Swap Lingard for Bellingham and that's my squad.

Some really good players will miss out.

Exactly.

I won't pretend I've watched Bellingham at Dortmund all season, so he may be ripping up trees in the league, but 2 good games isn't enough for a 17 year old to go to the Euros for me.

Saka was in the last squad and pulled out through injury.

You have to look at who they are up against though. As a 4 or 8 Bellingham is up against Rice, Philips, Dier, Henderson (if fit), Ward-Prowse, Barkley so has a decent chance. 4 of these will go. I'd have him ahead of Philips, Dier and Barkley, and Henderson if not 100% fit. If it's a shoot out with Philips I'd go with Bellingham.

Saka is up against Foden, Sancho and Greenwood has he leapt above Foden or Sancho?
 
Tough decision. Bellingham has had a really good season as has Lingard. The Lingard thread previously covers it for me, the team wont be using him as a focal point so I am not sure he will have the success with England as for West Ham. I think i'd take Bellingham of the two.

that was my thought, plus, he has only really had a good 6 weeks, not a good season like Bellingham.
 
Aren't Lingard and Bellingham played in different positions? I would have thought it would be more like Ward-Prowse or Bellingham.
 
Harry Kane went off injured for Spurs tonight, 92nd minute ankle injury, for ****'s sake.

That is a massive, massive blow if he's not fit for the Euros.

Hopefully he’s only tweaked it and out for a couple of weeks.

2 More goals added and overtook Fowler and Defoe in all time lists.

All England PL records are there for him to break if he stays fit and in England

TAA is definitely the sticky one in this - I've put him because if we're playing 3 at the back I'd stick Walker within that 3 like in 2018. I see his future TAA as midfield in a 3 and could double in both positions.

I honestly think there is one really controversial player he will miss out it always happens every year - I've put Grealish in but seriously doubting as to whether Gareth will.

Kalvin Phillips is in but please don't play him with Rice in the same starting XI especially if we're playing 3 at the back.

One of the most seriously contested spots in the starting XI has to be the goalkeeper, no chopping and changing like a Jones and Turnbull scenario - just make the call and keep the faith.

I hope there is a system that gets Mount, Lingard and Foden in the starting XI because they're on fire.

You’re expecting to play 3 at the back and taking only 3 recognised centre halves? 4 if you include Walker?
