Clarke’s World Cup squad prioritises defensive stability and midfield grit while keeping attacking options open for pace, movement and set-piece threats
It does have the make up of a solid, iron curtain look about it, which could make them hard to break down in the USA. My one reservation is the goal keepers. I don't rate Gunn and Gordon is over the hill, Liam Kelly is decent, if he gets the nod.
None of them are number ones, all three are backups and have around 15 games max combined. Its a position that you could probably get away with - but still its not great having your number that's sat on the bench or the stand for much of the season.
