I’m not sure what Colwill has done to deserve a call up. I’ve not been impressed with him. Injured a lot as well.
I would take him because I think the control he brings is important, particularly in tournament football where you need to have different options. No one else can do what he does.
Maguire and Shaw are useless.Makes sense imo. All this excited talk of Rice, Bellingham and Foden starting in midfield is exactly why England couldn't win a major tournament with Gerrard and Lampard in midfield. Rice is a box-to-box, Bellingham is a false nine, Foden sort of plays in the channels. You can't have them all playing when there's nobody there stitching it together. Arteta understands that to get the best out of Rice you need someone like Jorginho or Partey there as a workhorse. France understood it in 98 when they had Deschamps and Petit carrying the load for Zidane. Ordinarily it would have been Phillips but considering he's a broken man now I was half expecting it to be Henderson. Jones might fit the bill. Could also do worse than having Conor Gallagher or Alexander-Arnold there as well.
Pickford
Walker, Stones, Maguire, Shaw
Gallagher/TAA, Rice
Saka/Palmer, Bellingham, Foden
Kane
Think there's a lot going for that team.
Guess his ability to play left back is the main reason he’s involved.I’m not sure what Colwill has done to deserve a call up. I’ve not been impressed with him. Injured a lot as well.
Disagree but even if they were England can't really do better at the moment.Maguire and Shaw are useless.
Fucking stupid, history shows the international tournament winners always have a strong contingent of national champions in the squadNo Grealish would just be a mad decision to be honest. He’s very experienced now and no one can bring control to the left side like he can, which would be invaluable against the stronger teams. Still looks a good squad but typical Southgate, what a tit he is.
I guess so. Watching him at Chelsea, I think he’s been poor at left backGuess his ability to play left back is the main reason he’s involved.
