Drinkwater had more right to go than Wilshere.
Woy would want to hope Dier doesn't get injured/suspended. Only DM in the squad.Drinkwater had more right to go than Wilshere.

Good decision on Rashford though.
I think he'll go 2 up and a diamond in midfield, but your point of unbalanced is still valid. I think Barkley is a talent, but I believe he'd benefit from missing this tournament and hitting the gym for a bit of cardio instead.England only play 1 upfront though - so for the 3 forward positions Roy's potentially got:
Kane
Rooney
Vardy
Sturridge
Rashford
Alli
Barkley
Sterling
Lallana
For the 2 centre back positions he's got:
Cahill
Smalling
Stones
Dier (which would the presumably mean Wilshere holding mid)
Seems unbalanced to me.

Looks like Roy likes to spread his peanut butter very thin.And only 3 centre backs. So Dier is cover there as well.

Are there many English CB's that can adequately play LB or RB? You'd think that'd be a better approach then just drop one full back.
I'd say he's still got it in him to be a special player. Shame he's had a few years playing under that fucking charlatan Martinez. Get him doing two training sessions a day under Poch and he'd be unstoppable.Barkley has done very little for months. He was dropped near the end of the season, wasn't he?
He definitely is the new Rooney.

Much as he is average Shawcross should have gone as well. We need Dier at DM and he hasn't had much practice at CB of late.
Woy has top loaded the England team as if we are Brazil and can out score any opposition.
In a way it makes some sense, if you haven't got a strong defence go in with a squad that can live up to the "you score 3 we'll score 4" method.Much as he is average Shawcross should have gone as well. We need Dier at DM and he hasn't had much practice at CB of late.
