UEFA Nations League & Euro 2020 Qualification

[Nando]

I'd expect Oxlade-Chamberlain, Loftus-Cheek, Alli and Hudson-Odoi all to be pushing very hard to break into that by next June.

We're short of any real depth at LB behind Chilwell. Shaw is better than Rose for me, but isn't the player we'd hoped he'd be. A shame that none of our RB's are really capable of playing on the other side, so I guess we'll have to make do.

Walker has been very good again this season, I'd have him ahead of Trippier but I'm not too hung up on that. Plenty of depth with AWB and maybe even James/Aarons coming through as well.

Rashford isn't a #9, so needs to be in the pot with Sterling/Sancho etc which is becoming very competitive. It'll probably end up as a straight fight between Abraham/Wilson to backup Kane.

Fully fit, I'd be hoping for something like the following:

Pickford, Pope, Heaton (I've been impressed with Ramsdale at Bournemouth too)

TAA, Walker, Stones, Gomez, Maguire, Tomori, Chilwell, Shaw/Rose

Rice, Henderson, Oxlade-Chamberlai, Maddison, Mount, RLC, Alli

Kane, Sterling, Sancho, Hudson-Odoi, Rashford, Wilson/Abraham

I’d hope they could find sufficient alternatives to bin t-Rex arms from the squad. He just isn’t very good.

I think James could push for the squad next summer with the right game time as he can cover both sides

James? Daniel James?

 

[Tony Towner]

James? Daniel James?

Chelsea lad. Can play right back and across the middle. Was probably the best player in the Championship at Wigan last season

Ain't gonna win fuck all with this shit defence and black hole of a central midfield.

 

[jd1981]

Shocking defending by Rice and Kean, only reason Rice gets in this side is because he’s a West Ham player.

 

[jd1981]

Henderson, Rice and Mount being outrun in midfield at the moment. Rice has been awful so far.

Zero creativity or technical ability in that midfield. I'm yet to be impressed by Mount outside the box.

 

[jd1981]

No control either ball retention has been league 2 standard, Rice looks like another Winks to me. Henderson is good at what he does but needs creativity near to him. Mount looks like a rabbit in the headlights.
Michael Keane I could think of 6 CH I’d rather have ahead of him.

 

[Tredman]

Is the Ox fully fit yet? Much better option than Rice.

 

[Sniffer]

Most interesting thing about the first half is the chant to the tune of Rotterdam.

 

[jd1981]

Spine of the side is Pickford, Keane, Maguire, Rice, Henderson, Mount and Kane. Only 1 there I’d trust to do a good job. Henderson and Rice are much of a muchness and Mount is putting in a play off final esque performance.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

Tomori for Kean is fucking obvious as an improvement, no matter what Clive and Glenn warble on about. Absolute shite they are spouting.

 

[Johnny75]

Is Maddison injured?

If not I have no idea why he isn't on for Mount.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

He is ill. Withdrew on Wednesday with Leicesterneedmeitis

 

[ndorsetwolf]

Pougach and Hoddle are a comedy double act. England improving!

Are they actually watching this game.
