England Squad - Euro 2024

[madloaf]

Whether grealish should have got in or not, Ivan Toney has done nothing to justify getting in - so the bollocks about "people having better seasons" is just nonsense. 4 goals - and a ban for betting. Top season that. Well deserved.

England won’t get past the quarters with this absolute dipshit in charge.

Didn’t watch previous tournaments then with this dipshit in charge ?

 

[BlueHammer85]

Never wanted England to fuck it up more than this tournament.

Very sad attitude and why these England threads are pointless - just openly or secretly wanting your own country (presumably) to lose.

Looking at this squad you’d of thought Southgate used to have some affiliation's to palace ,

 

[Man_City_Loyal]

lets be honest, rest up jack for next season now.

He wouldn't get the game time.

I'll put money on it, the buffon we have as manager for England will play Phil out of position or even on bench

 

[Bluesince1979]

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 shite

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

Foden was / is never going to play in his best position because that belongs to Bellend.

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 say
Bellend because he plays for number one and Plodder is incapable of a forward pass and needs another holding midfielder to hold his hand (probably Gallagher or, God forbid, Mainoo). He'll also play Saka on the right and he'll spend more time on his arse or face down on the turf.

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.

All it takes is Kane getting injured and only having 2 strikers looks silly. You could name a lot of players in a squad that wouldn't get minutes in a tournament with limited games.
