Completely free hit, this one - so it's a chance to play with some freedom and see if there's still life in these players somewhere.

Bin off one of the two deep-lying CMs and pick a creator if you can find one, Southgate. The absence of Lallana, Drinkwater and Wilshere makes this tricky - so I guess it's Winks time.
 
No doubt Southgate will have the dog **** that is Sterling and his equally dog **** mate, Oxygen-Chamber as the first names on the team sheet.




:embarrassed: Well I got that spectacularly ****ing wrong.<laugh>

Formation change too - interesting. Look for Stones (and Harry too) to step out into midfield with the ball a lot...

Butland; Keane, Stones, Maguire; Trippier, Henderson, Winks, Cresswell; Alli, Rashford, Kane

If he'd dropped Henderson instead of Dier, I'd be feeling very happy with this line-up. Freshness at last.
 
I don't think Walker or Rose/Bertrand are under much threat from Trippier or Cresswell tbh, but this is a definite opportunity for Butland, Keane, Maguire and Winks to improve their status. Those spine positions are where we've been crap for 5 years or so.
 
Just hearing that intro on ITV has already started to get my back up.

I can't remember how long they've had the contract for England for, but I definitely reckon (at least from personal experience) that they're a contributory factory to the widespread discord with England.
