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
