    That team has ignominious defeat to Slovakia and down to nine men written all over it.

    In fact, any feasible team does.

    As long as 'Wazza' isn't involved then we've a shot.

    Interestingly, my Mac autocorrected 'Wazza' to 'Gazza'

    You don't need to play with wingers. Just fight like fuck and let Vardy mong about up front and Kane finish everything off.

    Townsend isn't the worst shout to have on the bench, you know. Probably more of a cup player than a league player. He only needs to get it right once.

    If you're going to play Kane you might as well have Albrighton in there as well.

    Get Danny Simpson at right back.

    I'd be surprised if Defoe wasn't on the reserve list.

    Keane was apparently watching some fella for Brentford at the weekend. It'll be a mockery if he gets included even on a standby list.

    I hope Townsend is taken. I prefer him to Walcott for example.

    Walcott is hopeless thesedays. He'll be at West Ham in a couple of years.

    Alternatively, what about building the side around Oxlade-Chamberlain?

    I'd take Defoe as a goal chasing sub, especially now Welbeck's injury has freed up a spot.

    Wellbeck being out changes nothing as he plays on the wing anyway. You'd have to swap to a 4-4-2 which nowadays unless you're totally dedicated to it and have the midfield to cope (Atletico, Leicester, occasionally Juve) you just get overrun.

    Nah, start him with Kane and Vardy. Milner, Dier and Alli in midfield.

    4-3-3

    His tournament stats:
    World Cup 3 apps, 1 goal
    Euros 1 app, 0 goals

    So it's not Rooney we're talking about, where everybody watching knows the outcome.

    Defoe plays up top on his own for Sunderland. Also Roy keeps switching between 4-4-3 and 4-4-2 diamond.

    Well Joe Ledley's either 'broke his leg' (Sky) or 'fractured his fibula' (Crystal Palace), so he's out of the Wales squad for sure.

    One of the rumours on the BBC this morning was that Jesse Lingard will go in place of Welbeck, but I still can't see it not being Sterling.

    Danny Welbeck's out for nine months:
    Quote Originally Posted by Arsenal's website

    Specialists determined surgery was required after scans and tests revealed significant cartilage damage.

    The 25-year-old was injured during Sunday’s match at Manchester City. Danny will miss the Euro 2016 Championship in the summer and his full recovery is expected to take approximately nine months.

    Since returning to action in February after injuring his left knee in May last year, Welbeck’s impact has been telling - scoring five times, including the recent winner against Norwich City at Emirates Stadium.

    Everyone at Arsenal will be working hard with Danny throughout his recovery and look forward to seeing him back on the pitch as soon as possible.

    It didn't look particularly serious when he came off, so would that suggest they have missed a longer-term problem?

    Nah different knee. He's fucked his meniscus which from what I gather is the muscle that stops your kneecap from smashing into the socket.

    These things can be quite innocuous when they first happen.

    I'm sure Lucas played on for a bit (the whole match?) when he did his, and then was out for a year.

    Alderweireld & Vertonghen are good. It's the lack of depth that's an issue really. Lombaerts is probably just about good enough from what I've seen.

    In fairness they're missing their best one through injury and the Tottenham pair are better than most in the tournament.
