Hello and welcome back to The Lowdown, where today we are picking a 23-man squad for Thomas Tuchel’s 2026 World Cup campaign with England.
3 goalkeepers, 7 defenders, 7 midfielders and 6 forwards… but who did we choose? Is it time to move on from Harry Maguire and John Stones? Is this Trent Alexander-Arnold’s time or could we see the re-introduction of Ben White?
In midfield Declan Rice, Jude Bellingham and Cole Palmer are necessities, but which of Adam Wharton, Morgan Gibbs-White, Morgan Rogers, Phil Foden plus countless others deserve their spots?
Could Ethan Nwaneri or Jamie Gittens make the squad? Have Marcus Rashford, Dominic Solanke or Ollie Watkins done enough to secure their places alongside Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka and Anthony Gordon?

Which England player do you think isn't being talked about enough right now? 👇
That sam is clueless jesus
Pickford Henderson Trafford
TAA James Konsa Guehi Stones Branthwaite Hall MLS
Rice Wharton Bellingham Mainoo Foden Rogers
Saka Palmer Rashford Gordon
Kane Watkins
Harsh on MGW Bowen Gray Spence Anderson Eze CHO Delap Colwill Jones
Henderson, Pope, Trafford
Hall, Skelly
Stones, Guehi, Branthwaite, White
Trent, Livramento
Rice, Wharton, Jones, Bellingham
Saka, Palmer, Gordon, MGW, Rogers
Kane, Watkins, Delap
arguments for CHO, Foden, Bowen, Gittens etc. but MGW & Rogers have the power & intensity to influence off the bench
Won’t pick John Stones because of injuries but picks Reece James haha Chelsea fan too
No mention of Spence at LB/RB? If he continues with his form this year he could be a great option that can cover both sides, can play in both back 4 and 5 too.
Horrible production value from a mainstream channel I had to do double takes
terrible opinions, couldn’t make it past the 11th minute
Terrible ball knowledge Curtis jones has to be in the squad that is honestly shocking
I’m definitely biased, but I think Eze has to been in the squad, but not as a winger. I think being given the freedom to roam around and link-up with wingers suits him much better than playing to 1 side. (I’d take him over Foden).
My 23, 4-3-3
GK. Pickford, Henderson, Trafford
RB. Trent, Livramento
LB. Hall, Skelly
CB. Stones, Konsa
CB. Guehi, Braithwaite
CDM. Wharton, Jones
RCM. Bellingham, MGW
LCM. Rice, Gallagher
RF. Saka, Bowen
CF. Kane, Watkins
LF. Gordon, Rashford
Possibles to come into the Squad: James, Colwill, Gomes, Rogers, Foden, Palmer, Solanke
Tomori
Whos that fella in the middle way the turkey teeth? Never have him on ever again hasnt a clue
Why is Foden not under more scrutiny for his place? He's never done well for England, nobody can decide his best position and what we think it is (in the 10 region) has Palmer and Jude in those spaces. He can't play wide for England either so why bring him?
This whole video is 2 England fans arguing with a Chelsea fan
Okay this is the real England 23 man squad
GK=Pickford /Henderson
RB=Trent,Livramento
CB=Konsa,Maguire
CB=Burn, Branthwaite
LB:Hall, MLS
DM=Rice, Wharton,Gallagher
CM=MGW,Rogers
CM=Palmer,Jude
RM:Saka,
CF:Kane/Watkins
LM:Gordon/Bowen
not having livramento or jones is kinda busted ngl
Making a case for Reece James is hilarious.
Henderson over Mainoo for sure
0
Whoo are this people 😮
Rogers must be in that squad , he can force sth out
So much nonsense spoken in this video.
Plenty of boxes ticked with this one…
Rogers is top 3 ball carriers in the world, how can he not be there
Sam’s reasoning was a bit odd. Contradictions with No Stones because of injuries but then argues Reece James has to be involved. Then Bowen (which I agree) for his XP over Nwaneri but then argues Rogers with lack of XP has to be in. As a Man Utd fan, I can honestly admit currently it’s a no-brainer to choose Jones over Mainoo.
