FFS it’s Malta and North Macedonia and you’ve already qualified. Why not use it as an opportunity to try out something new/different - yes I’m annoyed JWP isn’t on the roster, also if Southgate blieballs Tomori by making him travel all the way for training and not even play him he’s a bellend
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
May I be the first to BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO for Henderson?
Absolutely scandalous squad. Wilson went off injured!
Fingers crossed this means he’s fine and Howe was just playing some mind games.
To me it just proves how little Southgate actually watches players, or cares about what he sees. Wilson came off with an injury and has been struggling with losing his pace. He is not right for England at the minute.
Which is hilarious because he gets filmed at quite a few games
Maguire Phillips and Henderson 😴😴
Would have preferred some variety with no internationals for four months after this. Maybe the inclusion of Gordon and Palmer ahead of next summer. Still think Henderson’s repeated selection is a disgrace.
While the rest will do them a world of good so in a sense I’m relieved. But Longstaff, Willock & Gordon have been robbed by pensioners in Saudi & bench warmers ffs.
What are we furious about this ti-nvm it’s obviously Henderson
Literally no matter who he picks, people will be furious. It’s almost like people can have different perspectives and opinions. It’s weird and it makes me angry
No Palmer, but you know what? I am not gonna complain about it.
Is he better than Saka or Foden? Why would he be called up?
Is Palmer really playing that well? All the online hype around his recent stats is completely ignoring all his Chelsea goals have come from penalties.
He’s been arguably Chelsea’s best player in every single game he’s played in, oozes talent and confidence. I’d just like to see him release the ball sooner every so often, but the mentality of “give me the ball I’m gonna make something happen” is sorely needed in the team so I’m happy to overlook that for a bit
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
Yeah he wasn’t particularly fluid vs Dortmund but no really was for Newcastle. Apart from livramento, he looked good.
He’ll be with the U21s rather than getting a rest I should think.
Usually, I’d be with you, but this time I’m thrilled. He desperately needs a break, looked wrecked against Dortmund.
I am outraged that [Insert name] wasn’t included, he has been so good recently for [Insert midtable club]!
It’s such a myth that Southgate doesn’t like calling up mid table players. Look how many Chelsea and Manchester United players are in the squad.
Tbf until recently Lewis Dunk and Brighton could have filled those gaps. I think his performances have justified that reaction.
If Man City signed Dunk and banished him to the reserves for a season, he’d be starting for England. The sad fact is that being associated with a “big 6” team is just far more valuable to Southgate.
If you’re Anthony Gordon, Cole Palmer, James Ward Prowse and Sean Longstaff, you must be thinking “what the fuck do I have to do to get in this squad?”
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
Philips and Henderson ffs man hahah
Apart from JWP, there aren’t really many other options. In my opinion, Gallagher isn’t up to it either.
In reality, in the Euros we will play with Rice, Bellingham and one other so won’t be too bad.
I think Jones could do a bit of a Hendo role - seems more solid defensively and is pretty press resistant
Gallagher’s been very good this season
Gallagher has absolutely been good enough this season imo. Chelsea has been in abit of a state but every time I’ve seen him he hasn’t been the problem.
No Reece James god bless
