Id make 2 changes to that. Gomez in for Keane and I’d probably take Henderson out. Although he has looked so much better the last year or so, I honestly don’t think you need him and Rice in the same team against the teams in our group.
I watched the Kosovo v Czech Rep game yesterday and I can tell you that they will put up far more of a fight than Bulgaria did yesterday. I still see England winning but it's not going to be a rout.

You only have to look at the results in this group to know they're a better side than Bulgaria, plus they're unbeaten in 15 games. But yes, no question we should still beat them.
On the subject of Wembley, why is the Kosovo game being played at Southampton?
It is just because they weren't expecting a big crowd or is there another reason it's not at Wembley?
Not sure of the reason other than they probably saw it as the least appeal of the group games.
Its evidently put Kosovo’s nose out of joint a tad though, being arguably their biggest ever game and had made the negotiations of our allocation out there a bit harder, although rumours suggest over 2k at the moment which will be a huge result.
Someone posted a while back how they wouldn't go to Wembley for an international because it was full of tourists.
I thought they were being miserablist.
My experience today: I was in my seat 5 minutes before kick off. 20 minutes later people were wandering in with trays of fish and chips, oblivious to what was happening on the pitch.
kane was teeing up for his first penalty when a group of people wandered up the steps. I'm afraid I shouted "get the fuck down" at them. The pen went in, there was a great cheer, the people walking up the stairs looked a bit surprised and half turned towards the pitch.
10 minutes before the end of the first half, a corner. About 100 people decided tyhat what was important right now was to get to the food queues early and set off down the steps.
I would happily see them next tuesday. I don't think I will be going back to internationals at Wembley until these arseholes are dealt with.
It’s always like that. I gave up for a while saying I’d only bother if it’s a game with some history/bite, but even the last Scotland game was pretty average.
I just pray our group games next summer are a bit better otherwise it will be painful.

The ease of the game will be determined how long they hold out for.

It is a bit insulting really, playing a Euro qualifier away from Wembley, and not even at one of the "iconic" venues like Old Trafford.
Them 3 together would not be for me but individualy all good. I like Barkley although he dont score enough. We dont have a box to box midfielder scoring since Lampard/Gerrard. I think Maddison could be the player that suits this England team. But id like to see him and Barkley together with either Henderson or Rice sitting. We do not need both Rice and Henderson playing together. Maddison will pop up and score goals a la Lampard, Scholes,Platt

Will come back to bite us, I reckon. As I said above, Kosovo as a country are football mad and will be quite upset about not playing at Wembley. It will motivate them even more. We'll do well to get a draw and I suspect there will be 2-3 red cards in the match.

I will donate £100 to charity of your choice if they get a draw.

In the last year Kosovo have drawn at home with Bulgaria and with the Faroe Islands. A draw against them would be an extremely disappointing result. The worst since losing to Iceland.

At home to Kosovo and you think we'll do well to get a draw?
They're in good form but they're still Kosovo, not exactly Spain or Holland.
They have to do something about the empty seats in the middle section. If you want to go to the game, why don't you bloody want to watch it FFS!
I had club Wembley tickets for a while and we got upgraded to that section for the Germany friendly after the Euro's, we were pretty much the only people there after half time and most of those around us seemed to have little interest in the game.

I know what you mean. I’ve been to the last few England home games but didn’t bother yesterday. At the Czech Republic game there were 4 youngish women sitting in front of us, they got there 15 mins in to the game, spent the next 5 mins standing up , pouting and taking photos, had hissy fits when told to sit down and then were constantly on their phones for the rest of the game. Complete waste of time them going to the game and also deprived people who wanted tickets.
I went to spurs v Arsenal at Wembley twice, 2nd one Aubameyang got missed the penalty last season to win the game. Exactly the same, I had to shout at people to move, first 20 mins of the game was the same and last 10. Embarrassing really such an amazing stadium.

I'm not up to speed with the England set up.
That aside I agree, we should be playing Chilwell and TAA when they are fit and available.
Chucking him in after a month of not playing basically guarantees a mistake.
