So the end of the season is approaching which means the Euros is just around the corner.
I believe UEFA have agreed to increase the squad size from 23 to 26 if I am not mistaken.
So if that is the case what is your 26 man squad?
Mine is
GOALKEEPERS
1. Nick Pope
2. Jordan Pickford
3. Dean Henderson
DEFENDERS
4. Kyle Walker
5. Trent Alexander-Arnold
6. Luke Shaw
7. Ben Chilwell
8. Harry Maguire
9. John Stones
10. Lewis Dunk
11. Tyrone Mings
12. Michael Keane
MIDFIELDERS
13. Mason Mount
14. Phil Foden
15. Kalvin Phillips
16. Jude Bellingham
17. James Maddison
18. Jordan Henderson
19. Jesse Lingard or Declan Rice (If Fit)
ATTACKERS
20. Mason Greenwood
21. Harry Kane
22. Bakayo Saka
23. Jadon Sancho
24. Dominic Calvert Lewin
25. Raheem Sterling
26. Marcus Rashford
Squad is in no particular order.
What about yours?
Your England 26 Man Squad

They do across all positions, it’s a more balanced squad of talent, we’re just strong in a few areas. And they’ve got experienced tournament winners. Failing to get to the semis because we get knocked out by them or France isn’t this criminal act you make it. You’ve got unrealistic views of England.

I think we have a better attack, unless some of these players aren't as good as we think based on what we've been seeing from them recently.
Going out to France would be more understandable. Portugal is a team we should be looking to beat. Not that I don't rate them but they are certainly closer in quality to us.

We have better depth in attack, yes. But they’re stronger across midfield, defence and goal keeper. It’s just a better balanced squad than ours.
They’re along with France the strongest team in the competition due to this. It’s got experienced tournament winners.
England have the attacking talent to knock out both of these. But as things stand these two teams are stronger than us. It’s just reeeetarded to think semis is the minimum requirement when you can potentially face one of the two best teams in the competition in the second round.

Our weakest point is without doubt our defence. If only we had a Van Djik or Ruben Dias esque defender, I would then make us one of the favourites, if not the favourite.

It's why I think we have to play a 3 against the better teams. Maguire and stones aren't winning a tournament.

As long as we don't play with 2 holding midfielders alongside that 3/5 at the back. If just places too much pressure on the wing backs to provide defensive and offensive support and if they can't get out and end up being pinned, the 3 forward players won't be able to do enough.

It’s actually central midfield. Rice, Henderson, Phillips, Bellingham and Fraud-Prowse is a worse set of options than what we have at cb.

Laporte can't get a spot in the French defense so likely he will join the Spanish team at the Euro.

Didn’t realise Ings was fit again. He needs to be in the squad.

I'd class Mount as a CM and between him, Henderson, Rice and Bellingham, that's a pretty solid midfield line up. Maguire and Stones are our 2 best CB's and they are not exactly great.
