England World Cup squad

[Nicholas91]

No Maguire, Foden or Palmer thus far apparently,

Be interesting to see final cut.

No Wharton either. In fact it looks like it will only be Hendo from our side and he won’t play unless Pickford gets injured. Lots of fringe players from big clubs though. We never learn.

Those not going will only enhance their reputations (ie. Wharton), as I can only see another England failure at the World Cup.

Quarter finals at best.

Though, the possibility of not making out of the group is very possible with Croatia and Ghana.

How we are 3rd favourites is beyond me.
I would be surprised if France didn't win it, in fact they could put out a 2nd side and still challenge.

Disagree, I think with this manager and current crop of players, we’re absolutely in the top 3 or 4 favourites to win it.

Wharton’s omission is criminal. As would be Palmer’s. Foden is unfortunate but I can understand it.

I like Wharton. But he offers far less than foden/ palmer.
As it stands , surely it will be rice Anderson, Rodger’s , with 2 wingers and Kane.
Think/hope we will do well.

I can understand reasons for not including all 3 but only if that meant Gibbs-White was included. But to ignore him, in the form he's been in just makes no sense. By not taking any of them, there's certainly less options to provide a spark off of the bench.

I must say this was already the least excited I've been about a World Cup and today has done nothing to change that.

 

[Stansferret]

Foden can’t hack it when it matters. Palmer at his best is a no brainer, but hasn’t been at his best.
So not surprised neither picked.

I can't believe that Ivan Toney is seriously being considered as a striker. But then I'm surprised that John Stones is as he's been out for most of the season hasn't he?

Harry Kane, Wally Otkins and Danny Welbeck up front for me.
