Which is why you should go at teams and attack as your strength is all with forwards or attacking midfielders.
It just becomes too attacking then you're going to scare the **** out of an already dodgy defence imo. Alli is certainly one for the future but as much as he's exciting he's also indisciplined and arrogant, I feel there's improvement needed before he's able to step up.
I don't think Hendo has done enough to keep a place he's been poor but what option is there? You're very thin in the midfield as in box to box or defensive.
Same impact in games at international level as he has had at prem level this year? Didn't think was that hard to work out Think hes he's been alright this season but made to look better by Kante alongside him.

Still far more effective and in better form and more exciting to watch than Any other England midfielder this year. Get him him in there and learn on the job, Gerrard was rash and indisciplined early on but still put him in every team because his quality out did that.
You could be right but it would be a risk without a solid DM in there to protect, Dier is good though.
Stones can't get into the Everton side ahead of Jagielka so how's he getting into the England side ahead of him?
I like this line-up bar the fact that Hendo and Studge are playing (in a purely selfish view point). I reckon I'd swap Hendo for Alli though, play Dier, Bakley and Alli as a three with Dier holding.
Pretty average squad by England standards. Best side on paper probably --------------------Hart Clyne----Smalling---Jagielka----Rose (?!?!) --------------Dier-----Alli ------Sterling-------------Barkley ----------Sturridge---Kane But if England were smart they'd play one up top and employ Milner/Lallana or someone else in a 4-2-3-1. Looking at that the defence is average, the midfield unproven and lacking leadership. Lack of real pace outside Sterling. Meh. Doesn't compare at all favourably to France, Spain, Germany... even Italy for the Euros. Portugal too. Reckon Spain and Germany could field two sides better than this English one.
If we're looking for the best side, in not sure how... - Studge gets in there - Sterling gets a place - Vardy isn't in there In talking about in all three cases
Sterling is the only player with pace who can run the ball out of defence + be an outlet for Barkley etc. On paper (like I said) Sturridge is England's best striker and indeed best player IMO. Vardy isn't as good as Kane or Sturridge. Unless England can replicate Leicester's entire set up. Vardy has a lot of confidence right now and should be an impact player. Fully expect him to be dogshite again by September.
Let's be honest; that England squad is pretty awful and is right up there with the worst squads we've had in the last 20 years. The 'shining lights' are either coming back from injury (Sturridge), young (Barkley, Alli) or unproven at a higher level (Vardy, who's also highly unlikely to improve at his age). Kane I'm still unconvinced on. It just lacks characters, bite, leadership, experience and, in general, top quality.
