    Our team isn't as strong as we'd think it would be if we drop Dier into the back four. He really knows how to shield the back four. Not sure drinkwater, milner, delph whoever can play it the same as Dier.

      Not sure I said we should take 5 strikers, but I can see why you may take four.

      1) 4-3-3
      2) A striker who can play up top and in midfield e.g. Rooney, Sterling.

      5 Strikers would be if you take Rashford, which I cannot see happening, he will be one of the 3 not to go to France. Sterling is seen as a Midfield / Striker, just like Lallana and Barkley.

          Roy was onto a loser with whatever squad he picked tbf, everybody thinks they can do a better job.

          Everybody cries out for young players and not the same old names, yet when Rashford is selected, there's uproar and people are saying Defoe should be in instead

          Regardless what squad we have, we are only there to make up the numbers anyway.
          You should never underestimate the predictability of stupidity.

            Bish Bash BOSH!! - Cant agree anymore with this....

            Although, I do think we are there as challengers this time round, whether it be making 1/4 finals or Semi Finals we should be there about's this tournament. France pose this biggest threat for me, but I think we have enough fearless young talent to give it a right go.

              There are very different types of striker, and you could realistically line up with one, two or even three of them on the park according to set up.

              While CBs vary to some extent, they tend to have more commonality than strikers.

                He does seem to like people with experience of doing crap at previous tournaments. Expect some ex footballer to wonder why Gerrard and Lampard aren't in.

                  Two ways of looking at this one. Sure he's done very little this term but assuming he's fit, he's rested. A long season can leave you nothing in the tank, we've seen that before with England.

                  My personal opinion is that he's there for one reason, slide rule passes to find a yard of space for Vardy.

                    Gutted for Jagielka. Deserved one more tournament. Losers like Rooney still getting picked, accommodated because no ones got the sack to drop him. Just hope Dele Alli has a good tournament, great player we have there.

                        This has to be Rooney's last tournament please God! He's never yet played well in a major competition, he continually drops deep and destroys the shape of the team. He's not good enough a striker now to be our main option and he's certainly not good enough a midfielder to cut it at the higher levels. If he makes it into the final 23 then it has to be as a squad player. In MY opinion! Tin hat on....
                        2011-2013, 2 seasons in the Premiership, 76 games, 14 wins........two years of my life I'll never get back!!

                        2013/2014 mediocrity topped off with a win at Wembley....

                        2014/2015 was pretty much the same as 2011-2013.....

                        2015/2016, average at best.....

                        2016/2017, same old, same old....

                        2017/2018, aim low, avoid disappointment!

                        Its the hope that kills you!

                          This statement is quite funny.....

                          - I find it funny that we 'owe' somebody a place because they are old and deserve one last tournament? Everton had a poor season by all accounts in the Prem and, quite frankly I wouldnt waste a place on the plane having a player who isn't likely to play, would rather give a young lad a chance to show what they are made of.

                          - I find it funny that 'losers like' Rooney are now 'Losers'? Christ, he isn't completely sh1t?!? If Phil Jags deserves a one last international tournament, then so does Rooney who quite honestly SHOULD be at least on the plane? Rooney can play up top, out wide and in the middle of the park and he is better than taking Caroll IMO.

                            Totally agree with this post.
                            Yes Rooney hasn't produced it in major comps however you need a balance of exciting talent with experience.

                            Also I think Wiltshere is a fantastic little player, and yes he hasn't been fit all season but thats just because he flies into tackles and gets stuck in. I think the rest would of done him good and he is far superior to mark noble, who lets be honest has been ordinary bar this season where he has played well in a few games.

                            We certainly arent just making up the numbers as this is the best team we've had in years, yes I know we shouldn't harp them up but to say we wont be competitive is nonsense.
                            I played sunday league football today.

                            Clearly I was the best player on the pitch.

                            I scored 5 and made 7 last ditch tackles.

                            We lost 5-0 but the rest of my team were sh it!

                              You got your own opinions. First one, don't think any footballer is owed anything, I just thought as Hodson was talking about loyalty I thought he would be given a go. Everton has had a poor season but picked stones? And Cahill? And smalling?And he has not picked another young CB has he?

                              Secondly, Rooney has had his chance, he has been poor. He doesn't deserve a chance upfront. And you say out wide and in the middle. That's what I call funny. It's all about opinions, don't try and ridicule people trying to air them.
