England: Burn and Gordon named in latest squad (Official)


Recommended Posts

Rose has improved a lot, both going forward and defending. I'd be amazed if he's not first choice at LB now.

 

I wouldn't risk Stones in a major tournament just yet. They are mostly knock-out in structure and one slip can lead to two years work down the pan.

Bertrand is surely better than Baines

 

Not sure but i reckon Roy wouldn't take two inexperienced players, it'll Baines as the experienced one and either Rose or Bertrand as the other. Rose would be ahead on Premier League form i should think.

My main memory of Baines for England is getting absolutely rinsed by Candreva time and time again, who is pretty average, in the World Cup

 

I'd take Rose as 1st choice and Bertrand as 2nd if it was me. Baines is ok, not one of my favourites. Decent set pieces as we found out like.

Can Stones play holding midfield? Don't like him in defence, but he's got something about him and I'd prefer him to Drinkwater.

 

Stones looks like one of those graceful players who could play anywhere. Never know him to play in midfield so i think it's non starter. And surely it'll be Dier playing in front of the defence. Which would be our player in that position from this seasons form.

I thought Drinkwater was impressive last night, was there when needed defensively, broke play up quite well. I'd certainly have him or Dier ahead of Carrick.

It's amazing how many good fullbacks we have really.

They all decent, but they're replacing Ashley Cole who was excellent.

I thought he was good defensively albeit with very little help from Lallana and Milner, but he was slow and safe on the ball. Kinda understandable really, England debut probably makes you a bit reluctant to play the 'hopeful' balls.

Drinkwater offers a lot more when playing for Leicester than he did last night. Roy just had him sitting and recycling possession but there was a few times last night when Vardy was making excellent runs that Drinkwater would have took a punt to pick him out.

When he plays for Leicester he has Kante next to him though, who somehow can just teleport into any position he is needed.

Baines just isn't an international footballer. He's a long way off that standard.

He might improve our penalty shootout performance tho. Bearing in mind all the other options are shit as well, I'm on #TeamBaines. Set piece specialist.

 

Failing Baines, time for Colback's surprise inclusion?

Rank if true. He's going to need a good explanation for the in-form players he'll be leaving out or playing out of position.

 

Ron threatened to punch him square in the throat if he left Rooney out.

 

Rumour has it that the last guy Ron punched in the throat, his voice box is still in orbit.
