Anyways ....

Nice to see John Stones finally showing his true class !!

Think he’s been back in the City team for the last 8 games ... 8 victories .

He’s also scoring goals as well !

Maybe the penny has finally dropped with him

Looking forward to see how Jack Grealish does tonight as Villa return after a Covid break .

Hopefully he’s still in form ..

Burnley’s Pope should certainly be the England keeper ... still only 1:0 but he’s saved about 6 certain goals .. amazing

I’m now thinking that I’d like Dean Smith managing England ..

Imagine England playing as nicely as Villa do ..: midfield of Grealish , Maddison, Mount , Foden and Rice

Just watching how well Grealish and now Barkley for Villa are playing these days ..


Midfield options now

Grealish
Maddison
Mount
Foden
Henderson
Rice
Winks
Barkley

I’m sure there’s others ..

I’m liking Mings more and more these days as well .. even above Maguire


Shaw seems to be above Chilwell now I’m thinking

Rice has been MIA again today .. constantly fouling ( unpunished ) and nearly snapped Henderson on half with one of his late lunges

He’ll probably go and score two now but I just don’t see what all the fuss is about

I don’t think there will be room for Bellingham but Sancho has a chance ..

Sancho will be up against

Kane
Rashford
Watkins
Bamford
Sterling
Sancho
Calvert-Lewis
Greenwood
Wilson
Ings
Abraham

Vardy has apparently agreed to return IF England are desperate.. meaning if Kane is injured going into the Euros..

I’d ditch Pickford for Pope , Henderson and Heaton but Southgate is a stubborn beggar ...

Guess we should include Harvey Barnes in either as attack midfield or winger ??

Also Leeds holding midfielder Phillips

Update Arsenal’s Saka must be going as he can play at LB , anywhere in midfield plus both wings up front ..

Southgate also likes Ward-Prowse although he does nothing for me ..

Interestingly Ward-Prowse and Danny Ings were the BOTH rather embarrassingly involved in both of Southampton’s 9:0 massacres .

I suppose Liverpool’s Henderson and West Ham’s Rice are certain to get a place as they can both play midfield AND centre-back .. sadly that’s why Southgate will also include Eric flamin’ Dier

I’m not a great fan of defending or defenders but here goes ..

I’d certainly start with Stones and maybe Mings ( a right footer with a left footer) but Southgate will go with Maguire plus Keane .


Stones
Mings
Cody
Maguire

TAA
Shaw
James
Chilwell
Trippier
Walker

Creswell ?

Ben White ?

England has a good amount of great players and their qualification stages go well, but something happens at the actual competition and they somehow fold at some point.

I do hope that England wins when they're the hosts of EC or WC in the future.

That’s so true ... I recall they had a truly amazing squad a while back ..around the time of ManU glory days ..
I’m sure someone will be able to list the players

I’ve never been totally convinced about the kid but Foden is cementing his place in the England starting eleven today !!

Amazing performance
