England friendlies

Cack against Turkey IMO. Looked OK going forward but the defence is a huge concern and will get molested by any quality team. 
The worry is that Hodgson is only taking 3 CBs to the tournament: Cahill, Stones and Smalling. Stones has positional problems and their is no back up if there are injuries apart from Eric Dier who could play CB at a push.
Also depends on which FBs are playing because if it's Rose and Clyne who both push on all the time, the CBs will get even more exposed and I'm not convinced they can cope.  

I think we might get found out at the Euros.

Centre back is a big worry now, we don't have the quality like we used to have. I would have taken Jagielka as an extra centre half as he and Cahill always did ok as a pair.

I can't think of any other good English centre backs to be honest who could even come in, there was talk of Scott Dann at Palace but he isn't international quality in my opinion, perhaps they need to beg Terry to come back for the summer?

If I was manager, I'd move Dier back to partner Cahill in the centre of defence and start Wilshere and sit him Infront of the defence.

We've only just found a decent defensive midfielder, you can't move Dier. Particularly as him and Alli seem to have a good understanding together. 

We are weak at centre back though, Smalling and Cahill aren't up to it but we don't have many other options.

Rob Holding could get a call up with a couple of injuries, £10m please Mr Wenger

Wilshere is on dog's leg vis a vis injuries and form and personally I think that there's a chance he won't make the final squad despite Woy being his biggest fan. He just hasn't played that much and when he has he hasn't been at his best. Henderson is in a similar position.
Jagielka would be a a good shout for CB cover but that means Woy won't be able to take an extra striker. I reckon Sterling has been right off the boil recently so even he might not make it and I'm not sure what Woy will do if he has to restrict his forward options.
But if he does risk taking only 3 CBs I suppose it would be pretty unlucky to lose them both in a 6 or 7 game tournament. Might be a risk worth taking.

RH said one of the reasons he wasn't taking Walcott,was his lack of game time,yet he'll happily take Wilshere,who's been a spectator this season.
Rumour is,he'll cut Drinkwater,which is bonkers imo.

I think Woy prefers Milner in the water carrying department, but it would be daft not to have DD around.

Danny Dyer?

No, David Dickinson.
