My England Starting 11 09:50 - May 16 with 4183 viewsRudyard83

I'm fairly sure that this won't be the actual team, with some pribably not actually going, but this is what I'd pick if we aren't going off repuation...
Pickford
Walker, Lascelles, Tarkowski
Trippier, Bertrand
Henderson, Shelvey
Lallana
Vardy, Kane

In a 3-4-1-2 I think thats a solid squad thats mostly in-form at the moment. Would consider having Alli instead of Lallana, but he doesnt seem to perform for England.

Maguire is a starter.

Bertrand has had a poor season. Rose will be in.

Lascelles wont go. But I agree, should be in the squad.

Shelvey wont be in the squad, and although he does pass well some of the time, hes far from consistent.

Kane and Vardy wont play together.

Agree that Alli doesnt seem to perform for England. I thought Sterling was very good in the friendlies.

Id love to see Loftus Cheek in that midfield. Hes the most talented midfielder that we have.

3-4-1-2? Otherwise you'd have a team of twelve!

I think id have Lingard over lallana, the later hasn't played much this season.

re Lallana, its a bit of a balance.

We always hear that players have played far too much football in a season.

Then we complain when they havent had enough.

I think Lallana will be fresh for the world cup.

I'd disagree that Alli doesn't perform for England and I think it's strange to start Lallana based on "current form" who has played 25 minutes in about the last 6 months.

That team does show how far below previous talent pools we are at the moment. The junior levels are doing well though so hopefully some will come through over the next few years.

Maybe Maguire in for Tarkowski then.
I agree about Bertand, but Rose hasn't played enough for Tottenham, with Davies ahead of him.
I just think that Shelvey has a had a good season, and can change games with his passing range.
Why not, the pace of Vardy is dangerous, with the finishing of Kane. That would be one of the better strikeforces in the competition imo.
I forgot Sterling! He would have to be in there too then...

Alli has had one good moment - against France - as far as I can remember. Lallana is just class when fit imo, although I accept he hasnt played enough this year

I dont think we have the household names that we have previously had. But then again, the last lot got us nowhere.

There is some serious talent in that team that we would rave about if they were foreign.

Walker and Rose are 2 of the best wing backs in the prem.

Stones is one of the most expensive centre backs in world football.

Sterling has had a great season.

Alli and Kane are two of the best forward players in the league.

Loftus Cheek is a rolls royce player and I think this will be his chance to shine.

Lallana is a quality, two footed player.

Maths never was my strong point, although i would have thought that I could count to eleven! Lingard has had a good season, I just really like Lallana

Rose will be in the squad I think. Rose hasnt played in the latter part of the season due to internal issues, nothing to do with form. And his game at the weekend reminded us all how good he is going forward.

I think that Kane and Vardy are both used to playing up top on their own, and that is how we will get the best out of them.

Id have loftus cheek over shelvey every day of the week.

I didnt watch the Tottenham game so I cant comment on that, but there's no doubt that he is class, just on game time I think Bertrand trumps him - not saying that Bertrand is better in any way.
Shelvey is a great passer if the ball. Although I would bring Loftus-cheek, he wouldnt be a starter

I dont think Bertrand will make the final squad, let alone the team.

I would start loftus cheek, hes more than good enough to play tunisia and panama, and that will settle him into the team.

Potentially not, but he is one of a very few English left-backs so he is almost secured a spot due to his position

1-3-4-1-2 surely we need a goalkeeper!

Yeah I think the best option is smash balls up to Kane or over the top to Vardy. Not a bad shout in terms of team selection with a mix of long ball specialists and physical defenders. Not sure what Lallana is going to do apart from feeding off the odd knock down. Against weaker teams I think the back five horseshoe is going to get very boring with us going side to side endlessly.

Rose, Young, Delph. I think those will be the options in the squad for left wing back and left wing back cover.


....and of course Sessengon.

Bit tongue in cheek with the FA's new "progressive football" to play through the thirds but you know what we will end up doing 2-1 down to Belgium needing a point to qualify. The under age groups are progressing well but when the national team steps up in big tournaments we do tend to revert to type.

Id say he only made a serious error for the 2nd goal. Can only imagine the ball had strange movement.

That performance has been much over played.

We do play alright passing football, just not quickly, which is a tactic I'm concerned that we are going to get under a new manager. We are going to have a good future though, some great players coming through

Gutted that the Ox got injured. He'd started to look very promising in the centre of midfield, breaking up play and driving forward with pace. Something that none of Dier, henderson or Livermore can do.

I just hope that Livermore doesn't get selected and we don'd play Henderson & Dier together. I'd rather Delph or Lallana in there (or ideally RLC) alongside one of them who can add a little bit of dynamism and thrust rather than backwards and sideways.

It was a good strike from Arnoutavic (or however you spell it), and you can see the dip on it from the camera behind the goal, but he should probably still save it
