England Squad

I don't think we have the players to go anywhere past the quarters , so if I was Southgate I would think that the key was putting up an exciting, pacy and youthful effort to provide a template for the future. I would use the Liverpool 433 set up.

 

Butland

 

Walker

Stones

Maguire

Bertrand

 

Loftus-Cheek

Henderson

Alli

 

Sterling

Kane

Have to play to our strengths, we have a great batch of exciting young kids, and the squad needs to full of them. There's no expectation, let them go and get some experience at a World Cup.

That's the best i've got. I'm thinking the fullbacks and wingers can double up to cause the opposition problems with their pace. An experienced, workmanlike midfield so they can press high up the pitch. One ball playing defender and one that's good in the air to handle the press, but also any physical threat. Pelvis head up front to claim every goal. And most importantly, no kids.

 

*I know Milner's retired from International football, but he should be captain of England*

Have Liverpool qualified for the World Cup too? Jurgen is an absolute revelation and far better than I'd even given him credit for.

With low expectations, no fans or nobhead journos the team is not bad.

In a Denmark/Greece Euros sense of not bad.

They could do OK with a team attitude and togetherness. Bit of pace, long ball counter attacking. Bit of Leicester about them.

My biggest stake on them winning it would be no more than 50p

VI , you do understand that if you were born & lived in Liverpool your whole life like myself that makes you English ?

No,it makes me a Liverpudlian or scouser which involves a heritage of Irish/Scots/Welsh etc.This also seems to make us very different from a large population of the country in that we seem to view things very differently from them. The only time I use 'We' and 'Our' relating to football is towards Liverpool FC. I also refer to myself as British,not English.

That is totally up to you VI , and as a 58 year old , left wing scouser I appreciate where you are coming from , but while not even caring about England 10% as much as I do Liverpool  I am surely allowed to support the only football country I was born in ?

You don't need to justify anything.

The pressure on English players is absurd. Getting out of the group should be seen as a good achievement for the talent level of the players. What they earn and their transfer fees have no bearing on how well they play as a team.
