4 right full backs. Why?

Good question, especially as only 5 midfielders in the final 26, and one of those is Jordan Henderson who is only just back from a serious injury and is therefore lacking match fitness. I would have much preferred to see an additional creative midfield player at the expense of one of the right-backs.

I’ve always been impressed with the way that Gareth Southgate handles himself and this essay underlined my admiration for him ?️

Now I know why we need so many right-backs.
The England v Scotland full-back count could be fun if they play Tierney & Robertson
