we have a lack of depth in the center back, defensive midfielder and central striker areas. Hence, Maguire will play, Phillips will play, and there is no one to challenge Kane We are still that step away from being a top team. thing is apart from France no one has that level of quality depth in all areas England's pool of players is one of the best in the world

After Rice we are having to throw out old Jordan Henderson again. After Maguire what is there? Ben White looks to have ended his England career, they don't want to play Tomori or Gomez, we've got very few options. The striker position is most concerning, we have had to call up a Brentford striker! We've got loads of brilliant attacking midfielders and wide players but we are imbalanced. I think a lot of England fans will be disappointed later.

He’s very quickly becoming the back up to Kane we need. He also offers something different to Kane, and something of a plan b that we’ve not had.

Qualifier for the Euros, first game then Ukraine at home on Sunday an actual genuinely competitive England qualifying game, rare they are draw is fine by me guess a low scoring game is likely if we get 4 points (or more) off Italy nailed on we win the group 1 point (or less) & play offs it is

I can’t see Ukraine getting much of them either and fancy us to get at least 4 and probably 6 from the Ukraine games. NM and Malta should be maximum points.

Of course Italy will be looking for revenge against North Macedonia after they humiliated them in the World Cup play offs. Where do Ukraine play these days? Poland?

Surprised Reece James hasn't eased out Walker I was thinking more it's Trippier who is the unlucky one, he has been in the form of his career this season, whereas James has been stop/start with injuries. Chilwell can consider himself a bit unlucky too, although he was out for a long time, he's been in terrific form for the last few matches.

Genuinely think that as many England players would get in the Brazil starting XI, as would the other way around.

Although I suppose Fred is still the one to beat!

His set piece delivery is fantastic. Be first name on my team sheet. Think Ramsdale deserves a chance as well. Chesterton lad done well.
