Wilshere didn't deserve to go to the world cup.

[Goldleaf]

Wilshire flatters to deceive. He chooses his stage to perform and cannot be trusted to deliver. Soughgate sees this clearly.

[Mr Shows]

I guess this playmaker thing is a bit overrated..

[nzeogwu]

And Hart and Tammy and several others too.

Is it? - Neymar, Coutinho, Modric, Erickson, Pogba, etc. They can make the difference between winning and losing!

dude, it depends on the style that the team plays.

[oloye]

SO Tammy thought he had a chance where my boy Rashford is smoking fire! Let him continue to dream!. We offered it to him on a platter of gold.....thatnk God he refused

[highbury]

They(Arsenalfantv) say he is the best thing since sliced bread

[SylverEagles]

My goodness!! What is this your over-bearing fascination with this play maker thing?

Question for you: Who is the traditional play maker for Liverpool?

There are two things important in football - 1. Score goals; 2. Don't concede goals (duh). As long as a team can do both of those very well, they win. Not every team can have a Maradonna or Zidane. But it has been shown that you can win with the likes of Mo Salah and Messi.

you need to stop drinking burukutu and posting. I warned you when you were here busy wishing our boys were as good as Wilshere. You blaspheme too much. Wilshere doesn't deserve to be on the team, despite Wenger's mago-mago.

Pope
Butland
Pickford

Alexander-Arnold
Cahill
Macguire
Stones
Trippier
Dier
Rose
Young
Jones
Walker

Delph
Dele Alli
Sterling
Loftus-Cheek
Linguard
Henderson

Kane
Vardy
Welbeck
Rashford

England Manager Gareth Soughgate's 23 for Russia. The 3 keepers only have 9 caps between them all. This is very unlike England. Soughgate obviously believes that chemistry matters more than experience judging by England's victories at U17 and U20. The days of established names representing England for years and years seems to have come to an end.

[ohenhen1]

The midfield is light.

[chuks69]

He really picked a very Young squad.. I expect Kane or Cahill to be his Captain..

[lionga]

The midfield is light.

Yea, quite!

On the highlighted, the thinking is that football is a one man show.
So I ask, what happens if the 'play maker' is marked out?

[oloye]

The midfield is light.

What did they win when it was heavy?

Watch Liverpool replace Coutinho soon. Ask yourself why he was bought for so much.

Dele Alli will end up being his playmaker.

[danfo driver]

And Hart and Tammy and several others too.

As if that one had a chance.

And with Iheanacho, Ighalo, Simmy, Lokosa, Jololo, Osimehn... lets concentrate on what we have.

Lingard will start over dele...

with that said, this team will be home before the post cards.

Brave selections by Southgate. Gotta applaud England not making selections based on name or club affiliation for once. Past years Joe Hart, Jack, Smalling, Phil Jones etc would have made the squad
