Pickford has made, literally, one mistake for England, he's been excellent Maguire is not going to be in the team if Guehi is fit Thats an if though Maguire & Stones will start whether Guehi fit or not. Thats not what he was doing after the World Cup Maguire had been moved down the pecking order Been a lot of disruption re injuries to Stones and Guehi since then Imo he now sees it as Stones and Guehi Imo if Guehi out he should play Konsa as nearest in style to Guehi with Maguire only in if Stones is out I think Maguire will retire from international football after the Euros

But there's noticeable dearth of possibilities there

Our lack of pace in the centre back position is what will ultimately cost us in my opinion. Teams like France will expose it despite us being more than capable of hurting them ourselves.
Stones injury record is a massive concern as he’s our standout centre half when fully fit bit he seems to have an injury he just can’t shake off…….

Saying all that though, when has he missed a major tournament match for England?.. seems to be always fit at the right time. We desperately need him to be as well.

There’s fit and there’s fit but yeah he’s been ready in the past so touch wood he will be again. Left back is the other major concern…….

Joe Gomez and Ezri Konsa being involved recently leads me to think Southgate might have taken a note out of Pep's book and will play a mobile cb at LB if Shaw isn't available.. just a guess though.

We can't rely on Chilwell. All the Alfie Doughty talk was just pie in the sky he's a million miles sway from the levels required. Mitchell at Palace made a couple of squads and that was that. At least Gomez has played their sporadically, he's another player with a regular mistake in him though from what I see. Not seen enough of Konsa or Villa in general to comment...............

Thats why walker is so vital in playing rb as he has the pace to get back

If Wharton was playing at a "big club" instead of Palace, I guarantee he'd be going the Euros. He's been excellent every time I've seen him, which has been quite a few times, weirdly.
