Wouldn’t be surprised if we lose to NM, prompting a national debate which unsettled the team with our best chance in decades. Panicked last minute changes to the team, to placate the vocal minority, lead to being dumped out at the first knockings, and The Sun and certain sections of social media blames the player with the darkest skin. It’s at tale as old as time.
Grealish over Sterling is a madness
Grealish has been injured for most of the season- And even then, since returning, he’s been one of our best players.
I’d be surprised if anyone new comes into the squad for the euros. I can only see James, Shaw and Chilwell being included. Maybe Sterling if Rashford form persists.
I’d be livid if I was JWP or Gordon
Goalkeepers: Sam Johnstone (Crystal Palace), Jordan Pickford (Everton), Aaron Ramsdale (Arsenal)
Defenders: Levi Colwill (Chelsea), Lewis Dunk (Brighton & Hove Albion), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Fikayo Tomori (AC Milan), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle United), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)
Midfielders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Jordan Henderson (Al-Ettifaq), Kalvin Phillips (Manchester City), Declan Rice (Arsenal)
Forwards: Jarrod Bowen (West Ham United) Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), James Maddison (Tottenham Hotspur), Marcus Rashford (Manchester United), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa), Callum Wilson (Newcastle United)
Midfielders representing: Liverpool, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City & Al-Ettifaq
I’m sorry but that is absolutely hilarious
2 world class midfielders and then nothing 😂
Pleased for Johnstone but lack of Pope is baffling when Ramsdale isn’t playing regularly.
Southgate, for better or worse, has never picked players on how frequently they are playing
Lack of Gordon when Rashford is playing like ass is baffling too
Throw Maguire into the mix too when there’s probably other defenders playing regularly/better than him. Nice to see Tomori in the squad after people saying he wasn’t getting picked because he wasn’t playing in the Prem. Not sure if Henderson still being picked has anything to do with it.
No, Maguire for once is okay to be selected.
I’d like to see a Bellingham-Rice-Trent midfield
There’s a good chance of that in easier games for sure
Sounds like Dele, Dier, Rooney from 2016
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
30 million able bodied adult males to chose from and Henderson is still in the squad. SMH.
My grandad is furious he hasn’t been called up.
Has Captain Tom ever played as a 6?
No Reece James god bless
Maguire Phillips and Henderson 😴😴
No Anthony Gordon seems really harsh and I’m not even a Newcastle fan.
Glad he’s getting rest tbh, he’s looked dead on his feet the last couple games. If he keeps playing this well, his time will come
He’ll be with the U21s rather than getting a rest I should think.
Yeah he wasn’t particularly fluid vs Dortmund but no really was for Newcastle. Apart from livramento, he looked good.
Usually, I’d be with you, but this time I’m thrilled. He desperately needs a break, looked wrecked against Dortmund.
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.
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.
No mention of Palmer?
Jones is out injured until after the break anyway
God, I hope John Stones is fit when the Euros come around
I thought something looked off at the back
The problem is we need him as a CB and a DM. Cloning tech can’t come soon enough
Can’t imagine being English and seeing Henderson as a legit regular call up. I know we called up Krychowiak from the same shithole, but we have 3 straight thinking midfielders at best. Having England’s talent pool and going for the captain of Al Ettifaq is just pathetic.
There’s zero incentive to get in form for Southgate world. I’m starting to think he doesn’t even watch games.
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.
