It's better than shoehorning Gooney into midfield.

I don't know who else you would want. Livermore? :hhh:

Wheelchair and Lallana bodies cannot be trusted. Lallana is unlucky, he got injured early into the season, rushed back too early and did himself another mischief, which set him back and he hasn't been the same since.

Chalobah and Winks been injured.
Cook isn't a defensive midfielder.
Shelvey is probably unlucky, but he has temperament issues and when you already have Alli, you can really only have one.

Hopefully Bossgate plays a 3 man midfield. Dier and Henderson playing in a 2 vs Panama and Tunisia is :hhh:.
English midfield talent is just weak to me in general

Delle is listed as a midfielder but he might as well play as a second striker. If they can drop Hart they can do that to Cahill.

He needs to play in midfield, he's been shyt for England playing as the SS. He can get away playing SS for Spurs because he has Eriksen feeding them both. If anyone deserves to be the SS it's Sterling, tbh.

If Marseille wins Europa today then Payet absolutely needs to be on that plane to Russia. Maybe even Thauvin, but I'd rather see a brother (Dembele, Coman, Lemar, or even Martial, though the last is very unlikely due to injury and lack of recent playing time).

Should be a good game.

If he plays that's my World Cup drinking game sorted out.

Everytime he pulls a funny face, you take a drink.

I'll probably be :drunk: by half time, but at least it will number the pain of defeat. :mjcry:

London
Smallings should have made it

just how diverse is England? i thought London was diverse and then the rest is lilywhite

Nah. Londons obviously got the higher percentage of ethnic minorities, but there are a few pockets in cities such as Manchester, Birmingham, Glasgow, Liverpool, Leeds, Bristol, Bradford, Blackburn, Burnley, Cardiff and the satellite towns of London eg. Watford, Luton, Slough, Reading etc.

How many of those midfielders can keep possession under pressure though?
