England Squad

[Oliver's Army]

I agree Lingaard should have been in, had an absolute unreal year since going to Wear Ham but again, not your traditional CM...

I wouldn't have even considered that ****er for a place. Probably got wind that he was out and then 'pulled out' to concentrate on his fashion label Heart the size of a pea, imagine a SF penalty shoot out against France and up steps Jesseeeeeeeee to send us through..... No thanks, I'd rather Pickford took it.

Eric Dier is another one (not in the squad thank ****). Utter ****e, mid table championship player at best.

He would do well to play players in their natural positions. I’ve grown up watching England doing mental things like playing Paul Scholes on the wing and it never leads to success.

TAA grew up playing in midfield all the way through age groups until the first team. He played right back as a result of injuries but played great so kept his place. Personally I'd love to see him in midfield as its England's weakest area.

I'm also one of the few that doesn't mind Walker in Central defense. His pace gives me reassurance!

Midfield is definitely England's weakest area in that squad, there are only 5 of them!

From that squad, as my strongest side I'd play:

GK: PICKFORD
LB: CHILWELL
CB: COADY
CB: STONES
RB: WALKER

DM: RICE
CM: FODEN
CM: MOUNT (future captain this lad)

RF: STERLING
CF:KANE
LF: RASHFORD

Great effort lads but France in the QF was a step too far, what do we need to do different next time...
Always next time, we will learn from this.....blah blah blah.

Is it just me or don't I recognise 1 conventional centre mid in that team bar Hendo? The rest are attacking players who fit well in to an AM type role but we don't have 1 Kante type player who will sit and 'protect' the back 4 or even a conventional CM who can play the traditional CM role. For me, we're basically looking at playing with no midfield and just going defence and attack.

Bullshit team for me, midfield is the heart of a team and we have none on this squad bar Henderson. I actually thought better of Southgate.

Centre mid we have Henderson, Rice, Phillips and Bellingham.
