The Official England Thread-The Team We All Support [Vol 3]
Discussion
I am going to go with the first 18 of the squad will be:
Pickford
Shaw
Maguire
Chilwell
Philips
Tripper
Walker
Foden
Saka
Grealish
Bellingham
Henderson
Rice
Kane
Wilson
Rashford
Stirling
Not all of these will go but he’s going to get all his mates in for his last camp

I hope so. He's been even more awful at West Ham than at City. And he never played for City.
However I suspect he will be. With no Henderson (apparently) will need some experienced DM cover for Rice and Bellingham. So even though Phillips hasn't played much football, he'll probably still be selected.

Goalkeepers will be interesting selections, as the two normal backups to Pickford both have question marks over, Pope has only just played the one game last week since being out injured for half of the season, and Ramsdale has pretty only played a few cups games all season....!!
There was some talk about the Swansea City goalkeeper being a surprise selection. Will find out in a few minutes.The Henderson story is very funny. Leaves Liverpool, follows the money to Saudi and alienates a community he supported, hates it after 5 mins, moves back to Europe on the back of a call with Southgate to understand what level he needs to be playing at, has a bad time at Ajax and is now dropped by Southgate, his number #1 fan. What a year!

He's not the brightest light bulb in Blackpool illuminations though is he.

Walker I agree with you but Trippier world class? Not a hope in Hell. People forget he was rotting on the Spurs bench a scant few years ago when we were in desperate need of a LB, that's how crap he was.
He was a lot better after leaving you and joining Atletico and initially Newcastle though? Those days are well behind him now I agree.Slowboathome said:
We really miss Shaw when he's not there.
I know Maguire gets a lot of flack but Walker, Stones, Maguire and Shaw isn't an awful international defence. But the back-up options aren't great.
Bang average. Stone's best form this season has been at DM, Walker past his best at 33, Shaw has been injured since February and Maguire is Maguire.I know Maguire gets a lot of flack but Walker, Stones, Maguire and Shaw isn't an awful international defence. But the back-up options aren't great.
Quarter Finals will be as far as we go IMHO, but will of course hope for more as always.

The omission of a few comfort blankets and inclusion of a fair bit of inexperienced talent makes me wonder if Southgate regards this as his last hurrah and is prepared to take some chances.
I'd like to see a team comprising
Pickford
Walker Stones Maguire Shaw
Mainoo Rice
Bellingham Foden
Saka Kane

His contribution at WH was sabotage, not football. Dreadful signing. On the lack of depth in defence, it's still a real shame Ben White won't play for England.

So 7 to be omitted from that list, suggest these will be unlucky:Defenders: Jarrad Branthwaite, Lewis Dunk, Joe Gomez, Marc Guéhi, Ezri Konsa, Harry Maguire, Jarell Quansah, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker.
Midfielders: Trent Alexander-Arnold, Conor Gallagher, Curtis Jones, Kobbie Mainoo, Declan Rice, Adam Wharton.
Forwards: Jude Bellingham, Jarrod Bowen, Eberechi Eze, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Anthony Gordon, Harry Kane, James Maddison, Cole Palmer, Bukayo Saka, Ivan Toney, Ollie Watkins.
Trafford, Bowen, Toney, Jones, Wharton, Dunk, plus one whoever gets injured between now & then. Grealish if not.
