On form and fitness this is the team I'd go for bbc.in/1TJ6xO8Hart, walker, Cahill, smalling, Bertrand Diamond with dier at the base to try give some protection, Rooney at the tip with passing range. Sterling offering pace & width on left and Alli tucked in on right with walker overlapping. Kane & Vardy the best two strikers this year. We can't defend so go out to win games. Entertain and go for goals. This team will score goals. Especially in the group stages we've no-one to fear. A team that's scoring goals and playing exciting football can go on a run on confidence. Bench would be Drinkwater- best English midfielder this season,Townsend (to offer width on left - a player in form), Milner (utility plodder) Stones as there's no other defenders. Rashford (for surprise option) rose. I wouldn't takeHenderson, Sturridge or wilshere as not fit and taking crocked players never works in tournaments.

I worry about Sterling, he's so frustrating to watch. Yes, he can beat a man or two but his end product is double shite. He either takes one pass too many or goes early. I wonder about his football brain. And, he's got shit hair.

We can't play two up top and Rooney behind against any kind of decent team, look how Australia controlled the game for long stretches last night. Bale would run through us playing against that team. Way too much space in midfield and out wide. I'd go Hart Walker Smalling Cahill Bertrand Dier Wilshere Alli Rooney Sterling Kane The problem thought I'd that Alli and Rooney both need to play the same position and Sterling has gone backwards the last couple of years. Think we're a bit light on wide men unless I'm forgetting someone obvious. Would be tempted to go with Townsend. Think that's why he tried Vardy and Rashford out wide.

Sterling wouldn't be anywhere near the starting 11 for me. He's had a crap season and as said above, his footballing brain is about one notch up from Theo Robinson. Just another Shaun Wright Phillips

Think we'll miss welbeck playing off the left. Not the greatest technically and can't dribble through tight areas but he's lightning quick and is good for quick 1-2s round the box, and has a habit of scoring for England.

I agree about Welbeck, has always impressed me for England as compared to his club form. I would now take Rashford ahead of Sturridge. With strikers, you sometimes just have to go with the ones in form, for me thats Rashford, Kane and Vardy.

Just another Shaun Wright Phillips He's playing himself back into form. Looked a real threat last night. Pace to burn. SWP could've been brilliant. Sterling could have a big impact on the tournament.

Good side except that Wiltshire is nowhere near fit. Id put Drinkwater there instead where he's played all year. We would have more protection. If we have players that actually keep the ball and who hurt the opposition (like Leicester) we will have a chance of doing something. Possession football is just that. This tram could do some serious damage.

I'm not so sure. We were up against Preston defenders etc and he still looked like a player running down blind alleys and picking the wrong pass to me. He created the second goal but even Junior Mendes could have played that pass with only one defender back. All we can do is see what happens in a month's time but wouldn't be at all shocked to be proven right about Sterling and Rooney

Fitness and confidence is so vital- just look at Leicester stormed to the title on higher fitness and confidence than anyone else.

From last night's viewing, Henderson, Drinkwater and Clyne should be concerned about making the final 23. All 3 were poor in possession and lacked composure.
With only 7 defenders selected, Clyne will surely go.
Hendo will probably make the cut as he is one of 'Roy's boys'.
Drinkwater, Delph and one other to miss out.

None more so than Barkley who was dire. Our midfield and centre half options really are dire.

None more so than Barkley who was dire. Our midfield and centre half options really are dire. He was poor indeed. Forgot about him. He had a great start to the season but has been poor in the past few months. Not been given much of a chance by Roy in the friendlies either. Delph, Drinkwater and Barkley will miss out imo.

Townsend, Delph and most surprisingly Drinkwater miss out. Jordan Henderson is a lucky boy!

So that the 2 best English CM'S from last season sat at home watching it and we take a striker who's likely to pull an eyelash and be out til November. Cheers Woy, I'll just watch the cricket instead during the summer

How he can justify not taking Drinkwater is incomprehensible! its not, Drinkwater does not play for liverpool, man utd/city, chelsea, spurs, arsenal... roy will see leicester as a one off novelty team for a season and is taking vardy because he really has no choice, he had a choice to show his true feelings on leicester and dropped drinkwater... Im still suprised carrick wasnt selected.. vardy stays at leicester and scores one less goal than 2 strikers from one of the other top clubs and he wont get a game next season, even if leicester win the bloody league again..

Looks like Emyr Huws has missed out.. Coleman thinks he is well covered in central midfield. I would think if Ledley King looks like he isn't ready then Huws will be back in.

He's picked the strikers to go out and win it, then screwed up by going for the lacklustre options in midfield. Those Liverpool midfielders have something to prove because leaving Townsend behind is a massive call and IMO the wrong one. Who is the impact midfielder who can come on late in the game (if Sterling plays)? Think we'll do alright and think England have the talent to win this, problem is that with that risk averse midfield, the players who can change the games will be sat at home or being employed by itv (so we probably won't).

You can pick quite an exciting team from that squad. Worry is you can also pick the same boring dross that we always do.....
I would go with...
Hart Clyne Stones Cahill Rose Wilshere Dier Lallana Rooney Ali Kane
The impact Vardy, Sterling, Barkley could have from bench would frighten most teams Milner can come on to shore up the midfield Henderson can look after the water bottles.

Hopeless. Drinkwater may be limited but they will need someone who can break up the opposition's rhythm. Leicester have won 1-0 so many times this season because he and kante were great at protecting a lead. Not pretty put necessary. an against man city he was outstanding. Wilshire is more talented, a faster thinker but as everyone says, every minute of his waking life is an accident waiting to happen. And he's not fit. Nor is Henderson, who can't pass the ball especially well and has never hit a shot that didn't go miles over the bar. At least Barkley might just forge past two players and rifle it into the top corner. Lallana, Milner, Henderson will never do that.

Very disappointing selection IMO. Wilshire could have had a leg amputated and he would still be in the squad. Had Drinkwater played for Liverpool and Henderson for Leicester would it be the same squad? Would it bollocks. And please don't set me off on James Milner

You don't rate Milner very highly do you Frankies? Big risk taking an "average" player (Milner) as well as injury worries (Sturridge, Wilshere, Henderson) as well as a player who is not (in my opinion) in the best of form (Sterling). Are our expectations being managed already?

Only in cos he's a Liverpool (squad) player. I bet the other countries are cacking themselves worrying about him.

Milner deserves to be in the squad and no doubt will start. I'm no Liverpool fan, but he's had a good season for them. I've never really understood the negativity towards him. I think I'm right in saying he had the most assists in the Premier League this season just gone.
