    Following instructions.

    He's trying to be a playmaker, which he really isn't. Every time I've seen him he tries 50 yard passes that rarely find their target. He'd be fine if he just sat there, kept it ticking over and give it to the more talented players. However Dier does that better than him so there's no need for Henderson. There's nobody in the England midfield that can carry the ball forward which is why Chalobah and Wilshere should be on the plane next summer.

    Prophetic words
    Without a proper midfield (like Croatia) England were ultimately found wanting. Let's hope Chalobah has a great season and Southgate gives him a chance to prove his credentials.

    Think it's time to stick a fork in him. Plenty of young playmakers out there (including two of our own), we won't have space for Wilshere soon enough

    But ITK Jim had said in his post that he should be on the plane with Chalo so clearly he should have been ?

    What a thread. Full of awful shouts, English exceptionalism and even a touch of racism from some. I'd advise people to go back and re-read the whole thing for the full experience but the comment below in particular made me chuckle.

    Probably sums up Spurs and their form that Ali and Winks have about much chance of being called up now as Chalobah!

    Not the first idiot to think that hindsight makes them clever .

    I never actually said I was clever but if you read the thread you'll see that I was calling you out on your nonsensical comments at the time so not sure what hindsight has to do with anything?

    What a great read, we're all pretty clueless when it comes to this football stuff aren't we?

    Don't underestimate us.

    I'm sure many of us, me included, are equally clueless on a whole range of subjects, not just football.:cool:

    Most people saw through Dele Alli though. Apart from the media who naturally defined him as Mbappe level and the thickos took in it like a sponge.

    I love watching England in tournaments, I love all the hype and the panto of it all. Looking forward to the Euros it will be fun. As for the OPs post about racism, meh.

    Every tournament without fail. "Golden generation, embarrassment of riches, this is the best squad England have ever had". Mainly based around having to choose between three right backs...

    We will win the group then get knocked out by Portugal or France

    No idea when the Euros start or whose group we are in. I may tune I if we get as far as the semis. Cricket season now so looking forward to the test match starting in 2 days time.

    You think Germany will win the group of death? My two pence would be on France winning that one, with us knocked out by Germany.

    Who cares. Southgate won’t pick the right team anyway.

    Should be 433/4231

    GK: Henderson or Johnstone
    RB: TAA or James
    CB: Stones and Maguire
    LB: Shaw or Chilwell

    CM: Bellingham/Henderson/Phillips, Mount, Foden

    RW: Sancho
    LW: Grealish
    ST: Kane

    That gets England to the final.

    What Southgate will do;

    Pickford

    Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw

    Henderson, Rice, Mount

    Rashford, Kane, Sterling

    If he plays 3 at the back;

    Pickford

    Walker, Stones, Maguire

    Trippier, Henderson, Rice, Chilwell

    Rashford, Kane, Sterling

    So depressing.

    Yes so we would play Portugal if we win the group.
    And now back down to 3!
