Would have preferred some variety with no internationals for four months after this. Maybe the inclusion of Gordon and Palmer ahead of next summer. Still think Henderson’s repeated selection is a disgrace.
You can just copy-paste your rants from October lads, no changes
You’ll need to CTRL F Maguire and replace it with Rashford though given their respective forms… funny how things change in football.
While the rest will do them a world of good so in a sense I’m relieved. But Longstaff, Willock & Gordon have been robbed by pensioners in Saudi & bench warmers ffs.
Jude has a dislocates shoulder leave him alone waistcoat man, you already qualified
Curtis, Gomes,Gordon and Gibbs-white were all so good in the u21s euros and now they are not eligible for the youth teams. Isn’t it sensible to give any of them a callup atleast against malta or north macedonia rather than calling up players with no gametime? Also Gordon is performing way better than rashford.
No mention of Palmer?
Don’t think there’ll be a penalty shoot out. And he isn’t better at penalties than Kane so no reason to include him.
Jones is out injured until after the break anyway
There’s a theory Southgate wants to win EURO 2024 and then quit on a high so isn’t doing any groundwork for beyond that.
But even if that was true, there are some older selections in the squad who aren’t better than the younger players coming through in the here and now.
I am outraged that [Insert name] wasn’t included, he has been so good recently for [Insert midtable club]!
Tbf until recently Lewis Dunk and Brighton could have filled those gaps. I think his performances have justified that reaction.
If Man City signed Dunk and banished him to the reserves for a season, he’d be starting for England. The sad fact is that being associated with a “big 6” team is just far more valuable to Southgate.
It’s such a myth that Southgate doesn’t like calling up mid table players. Look how many Chelsea and Manchester United players are in the squad.
Feel like Southgate keeps including Henderson just to spite everyone who talks shit about him and says we need a new manager, because he’s definitely not doing it for footballing reasons.
Who does he replace?
Saka is Saka and Bowen is 4th highest scorer in the league this season
If you’re gonna play some who usually don’t get a chance can you at least mix it up with some of the usual starters.
Throwing 11 players in who’ve never played together isn’t really a fair representation of what they potentially could offer
Zero left backs, incredible
Hope fans keep booing Henderson
Seeing as we’ve already qualified I think this would’ve been a good time to call up Ezri Konsa.
Who knows what the injury situation could be by next summer and it’d be a benefit to have a bit of experience, even if it’s just training with the squad.
Southgate is so unimaginative omydaysssss
Henderson is in, baffling. Phillips is in, slightly less baffling but still odd. Dunk keeps his spot, all is right with the world.
Doubt he’ll play a weakened side for these with wanting to finish in the top seeds for pot 1 of the Euro 24 draw.
why does Pope never get called up anymore?
