Lingard has been good for half a season, but he doesn't get close to starting for them with the other midfielders they have, the 26th selection isn't probably going to feature much so I'd probably take TAA ahead of Lingard with a view to future tournaments anyway.
Hes closer to starting for them than an injured Jordan Henderson. As good as Grealish is hes also coming off the back of a fairly long injury. Lingard has been excellent for half a season, the most current half a season, and so makes a mockery of Southgates claims than he picks on form not reputation.

Same old England, picking on reputation not form. It will be their downfall again.

As for the rightbacks they could have taken 3 and still had the options to play different ways. Surely its better to have more match winners than right backs / wing backs.
