It's gonna be 5 at the back isn't it. Ffs.

[goody2028]

4 right backs. Remarkable. 

[Number 6]

This infatuation Southgate and Rodgers have with it can't end soon enough.

At least our reasoning was injuries, we have no excuse at England other than an unimaginative manager 

[Guest Lcfc82]

Looks like he doesn’t want to upset any of the right backs so he’s took all of them. 
We look a bit light in Midfield, I’d of probably taken ward-prowse over one of the right backs.

[Wasyls Pec Deck]

A quota of full backs and particularly right backs that the Rob Kelly - Ian Holloway era would be proud of 

[theessexfox]

I don’t mind it tbh, if we do play 3 at the back then we have Walker/James for RCB and Trippier/TAA/James for RWB. Maybe over-the-top but they all offer something different, I’d be more interested in swapping Saka out for JWP or Lingard

I'd agree Here, seems like he doesn't want to upset any of them so has taken all and left us light for a genuine box to box midfielder

We are ****ed if Maguire isn't fully fit and that isn't something I thought I'd find myself saying.

[fox_up_north]

Didn't want a midfield anyway

[Super_horns]

A  very multi functional squad with lots of players who can fill a number of positions.

 

But weather we get the right combination is another matter!

Hmm could do with a bit more cover at full back.

If Henderson isn't fit also we've got 2 players there for no reason at all

[Jaspa]

Just give Bellingham opportunities please, desperately need creatively in the middle and he's looked world class.

 

Think it'll be:

Pickford

James Stones Maguire Chilwell

Rice Henderson

Bellingham

Foden                         Sterling

Kane

 

Would prefer to see Sterling dropped, Sancho probably gets in over Foden and Bellingham starting is very optimistic.

 

[Tielemans63]

I know it's trendy to knock every England selection but that really is a weak midfield. 

[RowlattsFox]

Bit of a cop out with the right backs but good to have options. Nothing new regarding centre backs but it's risky with Maguire having the injury. Henderson will either be really fresh or won't play a minute. Having 26 helps.

 

Harsh on Lingard maybe but I'd rather the talented youngsters go to make up the numbers. No point Watkins wasting his time going, he wouldn't get on the pitch.

Would prefer Sancho for Sterling, swapping the wings over. Henderson for Mount, letting Bellingham be a box to box. 

[StanSP]

Maguire, Henderson, Mings.

 

Either injured, not fully fit, or injury prone.

 

It's a bit weak in those areas - CB/CM.

 

Attack is strong. FB/WB is quite strong in quality/depth.

 

Coady and Stones doesn't fill me with much confidence.

Should be Grealish and Foden wide. No contest.

Mount is first name on the team sheet after Kane

You’d probably want a bit more pace on one of the wings, especially against a team like Croatia where we may be hitting them on the break more. Foden and Sancho / Rashford is best for me

[Dan]

Incredibly, he's playing Lingard in tomorrows friendly despite him not making the squad.

 

I can't even explain it. What is the rationale behind that?
