Doubt he will get picked again tbh. Southgate sounds like he's just making an excuse not to pick him as there are younger RBs
 
Gareth Southgate said:
"They're both in good form for their club, Kyle is also in good form; Kyle is a slightly more defensive fullback, has good qualities with the ball but the other two boys we felt did well last month and didn't feel the decision to change would be the right one."

Well maybe you should stick the “slightly more defensive fullback” into your squad again seeing as you shipped 3 goals against a bunch of fucking part timers you melt.
 
I don't really mind that Walker now gets to rest during international breaks but Southgate leaving him out of the last England squad to just "take a look at" other options, and now not calling him back up this time around because he didn't want to make a change from that seems really unfair on Kyle. Managers need to make tough calls sometimes with their selections, but this whole "not dropping him but dropping him" thing Southgate is trying to do here feels a little distasteful.



Walker has fallen down the pecking order and Southgate is just being diplomatic.
 
England careers mostly seem to go backwards when players sign for us, mostly due to the negative press they suddenly get upon signing.

Barry went from great for England to suddenly not being good enough.

People forget but Milner was suddenly vilified quite a bit for his Euro 2012 appearances.

Stones got picked on even more after signing for City than he did before.

Sterling went from being a great young English talent to even having his inclusion in the squad questioned and only managed to turn this around after calling out the media.

Walker went from being first choice right back at Spurs, ahead of Trippier, to suddenly not being able to get in the England squad ahead of Trippier, and despite being first choice right back for one of the greatest English club sides of all time.
