The only reason I would want Jack involved with the joke that is the England team is to increase his value . If he is to leave next summer, which most are touting, then being England Number 1 for the World Cup will do very nicely. It's amazing what three World Cup games can do for a players value. I agree, but with that twat in charge he won't be number one going into the Workd Cup.....unless he moves to another club in January.

Looks like the plan is for a back 3 today - and maybe for the World Cup if it looks okay.
Butland Keane-Stones-Maguire Trippier-Winks-Henderson-Cresswell Alli-Lingard Kane
The team today looks a bit like an England B team (Lingard?), but going forward, Lallana should make a difference when he returns.
But not having anyone better than Henderson is the major concern. If the idea is to get the front 7 as Spurs-y as possible, he sure ain't no Dembele.
Also looks like Rashford may be a casualty of this system in terms of starting, because Southgate loves Lallana and he'll obviously play a key role at the World Cup
Hart Jones-Stones-Cahill Walker-Dier-Henderson-Rose Lallana-Alli Kane

An unsoiled sheet for Buto would be a good little footnote to the weekend.

An unsoiled sheet for Buto would be a good little footnote to the weekend. I just heard an interview with Jack on Absolute Radio news. Well I say I heard, couldn't tell a word he said as my kids were tipping boxes of Lego over. But still, some national coverage and his return to the England team was the main sport headline.

Good luck Jack. Great to see him getting the nod tonight. It's typical that it's the one department's we've got 4 bloody great options.

Hart, Butland, Pickford and Forster are all very good. Admittadley I think Hart is the worst of those 4 but I'd feel quite comfortable in having any of those keepers in my team

Southgate is apparently looking at the kind of 3-4-3 that we've been playing as the way forward, so who is out there who can come in and replace Henderson?
That seems the key deficiency in any likely XIs you can come up with for any prospective World Cup teams
Butland Jones-Stones-Cahill Walker-Dier-xxxx-Rose Lallana-Alli Kane
The front 7 kind of approximates Spurs, with Lallana trying to do an Eriksen impression, but not sure Henderson can do a Dembele.
Haven't seen much of Winks, but liked what I've seen. The chance is there for someone to emerge as a starter, so could it be him if he gets games this year?
Some people still seem to think the ghost of Wilshere has a chance of coming back (and, to be fair, he did look okay in their Europa League game the other week)
Given the lack of alternatives, Delph may even be a viable option if he was getting regular midfield football.

Butland Keane-Stones-Maguire Trippier-Winks-Henderson-Cresswell Alli-Rashford Kane Have to say that line up is one of the most interesting England have put out in many a year. I'm actually looking forward to the game and it's been bloody years since I've said that about an England game.

The management have got to look at the stats for every England player who is going to the World Cup.
So pick the 11 who had the best form in the league, if not then nothing is going to change in my opinion.

Only watching because Jack is playing so don't really give a damn but what is the point of Henderson? No range of passing, movement limited, can't tackle that well, doesn't score, can't take free kicks etc etc Bog standard.
