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


Recommended Posts

Getting to the stage where the shelf life for a full-back, winger, AM for England might end up at 26-27 with the depth and quality coming through. Wouldn’t have been able to imagine Sterling’s place being under threat for instance a year ago but it’ll be a close call for him being a starter.

Sterling over Grealish/Rashford for me. Maybe the next World Cup will be different but his stats still compare alongside the rest even this season.

Sterling or Rashford if he’s injured. Need the speed if Kane and Foden are the other two.

I’d take Kane plus a backup. Rashford could play there if need be and even Sterling in an emergency.

I'm with you 2 strikers and 10 midfielders

Just realised I’ve missed Bellingham off :lol: FFS.

Think that’s why I’d go with Kane, Calvert-Lewin and use Rashford in an emergency. Frees up a space for someone like Bellingham or Ward-Prowse to add a bit more quality to CM. We’d have to be desperately unlucky to be without all 3 of them at any one point.

I would now aye, that’s why I needed a picker to check. My squad presuming all fit would be...

Pope, Pickford, Henderson (3 GK)

James, Trippier, Chilwell, Shaw (4.5 FB/WB)

Maguire, Stones, Walker, Keane (3.5 CB)

Henderson, Rice, Phillips, Bellingham (4 CM)

Sterling, Foden, Mount, Saka, Grealish (5AM)

Kane, DCL, Rashford (3 CF)

 

Three in italics won’t go.

Put in our 2004 defence and 1998 CMs and that’d be unreal. Think our AM options and main CF is as good as I’ve ever seen it. Pickford gets stick but I think he’s okay for this England squad where he won’t face much until the last 8 and distribution is key.

 

Pickford

Neville

Cole

Ferdinand

Terry

Ince

Batty

Sterling

Mount

Foden

Kane

My changes in bold. And yeah, that extra striker is hard to justify when it's all laid out.

In reality I think Trippier and Lingard will be picked for TAA and Grealish and possibly another CB for Sancho.
