I wonder if it will be the same for Dier, England have bugger all Centre backs these days. Only position England are strong in now is the forwards weirdly enough (Kane, Sturridge, Ings, Austin, Berahino, Sterling).

I actually quite like Delph but Mason on current form is a better option than him.

I like the look of Stones aswell, but he's made quite a lot of mistakes this season, obviously playing in a team with as little confidence as Everton doesn't help him, but on merit Dier is ahead of him in my opinion. I could see the both of them being a pretty decent partnership at some point in the future.

Thought about Dier and Stones for England long term, their pace means England could play a high line. I assume Hodgson will just choose experience and pipe for Cahill and Jagielka at the moment.
Rate Ward-Prowse and considering the derth of talent in the centre he would be a good call, Mason as well. Amazing to think that clubs above us in the league right now have almost no English players of note in the centre. Carrick and Henderson I guess, Milner can cover the centre but not ideal, very barren indeed.
He didn't play against QPR?

This could be the youngest England squad I recall
I have concerns for him playing for a below par England side. Its just a thought....
An England call up is good and players come back to their club better for the experience.
For Rose, he needs to improve his decision making, he often makes the wrong call and gets caught out.
England games are fewer and mistakes are much more scrutinised so for Rose, if he doesn't improve in his decision making, may have a negative experience with England. He probably will not start any game soon so no problem there. He will need to improve to become a regular?

I agree he played a blinder...
Hopefully no one else will notice?
Spurs training session
5? Rose, KAne, Mason, Townsend, Walker
Does anyone ever have moments when they sort of realise just how weird being a football fan is?
I just had one when i saw those pictures. Seeing Mason Rose and Harry fucking Kane training with england is by far the highlight of my day so far... essentially its just a group of complete strangers that have had a promotion at work.. yet i feel like a proud dad.

Yeah, I had a similar feeling - it was weird. Kind of protective - ha ha, fucking ridiculous, I know.
A couple of years ago a girl i was going out with kept saying to me how proud she was of some guy that won I'm a celebrity get me out of her. And i slated her for it and called her "an absolute fucking loser" and its just dawned on me that what I'm doing is probably worse. Definitely getting a bit sentimental in my old age.
