What do you think of England's World Cup Squad?
Personally I think Southgate had got it about right.
The players have been picked to fit his plan: which is a passing team playing 3-4-3. Walker can play wide centre back and we need his pace and experience there. Our full back options are solid and there is an emphasis on pacy wide attackers.
I like that he hasn't put square pegs in round holes and that he's not afraid to drop big names. Hart deserved to be dropped because he's been awful, though other England managers would still have kept him. For Southgate, the collective comes over star power and Manchester United's Chris Smalling is dropped because he doesn't fit the system.
No offense to the Spurs fans on here but I think Deli Ali should not start because A) he has been average this season and B) the formation works best with two wide attackers and centre mids who can tackle. So that leaves Ratchford and Lingaard to fight for the place alongside Kane and Sterling in attack. And the attack looks decent.
Just to be clear, England and not World Cup contenders. Our defense and midfield are too average to beat a super power like Germany, Spain or Brazil. I think quarter final would be a good result and it's achievable. With a young squad and the junior teams doing well, we will have a better team in four years.
