England Squad - Euro 2024

So, this generational talented squad people bang about, have you seen the likely squad ?

I guess so. Watching him at Chelsea, I think he’s been poor at left back

Problem position for England. There aren’t many to choose from. Mitchell at Palace maybe? Does Delph still play?

I'd be surprised if Southgate's squad could beat an England B squad with a decent manager and a couple of weeks to prepare.

It'd probably be a hard fought 0-0 though.

If teams had to play with 10 wide forwards, we would be world class.

The rest of the squad is a bit 'meh'

I see Raheem Sterling is not going, according to the BBC!!

Our Jackie Boy had better be there and John Stones. Or the waistcoated one gets trouble..... I don't know what he trouble he gets but he gets it. ;-)

No Grealish would be good for us.

He gets a proper break and comes back with a new liver and levelled up.

Mainoo in

 

[balotelli's back pocket]

Not confirmed but dead certs:

Pickford, Walker, Stones, Maguire, Trippier, Alexander-Arnold, Rice, Gallagher, Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Palmer, Kane, Watkins

Confirmed:

D. Henderson, Trafford, Quansah, Guehi, Branthwaite, Colwill, Shaw, Wharton, Jones, Mainoo, Eze, Maddison, Bowen, Toney

28 so far.

No Chilwell, Sterling or Henderson.

If it is 30, I reckon it's Gordon and a 4th keeper (either Ramsdale or Pope). Gomez, Grealish and Rashford might sneak in if it's more than 30.

It’s decent, but not great in parts. To win, we’d have to stumble on a perfect balance that we haven’t found yet.

Bellingham is a strange player to knit into the side. He’s not a 6, he’s not really an 8 either. Madrid used him more as a false 9. England can’t do that as we have Kane, unless Southgate goes full Mike Bassett and goes 4-4-effing-2.
