Yes please! Such a good side and very well balanced. Some really exciting talent coming through, don't trust Southgate with it at all

Lingaard should be going ahead of Sancho or Sterling,and Ings or Bamford ahead of Rashford.

There's no way that Sancho shouldn't be going.

Bamford should definitely have been picked over Rashford.

This is a pretty lazy narrative to spin on it.

Trippier can play right back or left back. James and Walker can both play as a right sided CB. Trent can play as a right sided midfielder.

There is no justification for those 4 players all to be in a 26 man squad when he's only taking two natural strikers and 5 midfielders (one not having any match fitness).

Trippier can play right back or left back -then why take 5 other full backs?
James and Walker can both play as a right sided CB - he's also picked 4 centre backs
Trent can play as a right sided midfielder - How many wingers do we need?!

There's no way that Sancho shouldn't be going.

I don't rate him that highly,very inconsistent,and he has been largely anonymous in previous Internationals.

That side would excite,as well as dominate.It would rekindle plenty of missing interest.

I'm not even sure Southgate could fuck it up.

Great side that but I think Chilwell gets the nod over Shaw on recent form, been very impressed with him lately.

Shaw has been outstanding,definitely the best left back in our league andnot just Englands.Chilwell is a good player,but he doesnt quite have Shaws consistency or quality.

This is a pretty lazy narrative to spin on it.

Trippier can play right back or left back. James and Walker can both play as a right sided CB. Trent can play as a right sided midfielder.

Why not drop two of them and name another centre back and a right sided midfielder?

How has Sancho been inconsistent? Lingard has had a good few months after he had about 2 years of doing nothing. If Southgate picked Lingard this place would have been in full meltdown.

Playing right sided CB in a 5 is different from playing as a CB in a 2.

Again there's a difference between playing as a right winger/wing back in a back 5 than playing as a winger in a front 3.

So it's likely that Southgate plays as a back 5 and 2 of the right backs are both playing.

I don't disagree with you on strikers, I would have taken Bamford, I also would have taken Ward-Prowse over Henderson because as you have rightly said, Henderson has been injured for half of a season.
