If I could I would pick the following team, how about you NSC?

Note, that I've put Young in ahead of Rose as he's been out injured most of the season.


........................ Butland ......................

Walker ..... Jones .... Stones .... Young

................. Winks ..... Dier ..................

Sterling .............. Alli ............ Rashford

......................... Kane .........................

Squad:

Goalkeepers: Jack Butland (Stoke City), Joe Hart (West Ham - loan from Manchester City), Jordan Pickford (Everton)

Defenders: Ryan Bertrand (Southampton), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Manchester United), Harry Maguire (Leicester), Danny Rose (Tottenham), John Stones (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Tottenham), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)

Midfielders: Dele Alli (Tottenham), Fabian Delph (Manchester City), Eric Dier (Tottenham), Jordan Henderson (Liverpool), Jesse Lingard (Manchester United), Ruben Loftus-Cheek (Crystal Palace - loan from Chelsea), Raheem Sterling (Manchester City), Harry Winks (Tottenham), Ashley Young (Manchester United)

Forwards: Tammy Abraham (Swansea - loan from Chelsea), Harry Kane (Tottenham), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Jamie Vardy (Leicester)

With so many players withdrawing from the squad it's fairly tough to pick a good team, I'd probably go with this now...

Not particularly inspiring!



...................... Pickford .....................

Walker ..... Jones .... Stones .... Rose

................. Dier .... Cork ...................

Rashford .... Loftus-Cheek .... Young

....................... Vardy .......................

No one that will start in the Summer.

Lets give them a week so we can rest them.

2 friendlies this week is silly - we are not the only national facing this.

The under 17s that won their world cup are now under 18s. The current under 17s have only played 1 game at that age group, beating Portugal 3.2.. next Tuesday am going to watch their 2nd game against the German u17.

I wouldn’t worry as Germany are also missing a number of key players through injury and rest.

Yep I’d do the same. There really is no point to these friendlies now all the “stars” have pulled out.

The difference on my team selection is Livermore instead of Cork and Abraham instead of Rashford so not that different.

Maguire having his second decent game of the season tonight.

In the Germany defence, Hummels is a man mountain, first to every England cross.

Funny how this "nothing team" has performed better than the last 3 years of England top 6 picks.

We are very poor in the German penalty area and they have had rthe better chances, I would swap Abtahams for Rashford

Abraham has been very poor, but the rest have been reasonable.

Loftus Cheek our best player and Ozil or Hummel the best on the field
