A bit like Ole with Lingard, et al.Predictable squad really.
Some lucky lucky players in this squad:
Stones
Rose
Delph
Hudson-Odoi
Winks
Not sure if Tomori/Mings deserve a place either.
Not much to shout about
"Deserve" has nothing to do with it. Southgate is picking a squad with an eye on the euros and the world cup and beyond.Also CHO frankly doesn't deserve the call either. He has been very poor in the last couple of games.
His international career is effectively ended by virtue of being the 10th best English player in his respective positions.Where is lingard?
He's been pretty crap for Sheffield United this season, hasn't he?Honestly fail to see how any of those three keepers are ahead of Dean Henderson
Solid defense in front of him but great figures so farHe's been pretty crap for Sheffield United this season, hasn't he?
If he was doing that he would be picking Aaron Ramsdale and binning Pope who is painfully average."Deserve" has nothing to do with it. Southgate is picking a squad with an eye on the euros and the world cup and beyond.
He was nominated for Premier League October POTY. He's been class for them.He's been pretty crap for Sheffield United this season, hasn't he?
Sarcasm?He's been pretty crap for Sheffield United this season, hasn't he?
Has more clean sheets than Kepa and De Gea put together.He's been pretty crap for Sheffield United this season, hasn't he?
I didn't say he was shite, did I? I asked if he's been pretty crap this season.Has more clean sheets than Kepa and De Gea put together.
How's he shite again?
You were probably watching when he put Wijnaldum’s shot in to his own netI didn't say he was shite, did I? I asked if he's been pretty crap this season.
If I'm wrong then fair enough, no need to put word in my mouth.
I'm sure I've seen a few blunders from him this season, guess I'm thinking of someone else. Whoops!
It looks like they’re going for an experienced squad and young Lingard is unlucky to miss out. He’s got years ahead of him so no point in rushing him. Worst thing England could do is a repeat of 2006 when they brought Theo Walcott to the World Cup and this is the exact same situation.Where is lingard?
I wish! Or else he'd have Maddison starting so that he's settled by the time the next phase of the Euros start, he'd be introducing Grealish by now, Delph wouldn't be there, Henderson would be making the squad, etc"Deserve" has nothing to do with it.

Even though the age jokes are played out, I liked this oneIt looks like they’re going for an experienced squad and young Lingard is unlucky to miss out.

Apologies if I came off as passive-aggressive. The used qualification term was 'crap' I believe.I didn't say he was shite, did I? I asked if he's been pretty crap this season.

Crap and shite have pretty much the same meaning fyiI didn't say he was shite, did I? I asked if he's been pretty crap this season.

You thought he was poor when he came on against Ajax? Thought he looked really dangerous and created a couple of chances for Tammy. His crossfield switches are fantastic too.Also CHO frankly doesn't deserve the call either. He has been very poor in the last couple of games.
Because he's been one of England's best players recently.Why does he continually pick Barkley? He is dogshit and can only perform when the pressure is off.
Hard to argue with that, although on recent form you might be being generous with 10th.His international career is effectively ended by virtue of being the 10th best English player in his respective positions.
I do genuinely think he's the best prospect England have in that position (based on last season and also what I've seen in interviews, I like my goalies to be a bit cocky).Apologies if I came off as passive-aggressive. The used qualification term was 'crap' I believe.
Sure, Hendo has had a few howlers but every keeper has at least one in him but he's largely had a stellar season so far.
he did concede a weak goal to Georginio Wijnaldum's straight shot that slipped through his hands and go in between his legs apart from that been great.I didn't say he was shite, did I? I asked if he's been pretty crap this season.

I asked if he had been a bit crap this season. I didn't call him crap! There's enough of a difference in my mind! It's not the Crap/Shite comparison I object to.Crap and shite have pretty much the same meaning fyi
Looking dangerous and being dangerous are two entirely different things. He was sprinting at the defense but didn't open them up or get a shot on target. I still think we should continue playing him because he is obviously quality but I'm not going to pretend that he's been playing well when he hasn't.You thought he was poor when he came on against Ajax? Thought he looked really dangerous and created a couple of chances for Tammy. His crossfield switches are fantastic too.
Looks good against shit opposition. Play him against the big boys and you'll see the real Ross.Because he's been one of England's best players recently
Not sure that Wan Bissaka has the attacking ability expected for a modern fullback at the very top level.No Wan Bissaka or Jack Grealish?
Two of the best performing players in the league!
CHO is the only one out of place in that list imo. Stones and Rose are there because their alternatives aren't really pushing them (Jones, Keane Tarkowski, Shaw).Predictable squad really.

Agreed. RLC will take his spot in the Chelsea and England team.Why does he continually pick Barkley? He is dogshit and can only perform when the pressure is off.
Southgate knows what he offers and has decided not to call him up whilst he looks at other options, Walker will go to the Euros with TAAWhy doesn’t Kyle Walker play for England anymore ? Must be Pep’s instructions or something.
Should be in the squad ahead of Pickford as back up keeper.Why doesn’t Kyle Walker play for England anymore ? Must be Pep’s instructions or something.
England play with offensive wing backs and rely on them to put crosses in, Wan doesn't really fit their system.No Wan Bissaka or Jack Grealish?
Two of the best performing players in the league!
