White Guehi Tomori Kilman all deserve a chance at CB after their form this yearWell he's 29 , never won a major honour , cost 80 mill and makes mistakes weekly in the Premier league .. it's laughable how much Southgate adores him
Couldn't agree more. Every time I watch Mount I'm thoroughly underwhelmed. Foden is a class above Mount.Agree with that. He seems to have an almost obsessive favouritism about Mount. Good player, but has been really average for England. Foden is just pure class and should be the first name on the teamsheet.

It used to be a time when England created fantastic defensive players but lacked creativity. Now we've got loads of creative, technical midfielders but poor defenders. Even the likes of Stones has a lapse of concentration in him and isn't really what we'd traditionally call a defender but can play the ball bout a bit, just not well enough to be a midfielder.Not sure on that. James is excellent at right back and Shaw at left back. I think they are both top players.
We then also have Kyle Walker and Trent Alexander-Armstrong and Kieran Tripper.
At the left back we have Ben Chilwell.
It's the centre where we are weaker I think. The centre backs. No-one is looking top class there really. This is why Maguire plays.
Do you think he would be in if he was playing at a top Premier League club here?It used to be a time when England created fantastic defensive players but lacked creativity.

I wouldn't boo one of our own players and Maguire hasn't been that bad for England compared to Man U but I think the system suits him more with more protection.
Not really confident of anyone coming through either. s someone else said, Tomori should be in this team.
For me, Mount is more that reliable midfielder who you can rely on to have a steady game, but I'd prefer him to be a squad player rather than first choice. Even then I'd probably pick Ward-Prowse ahead of him.For their clubs though , atleast this season, mount offers more in terms of assists , goals and defensive work.
Foden appears more naturally gifted for sure
I liked the Rice/Phillips tandem, but Bellingham is a player who can be box to box and both hold and attack, so has many more strings to his bow. I would like to see the Rice/Bellingham explored further.For me, Mount is more that reliable midfielder who you can rely on to have a steady game, but I'd prefer him to be a squad player rather than first choice.

If you want someone who can hold we've got Rice and Bellingham. Attacking wise there's so much to choose from - Foden, Grealish, Sterling, Smith-Rowe, Saka, Sancho. Maddison is a better player too IMO but he seems to be unfavoured.
I agree. I think Bellingham can do more further forward but with that level of attacking flair available for those positions I don't want to have to take someone out to put Bellingham in. So I'd rather take out Phillips.I liked the Rice/Phillips tandem, but Bellingham is a player who can be box to box and both hold and attack, so has many more strings to his bow.

Bellingham does everything Phillips does and more. Its an easy decision for me.I agree. I think Bellingham can do more further forward but with that level of attacking flair available for those positions I don't want to have to take someone out to put Bellingham in. So I'd rather take out Phillips.
There's no doubt Tomori would be in the squad if he was playing regularly for ChelseaDo you think he would be in if he was playing at a top Premier League club here?

I can't think of one major error he's made for England though.
Some players are just more suited to the international game
Sorry missed thisGrealish moving to Citeh means he's now playing regular Champions League football so has experience of better players and bigger occasions than at Villa. He was in the squad anyway so I don't see why that would change.
Who would you have picked in his place?
He's quality. Not sure if hes first team quality yet but hes much better than Mings.Discovered yesterday that Max Kilman is left footed. Wonder if he could cope in a back 4
