It worked, as you noticed it

The squad: Preliminary on 13:09 - May 25 with 2098 viewspointofblue

Seven players to be dropped. Guessing at:

Henderson, Pickford, Ramsdale
Chilwell, Coady, James, Maguire, Mings, Shaw, Stones, Trippier, Walker
Foden, Grealish, Henderson, Mount, Phillips, Rice, Ward-Prowse
Calvert-Lewin, Greenwood, Kane, Rashford, Saka, Sancho, Sterling

Which would leave out Johnstone, Alexander-Arnold, White, Godfrey, Bellingham, Lingard and Watkins. Saying that, Henderson may not be deemed fit enough which could open the door open for someone. And Saka is a punt because of his flexibility but someone could easily take his spot.

Midfield looks so thin on quality (haven’t seen much of Bellingham tbf) and Henderson almost definitely won’t be fit. Defence and up front looks good though.

In the spirit of reconciliation and happiness at the end of the Banter Era (RIP) and as a result of promotion I have cleared out my ignore list. Look forwards to reading your posts!

From that lot, I'd drop Ramsdale, Coady, White, James, Lingard, Saka and Watkins. I'd have liked to pick Saka over Ward-Prowse but with concerns over the fitness of Henderson and Phillips I think we need more midfield cover.

Bellingham's class. I'd say Goalkeeper and Centre Back are the weak spots. You'd struggle to find a better front line than ours though, with the exception of France and Portugal.

I’d rather leave out James and Saka as opposed to TAA and Watkins

I think James might be picked as he can also play in a back three, whereas Alexander-Arnold. is an out and out full back. Agree, would like to see TAA picked though.

We already have Kane, Rashford, Greenwood and Calvert-Lewin who can play up top so will he choose Watkins over someone who can play across numerous positions?

I think Bellingham should go.

Going to be some unhappy however he cuts that down.

Bellingham should definitely go, I don't think we have any other midfielders who play the role he does. I'd like to see him in the starting line up along with Rice and Mount

I watch so little Premier League football these days that I have to say, looking at that list, some names I don't even know, some I recognise the names but certainly couldn't tell you which clubs they're at, and there's only a handful I could pick out in an identity parade.

Is that just me?

Walker can play CB too which is a plus but as much as I trust Stones I'm not too keen on Maguire and Mings

Calvert-Lewin shouldn't be in this 33, let alone the 26.

How he gets in ahead of Bamford is beyond me.

Henderson's just pushed Spain's Number 1 out of the Manchester United team and Sam Johnstone's probably had an even better season than him. I'd say it's inexperienced at this level rather than "weak" per se.

Not popular on here, but lets focus purely on football rather than loyalties, what more has Bamford got to do to get in that squad?

Personally, I really like the balance of players in our midfield. We've got a real good mix to select from with some real quality in Foden, Mount and Grealish.

I make it one world class player in Kane and one potential world class player in Foden. Out in the quarter finals...

I’d personally pick Bellingham over Ward-Prowse but can’t see it happening, not with Henderson building up fitness.

score more goals i guess, when did he last have a 20 goal league season?

that said, i'd have him in the 30, but he wouldn't make the cut

This season Watkins scored 16 in 40; Bamford 17 in 38. Watkins is the squad but Bamford isn’t.

What formation do we play these days btw? I'd have had TAA down as the best English right-back, surprised there's any question mark over him. Also would have had Bamford ahead of Watkins.

Opinions I know, but he offers something a little different to everyone else out of the striking options, 17 goals is not a bad return for a striker many thought couldn't cut it in the EPL.
