Excellent, can really see Livermore opening up some of the worlds best defences.
It’s not even the worlds best defences. After the shit of the last few tournaments, just making it to the QF will be an achievement.
So playing against Tunisia and Panama, two teams that will have every man behind the ball, we’re gonna have Jake Livermore to turn too for creating chances and keeping the ball moving.
I don’t mind Southgate tactically but his squad selection in the bigger picture of things is shit.
Surely Wiltshire will be in the provisional squad? He may have his injury problems but he is one of if not the only creative sparks we have in the centre of the park.
Livermore is the antipathy of a statement of intent
Delph deserves a place. I suppose Wilshere does too because he finally managed to go a full season without a major injury but he wouldn't be in my first choice eleven.
England could have a good tournament if most of the players hit form. Not impossible by any means. Not sure we can win it though - Quarters possible but if Kane hits a purple patch, who knows. maybe we could. Could just as likely, even more likely to be honest, hit a bad patch though.
It is best for everybody that we set our expectations low. This should help the team.
Getting out the group is barely an expectation when we’ve got Panama and Tunisia in it. A bit of luck in he second round against Colombia/Japan/Poland/Senegal and we are in a QF, think most will be happy with that.

Quarters should definitely be the aim yet seeing that we've struggled against South American opposition of late, I wouldnt be surprised if we went out in the second round to Colombia - Regardless though, there have been so many underdog cases the last few years (Leicester | Huddersfield | Shrewsbury etc.) that raises the question... Why cant it happen to us on the International stage
Argentina barely qualified with that squad though... They should get out of a Group with Iceland | Croatia | Nigeria yet wont be too surprised if they're one of the customary big teams to fall at the Group Stages

Literally any 4-5 could play and they're still brilliant.
Then we'll see the insane list of players France left at home too.
Embarrassment of riches.

Our central defence and central midfield options are so poor, especially with no Gomez, Milner or Oxlade-Chamberlain.
Jake Livermore might actually get in, which proves it.
