BBC Sport chief footballer writer Phil McNulty is here to answer your questions this morning...

Q. Hi Phil. Considering the start a couple of Premier League teams have had, have you changed your mind about who is going to go down this year? Rachel Fleming

Hello, Rachel. I made the choice of Southampton, Leicester City and Ipswich Town so I have to stick with that for now.

From what I have seen, though, I can see Ipswich Town making a decent fist of it and then we have the struggles for Wolves, who I thought would be doing better than they have, so that’s always a bit of a wild card.

I’m at Southampton v Leicester City this weekend so maybe I’ll learn more then.

There are more international fixtures to come later today, including Wales against Montenegro at 19:45 BST.

Elsewhere Germany host the Netherlands, and Belgium face France in the two standout fixtures on Monday.

Scotland are back in action again tomorrow, hosting Portugal, while Northern Ireland take on Bulgaria.

Q. Do England need to choose a compromise? Seems like we look better in the current formation when Watkins stretches a defence. If we want the best out of Harry Kane, do we need to build the formation around him adding pace out wide, or with Watkins alongside in a 4-4-2? David, Birmingham

If England are to stick with Harry Kane then he certainly does need more mobility around him as he can look laboured these days.

I really like Ollie Watkins but not sure England will opt for 4-4-2 with the players they have so it may be just a case of getting players in and around Kane.

There will be a day, of course, when England will have to pick someone other than Harry Kane as he is getting older, has had injuries and does not look as mobile as he once was, great goalscorer though he remains.

On the performance of Angel Gomes and the Lille midfielder's sublime assist for Jack Grealish...

Angel Gomes is a really interesting player.

You see his stature and then you see him play the game and see that he's always creating time for himself.

His anticipation is good and he has real discipline with what he does on the pitch, playing the ball sideways and backwards.

It was a big moment for him to show that he can get into that position and create an assist with the quality that he did.

Q. Hi Phil. If you’re The FA, do you pursue a ‘win-now’ approach regarding the next manager - meaning chasing Pep/Tuchel for 2026 — or stay rooted to the process, knowing the 2028 Euros are in the UK, and focus on Carsley, Potter/Howe? Thanks.Ed, London

Hi, Ed. My own view is that you need to have a manager who can do both but I think there is also a very strong element of being short-term as well, someone who can have a real crack at winning the World Cup in 2026.

You can’t focus too far down the line. If that meant Thomas Tuchel, who can have a quick impact but has not stayed anywhere too long, then that would be fine with me.

It is about winning tournaments and England’s senior mens’ team have not won one since 1966.

England midfielder Declan Rice, speaking to ITV Sport, on Jack Grealish: "Do you know how good Jack is? He has something very special.

"He looks really confident and I am buzzing for him. When he is playing well and happy, he is a massive boost for England.

"Since the manager has come in, he has been so honest, so refreshing. He has a way of playing and he really wants us to stick with that."

Q. Hi Phil, how would you solve the issue of Bellingham, Foden, Palmer, Saka etc? Personally I would play Bellingham alongside Rice with Foden in front of them with Saka on the right and Gordon/Grealish on the left with Palmer on the bench. Also I would have Watkins starting as we need pace to stretch teams to give the ball players more room to play in. Thanks.Graham

Morning, Graham. Well I wouldn’t play pretty much all of them, which is what Lee Carsley tried to do against Greece when it failed spectacularly.

I actually think you offer up a very good solution, although Bellingham seems to have a free role at the moment, which I am not sure is the best outcome for England, and it has been a while since Phil Foden had an impact for England.

As I mentioned earlier, I was surprised Ollie Watkins did not get more game time against Greece and Finland because Harry Kane was injured for the first game and looked very laboured before he was substituted in the second.

The one thing that can fix you is a manager playing you and putting faith in you, and that's what Lee Carsley has done with Jack Grealish.

He's got a response and a bounce from that player because he feels loved again. Everyone wants to feel that the manager rates you and wants you in the team.

He's a manager that spends a lot of time with the players.

BBC Sport chief footballer writer Phil McNulty is here to answer your questions this morning...

Q. Hi Phil. Away from the manager debate, if this Nations League campaign is all about trying things out and building towards the World Cup, then do you think Ollie Watkins needs to start one of November’s matches – with Harry Kane perhaps subbing him at 70mins, not the other way around? No striker at all clearly didn’t work, and as much as I really admire Kane, he seems more and more to be on periphery of the action. Sean

Morning, Sean. I was very surprised Ollie Watkins, or indeed Dominic Solanke, did not get more game time in these two internationals against Greece and Finland.

The first ploy of playing without a striker against Greece was a failure, while I felt Harry Kane looked very laboured and off the pace here in Finland.

It would not be a problem for me if England started Watkins or Solanke against either Greece or the Republic Of Ireland but the situation seems to be that if Harry Kane declares himself fit then he plays. It was no surprise when he was eventually substituted in Helsinki as he has had that injury that kept him out against Greece.

Despite playing out of position for England last night, England's man of the match Trent Alexander-Arnold came out on top for touches (130) and passes (110) - with an overall passing accuracy of 86.4% - as well as being joint top for shots (three) and crosses (four).

He may have also reached free-kick level: Expected to score them...

I still can't believe how bad he [Trent Alexander-Arnold] is defensively and against better teams he will get found out.

If you saw him the other night defending, it looked like he'd never played right-back before either.

Q. Morning Phil. A lot is said about the differences between international football management and club management but are they real or imaginary? Martin, Birmingham

Hi, Martin. I think there is a difference because at club level you work with players every day and can put your theories and strategies in place day after day.

There is almost an element of “hit and run” about international management, where you only have a few days every month or so to get your messages across. You are, however, picking from the best pool of players.

So yes, there are differences.

Trent Alexander-Arnold may have once again been playing out of position for his country - but it was a familiar tale for the full-back when he curled a sublime free-kick into the top corner.

It was a trademark finish that Liverpool fans have become accustomed to over the years, but one that might cost his Three Lions team-mate Jack Grealish.

"I joked to Trent before the free-kick, 'score this I will give you 500 quid', and he slapped it in top bin," Grealish told ITV after the 3-1 Uefa Nations League victory.

On Alexander-Arnold's performance, interim manager Lee Carsley said: "There's no surprises in terms of the quality he's got and the areas of the pitch we can get him in. Trent's quality speaks for itself. I do not see it that I have to make a space for him, he has more than earned his space."

Along with all the manager chat, there were plenty of opinions being shared on individual players as Lee Carsley grapples with the task of trying to get the most out of England's talents.

Liverpool's Trent Alexander-Arnold put in a man of the match performance for the third time in four games in the post-Gareth Southgate era, while Jack Grealish is feeling loved again - but had to give his team-mate £500...

Q. Hi Phil, Lots of speculation on the England Manger Job. Can I ask who you think should be England Manager and Why. My thoughts are either Pep Guardiola or Eddie Howe. I think the Position would suit Eddie Howe more than Pep. The reasons being are he's English and works with a real core of English players Could Pep get the best out of what is on paper a talented crop of players. David, Dunstable

I think Eddie Howe would be a good choice as he is English - which is preferable although I am not locked on to the idea England’s manager must be English - and he has done outstanding work at Newcastle United.

Howe, however, seems happy at Newcastle United for now and they will be equally keen to keep a manager who has done so well for them.

Pep Guardiola would be the dream but I just cannot see that happening. I would never doubt Pep Guardiola’s ability to get the best out of players because he is a genius but it would be different for him trying to get his ideas across in a few days with a national team as opposed to his intense, meticulous work day after day on the training ground.
