Consider how many of them you'd actually want playing for your own team. Not that many I reckon. Or consider that if Mane was English he would be getting more hype than any of the English youngsters, yet he fails to make their squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We've been through this before about Kane and Alli; not a huge fan of either, particularly Alli. I'm more than happy with Jesus and Aguero as a strikers. Who would Alli replace in City's squad - exactly! Stated i would like Pope as he would improve us; we could use him as back-up goalie to Ederson instead as Bravo.

Mind you, his reaction to the news was first rate....rather than bitch about it he simply said he would get his head down and work harder. That wasn't the only controversial omission from the German squad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kane, alli, sterling, wellbeck (in an England shirt) vardy and lingard and my pick of the bunch for this tournament is rashford. I reckon the lad is gonna explode on the WC. A lot of lads there with goals in them and most are so young. Exciting team. We are wasteful in front of goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I imagine there would be quite a few, perhaps not Man City, or Real Madrid, but these sides take the absolute best. Even so 3 of the players actually do play for Man City.

Yes, it's also more about squad than starting 11 these days- hopefully, it won't be either/or. Best not to carried away, but England are a different entity from the rather sorry band that went to Brazil. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carmine Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 Predictably the English press has started already......we just beat the mighty Costa Rica and yes, here it comes...."should we be starting to get excited!!" I think it was that sooner imbecile John Cross but not sure. And by presumably by the beginning on july the entire squad and manager will get a right royal slagging off! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kadilo Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 (edited) Some good performances last night from the “possibles” hard to not start Rashford after that performance Rose look comfortable at left back and must be knocking on the door for a start. Arnold is an old head on young shoulders and adds something at set pieces Henderson had a good game Vardy didn’t do enough to warrant a place Jones confirmed he is a donkey and was lucky to get in the squad. Some great interchanges broken up by him going backwards and getting caught in possession interesting choices for Southgate to ponder.

balo Posted June 8, 2018 Share Posted June 8, 2018 I am neutral here but I think you should start with Rashford in every group stage game, he seem to be ready and not afraid of the ball , unlike Sterling. Sterling will probably do something silly . So Rashford and Kane for me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both very good players in other respects, but to be a striker you have to finish. Welbeck does score! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not just a matter of playing someone who scores the most playing alongside Kane, it's someone who fits in the system of play and can play around Kane, at the moment the two who do that are Sterling and Rashford, i prefer Rashford plus he is more clinical than Sterling, incidently his scoring ratio of goals per games for England is twice that of Sterling !

For me, I would prefer Wellbeck there as he is quite capable of fitting in, scores goals for England, and runs tirelessly and to good effect.. I would prefer to play Sterling as an attacking midfielder. Rashford merits a place as impact sub imo. One very good aspect of this team is the versatility of a number of players. I guess everyone has their own preference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bredbury Blue Posted June 9, 2018 Share Posted June 9, 2018 If you're going to play Sterling in his best position it has to be wide right. Don't play Sterling if it's just goals you want from him as he's not a natural goalscorer, he will though chip in with goals. Play him right and he's a bugger for right backs to play against , and will create chances. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
