What are the arguments for them then?

(not saying that's necessarily important, just an observation)

Pleased for Rashford.

That midfield is shite.

The stars got us nowhere. The Beckham, Lampard, Gerrard era was a spectacular failure.

I like the look of the squad. A group of young players who will follow orders and be excited to be there.

It's very weak in the middle of defence and they really should have integrated Carrick but I think they'll surprise a few.

I look around the other squads and nobody is that great. France have some tremendous talent and Spain will be strong but it's a winnable tournament if we get the run of the green.

You have to say it's a job for the boys squad

What the £#%&! is Delph doing in it
He's shite and has had a shit season
Picked because of loyalty

Wilshere in after playing about 2 games of football all season

Piss easy group will help.

Dier can play there, and Bertrand has been playing there this season.

Spain / Germany must be shitting themselves.

If fatty gets an immediate start I will be gobsmacked

as I said, it was an observation rather than a criticism.
There are names in that Squad that I recognise but I can't place the face.
Literally no idea.

England have got a chance this summer because Football across the board is aots
No particularly decent sides knocking about.

Reckon his starting team will be


Forster

Rose
Smalling
Cahill
Walker

Wilshere
Dier

Rooney
Alli
Lallana

Kane

Of the 26 I'd expect Delph, Townsend/Sterling (probably Townsend) and Rashford to be dropped. It's right to include Rash in the preparations but no way should be be in a full tournament right now.

Rashford will go for certain won't he? He's one of five strikers which is the normal amount we take isn't it? Hope so, it's great for he young lad.

Woy loves a bit of 4-1-4-1 or 4-3-3, five is a waste

Nothing surer

The question is where will Woy play him
Have a feeling he will make the same mistake he made at the WC and play him wide

Zero pace in that attack which is what that performance against Germany was based on

Not referring to me arguing for players who could have been included, but others will argue for them. Can't really see any others who are any better than what he's picked TBH.

arsed

that game changed with Vardy coming on off the bench, can see Townsend/Sterling/Vardy as subs in most of the games.

Hart

Walker - Cahill - Smalling - Rose

Vardy - Rooney - Milner - Sterling

Alli

Kane

The sort of £#%&!witted country that idolises the Woy of the Wovers types

I could get on board with that.

Obviously, Hodgson being Hodgson, he won't have anything as sensible as that will try and shoe horn water carriers in like Milner and Delph.
