Yes or No?
I imagine this means Guehi and Colwill as the starting centre backs against Greece with Lewis or Trent at left back and Lewis, Trent or Walker at right back.
I was born in 91 so I never watched him. After seeing him on a recent pod and reading the comments I watched his highlight reel.
I was proper blown away, I can’t believe England ever produced a player with that natural flair. Even to this day I’ve never seen an england player play with such audacity, skill, speed and power.
He looks like a player from the famous brazil sides. Now we have Cole Palmer, who definitely plays a beautiful style. Tho not the same as Barnes. Palmers off the ball awareness is probably the best I’ve seen already from an england player. Crazy footballing IQ.
I think if people respond to this - Gazza will come up, maybe that’s true. I just can’t explain how surprised I was tho, seeing an English player playing like that. Kinda made me sad, we can produce players like that but I think English managers now have always played rigid styles. Maybe Tuchel will change that and allow more freedom of our greats.
I believe Trevoh Chalobah will be called up in 2025 - Reasons being he is now in good form for Crystal Palace, that he has worked with Tuchel before and he plays in a position of less depth
I think he’s a player who’s very likely to break into the squad within the next year, March will be too soon but assuming he plays a lot for Arsenal (which he will do), is it realistic to say he’ll get called up during next season‘s September fixtures?
What do you think? Bear in mind he’s only 17 and playing most weeks for one of the best teams in the country.
I say yes he is in good form and might be better for the squad than some others.

Since the start of last season no player has registered more assists in the UCL than Bellingham(6). For England Bellingham was a key figure registering 4 goals and 3 assists for England including MOTM performances against the likes of Scotland, Italy, Serbia and Slovakia and his bicycle kick famously saved England from embarrassment. While his goalscoring did decrease at the turn of the year his performances were still consistently good and he had excellent work rate as he always helped the team defensive with tackles and interceptions while contributing offensively aswell. Rodri was absolutely excellent going undefeated while winning 4 big trophies aswell but the nod for me should be giving to Bellingham over him at least due to the abundance of match winning moments Bellingham repeatedly conjured up playing a hybrid midfield role with defensive responsibilities aswell. Rightly or wrongly England losing the Euro final to Spain ended Bellingham’s chances of winning the award for the best player in the world.
The good news is we do not necessarily have to choose between him and Saka.
Kane also jointly won the Gerd Müller Trophy and Mainoo came third for the Kopa Trophy.
He has been on great form since the start of the season. Welbeck is currently the highest goalscorer in the premiership who is eligible to play for England alongside Cole Palmer.
It has been 6 years since he was last selected, but is he worth considering as an option or will Kane, Watkins and Solanke continue to be favoured ahead of him?
We're a fair target now.
