Centre-back: Chris Smalling
After becoming accustomed to having John Terry and a fit Rio Ferdinand at the heart of our backline, having to watch Phil Jagielka plod about has been a tad demoralising.
Fortunately, Smalling is going to grow into very good player and Jags won’t be anywhere near the plane to Russia.
Centre-back: Gary Cahill
Cahill should remain in the team for the next four years, although his place could come under pressure if Phil Jones forms a successful partnership with Smalling at Man United.
