Leaving out Gobbs-Shite is mental. Gym Bowen deserves a spot, too.

If it’s this Tuchel better win the fucking World Cup.
Only one I don't agree with is Burn over Maguire. Maguire is better and has had a better season. Levil Colwill would have been in had he come back a bit earlier.
Quansah has been really good since his move to Germany and will be a first choice pick before too long.
Tuchel is looking like a disaster...
I’m really very confused on “henderson for his experience and leadership” and then taking Dan fucking Burn over Maguire. I can only think it’s a personal dislike for the player.
I’m not arsed about this one. All our third choice strikers are arse. Toney can take a pen well and that’s about all he’ll probably have to do.
Welbeck, Solanke etc? They aren’t any better than him.
We won every qualifying game under him without conceding a goal. Obviously not amazing opposition but I don’t think there’s any sign we’re bad on the pitch under him, unless you heavily focus on experimental friendlies which is disingenuous.
I do think there’s some strange squad decisions but that he’s gone for continuity. I’m not arsed about palmer not going for example - he’s brilliantly talented but so obviously nursing an injury.
Should have just taken Henderson as a staff member. I've heard Wharton hasn't made it, it's absolutely mental taking Henderson over him just for experience and leadership. It's not like our squad is full of kids.
He's a tosser's what he is...obviously being paid either by T***p or the Germans to sabotage the England team...
Wait until we start playing decent European teams...
Might do ok long as they keep the main players fit. I would imagine the middle and attack is already sorted. Kane is best striker and Anderson and Rice is as good as any pair in the world on paper At least. We get injuries though and depth might be an issue.
Kane
Rashford Bellingham Saka
Rice Anderson
I can see Bellingham having a big tournament. He’s livened up for Madrid lately post surgery and I think he’s actually become underrated.
My issue is we basically need Saka and James to stay fit as the alternatives aren’t it. And that’s not the most reliable thing to hope for.
James and O Reilly is a great full back pair. Feels like with England not having Wharton, Gibbs-White etc we are heavily dependent on no injuries. The below could beat anyone. I just don’t trust it to stay fit.
Kane
Rashford Bellingham Saka
Rice Anderson
O’Reilly Guehi Konsa James
Pickford
Kane and Anderson for me are the most vital players. Kane jsut being the best striker in the world and Anderson as an all round deep lying playmaker is essential for all modern teams domestic or international.
Don't think it's that deep, the only shocks are Palmer/Foden but they've been complete toss and MGW is unlucky but it's between him and Rodgers/Eze, would have thought he'd be picked over Eze
Tuchel I think is going to be super loyal to the team which went on a run in qualifying. Might even start Rogers over Bellingham.
