I see everywhere that Hodgson's clueless, and I agree. So let's see who's not: post your squads for the next qualifiers.

GK: Hart, Ruddy, Forster
LB: Baines, Cole
RB: Richards, Clyne
CB: Jones, Smalling, Cahill, Lescott
CM: Gerrard, Wilshere, Carrick, Cleverly
W: O-Chamberlain, Walcott, Zaha, Young
ST: Rooney, Defoe, Sturridge
In 5 years time:
GK: Hart, Butland, Forster
RB: Richards, Clyne
LB: Gibbs, Shaw
CB: Jones, Smalling, Caulker, Dier
CM: Wilshere, Rodwell, Barkley, Cleverly
W: Ox-Chamberlain, Walcott, Ince, Zaha
ST: Sturridge, Welbeck, Wickham
Some will disagree but some i couldn't think of who else for the first team (Young) and i'm not saying the likes of Wickham and Caulker will develop but at the moment their talents.

The one position England need to improve on is a defensive midfielder, we struggle to keep possession and it will cost us in major competitions. I think the trouble is we play to the formation every other international team is playing, however we don't do it effectively. It has always been the same, trying to fit the best players into the first 11 rather than setting a formation to suit our best team. Rooney on his own up front doesnt work. Welbeck on the left is a joke as he wont beat the man, Walcott is hit and miss. In the middle Wilshere and Gerrard are quality but there is no one to hold the midfield and defend so we are often caught out. If we want to play 4-3-3 then we need to find two quality wingers and have a target man. But then Rooney is not in the team and so it goes on!
This season we need to have English players playing in their preferred positions. A central three of Carrick, Wilshere and Gerrard would be excellent as long as one stayed deeper. Zaha/Lennon/Walcott/Oxlaide-Chamberlain/Redmond need to be playing consistently in wide positions and then whoever is scoring should be in the side. Rooney in behind Lambert would work. I don't see the point in having width if we have Rooney as the target man, he needs to have someone else ahead of him.

Hart; Johnson, Jagielka, Jones, Cole; Gerrard, Carrick; Walcott, Chamberlain, Sturridge; Rooney.
Butland, Forster; Richards, Lescott, Smalling, Baines; Rodwell, Cleverley; Milner, Chamberlain; Welbeck, Carroll.
You can swap Rodwell with Wilshere, it just depends who pushes on this season, Wilshere hasn't been a regular for Arsenal and neither has Rodwell for us, and no one else seems close to them potential wise. A lot of it is dependant on how this season plays out really, Chamberlain is always good for England through the middle, depends if he gets more game time with Arsenal. The midfield past Gerrard and Carrick isn't exactly exciting, same with the strikers, especially Welbeck and Carroll, but I don't want Defoe near the England team. We need to get more younger players in though, Jones at CB is a good prospect and he needs to be playing there, not fucking right back or midfield. Hodgson has been okay so far, a little bland, but he hasn't got anything world class to work with except Gerrard or Rooney, when he's fit.

Keepers: Hart, Foster
Full Backs: Richards, Cole, Baines,
Centre Backs: Cahill, Lescott
Utility Players: Jones, Milner, Smalling, Rodwell
Holding Players: Carrick,
Central Midfield: Wilshire, Lampard
Wide Forwads: Walcott, Oxlaide Chamberlain, Sturridge, Young, Lennon, Adam Johnson
Forwards: Rooney
I think we are OK for keepers, Full Backs, Utility Players and Wide Forwards - but very weak at Centre Back, Holding Midfield, Central Midfield and up front.

Only uncertainties are the CBs, and Lampard in midfield. I think there's some younger players ready to make the step up to this level - Will Hughes, Luke Shaw, Nathaniel Clyne, Andros Townsend, Tom Carroll, Ross Barkley, Nathaniel Chalobah, Zaha, Ince possibly, and others. Of course not all of them will but I'm sure there are one or two gems in there.
