World Cup 2018


Recommended Posts

England squad selected today, so a summer of football kick off the interests today! Regardless of my boredom with England, always love the World Cup.

 

No Hart or Wilshere. Delph, Loftus-Cheek and Alexander-Arnold seem to have made the cut - are we prepare for future tournaments by bedding in the Youth early?

 

PREDICTED SQUAD:

 

GOALKEEPERS

Jack Butland

Jordan Pickford

Nick Pope

 

DEFENDERS:

Trent Alexander-Arnold

Ryan Bertrand

Gary Cahill

Harry Maguire

Danny Rose

John Stones

Kieran Trippier

Kyle Walker

Ashley Young

 

MIDFIELDERS:

Dele Alli

Fabian Delph

Eric Dier

Jordan Henderson

Adam Lallana

Jesse Lingard

Ruben Loftus-Cheek

Raheem Sterling

 

STRIKERS:

Harry Kane

Marcus Rashford

Jamie Vardy

 

If that is indeed the team, it looks like Southgate has taken a lot of utility men who can play more than one position; Alexander-Arnold, Young, Delph, Dier, Lallana, Rashford, Lingard... looks relatively short at CB though.

Jones got in ahead of Bertrand. Probably for the best; another natural CB.

 

CB - Jones/Cahill/Stones/Maguire/Dier/Walker

RB - Alexander-Arnold/Walker/Trippier

LB - Rose/Young/Delph

 

CM - Dier/Henderson/Delph/Alli/Lingard/Loftus-Cheek/Alexander-Arnold

 

Lots of option across all positions. Should be able to cover any injuries with much difficulty.

How the hell does wellwide keep getting in the England squad? He’s an absolute donkey

 

Not a clue... there's nearly a dozen strikers who'd deserve that slot more.

Wellbeck being picked is a joke but off the top of my head I cant think who else we could we have picked in that position?

 

We look very weak at GK and CB, I expect to scrape through the group but lose as soon as we play anyone half decent.

I'd have honestly taken Carroll over Welbeck. I'd have even tried to talk Crouch out of retirement.

Awful squad really. Not because Southgate picked an awful squad mind.. just depressing that that squad represents the England team these days.

I predict exit at last 16 for us, Brazil possibly to go far, they've got real depth in their squad.

Clearly seems to be going for a 5 at the back formation anyway, 10 defenders! (Delph is definitely being brought as a full back, he hasn't played midfield consistently in years)
