England really are an international side that splits the country in half, each and every time they play.

A 1-0 win away to Slovakia kicked off Sam Allardyce's new World Cup qualifying campaign and to some, it was a good result away from home with no injuries suffered.

But for others, it was the same old England, huffing and puffing with little result until Adam Lallana's last-minute strike secured the points. It may be a victory but sometimes it's about how you go about winning and for the Three Lions, it seems like we're lacking that ruthless edge needed to compete with the world's best.

So with that in mind, we're keen to take a look and see if there were any players that deserve to be in the next England squad announcement, after what we saw on Sunday evening. Should some of the figures in the squad this time round be watching very closely over their shoulders?

Here's our list of the three players that must be in the next England squad announcement...

Marcus Rashford

Without a shadow of a doubt, our easiest pick on this list.

Marcus Rashford has proved, once again, that he has every right to be competing for places alongside the likes of Harry Kane, Jamie Vardy and Theo Walcott.

He has proved himself for United already this season, scoring a vital goal in a 1-0 away win at Hull. He has done it for the England U21s, scoring a hat-trick on his debut against Norway on Tuesday.

If there is anyone who deserves to be in the next squad announcement purely on merit, it's the young United man.

Lets just hope Sam will be bold enough to pick players on form.

Luke Steele

This might seem like a slightly strange decision, but hear m4 out. When Jack Butland is fit, he should be our number one. Joe Hart has been inconsistent at best and why he's still a surefire starter is absolutely beyond me.

But one goalkeeper that has been really knocking at the door has been Panathinaikos number one Luke Steele, who is now in his third season with the Greek giants.

He's shown fantastic form out in Greece and it's common knowledge that Roy Hodgson had been keeping tabs on his performances through Andrea Stramaccioni, the manager at the Apostolos Nikolaides Stadium.

There's no reason why the former Barnsley man shouldn't be given a chance, especially with injury to Butland and Hart's loss of form. He has experienced all that Greece has to offer - competitive football, difficult conditions and of course, the famed cauldron atmosphere, and there's no reason why he wouldn't be a good choice in the future.

A gamble and a bold move but one that would show only the best is tolerated- which is what we need right now.

Scott Dann

I think Gary Cahill is a solid defender for his club and he's an honest footballer but at international level, the jury is out on him.

With all due respect, playing against Slovakia and then against the likes of Spain, Italy and Brazil should we reach the World Cup finals is a different matter. I wouldn't feel comfortable with him being between our goal with the likes of Neymar, Iniesta and Insigne bearing down on him.

I think it's time for a change and one man whose name certainly should be in the hat is Crystal Palace defender Scott Dann, who quite frankly, I'm astonished hasn't been given the chance in an England shirt.

He's shown since his early days with Coventry and Birmingham that he's developed into a mature, solid defender capable of marshalling a back-four in the best league in the world. He's got a bit of pace about him and reads the game fantastically well.
