Really? Trippier has been superb for the barcodes, and TAA has been poor for Liverpool.Unbelievable though - Southgate really is clueless and has massive blindspots that he is either not aware of and is aware of and doesn't care. Maddison is far better than his teachers pet Mason Mount. Rumour has it he wont take Trent and is taking the finished trippier.
Yeah Maddison for Gallagher for me.Really? Trippier has been superb for the barcodes, and TAA has been poor for Liverpool.
Dier has been excellent for Spurs this season, so I'd take him, and Ben White.
Maddison hasn't been in recent squads largely because of fitness. He has rarely been fit for more than 2 or 3 months at a time in the last 2 years. He is bang on form now though, so I 'd take him. But above who? From that list above, I'd take him instead of Gallagher. Sterling? Well he's not had a good 12 months, but you need his tournament experience, Saka and Foden are the future so need to be there. Grealish is probably at risk not having been effective at City. Mount, has played fairly well for England generally would be harsh to drop him
That’s rubbish and you know itMaddison hasn't been in recent squads largely because of fitness
You just know Calvert-Lewin is getting called up.The problem with this club England is that it’s hard to break into the clique so fringe players might look elsewhere.
Plus the ridiculous over reliance on favourites like Kane and esp Pickford in friendlies means if they get injured before Qatar we are going in with very little experience in our cover players.
Kane out who ??? How many caps
Same for Pickford.
I think Southgate will turn to Rashford first if anything happens to Kane. Don't think the likes of Wilson or Toney will get a look in, even if they do go.The problem with this club England is that it’s hard to break into the clique so fringe players might look elsewhere.

No it isn't, look at his record he's missed a third of the last 2 seasons with injuries, he's then battled to get fully fit and on form after those injuries. He deserves to be picked right now, but for most of the last 2 seasons come time to pick the squad he's been injured, or returning from injury more often than notThat’s rubbish and you know it
He might have but that’s not why he’s been left out.No it isn't, look at his record he's missed a third of the last 2 seasons with injuries, he's then battled to get fully fit and on form after those injuries.

Rashford is another of his fall backs ( ie doesn’t matter about club form they are in regardless )I think Southgate will turn to Rashford first if anything happens to Kane. Don't think the likes of Wilson or Toney will get a look in, even if they do go.
The problem is though you can't build any consistency and improvement if you change the squad at a whim all teh time.The problem with this club England is that it’s hard to break into the clique so fringe players might look elsewhere.
We don't play friendlies anymore. I agree we lack back ups, or experience with those backups in some roles. But then when Pope or Abraham have played they've hardly pulled treesPlus the ridiculous over reliance on favourites like Kane and esp Pickford in friendlies means if they get injured before Qatar we are going in with very little experience in our cover players.
How do you know why he's been left out, there doesn't have to be a conspiracy behind everything.He might have but that’s not why he’s been left out.
So you are complaining that he always picks the same XI, but now that he has backups. Dear me, make your mind upRashford is another of his fall backs ( ie doesn’t matter about club form they are in regardless )
Back ups is a term for the Nailed on few that are part of club England regardless of formSo you are complaining that he always picks the same XI, but now that he has backups. Dear me, make your mind up
He's selected at least 40 players in the last 18 months. How many more do you want?Back ups is a term for the Nailed on few that are part of club England regardless of form
I’m saying there’s not enough use of players outside the clique. Taking Toney and giving him zero yes zero minutes before a World Cup sums it up.
Yes which I don’t understand. Maddison has to be ahead of him, yes they aren’t exactly the same type of player but you need to find a space for Maddison. Gallagher would barely get a kickWait, Conor Gallagher is expected to make the WC squad?!
