We can laugh about him and call him whatever but I would have take Jordan Henderson. And he would have played. I would also have called Ward-Prowse. There are not to many options but there you have two players who could improve this midfield instantly.
Day 7 | Slovenia vs Serbia | Denmark vs England | Spain vs Italy

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) is joined by CEO Duncan Drasdo and Financial Director Andy Green from the Manchester United Supporters Trust for a special episode on all things behind the scenes at Old Trafford including a brief history of MUST and their aims today, views on INEOS and Sir Jim Ratcliffe so far, and the Old Trafford regeneration.
Bad thing for England perhaps is that now Denmark will be even more fired up to get a result
Even just Gordon for Foden, or Mainoo for Trent would've been a meaningful change. No need to change up the whole team.
It may be better for us in the long run in this competition if we play the same dull football we did against Serbia and scrape a draw.
Surely then we must change things up and Southgate just might stumble across something that approaches competence
Foden has 10 apps this season as a lw for City. Even then it's irrelevant the 2 teams play completely different systems. As for Trent, he has a total of 1 app in midfield for Liverpool this season and has a grand total 3 apps in midfield for Liverpool in his career. Klopp, one of the best managers in the world doesn't see him as a CM and despite having multiple injury crisis's in midfield has given him 3 apps in midfield....
A draw would suit Denmark perfectly. Sadly I can't see any way we don't get beaten by England tonight.
England at 1.72 is tempting
At least if we win today we'll win the group and he can make changes in the last game ready for the last 16.
Expect Eriksen to hover around TAA like a fly around poo.
Trent in midfield again 
Everyone in the world can see it didn't work except Southgate.

This was England's team that lost to France in the WC:
Pickford
Walker
Stones
Maguire - Injured and not available, Guehi was pretty good in the last match I thought. Who else do they go to? Dunk?
Shaw - Inured and not available yet, Trippier out of position is odd, but England just lacks options in this position
Henderson - This seems to the point of contention. England fans were appalled by Henderson. Who did Southgate sub on for Hendo? Mason "useless bastard for United" Mount. He's probably still injured like has been all season. So we don't like TAA here, and prefer ... Conor Gallagher or Mainoo? Fair play. The other option 2 years ago was Kalvin Phillips, who disintegrated his career.
Rice
Bellingham
Foden
Saka
Kane
It's practically the same team, I guess all the TAA vs Gallagher vs Mainoo debate has everyone up in arms, but I struggle, really struggle, to see what the fuss is about.

I am sure that some of these 'expert pundits' have been put on the payroll of FSG. Cannot understand the criticism that Foden is getting even before he kicks a ball. OK he plays for the Blues but he's an utter game changer yet these mug's are still lauding Trent as the second coming. The whole make up of the team has been made to accommodate Trent
Harry Kane to put in another great invisible man performance?
Oh god, Rio.
I still can't get over God Save The King as a national anthem. Granted, if Trump wins in November, I expect the USA to adopt something similar.
GOD SAVE OUR KWING
Surely everyone is hoping for some Højlund goals
Likewise with Foden. Can’t expect miracles when the manager plays negatively. We have talented midfielders on the bench and he sticks a RB there again.
*Sobs in a corner* noooooooo!!!
Do you ever wonder if refs practice coin tosses?
Shaw ain't even on the bench ?
Considering Denmark has two United players on the pitch everyone here should hope they win.Surely everyone is hoping for some Højlund goals
Still not fit.
Nice and clear "feck UEFA" sign there heh.
Surely the 5 at the back he used to play is the only thing that makes sense if you're going to absolutely insist on not having an actual LB in the squad?
Saka played a lot of games at LWB for Arsenal earlier in his career. Guehi has played in a back three for Palace lately. Wing back is about the only position that makes any sense for "Trent", if you have to start him. Foden can be more central.

A waste of spot no ? There wasn't a single available English LB ?
Look at Bellingham with his shoulders out. Micah creaming his pants right about now.
WHAT A SAVE BY PICKFORD!
I think Southgate watched United this season and thought "I'll have me some of that!"
Already a loose ball from TAA
Ras hold up play is always very impressive
This poor pitch will suit England.
I wish I could mute Alan Shearer. He's doing my fecking head in already.
Funny how none of these players can pass in an England shirt like they can for their clubs.
Nice sloppy start from England,
England's passing has been quite erratic so far.
No team cohesion
Sloppy start for England
Not an auspicious start for England.
can either of these teams pass the fecking ball
