01) Hart
02) Clyde
03) Smalling
04) Stones/Cahill
05) Baines
06)Dier Ali/Barkley
07) Henderson
08) Sterling
09) Kane
10) Rooney

I accept your heartfelt apologies in advance :hypo:

The awkward moment when you think Dele Alli is called Dier Ali and make yourself look a fool.

Just in case you're still confused there is a spurs midfielder called Eric Dier :fl:

Oh dear Eb. Salvation can only be achieved by going the Drinkwater for England route.
And those of you not including Vardy need shooting. In the face.
With rubber bullets of course.

I agree we should talk about that instead of my embarrassing moment. Look at these mugs not picking Vardy and Drinkwater and so forth...

(in my defence I've been up for thirty-something hours)

To be fair EG you constantly biging up Josh McEachran as some kind of potential world superstar was far more embarrassing ;)

Some players fulfil their potential and some don't, and he is one of them same goes for Ravel Morrison.

The McEachran situation still baffles me to be honest. I've never seen a player put in such a high level of performance at 17 years old only to then fall of the map by 21. It's like his growth spurt completely changed his style and he couldn't adjust.

I did think of combining the DNA of Dier and Ali but I thought it'd be against UEFA rules.

Maybe something to look at in the future tho.

After Match of the Day we know Mark Noble isn't going to get near the squad

Shearer asked him whether Noble is in the frame and Hodgson said "He's a good character" and then immediately mentioned Drinkwater

West Ham fans going nuts on twitter

Not really one for the future which is what I think Roy is looking for with a few expectations..

I think he will play a Diamond in one of the friendlies to test it out

That is something that could suit us, Kane/Vardy with Rooney and Sterling in behind

Assuming the midfield three isn't Henderson, Milner and Shelvey

It'll be the same as always. The "best" players will be shoehorned into the side at the expense of balance.

Strikers are giving Roy a headache

Vardy, Kane and Rooney deserve to go

Can you trust Sturridge? is Welbeck as good as the others? If one of Vardy or Kane misses out for either I'd say its pretty harsh

It is good to have these options, selecting 4 will be tough.
Walcott and Sterling will be the utility forwards

Welbeck would be taken primarily as a winger/wide forward I assume. I can only see Sterling being ahead of him in that position.

If fit, Welbeck should be taken due to fitness levels. In 4 months, he'll be in tip top shape and not knackered like the rest of the squad.

He plays for Arsenal, he'll never be fit.

A hint at who is heading to the Euros? 12 players suited up, I doubt they take part in this shoot if they were then omitted from the squad. Players are: Hart, Smalling, Walker, Barkley, Kane, Alli, Shelvey, Bertrand, Cahill, Gibbs, Lallana and Jones.

Be interesting to see, fitness permitting, how many of those 12 do make the squad.

I doubt it says anything about who is going. I remember when Dier featured in a kit campaign before the FA had even approached him to play for England.

Which of the 12 do you honestly see missing out? Obviously, most of them are locks anyway, but with some of the marginals, they are regulars under Hodgson and when he likes a player, its hard for him to drop that obsession with them. I think Shelvey could well go over Dier because he's older, more experienced and has more England experience. Lallana is a utility player that Hodgson has selected before. Walker, well we don't have any RB depth after Clyne, so he gets in. Bertrand and Gibbs, no major issues, Shaw would probably be ahead of them but for his injury. Jones, well again, we have no CBs behind Stones, Cahill and Smalling, so he probably goes as a CB/RB option. I don't see most of those 12 missing out tbh.

As for Dier, when was this? Back in 2011?
