My XI, Henderson/Rice is on the basis they get fit before the end of the season and Rashford in for Sterling purely because he’s playing more currently, gutted Grealish is still injured also.

Why do we need more than one holding player ? Not being critical of you ; it just seems to be the narrative that we have to have them.

I’ve seen this point raised a few times, I think A. Henderson isn’t particularly just about holding, he can play a bit. And B. Even if you consider Henderson a holding mid, I think we still have four very attack minded players in that team.
I agree we don’t want to usual sitting back dull England but I don’t think that team is that, what I am against is the formation where he plays 3 CBs, 2 fullbacks and Rice and Henderson.

We need them because you can’t trust the centre halves. Would be a different story if we had a Virgil VD but we don’t...

Hendo isn’t a holding player! He's 2 nr men in 1. Drives the team forward. Everyone use to complain that he only passes backwards as well but a stat came out im sure that he had the most forward passes out of those english players compared against at that time (prev euros or wc cant remember).
Amazing how Henderson, Rashford and Sterling have potentially all gone from guaranteed starters to impact players.
Shows how good our talent pool is right now. We’re a world class CB away from being a top side (on paper)
Don’t forget Sancho and his apparent £100m move to Manchester United last summer. Before covid he was the talk of Europe.
Sancho has 12 goals and 18 assists in 34 games for a massively underachieving Dortmund side. I’d say that wasn’t bad.
Was not doubting Sancho achievements as he is a class player. More showing the unbelieve talent we have in the squad.How many people would put him in there starting eleven for the euros?

I wouldn’t in a generic selection but I guess it depends on the opposition. Someone like Sterling is favourable against a team that’s playing a higher line for example. Sancho, along with Foden and Grealish can break down teams that sit deep, so will be useful in the group games.
This is my selection as well. Great picks! third striker is up for grabs tho. Vardy back for 1 more rodeo obviously ideal (we cry).
id prob take greenwood in front of rash if i had to.
CafcfN90 whats ur starting 11?
Tough because of the injuries to Henderson and Grealish. At the moment probably something like:
Pickford (would pick Pope but Pickford has championship experience) Trippier, Stones, Maguire, Chilwell (not against Shaw, it's close) Rice Mount Foden, Grealish, Sterling (not against Sterling right, Grealish left, Foden centre) Kane
Against the better teams I'd play 4231, bringing in Henderson for one of the attacking 4.
Henderson coming back to start for England reminds me of Rooney in 2004.
Henderson won't be match fit and hasn't shown anything this year to deserve to start.
Rice, Mount and Bellingham in central midfield for me.
I really like Henderson but I agree entirely.
Yeah i needed a half like button, personally if he is fit he is in there. I would hope Henderson being the professional he is, if he wasn't 100% he would sit it out. Well see its getting dangerously close, the same with Grealish. Massive shame but we do have alot of talent for England these days so if Rice can step up and then gives the opportunity for someone like Bellingham & Mount to run the middle of the park.
Excitement building big time now. So many of our players are going to be involved in European finals now, just need to get through that and the Riverside friendlies unharmed!
Just wish the FA would pull their finger out and let all the ESTC members know if they have tickets or not!
Personally I cannot see Henderson going. He hasn't played in so long I don't think he is going to make it fitness wise. It's been very quiet from LFC and Klopp. Seems Rice and Grealish are just a week or so away from making a return which is great news.
Loving Foden and Mount currently. Both 100% starters for me, no question.

Assume you mean the 2006 World Cup, because Rooney was unplayable at the 2004 Euro's.
Henderson is back running and will start full training soon. He should be able to play a Liverpool game before the end of the season and would then be available for England's pre-tournament friendlies. Not the same as Rooney who by his own admission years later was injured and should never have gone to the tournament.
Grealish returned from injury last night. Good for him to get a couple of games in and show Southgate he's ready. Declan Rice is apparently ready to return this weekend, and Klopp says Henderson 'should be fit' for the Euro's as well.
Sancho has to be in the squad. I know he won't get the attention of players playing here but he's probably our most in form attacking player. 16 goals and 19 assists this season, the majority of those coming in 2021.

but playing without a goalkeeper and Dean Henderson in midfield is insane.

He's ending the season superbly well. He has to be picked.
11 goals in his last 18 games.
Play Rashford, United's 3rd best striker instead.

They're certainly better than a midtable Premier League winger or defensive midfielder.
