Can’t work out if cb or cm is the weakest area for England. The lack of talent in those areas is crazy.

I think midfield is still our biggest issue despite the lack of quality options at CB.

Given the importance of that area I’d probably agree. But in terms of actual talent and depth it’s a difficult one to choose.

The better English CB’s are Gomez & Maguire imo.

Chris Basham
Conor Coady
Eric Dier
Lewis Dunk
Joe Gomez
Rob Holding
Mason Holgate
Phil Jones
Michael Keane
Jamaal Lascelles
Harry Maguire
Ben Mee
Tyrone Mings
Jack O'Connell
Chris Smalling
Jack Stephens
John Stones
James Tarkowski
Fikayo Tomori
Axel Tuanzebe
Adam Webster
Ben White

Read that list, understand that southgate has to pick 4 of them and you realise why Smalling probably should go.

Yes.

Now do the same list for midfield.

I'm not sure I have the mental fortitude to get through the truly depressing list of midfielders

Not including the number 10s, where we actually look pretty decent tbf

Hamza Choudhury
Nathaniel Chalobah
Lewis Cook
Jack Cork
Tom Davies
Fabian Delph
Eric Dier
Isaac Hayden
Jordan Henderson
Will Hughes
Jake Livermore
Ruben Loftus-Cheek
Sean Longstaff
John Lundstran
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Ben Pearson
Kalvin Phillips
Declan Rice
Jonjo Shelvey
James Ward-Prowse
Ashley Westwood
Harry Winks

That's worse than our CB options.
