Trippier can play there.

Phillips will
That selection is a bit of a shock.
I’d have preferred no United players in the squad, though I don’t know how much Maguire and Rashford will play.
Right-footed. Far from ideal.
Gallagher is such a bland player but someone like JWP is even worse.
Considering most international managers will always be loyal to some players, those selections are as good as you can hope for if you're an England supporter.

A right footed RB, or a RW then, phew.
True, it's just so underwhelming and there are very few game changers.
Not ideal but Trippier has played there on a few occasions for England and so has Saka. Saka did initially come through at Arsenal as a LWB/LB but hasn't played there since he moved to RW to Arsenal.
Good squad
Don’t think any surprises looking at it. As you say Maddison who has been great this season isn’t really a surprise. My immediate thought is we look dangerously light on midfielders.
Gareth "I'll pick players on merit and form, not their names" Southgate.
Proceeds to pick Phillips, Henderson, Maguire and Trent
feck off man.

feck off man.Perhaps I'm in the minority but I do think our squad looks decent. Good enough to go on a deep run in this shitehole tournament.
Graham Southgate's last ever squad selection.
Funny thing is, Trent won't even play. Southgate has no idea how to use himGareth "I'll pick players on merit and form, not their names" Southgate.

If he tries Saka again at left back, I will literally piss my pants with laughter
How does Bowen not deserve a squad place. He’s a brilliant player. Much prefer him over Grealish and probably Rashford. We’ve got a great squad tbf. Shame the manager we have won’t use it to its potential
Yeah those two factors have played a part,certainly would have taken a good penalty but needed to feature pre World Cup
Yeah, i don't think he could've picked much better. Lets be honest, whoever he left behind (i.e. Toney) wasn't going to make it on the pitch anyway.
Coady over Tomori is a joke. Wilson over both Abraham and Toney is equally stupid but it is mostly the best England can do considering the injuries and form.
Left wing-back, he played there before for Arsenal and England.
Depends on who we get in the knockouts, if we get lucky as we have the last 2 tournaments then maybe.
I reckon we lose against the first good team we play against, so it depends who we get.
Selecting Phillips is an absolute scandal after how little he has played this season.
Considering penalties are one of the areas where England should do better, JWP should have been included just for that.
Gallagher, Maddison and Mount is way too similar. I would have added someone like Toney just for his physicality .
Philips hasn't played at all and yet he is in. Tomori is one of the best defenders in Serie A and has performed better than all of the defenders included.

Not enough defenders and defensive midfielders.

Wilson is miles better then Abraham, it's not even close. Don't think there's much between him and Toney either.
Watching the press conference, some of the questions are so dumb; "do you think Kalvin Phillips will be able to play in 10 days". He played last night.
If he doesnt play Bellingham who is one of the best midfielders in europe right now, then Southgate is even worse than I thought.
It was a pretty low bar.
Yeah think JWP unlucky to miss out again,admittedly still not in the form of last World Cup but has set piece ability.
Gallagher has been shite this season too hasn't he? Forgot about him.
I reckon Maguire if fit will play every freaking minute. Southgate thinks he is Franz Beckenbauer
Decent squad tbh. Wouldn't change much.
Glad for our lads who got picked.
As others have said the betting thing has probably made his mind up about Toney if he hadn't already. Abraham has not been great this season. Tomori has not been as good this season as is the case for A C Milan. Gallagher does surprise me. Glad Maddison is in.
Got no issue with Wilson selection but clearly there is something about Tomori Southgate has never taken to
I agree, I'd rather take Toney than Wilson, or you take them both. Toney is one of those players that you have to take just an all round menace, if he was playing for any of the top 6 or Newcastle and he had the exact same characteristics and performances he'd be a no brainer.
