Jenks Gibbs, Jack, Ox and Theo should all be included in the England finals squad. We aren't going to win it and last 8 is our mark at best. But if we take only players who will be around and be at the top in 4 yrs time ( those 28 or under now) we would be much more competitive in euro 2016 and world cup 2018.
If we take the same old players ( the golden age ) that turned out to be fools gold time and time again, we will be back to square one again.

Gerrard has given his all and last night should be a great way to end his England career and make way for the future.

Are you serious?! Drop Gerrard? You must be joking.

First of all I hate the idea of going there as also runs. We at least have to give it our best shot.

Secondly if Gerrard deserves to go he should go. Best players go. Not the best players in 2018.

I think for this WC, Cole and Banes are ahead of Gibbs. Maybe Cole should make way afterwards.

Jack and Theo - yes
OX - he will have to compete with Townsend and Wellbeck. I think he's better but form when he returns will dictate.

Jenks - not ready yet.

I agree with you sloth they will be the two who go but
Baines has to be no.1 for lb now and does Cashly really want to be his no. 2, don't get me wrong for England he has been the best and most consistent defender for over 10 years, but in that heat as Baines understudy? Ox well he went to euro's and Brazil last summer be a shame to waste that experience and not build on it.
As for Jenks he was always a punt but unless we can make a real challenge we might as we'll use the finals for experience for those who will be around next time, much as Germany did last time and it went rather well for your them in the end.
We have to come home with more hope and belief in our future this time than we did 4 yrs ago in SA
