Has told Joe Hart he's staying home for the World Cup.
Good. Part of the old guard that have made England unlikeable in previous tournaments. Experience means nothing going by past results. |  |

Would have been a kick in the balls to Pope to be sacrificed for Hart. The fact that it was up for debate in recent months I thought was pretty insulting to the Burnley keeper. | |

Hardly surprising - I think the deciding point was Pickford letting in at least 2 sitters against Newcastle, proving you don't need years of international experience to be as flappy and flaky as Hart...

Problem he has is none of the other goalkeepers are really in good form, though I do rate all three of them.
I don't think we'll do any good, but I do like the way Southgate goes about his business. The jake Livermore obsession apart. |  | | |

if Jack Wilshire and Shelvey wasn't a couple of unfit ill-disciplined herberts who got on with playing the game then we wouldn't have a need for Jake Livermore |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Shelvey not booked in 2018 and on top form I really hope Southgate has the balls to put him in ... Good start today. | | | |

Looked everywhere about this story and the only thing I can find is a rumour in the Sun.
So we don't actually know what the squad will be.
I've also read that Fabian Delph reckons he's a shoe in?? If he is we're f@cked. | | | |

The other teams might as well not bother, it's as good as coming home. In fact, I'd be surprised if Paddy Power aren't already paying on an England WIn!
Easeeeee money.... |  |

I cant stand southgate... his insistence on the 352 is even more maddening than ollies
England probably only has 2 really world class players- kane and walker... centreback is also one of englands biggest vulnerabilities with stones, cahill (whose in bad form and was benched for ages), Maguire (whose quality but has very few caps to his name) and tarkowski/Gomez (ill leave it at that)....
southgates solution to this is to double down at centreback by playing a 3-5-2? and with playing walker, who is probably one of the five best right wingbacks in the world, out of position as a right sided centreback.... so that he can accommodate MFing Kieran trippier?
what a joke | | | |

It'll be all fun and games and optimism until Tunisia stick 11 men behind the ball against us and grind out a 0-0 draw. There we go, getting my England related pessimism out of the way early this year. |  |

That's why I'd take an Austin. There are players who can win you games against Tunisia or anyone with 11 behind the ball and players who can give you a chance against a Spain. He's the former. |  | | |

Been watching Eng in World Cups since 1970.
Ramsey's decision to sub Charlton and Peters in the QF cost us the game and a very likely final appearance. We were 2-0 up after 50mins and cruising. The only other time I enjoyed Eng was in 1990 and Robson actually stumbled on his best eleven at that tournament. I am pretty sure had we won the penalty shootout, we would have beaten Argentina.
Other than that, I do not watch Eng anymore - they always let you down and they will in Russia. |  | | |

Pickford been superb for Everton according to their fans, comfortably won their POTY award and not just by default. He's a certain starter.
Butland been patchy but also in a fckin woeful team, Pope been great but it's hard to know how good a Burnley keeper is when he has 10 players in front of him all defending at all times and keeping their shape because their lives literally depend on it.
I would go for something along these lines as a mixture of what I think the squad will be and what I would pick.
Keepers: Pickford, Butland, Pope
Defenders: Walker, Trippier, Bertrand, Young, Cahill, Stones, Maguire, Lascelles
Midfielders: Dier, Cork, Lewis Cook, Shelvey, Henderson, Lallana, Lingard, Alli
Forwards: Sterling, Rashford, Vardy, Kane |  |

I like Southgate and think he's done well at phasing out the mediocre old guard - Hart, Cahill etc.
5-2-2-1 allows us to play two of Sterling, Alli and Lingard in their preferred positions (Sterling has been great as a no.10 for City this year) and protects our, generally rubbish, CBs imo.
Dodgy game on Sunday but Pickford has been great this season and is comfortably the best footballer of those keepers - better passer than most of our central midfielders.
My squad would be:
Keepers: Pickford, Butland, Pope - in that order of selection
CBs: Stones, Maguire, Tarkowski, Jones, Walker
RWBs: Trippier, Alexander-Arnold
LWBs: Rose, Bertrand
CMs: Dier, Henderson, Shelvey, Wilshere
AMs: Sterling, Lingard, Alli, Loftus-Cheek
STs: Kane, Vardy, Rashford
Really don't like our central midfield options although I'm hesitantly coming round to the idea of Shelvey. It's a real shame about Ox-Chamberlain just as he was in some excellent form. I'd really love to see Milner coaxed out of retirement if possible | | | |

"Ramsey's decision to sub Charlton and Peters in the QF cost us the game and a very likely final appearance. "
Maybe in hindsight but at the time it probably wasn't seen like that. Colin Bell was seen at the time as Bobby Charlton's heir apparent and Hunter for Peters should have shored up the midfield with a more defensive player. If anything Ramsey should have subbed Terry Cooper who come the end of 90 minutes was out on his feet with the running he'd done. It was from Cooper's side that the cross came for Muller's winner with Grabowski roasting him in extra time as he was fresh having come on as a sub himself. |  |

I'd play a 4-2-3-1 and take the following:
GK: Pickford / Butland / Pope
RB: Walker / Trippier
CB: Stones / Tarkowski
CB: Maguire / Mawson
LB: Bertrand / Rose
CM: Dier / Henderson
CM: Shelvey / Cook
RM: Sterling / Lookman
AM: Alli / Loftus-Cheek
LM: Lingard / Rashford
CF: Kane / Vardy |  |

The last thing England should do is take Sessegnon, i don't care how good he might be he's never played a competitive game for England, never played at the top level or iN Europe, we can't have another major tournament where a player makes his competitive debut on the biggest stage. We did it with Sterling, Rashford, Oxlaide Chamberlain and each time despite some bright performances they were not ready and it didn't help them.
Leave the kid at home and play him in the euro league thing in September |  | | |

It's far from a joke. England have no decent wingers and 4 very good full backs who are more wing backs. The centre backs as a four would be cut to pieces against a good side but with an extra man in the middle have that but of protection and ability ti play out from the back and move into midfield. It's the right system to play with the players England have, Southgate the first England manager in years to find a system to suit the players rather than try and cram everyone in out of position. | | | |

I would take Grealish who can play midfield I think he has been brilliant the last 20 games for villa my wildcard would be sancho at Dortmund , this kid will be a star both he and grealish have the confidence to make the step up | |

I guess Lookman would be considered my wildcard, although he's been in good form so could get called he's been under the radar so far. Lascelles at CB is a good shout too. | |

No Danny Drinkwater? ;)
Grealish is ok. Nowhere near the required standard yet. Better than Livermore though! | |
