Surprised at the lack of Lingard in those teams. I think he adds a lot to our attack.

 

I'd go -

 

                  Pickford

        Walker Stones Maguire

    A-Arnold Lingard Dier Alli Rose

              Rashford Kane

 

Not much to choose between Pickford and Butland, but Pickford's long clearances are exceptional.

 

Dier makes it ahead of Henderson, for his ability in the air at set pieces, where I think a lot of our chances will come.

 

The Sterling - Rashford debate is a lot closer than is being said at the moment, but in the first two games we'll be up against teams playing defensively, and Sterling's pace won't be so much of an asset if there's not going to be much space behind the opposition's defence, and we're not getting many opportunities on the counter attack.

I reckon Sterling has probably had some experience playing against teams who are parking the bus like. Unless his 18 goals and 11 assists only came against teams that we're going gung-ho against Man City.

A decent point, but Man City are usually miles better than whatever opposition they're facing, and also better than England.

 

As I said, I think it's a fairly close call. Rashford is quite a talent, but at the moment, he can be a bit selfish and doesn't always release the ball when he should. I'd actually rather we had another option.

He was a bit of a div in that game, if he has a tussle in the WC like the one he had with Gayle he's guaranteed to get sent off by a ref outside of England. He's got a fucking massive heed as well, looks like a Thwomp.

Wow, judging a player on 1 incident.  How thoughtful.

 

Back off Nees [emoji38] If he's such a brilliant ball playing defender, why does 95% of this forum want Jamaal in the 23 instead of him.

Because we're Newcastle fans? [emoji38]
