Let's see if we can correctly pick Gareth Southgate's World Cup squad.
Over the next 9 months we can discuss who should be in and who shouldn't. Obviously things can change in that time. Injuries and player form can change things. If anyone would like to list all the contenders and outside chances in each position, that would be helpful and appreciated |

Goalkeepers
Jordan Pickford Aaron Ramsdale Nick Pope Dean Henderson Sam Johnstone I imagine 3 of these will go. 3 is the usual amount of goalkeepers teams take to tournaments. If you think any other goalkeepers should be on that shortlist then let us know. Last edited by Alf; 21-02-2022 at 08:14 AM. |

Right back
A competitive short list for this position. Usually you'd just likely take two players for this position but because some of them offer versatility and can play in other positions, how many of these should go to the World Cup? Kyle Walker (possible centre back) Trent Alexander-Arnold (possible Midfield) Reece James Kieran Trippier (possible left back) Tino Livramento Last edited by Alf; 21-02-2022 at 10:46 AM. |

Left Back
Luke Shaw Ben Chilwell Aaron Cresswell Bukayo Saka (can play many positions) Tyrick Mitchell Kieran Trippier is also an option here and depending on fitness Fabian Delph is also an option that brings experience and leadership. Last edited by Alf; 21-02-2022 at 11:03 AM. |

in form players, yet you select Jarrod Bowen, one currently terribly out of form at West Ham

I understand why they have the nations league, it is at least competitive games that mean something rather than simply friendlies, but it all has just become too much, with too many games and it is affecting the domestic season which is the games bread and butter

Some sobering stats whilst we recover from the recent maulings
Just heard some stats about Brazil Only 1 defeat in years and that was against Argentina who are on something like a 45 match unbeaten run .. Since that one defeat Brazil haven’t lost since .. scoring 43 whilst conceding just 5 goals ! They played Tunisia recently .. Tunisia hadn’t conceded a goal in the previous 7 games but were 4 goals down by halftime .. Brasil eased off in the second half and won 5:1 . Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

England are some team if they can’t find a starting place for Grealish , Foden , Maddison or TAA ..
The other explanation of course is that Southgate is a complete imbecile Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

what i've seen from Branthwaite here at PSV, he's a great defender, good header qualities too at corners, free kicks
George Cox, yes controversial name, but i know him pretty well here at Fortuna, and he has proven himself here as a solid left back and consistent starting 11 player, could've made a transfer this summer, but he chose to stay after Flemming already had left Tom Heaton, controversial yes, but he has some experience and would still make a decent 3rd GK option, i mean look at Pasveer here now for us, 39 yrs old, ex Heracles, PSV, Vitesse now Ajax, and late blossomer as of now into national team as well
