World Cup 2022 - England vs France
Starting line up
GK-3-4-2-1
Pickford, Walker, Maguire, Stones, Trippier, TAA, Rice, Shaw, Bellingham, Foden, Kane
- Pickford has been great for England rarely putting a foot wrong.
- Maguire can deal with the ariel threat of Giroud better than anyone else.
- Walker gives us the pace and cover on that right side.
- Trippier gives us experience and set piece potential
- Shaw and Stones both solid on that left side.
- I would play TAA alongside Rice with Foden and Bellingham in front of them. An asymmetrical box style midfield 4 with Kane at CF.
Key Tactical Points
- Dealing with Mbappe. Stop the service to him.
- England will need to be better on possession of the ball and that's why I would have TAA.
- Our explosive midfield box can dominate central areas.
- Overloading on the right and utilizing the asymmetrical box midfield to full effect

What if...
- If we wanted to shut up shop and protect a lead, bring on Henderson for TAA. Phillips for Rice and Saka for Trippier. Switch into a 4-3-3 with Henderson, Phillips and Bellingham as the 3 and Saka, Foden wide with Kane.
- If it was tight and we wanted to unlock them whilst keeping our shape then Grealish for TAA and dropping Bellingham next to Rice.
- If we wanted to change shape, Taking off TAA, Trippier and Foden and bringing on Saka, Phillips and Rashford and reverting to a 4-2-3-1 with Phillips and Rice behind Rashford, Saka and Bellingham.
- If we needed a goal I would go 3-1-4-2 keeping the same 3 in defence, Rice holding with TAA,
- Bellingham, Foden and Saka with Rashford and Kane as the two. Possibly Wilson with Kane down the middle with Saka Rashford wide.
