#hes english for luke ayling took me out I'm crying

[kylewalker-peters]

okay here is the much anticipated english rb xi for miss eleanor my beloved (i will welcome any suggestions bc this was lowkey vry difficult lmaooo

GK: kyle walker - there was a game a few years ago where kyle walker went in goal for city tbh that was my main reasoning. also he’s fast and i can’t think of anyone else to put there

RB: KWP - do i even have to explain this one??? his development at right back mad how instrumental he is for southampton plus he’s cute and i think he plays the most traditional right back role here. plus i love him

RCB: reece james - very physically strong and mostly defensively capable, plus gareth loves him

LCB: luke ayling - he’s english and again he’s v defensively sound, also can provide aggression to defensive line - i don’t like him that much tho that’s why he’s on the left

LB: tripps - our fave long-standing english player that gets played in literally every position but his own ,,,,, in honour to euro 2021 he’s playing in lb bc southgate refused to play ben chilwell lol :/

RCM: taa my beloved, a more attacking role bc gareth seems to think he can’t defend, less pressure for him and he has the freedom to provide tons of assists to make gareth look silly xxx

DM: tyrick mitchell - young crystal palace rb, he’s fast and i think he’ll be a good link between defence to attack whilst also supporting the backline, he’s fast not afraid to put in a challenge and can also venture forward really well

LCM: james justin - idk much abt this guy but he has two first names and i think that’s funny,,,, defo more of an attacking rb which is why he’s in midfield

RW: livramento, again young but super good for southampton last season, very good attacking, creating and scoring goals

CF: tavernier,,,,, ok hear me out on this one - yes he plays for rangers but he’s english and also a rb - he’s so so good attacking wise he’s good a good aerial presence and he’s fast and is at the centre of so many of rangers attacks

LW: ben johnson - again young and still in the under 21s set up but he’s so so promising (also there was no way i was putting aaron wan bissaka in this )

ALEX OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOD!!!!!! THIS IS LITERALLY YET ANOTHER MAGNUM OPUS PIECE OF WORK BY YOU I CANNOT BELIEVE THIS!!!! literally the greatest gift i have ever received in my inbox!!!!!!! alex new queen of right backs after this i swear down literally she deserves the crown!!!!

oh my god like all the reasoning makes so much sense and they logically fit so well in every position literally do NOT let gareth see this he will LITERALLY steal this word for word bar for bar reason for reason

FAVOURITES!!! include KWP keeping his RB role (though one day i would like to see him even try midfield because my dad suggested it once in 2017 and I've thought of it nonstop since), reece at RCB, tripps at LB we love a versatile old man, tyrick at DM and livramento at RW is literally so galaxy brained like wow
