Plus a reserve team game where he tried to strangle a kid to death.

Sanguine As above, pretty happy with the squad. Are we not heavy on defenders though?
You've got Maguire, Stones, Jones and Cahill as centre-backs, and Walker who can play there. Then you have Walker, Trippier and Alexander-Arnold who can play right-back, and Rose, Young and Delph. Surely we could have lost a wing-back (Delph) for another midfielder?

Just to clarify this is the official FA announcement of the squad

Royal Rother Absolutely laughable.
6 full backs and no creative midfielder.
Please tell me it’s a joke.
Wilshere may not quite be the player I want him to be but he has proved his fitness, and has had a decent enough season.
And then there’s Shelvey who has been in blinding form.
It could be said that both Wilshere and Shelvey have “issues” of one sort or another but they have flair and can open up defences - none of that squad have that ability. (Maybe Loftus-Cheek but I’ve still not seen enough of him.)

Royal Rother I do not believe that either Young or Delph would have been selected for their potential contribution to the midfield alone.

Royal Rother Walker is there to play centre half?
You keep more current than I do I suspect but that would really surprise me.

Hoop Blah and it's untested and unproven at the back which is a bit of a concern.

He played the last two games there and excelled. It shouldn’t be too much of a surprise to someone willing to lambast the manager for his selections really...

genome Saw this phenomenal stat on Twitter:
Ashley Young is the first player called Young to be the oldest player in a World Cup squad since Choi Young-Il in 1998

Quite the opposite I’d have thought.

Made this point earlier, but it's a defence that has conceded just once from open play in eight games, including clean sheets against Germany and Brazil, and just that penalty against Italy.
