forget that thing. Dier and Henderson are first choice midfielders for England


I don't think Smalling is going to make it to first team. That 3 at the back is most likely Stones, Jones and Walker.

Maybe Smalling sneaks on the plane as a squad player. Trippier is definitely going. Young too is going. So TAA probably has to compete with Bertrand for a seat.

Southgate would be making the same old English mistakes if he continues the same old English traits of na me dey here first.

Why should Stones go when England don't have that passing ethos and Stones has not played regularly sinve November. Stones putting the whole defence at risk just to play a fancy pass to players who are not comfortable receiving those risky balls is an exercise in stupidity.

I would take Jones, Maguire, Smalling and Dier for CB

Walker and Arnold for RB

Bertrand and Rose for LB

Klopp has handed him a midfield, already coached and already have a relationship. This is where England usually falter because England don't have a style and their players don't gel with each other easily in the midfield. The 3 Liverpool midfielders will start. Dier to step out of defence and deputise for Hendo as DM if he's injured. Wilshere plus one of Lewis Cook/Harry Winks or RLC will make the plane.

Alli, Lingard, Sterling plus 1 more for the wings. I would throw in a wildcard here and go with a really pacy dribbler as only Sterling fits that mould and you would need another one if Sterling gets injured. Maybe Demarai Gray.

Then Kane, Vardy and Rashford as strikers.

Hazard made the biggest mistake of his life by joining Chelsea.

Salah and Kdb were not better than he was when they came, they had to leave Chelsea to go do greater things.
Egbon, I disagree undecided

I usually do not like arguing about Hazard and all that, but, this one, I no gree.

This is actually a very sensible line up
Let's see how they arrange in the next friendlies.

Winks is injured for the rest of the season and won't make it. Wilshire too is a big doubt.

Other than That, I can't argue with your selection really.

Spot on, however, Young has been more consistent and fit compared to Rose...I think Bertrand starts and Young sits on the bench...
Maguirre has to make the cut along with Smalling (average? Yes but he is currently on a rich vein of form), Jones (if fit) and Stones.
In midfield, Dier should deputise for Hendo, Milner, OX, Wilshere, Winks...
Attack is pretty much straight forward as is the AM and wingers.

One may support an epl team and England national team, but it's not a must that once you are supporting an epl team, you must support English national team. You disgraced yourself that time you made that statement then.

How Gareth worked this one out still beats me.
Lingard is an average player who hit a purple patch that has slowly reverted to its normal Brown.

That's strange. I really don't get the Lingard slander. Anyone with half a brain watching the three lions will notice very distinct clear patterns in attacking midfield play to justify the switch from Alli to Lingard as first choice AM.

First of all, England has three strike choices upfront: Kane, Vardy and Rashford. Alli only seems to have a connection with Kane and attempts to exploit that connection to the max. Basically, in other words, a blocked Kane - Alli channel results in stunted attacking play for the whole team. Anyone that watched the earlier matches in the World Cup qualifying campaign should be able to ratify this observation with veracity.

Lingard however seems to have a broader picture of link up play. He also seems to function in a Rashford - Vardy setup better than anyone in that position and he is also comfortable with one touch attacking football further boosting fluidity and also helping the team leverage the strengths of other cogs in the machinery like Sterling, for example.

Personally, I think the club no get appetite to nurture or develop any player. You should come already firing on all cylinders.
