England's provisional 26 man squad

[moyeslovechild]

how on earth is Wiltshire in there

Jags, Defoe. Antonio is twice the player Townsend is.

I wouldn't have taken any of them to be honest.

 

[Alanbileysfeathercut]

And people wonder why lots of evertonians don't give a flying shiote about England

I wouldn't have taken any of them to be honest.

Just a fan of sustained form over reputation.

Even Barry should have gone ahead of Wilshere. He may be 35 but he's ten times fitter and had another season without injury and playing to a sustained, high level.

Don't ge tme wrong I wouldn't have had Wilshire there either. Or Henderson. Or bloody Delph. But it's hardly a shock so I don't get the faux uproar mainly from people who claim not to care anyway.

feel for jags and baines there selfishly i dont want them to go but there last chance must be gutted

 

[neil999]

honestly wouldn't be surprised if FA put pressure on picking 'famous' players...

 

[Deggo]

Laughing at Wilshere in particular.

How many games has he played this season?

Drinkwater Townsend Henderson lollollollol

God I hope they all play in the same game

 

[Welton Toffee]

Rashford will get chopped mate, unless he bags loads in the friendlies. So it will be 4 forwards which is about right.

We've been so bad at the back I woulnd't have taken Stones or Jags really. But I guess we don't have a lot of options there.

True. I guess being our best defender isn't really that much of a compliment this season. But on this season's form for me it would have to be Jags and Smalling starting.

Definitely th case of Nike and Brazil's national team, so hard to believe it doesn't happen elsewhere

Defence is defo the gaping weak spot in that squad.

Should've begged John Terry out of retirement

 

[jayden28]

Very very average squad that,one of the worst I've seen and i think these will struggle to get out the group stages.

 

[dandydan]

And with the inclusion of Wilshere and Henderson I'm now in the "meh" camp.

Hard to say. I don't think it's too terrible bar the defence.

Have Wales, Russia and Slovakia really got better squads than that?
