Standby is poor enough cept for Ruddy ..

Thought you weren't fussed Phil, you bought that uruguay shirt yet? :D
 
We haven't got a cat in hell's chance and even my rose tinted specs have faded with that squad! Probably the best we've got which doesn't say much!

Not a lot of strength in depth looking at the standby list.:mad:

Keeper should be ok, assuming Hart doesn't get injured.:whistle:

Centre back and right back positions look weak. Not a lot of pace in the centre, and Johnson has been poor recently. His distribution and decision making are rubbish (sorry Phil !) Jones and Smalling are reckless to say the least.

Midfield could be ok, if the yougsters can play round Gerrard.

Up front. :mmm: Can't imagine too many International defenders losing much sleep.

We are Doomed, doomed, doomed I tell you.;)

No need to be sorry - he hasn't been great this season , inconsistent at best

Smalling is ok but Jones has just gone backwards

I have to say I've seen stronger England squads in my time. Best of luck y'all, I genuinely hope you have a good tournament (without winning it...jeez I couldn't cope if ye had 2 of them to brag about!! ;) ) and enjoy it.


Disclaimer:
Even though I hope you do well, I reserve the right as a Jock to have a wee chuckle at your expense when it goes wrong! ;)
 
Just need to get out of the group and a good run is possible ,(no real chance of winning it realistically bit playing well would be a plus ) first time in ages an England team going with no pressure of expectation .. could be best thing ever
