Surely Jones has to be first choice centre half on current form - he's the only proper defender we have!Edmondson wrote: ↑07 Oct 2017, 23:02 England could just about scrape a passable XI together if everyone was fit this summer.
How likely is that? Would Southgate make the right picks? Not sure. Also needs loads of work of getting the right shape to the side, not sure he's the man for this either.
Would like to see:
-----------------Butland---------------
Walker----Stones----Cahill-----Rose
-------------------Dier------------------
---------Henderson---Lallana---------
-------------------Alli-------------------
------------Kane-------Rashford--------
Keeper: Hart needs kicking out the squad, very strange bloke, awful keeper that thinks he's great, you don't want that sort of thing in your squad.
Full Backs: Have to be our width, can't trust any of those jokers like Sterling playing out there. Sit Dier in front of centre backs as he often does for Spurs.
Centre Back: Need an in form Stones. Alongside would be good to see someone come through like Maguire or Dunk, but have stuck with Cahill for now.
Central Midfield: With Dier holding, Henderson can provide the legs, Lallana the craft. Play Delli at the top of the diamond.
Strikers: Kane is obviously our best player and Rashford provides the pace and X factor, let him loose down the middle but can drift out when full backs haven't bombed on.
Really struggling beyond these players, especially in midfield and up front.
And on the basis of form Hart wouldn't have a place in the squad - Butland, Pickford and Heaton to go for me.
The lack of true quality in that midfield is a worry, which makes me think we are better off with three at the back, the solid but uninspiring mids and using the pace down the lines. That probably means Lallana misses out unless Alli or Rashford get injured...
