We will be playing 3 at the back in Russia and one of those if fit will be Jones.
Think if we're to do that we need to start concentrating on the formation - Other than Lithuania; Southgate has never really given the three at the back much thought and soon wont have many games to try it

Gomez, Stones and Jones then! Just so long as not Cahill...
I think it should be Stones, Keane, Gomez as a back three. With keane the solid defender staying back and the other two can push forward when required with the ball etc

Some of you are bonkers if you think Joe is starting in Russia. They have brought in a bunch of youth and fringe players to get experience and to compete for last spot or two in the roster. At best, joe impresses, makes the roster barely but doesn’t play. More realistically he doesn’t make the squad but is in the conversation for Qatar

Agreed, to me his call up seems a bit premature, he's hardly played any games in the PL and needs to establish himself there first. Liverpool have played him at RB, Walker, Clyne and Trippier are all well ahead of him
They'll hopefully have the opportunity to show what they can offer but I'm pretty sure Southgate's just taking a provisional look. If this International break contained competitive games would we have seen them? I doubt it. Talk of the World Cup is very premature but if any of the three stand out then who knows?
I asked Paddy Power on twitter before the season started what odds they'd give me on Joe being in the squad in Russia. They only offered 10-1 so I didn't take it , wouldn't get that now I'd think.

I think we had a sell on for another player and that only triggered for competitive internationals.
People dislike inaccuracies these days.
Oh, I see what you're saying...
Fully deserved recognition.
Bless his cotton socks !

Edit, would help if I posted the link.

Nice words from Joe about his time at Charlton.
