Smiley Culture Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 I presume there’s going to be no Harry Kane but can we expect any major shock inclusions or omissions? Nick Pope, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Jack Wilshere should be in the side for me. As for Kane’s replacement, I’m at a loss as to who to come in. Ashley Barnes? Dom Solanke?

Happy Blue Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 If they play Sterling while he's just getting over an injury i will lose my shit! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Subscriber Dan+ Posted March 12, 2018 Subscriber Share Posted March 12, 2018 Is Ashley Barnes even eligible? Has he not been capped by Austria? Don't worry about the World Cup. Kane will have his time in 2022. This is Vardy's tournament my friends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smiley Culture Posted March 12, 2018 Author Share Posted March 12, 2018 Just now, HK85 said: Ahead of Trippier or Walker? Yeah. No point playing Walker in two friendlies against Netherlands and Italy, what more do the England setup need to know about Walker that they don’t already know? We all know that barring an injury, he’s starting in Russia, give a young lad a go and potentially give Southgate a headache about who goes alongside Walker to Russia.

Don't think they've got much time left for experimenting, there's only 4 games till the opening WC game. Should really have an idea of who's playing and in what system by now and go with it to see how it plays out before the Tunisia game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should really have an idea of who's playing and in what system by now and go with it to see how it plays out before the Tunisia game. Friendlies are the perfect time for experimenting, playing a full team in Amsterdam, three months before the competitive games at the World Cup starts changes little, IMO. It’s also a good chance to “rest” players, IMO. City are still in the Champions League and have progressed to the League Cup Final, Walker has played 41 games this season already, he’s not played as many games as that in a whole season since 2012-13. I’m no sports scientist but fatigue has got to be an issue, because Walker’s going to be playing 50+ games before the World Cup even starts. I’m sure Southgate has an idea of his starting XI but three months before a ball is kicked, it shouldn’t be that rigid that players who are performing, and in some cases, developing well are overlooked at this stage.

Danny Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Definitely rest the players involved in the Champions League if possible, or at least restrict their minutes. Vardy Sessegnon - Alli - Lingaard Wilshere - Dier Bertrand - Maguire - Smalling - Trippier Southgate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Storts Posted March 12, 2018 Share Posted March 12, 2018 Would love to see some of the exciting young talents getting the call up, if only for the experience. I don't mean the fringe, U21 players like Abraham, Solanke etc. - Talking about the Sancho's and Foden's of this world, and Sessegnon etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

6666 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Not sure about "experimenting". We were poorly prepared during the previous two tournaments where we had to decide on a lot of things during the warm up games. We need to go into this tournament knowing exactly how we're going to play and how we're going to use the bench. We need to have most of the things sorted by now. At the moment we don't know the formation, the style, the keeper, the defence or the midfield or if they'll all actually complement each other. All we know is Kane starts upfront and he might not be fully fit for the tournament... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hadn't realised just how bad things have got though - but you're right in terms of guarantees. Only other ones I think that are certain to start are Sterling, Walker and Dier.

Smiley Culture Posted March 15, 2018 Author Share Posted March 15, 2018 Danny Welbeck in there. The undroppable man, Joe Hart, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Stan Posted March 15, 2018 Administrator Share Posted March 15, 2018 Jack Wilshere, Alfie Mawson, Nick Pope, Lewis Cook and James Tarkowski included in the squad. I'd say the most deserving of those would be Nick Pope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marc Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 It says a lot about Dyche that this time last year Heaton and Kane were in the england squad and now their replacements Pope and Tarkowski are in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
