England Senior Team General Discussion Thread

The mistery around Jack's injury is a bit worrying. I've been traumatized by Wilshere though : every rumour turned out to be true, and followed after a few weeks by horrible news. Hopefully we have some good news. Would be the first time since Euro 96 that we have a player of his type on form for an international tournament.

 

I'm absolutely certain he will be back way before then

 

Any of the English fellas at Fulham in contention for a call-up? How have they been playing?

 

none of them should be in the England squad, decent Prem players at best

 

RCL must've stagnated amid his injury problems as he was pretty highly rated a couple years ago

 

Yeah but that was back when we were starting Lingard and Dele Alli in World Cup knock-out games. A lot of talent has emerged since then.

 

Rlc is a class player or was a class player. His talent is still there but injuries I'm sure must have slowed him down

 

Will Southgate pick him though ? He hasn't prioritized him so far.

 

If we can take one thing for all these injuries, Henderson won't be fit in time for the next England games. Every cloud and all that

Mount, Rice and Foden well balanced midfield?

 

well given Foden is played wide due to Man City not trusting him to play CM yet, no

 

I see what you're saying. But at the moment hes unlikey to be a starter in the front 3. Also there is not many creative midfielders about. Out of all the attacking players we have hes the one it would suit the most. Plus its get an extra attack minded player on the pitch rather than someone Dier.

 

he literally doesn't play there so how does he suit it the most over people like Maddison, JWP or a recalled Barkley or Lingard? doesn't matter anyway we'll be playing 343 with 7 defenders

 

Kyle Walker literally didn't play at centreback and Southgate played him there at the world cup. Lingard has had 2 good games for West Ham after being sh*t for a 1 and half and hes back in the England Squad? Barkleys been average since coming back from injury.Its a fair point with Maddison and JWP. But Maddison might be injuryed. So that leaves JWP.

 

This was interesting regarding the Grealish injury.

Appears that the rumours may have been started by a number of his team mates dropping him from their fantasy teams on Friday.

 

Statistically sancho is England's players second highest assist maker this season with 12. So those who are asking for him to be dropped need to have a rethink

he would the most advanced of the 3, that's his best position.

 

Lingard ??? Foden competes with KDB or Bernardo Silva, surely that must be taken into account.

 

What's happened to tariq lamptey

 

Injured

 

Quality players, but what I've seen of city recently I think Sterling been immense.
