Do you approve ?

Who should not be in there ?

For my part

Obviously Saka and Cole Palmer walk back in ..

I would also include Jack Grealish , Mason Mount , TAA , Nwaneri and Ben White ..


I would omit Bowen , Dan Burn , Anthony Gordon and Reece James ( as he’s too brittle)

The Defence is quite weak but that's been an issue for quite a while with England, I can't see you winning the world cup next summer to be honest but you never know in Football

We won’t win with the dodgy players I just highlighted IMHO

Guess if Rashford has a brilliant season for my beloved Barca he may work his way back into my good books

I agree.

Tbh this team is a bit ordinary in the midfield as well imo.

And there's only a couple of strong forwards in the lineup I feel.

The talent is there it just needs the right manager … maybe it means getting the Brighton or Palace manager in to get the best out of the squad

A lot of these players are decent at club level.

But they're too bland to ever be exceptional enough to help win England major trophies.

England won't even survive the group stage at the world cup next year :joker:

I think Tuchel has lost the plot already !!

He’s apparently said that he’s selected two people for each position to put pressure on the players and show them that they are gonna have to be better than great to get in the squad ..

Then selects one of his old ex Chelsea players who isn’t in good form and hasn’t been selected for England since 2017 ( 8 years ago )

So he picks him over in -form Jack Grealish

Utter bollox

Agreed.

I did say at the time that we should've appreciated Southgate more.:whistle:

Is there anyone that would've done better with those players?

I honestly can't think of one.

That's realistic for England to get anyway.

[Zizu]

Sooooo we seem to be back on track !!



Have you got YOUR ideal England team ?

Some positions seem to be set in stone like Kane , Pickford , Rice , James at RB ( or one of back 3 ) plus Guéhi but the rest ?

I am liking the Guihi :Konsa partnership

At left back I don’t mind if it’s Spence or Livermento or Lewis-Skelly
( though Spence and Livermento can both play RB as well )


We now have two options at right wing and I would have Grealish on the left

Midfield looks like Rice with Anderson plus one other .. Eze / Bellingham / Rogers / Palmer ..

My dream front 6

.




Ivan Toney - Centre forward

Five behind him

Gibbs White , Eze , Morgan Rogers , Palmer and Bellingham !!


I can dream ..

Sooooo

That last England team / squad was missing some key players like Bellingham , Saka and Cole Palmer plus others..

Now we have to consider rehabilitating Grealish , Rashford and Foden !!


We actually have enough amazing players for two or three competitive teams !!

Sooo why call up an inexperienced left back to cover for the injured again Reece James ( right back .. )

Jees

England are always sooooo tedious .

Can’t believe Gordon is now an England regular - he’s just scored but it’s Latvia rated about 170 in the world
