Cahill isn't great but he's quick and is probably more reliable than Stones at this point. I'd probably have Stones play against the teams you'd expect to have possession against and Cahill against the teams you wouldn't.

Henderson is a weird one. I think he's better than Noble and Drinkwater but going on current form I'd probably agree that he should be on the bench.

Not to mention some other bullshit country poaching Huth,

It's a really weird sentence to try and say when you try and say the sentence "Chris Smalling is our best defender"

But when you manage to say it you do feel really pumped and optimistic about it coming home.

Look!
I want to see England play

Clyne - Smalling - Jones - Rose
     Dier
 Lallana - Alli - Sterling
   Kane - Vardy

Every game would end 5-4

Barkley has been hot garbage for the past three months. Andros Townsend is Andros Townsend.

You know Rooney is on the plane unless his knee explodes.

Walcott's not going because he's not played enough, Wilshere's going because he presumably has incriminating photos of Roy

can't disagree, but using the "he's not played enough games" card while taking Jack loving Wilshere is blatantly ridiculous

Potentially a decent 11 in there, but you just know Roy is going to play wilshire, Henderson and Rooney

Townsend over Antonio is the one that gets me. I understand not taking Noble and Cresswell as that's a lot of competition for those positions. Carroll is too inconsistent. But Antonio has been great all season while Townsend had a few good games and then got relegated.

I'd have picked Defoe over Rashford but that's about it.

Midfield four of Dier, Wilshere, Henderson/Milner and Ali behind Vardy and Kane and I'm happy

Townsend is in the form of his life tbf, I've never been a fan at all but even though all he does is cut inside and shoot, he's at least scoring for Newcastle

Mark Noble captained an England team to a final and will never be called up to the full squad despite having a better season than all but two of the midfielders picked.

Fair point re Noble, he's earned at least a Barton esque call up for a meaningless friendly or qualifier away at Bongo Bongo Land.
