He struck me as a Cb for some reason, think our defence is a weak link and our channels. Not got many decent wide players. Sterling is alright but not sure about the others.
No it wouldn't There are a myriad of options in setting that 10 up that would be perfectly acceptable. This was a peoples choice vote on the side they would like . I don't expect Hodgson to put this side out. I expect him to continue with his theme and be negative and continue to get the same results over and over again. (much like being in Europe)
I have defensive doubts about Rose, full stop. I also don't think, if I've read the above formations correctly, that neither Clyne, Rose or Walker could play in a back 3.
I ain't bothered what does or doesn't happen to England. In the 2000's the spectacle of having the Wags in tow, and when being a celebrity became much more important than being a sportsman and representing your country ended my interest permanently.
'The people's choice' isn't that as such - it's just the top eleven chosen players that have been crowbarred into a formation, hence having both Walker and Clyne in there. Though I agree that pretty much the entire defence has it's issues, I do think there's good strength in depth in this squad and flexibility in how they could line up. Here's mine: http://bbc.in/1qu6S9M Starting from the back, I only just put in Stones ahead of Cahill, as it sometimes seems as though Cahill is caught out of position when playing against quality, and provided Stones doesn't try to turn his man when facing his own goal, he should do fine. Rose has been the best left back this season, and Smalling the best centre back. Not much to choose between Clyne and Walker - neither are outstanding at the back, but Walker maybe has a bit more pace and power when bombing forward. In midfield, Alli is no-brainer right now and Wilshere, if fit and sharp, is possibly our most talented footballer full stop. Some people might find Milner a negative choice, but if utilised properly, he is genuinely very good and has a physical presence. He can also cross the ball better than most. Rooney, whatever happens and whatever anyone might think, will start probably every game, but at least he is actually making a decent fist of being a midfielder and by being the furthest one forward, he could even get involved up top from time to time. I like the idea of having two strikers and Kane and Vardy have to be the choices (and in that order for me), though a fully fit Sturridge could cause teams problems.Depending on the opposition or flow of the match, you could lose a striker, but have two wingers (probably Rooney and Sterling). All England fans should know better than to get carried away with their chances, but at the same time I think we could be justifiably disappointed if they don't make the knockout rounds at an absolute minimum and (depending on the draw), have an eye on reaching the semis (let's practise penalty kicks this time though lads, yeah?)
I have a ticket for the quarter final that could be England but I need them to win their group for it to be them. Tickets really hard to get this time..

Although Stones has shown a capacity for disaster this season, both with Everton and England, the door is open for him to evolve and come of age this summer. There is no doubting his quality as a creative player, but now he must adapt in the same way that Ferdinand and Terry did, and become the Bobby Moore of the England side. The result will be that he will make the roll his own
If healthy enough, I would choose Wilshere to play with Dier and Alli (although I am petrified that Alli will get himself sent off when it really matters, and is danger from the penalty spot). I would have 5 at the back, and Kane and Vardy up front, with Rooney on the bench to use as an extra forward midfield player
Having watched sturridge last night I believe that a possibility of him joining Kane an Vardy up front is mouthwatering. Wouldn't sacrifice other areas for 443 however but maybe if chasing the game I would
