Players I think are defo in (baring injury's)

Joe Hart

Chris Smalling
Gary Cahill
John Stones

Dele Alli
Ross Barkley

Wayne Rooney
Jamie Vardy
Harry Kane

Still undecided on other places, but there's still two months football to play, and I'll fill my squad at the end of the season.

I will say I was close to putting Dier, Welbeck and Lallana in as defo's.

I'm still undecided with full-backs, and whether to choose Milner or Henderson or both.

How Lallana or Henderson are playing at the minute is beyond me.

So this is my squad

Goalkeepers
Joe Hart
Fraser Forster
Ben Foster

Right Backs
Nathanial Clyne
Kyle Walker

Left Backs
Danny Rose
Luke Shaw? (He's back in training for Manchester United, If he doesn't make it, I'd choose Ryan Bertrand)

Centre Backs
Chris Smalling
Gary Cahill
John Stones
Phil Jagielka (Would have chosen Phil Jones if he was fit)

Defensive Midfielders
James Milner
Jack Wilshire (A gamble, but sometimes you have to take a gamble, particularly with one of our best players)
Eric Dier
Jordan Henderson? (If he fails to make it, then I'd go for Danny Drinkwater)

Attacking Midfielders
Dele Alli
Ross Barkley
Raheem Sterling
Adam Lallana

Strikers
Wayne Rooney
Harry Kane
Jamie Vardy
Daniel Sturridge (Would have picked Danny Welbeck)


I'm assuming the likes of Phil Jones, Theo Walcott and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, are along with Danny Welbeck, unavailable.

I think Michael Carrick will also be in contention, but for me I think we have better. And Andy Carroll could have an outside chance, I think he brings something different than the normal, and has the ability to make an impact when coming off the bench, but the fact he hasn't been involved in Roy's squads, tells me he probably won't be picked.

Marcus Rashford would be a real wild card, but I think it's too early for him, but I can see him coming in after the Euro's in the run up to the World cup.

Think Roy should seriously consider Michail Antonio. The guy is a monster, gives 100% every game and has produced the goods time and time again this season

26 man squad for the friendlies, 3 will be dropped for the Euros. My guess would be Delph & Rashford getting cut, hard to predict a 3rd

Wilshere would carry that England squad on his back even if he had 1 leg. Good to see England's best player in the squad

Only 3 centre backs chosen, don't know the reason Jagielka has been left out, maybe injury? maybe just lack of form?

But Dier would become a back up centre back should we fall short in that area.

Roy does like his Townsend doesn't he?

For me there seems to be a little imbalance to the squad, he's gone very light on defenders, and heavy on midfielders.

Delph must be there as back up, if Wilshire fails to prove his fitness.

If Hart gets injured, we're in trouble, no offence to Heaton, but I'd have preferred to go with the experience of Foster to give competition to Forster if that problem did arise.


Come on England!

Delph and Rashfords inclusions kind of make sense.. that is if both are cut from the final 23. Roy clearly isn't a fan of Noble, it's much easier for him to call up Delph and cut him from the final 23 than it would be to pick Noble just to have a look at him only to drop him and be on the end of a huge backlash from media and west ham fans. As for Rashford the experience training with the senior squad could do him some good, as good as Defoe has been he was never going to pick him.

I suppose some would moan about the lack of Carroll as well but tbf I can't see that many European defenses being weak enough to just let a giant's heading ability tear them apart

He'll always have 1 or 2 of Rooney, Sturridge, Kane or Vardy on the bench to bring on. Even if anyone else was included in the 23 i couldn't see them getting any game time anyway
