Crazy how there isn't a single world class player on the England team. They're a dying nation and team in decline much like Scotland 20ish years ago. Pretty soon England will be struggling to beat teams like Faroe Islands.

I think he'll try play possession football with Rooney in the team. That's fine against the minnows that England played in the qualifiers but as soon as they play Spain, Germany (not in a friendly) or France they'll struggle. I think they're better off playing counter attacking football with players in actual form. Hart Clyne - Cahill - Smalling - Rose Henderson - Dier Lallana - Alli - Vardy Kane Or swap out Vardy for Wellback or Sterling and bring him on to run at tired legs or chase the game. That for me is a team that has a lot of pace and work rate and almost everyone is in form and playing in the right position.

Jack Cork should be going as backup to Dier because he's a nice lad who tries hard and specialises in that exact job unlike international holding midfielders Jack Wilshere, Ross Barkley and Jonjo Shelvey.

Not a fan of Rose and though I love Hendo, he's out of form and Drinky deserves it. Also Lallana has to start for me

How many goals does Stones have to give away for club and country before ppl get off his, well, stones?

It's not like Cahill is going to stop anything - at least Stones can carry the ball but the difference between the two is marginal in attack and defence

I sort of get why it might be good to do tricks and take stupid risks as a young centre forward but as a CB?? And ppl say Oh he's young he'll learn but frankly I'd rather have a disciplined no nonsense CB who occasionally scores headers and is racist.

That partially why I'd prefer Bertrand over Rose as he's a bit more solid defensively I feel (might be wrong), defence clearly needs the support but Dier should help as well

Stones has showed no signs of learning so far. In 5 years we'll look back at his inclusion in the England team and laugh.

Cahill was hilariously clowned on for the Gomez goal, Stones was gash against the Dutch. Smalling can bring the ball out of defence just fine, so Smalling + whichever Big Unit is in the best form.

"Mobility" is a ridiculous term to throw around for me tbh. Noble and Drinkwater actually play a holding role in counter attacking sides. Either alongside Dier is probably the best midfield pair.
