WakefieldVillan Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 33 minutes ago, Pez1974 said: It's gonna be Ramsdale, Greenwood, Lingard, and the 2x Bens left out. Mings and Coady go as they are leaders and have some experience, and with Maguire an injury doubt, there is no-one else in the backline to bollock anyone. Probably a RB, so Alexander-Arnold? Wouldn't have a problem with this, not least because the other 3 are the RB for the title winner (and his teams best player in the CL final); the RB for the Champions League winner (and his teams 2nd best player on the night) and the RB for the winner of La Liga. And probably Ollie, I'm afraid. Really think he should go as he offers so much, but reckon he'll take Saka for versatility, Rashford because he fed some kids, and all the other midfielders, because of injury doubts around Jack, Henderson and Phillips. Personally, I'd leave out Henderson, if Phillips is fit. He's not played in months, and taking such players never works. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pez1974 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 The Daily Mail reporting that the 7 to miss out are... Alexander-Arnold, Godfrey, Greenwood, Lingard, Ramsdale, Ward-Prowse, and White. (I haven't put a link, because you are better than that; but it sounds about right). If this is correct, then personally I feel that Ward-Prowse is the unlucky one there, and is out because of injury issues around Henderson and Phillips. Obviously delighted for the Villa-3 if true. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AVFCDAN Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 Grealish and Mings were always going to make it, Watkins possibly because Greenwood has now pulled out. Unfortunately i cant see any of them starting so it might come down to injuries before we see them on the pitch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stewiek2 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 They way Harry Kane was waxing lyrical over Jack in his chat with Gary Neville, saying that the two are on the same wavelength from the first time they trained suggests Jack's a shoe-in and if Kane has any input could start as well. And this is what England need, especially as they go further in a tournament, ball careers that don't lose the ball easily and can win fouls further up the pitch. Issues at recent tournaments are that the likes of Sterling and Rashford rely on pace but not massive skill in the sense of holding onto the ball. Jack out of all the midfielders is the one who does that. Foden is great, and I like Mount but both dont have that natural ability of the ball sticking to them like glue that Jack has. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wainy316 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I don't think Grealish will start the Croatia game. Hopefully first off the bench though and then he can solidify his place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) I’ll be gutted if they drop Ward-Prowse, someone that good at set pieces is worth his weight in gold. Edited June 1, 2021 by Genie 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he plays with 3 CMs then unless Henderson has some sort of healing water I don't see how he can drop him, going in to a tournament with the 1st 3 of rice, Mount, phillips and then Henderson and Bellingham as back up would be mad Unless of course he wants to play foden or grealish as a 10...

If football becomes some bizarre NFL experience where he can come on purely to take free kicks I'm on board. He's not got anything else that really sets him apart for me. I hope we see White instead of Coady. Guys never going to make it at international level where as White could be starting in 2-3 years. Greenwood's injury means we're going to see a Watkins call up surely? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
