. What a knob.

[nithinissac]

we're not solid at the back because we have Maguire with zero recovery pace. Throw in someone like Dunk, White, Fik or Guehi. Also, I like Levi Colwill at LB, cause he has the natural talent of defending well, assuming Shaw is injured.

[LAKKISS]

Never been a fan of Mills and this is nail in coffin saying Trent should not be in the Euro squad what a pundit lol!

[conordelaney]

Trent is an unbelievable footballer. He's as good as De Bruyne from a creativity perspective. This lad is an all-time Premier League great in terms of attacking full-backs.

He doesn't have great defensive instincts, however. He gets caught out of position, or doesn't react quick enough in defensive moments.

I like him.
