Even with the form he has been in Lingard isn't that great - he isn't an improvement on their other attacking midfielders.

England's problem in previous tournaments hasn't been picking on reputation it has been trying to shoehorn all of their attacking players into a formation that doesn't make sense. I think Southgate will pick a *more* balanced side - it'll have issues and probably be too defensive but hey.

They probaby won't win it, but they have a good chance
You like your stats per minutes played well Lingard has had a goal involvement every 109 minutes this season, Rashford 127 and Sterling 143. More of Rashford and Sterlings contributions were first half of the season too whilst Lingards we’re 2nd half of season.

He’s clearly the form player and it makes a mockery of Southgate saying he picks on form not reputation.
