100%. Southgate is just a prick and does favouritism. Jack is one of the best player in the world at what he does. Lots of players going that are nowhere near him. It's literally insulting.
Gutted for grealish.
I think it’s probably a mistake not to take Grealish. He offers something that others don’t.
We aren’t privy to his fitness levels etc though.
Can’t imagine Bowen changing a game for England.
If we're honest with ourselves, it doesn't matter who gets in the squad and who doesn't. England will stutter through the group and then get knocked out by the first good team they play.
England won’t get past the quarters with this absolute dipshit in charge.
Never wanted England to fuck it up more than this tournament.
If lewis dunk is international standard im a monkeys unclehang on who the hell is gonna be the centre backs at this tournament.
a half fit John stones and….Guehi with Lewis Dunk as stand in!?
Leave it to you cockerneys must admit was quite impressed with our ladies turning the French over the other night tho please keep that a secret. As for the “men” shout it from the the top of Harrow on th’ill there shiteVery sad attitude and why these England threads are pointless - just openly or secretly wanting your own country (presumably) to lose.
Foden was / is never going to play in his best position because that belongs to Bellend.Grealish had been shafted - the selection means Foden and Gordon are his LW’s so our best player isn’t playing in his best position
It's the total opposite. We want England to win but with waistcoat in charge we've no chance. The most talented player England have had in the last half century will be stuck on the left wing and where no one will pass to him. Don't sayVery sad attitude and why these England threads are pointless - just openly or secretly wanting your own country (presumably) to lose.
Grealish missing out really isn't that controversial if we are being honest, he's not had a better season than foden, Gordon or Eze who are all going to be the main options on the left with numerous others capable of playing there if needed.
The real mad decision is dropping 3 defenders from the list and one of them being branthwaite Who has probably been englands best central defender this season.
looks like stones and Guehi will be the 1st choice, dunk the backup and then you've got two centre backs who haven't been good enough for their club to play centre back and have filled in at fullback instead. If Stones picks up a knock which we all know is highly probable, the defence is truly fucked.
This odd decision is compounded further by the fact that he's actually picked 3 centre forwards, Harry Kane is playing every single minute he declares himself fit, maybe he gets a rest if we are cruising in a group game but otherwise the backup striker isn't getting on nevermind the backups backup.
even if we're chasing a goal he's not ambitious enough to play with 2 strikers which means there's 2 players in the squad purely to give kane 10 minutes rest in a group game if it's going well or potentially come on to take a penalty. Just an utterly bizarre choice. Put branthwaite in for Toney and the squad looks instantly more rounded.
