He is Englands all time record goal scorer, he is fully fit, he has been playing very well in a deeper roll in the past few months.
He has made several crucial tackles in his own area ( although he could have conceded a pen yesterday).
He headed a goal bound ball away from goal in the FA Cup semi final, and he single handedly [sp] beat half the Palace side to set up United's equaliser yesterday.
England are hardly blessed with top quality midfield players, Alli is brilliant but still has a suspect temperament that the top international players will already be well aware of.
And if Jordan Henderson who is a million miles from international class IMHO makes the squad as a midfielder then god help us.
