I ran this starting eleven by the scouser I sit next to at work and he had no disagreement;

-------------Pickford-------------
-----Walker Cahill Stones------
Trippier Dier Henderson Rose
-----Alli------------ Sterling-----
-------------Kane-----------------

-------------Pickford-------------
-----Walker Stones Maguire------
Trippier ———-Dier ————Rose
--Rashford —-Alli---Sterling—
-------------Kane-----------------

For the first 2 games, then we’d prob have to introduce Henderson alongside Dier for the Belgium game. Don’t see that we need Cahill’s “experience” there for the first 2, but he might be useful in a more backs to the wall performance against the better teams.

 

[Gutter Boy]

-------------------Butland
---Walker-------Stones-------Maguire
Trippier-----------Dier-------------Rose
----Rashford-------Alli------Lingard
-------------------Kane

for the first two games, then RLC in for Lingard for the tougher ones (with a switch to 3-4-2-1)

 

[P.D.]

What has Lingard done to start? He's been awful in the second half of the season.

With Lallana not in the squad, there's no other AM who can pass

I would have Maquire instead of Cahill but apart from that its not a bad team.

Should have taken Shelvey, at least he can pick a pass.

We don't need 2 holding midfielders against Tunisia or Panama, possible against Belgium.

I think some fans get to caught up in handles and what they mean, both of those players can play forward balls. Without the likes of Shelvey, Wheelchair etc we do not have many players who can play killer balls. I have seen Dier and Henderson do so on occasion.

Sancho would have been better

Sancho would have been better

Just turned 18 and only a hand full of first class games.

 

[DeleHarry]

I would have taken Foden from City. The kid is ridiculously talented for his age and would have been fantastic to bring on from the bench in a tight game to break the deadlock.

Technically gifted, creative and quite mature in how he reads the game.

I think the young kid who plays for Spurs can pass a bit and is probably the only one who knows or cares where Kane will be.

Didn't stop Walcott. Not that he made an impact...

Occasionally is the key, we don't need 2 players who naturally sit deep against an opponent who I expect will sit back most of the game. Why not have someone more attacking on the pitch instead?

But in a percentages game he loses as much as he creates with his passing

We don’t play until Monday, why are the BBC and ITV obsessed with inserting the MNT into every broadcast, there’s 32 teams here, I don’t want to hear anything about England until the end of the Sunday broadcasts at the earliest. Right now it’s Portugal - Spain, give me some Iberian background, not Raheem Sterling’s latest musings.

That's the curse of living in any country that's taking part.

Maybe, but we lack creativity in M/F and there are not many about who can play the killer ball as well as he does. Do not get me wrong as i am not saying he is a great player but as i say apart from him and Wheelchair i do not see any one better.

Very true but that was the W/C i started to lose interest in England, not only did we have the circus but Sven took four forwards two who were carrying injurys and a snot nose kid of 16. Madness

Strap yourself in. Tonight was only the preliminary warm up.
