You said it. He had to pick Cahil because of the lack of strength in depth. I'm guessing Cahil and Smalling will start.



That is quite sad for England really. Shame Morgan chose to play for Jamaica really.


I doubt he ever thought he'd be picked for England.

Well he's no Bobby Moore. That said, Roy would have had a look at him.

Palmer?

Smalling is arguably our best CB, and thankfully won't be played in midfield.

He was limited in footballing talent but he did give his all for the cause. Had a few pretty effective games in an England shirt.

Can't be Milner, he's of limited ability and makes little effort.
