And ?
Prediction : Last 16.
Keepers : Hart, Forster, Ruddy
Defenders : Jagielka, Smalling, Jones, Cahill, Walker, Shaw, Baines
Midfielders : Carrick, Gerrard, Henderson, Wilshere, Barkley, Townsend, Ox-Chamberlain, Sterling
Forwards : Rooney, Sturridge, Welbeck, Rodriquez (over Lambert)
Torn on Lallana for Townsend and also on either Davies or Caulker for Smalling.
Lampard misses out simply because we have enough central midfielders and not enough wide players (so I included Townsend, Ox-Chamberlain & Sterling) - though I've no doubt that Hodgson will include him.
I've left Johnson out, unless he regains form, for an extra midfielder. Jones or Smalling are capable of standing in at RB if anything happens to Walker.
Sterling is not only one of the best (young) attacking talents in England (Europe) at the moment he is also excellent defensively.
Gerrard has been superb as DM and can continue there at international level.
Baines is not only a great full back he makes a great winger and he's also a deadly deadball exponent on a level with Suarez so gets the nod over Welbeck on the right wing.
Barkley has been sensational for Everton and is not only better than Wilshire but far less volatile.
Milner / Cole / Barry left out - time to give youth some experience.
Starting Eleven :
............................................. Hart
Walker ................. Jones ................ Cahill ............... Shaw
........................................... Gerrard
Sterling ...............................Barkley ..........................Baines
................................................................Rooney
............................. Sturridge
