I think Ademole Lookman at Everton will make the squad, he's 20, was decent at RB Leipzig on loan and he's now under Marco Silva. I think this is his season

Foden won the golden ball at the U17 World Cup for best player and has been described as the best player he's seen at that age by some bloke called Guardiola...

Never heard of him, is he a Star Wars character?
We have a number of great youth players we could have taken but we didnt. Lets hope we ship out the dead wood soon for the guys coming through.

I think Southgate will conclude our formation doesn't allow us to create enough chances from open play, so I expect him to want to get at least one more "passer" in there - so I actually can see us reverting back to 4 at the back in something like the Man City or spurs formation - which would make sense given a large number of our players play for them. And the Sterling bashing should just stop - he was our best player in the first 45 mins on Weds (I was at the game and you see much better how he stretches defences) - yes he needs to work on his composure and ball striking but Pep will sort that out.

Let’s see how wrong I am come these 2 tournaments, whenever you do these you’re at least 50% wrong as some unknowns suddenly become good and some players suddenly become average... I would have thought in 2006 that Walcott would be a main player come 2016/18
You just never know.. Rooney 2004 was like Mbappe in 2018... Mbappe could be like Welbeck come 2026... couple of bad injury’s, this is why the World Cup really is a here and now tournament for me and very hard to plan for the next one. How rubbish were Germany this time? It wasn’t all down to not picking Sané...

Well Pep should be transitioning him into the team to replace the ageing David Silva then?

The most curious thing..
Cue massive over-hype and over-expectations, promptly followed a huge reality check as we get dumped out in the first round/group stage by the world power that is Liechtenstein.
Probably on penalties.
You heard it here first.

2 years isnt going to see much change, especially when its done so well this time. it wouldnt be a surprise to see the same starting line up in the next tournement as this, other than injury or a significant rise of a player.

Isn't that exactly what he's doing? Played enough games, albeit as sub, to get a premier league winners' medal last year at 17/18.

Yes it’s a question that should REALLY be answered this year... let’s see what happens. I cannot work out where Mahrez fits though? Sane, Mahrez, Sterling, Bernardo Silva presumably wingers? With David Silva, De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Gundogen, Delph, Foden battling for 3 midfield positions? Or will Mahrez play more centrally...
Henderson is superior to Dier due to his mobility, stamina and drive (hence why Southgate always opted for JH). But I wouldn't have minded and would be pleased to see in the future, Henderson and Dier together shielding the back 4, with one given more licence to go forward at times. Giving one less out and out creative player, but we'd gain in stopping creative/superior midfields.

Kane isn't a world class striker, Shearer was the last one England had IMO.

Leon Bailey could well be in the squad.

Sorry, you're saying that Harry Kane, who:
* just won the World Cup Golden Boot (by 2 clear goals),
* was 2nd highest scorer in the Premier League 2017/18,
* was top scorer in the Premier League 2016/17,
* was top scorer in the Premier League 2015/16, and
* was 2nd highest scorer in the Premier League 2014/15,
is not a world class striker...?

Alli is not good enough in that system.
It’s a shame Ross Barkley didn’t go to a lower placed side.
I’ll have a guess with:
3-5-1-1
Pickford
Trippier
Walker
Stones
Maguire
Sessegnon
Henderson
Wilshere
Foden
Kane
Sterling
Bench
Sancho could get in if played different system. Hopefully can convince the Bayer Leverkusen fella if he’s eligible, southgate admitted to sending people to watch him so surely must be.
