Left out of the England squad for the World Cup. Utterly shocking decision.

As is Smalling never being talked about. Started 13 out of 14 for Roma again this year. Both him and Tomori should be in ahead of Maguire

I’ve watched him of late I thought his form had really dipped, so I’m not too surprised. Moreover he was poor in the recent internationals so I’m sure that’s where Gareth is basing his analysis on. However, I do agree that Gareth probably hasn’t given him enough chances to prove himself but it’s a cruel selection process you might say.

there's a reason they're playing a poorer league than Maguire

 

[Priv]

Not really a surprise, he was already a peripheral squad player as is and he failed in both matches against Chelsea this season.

Probably not getting a fair crack of the whip in judgement, as he plays abroad, but I'm sure those two games will have been high in the thinking.

This, he was awful in those 2 champions league games against Chelsea, I’ve no doubt that will of killed his chance.

I’m more concerned about central midfield, Henderson’s legs have gone he’s blowing after 30mins these days and Phillips hasn’t played properly for over 6 months. We literally have no cover for Rice and Bellingham.

Tomori a Notebook choice when playing for Derby
Maddison when playing for Norwich
If only....

Didn’t Maddison score a great goal against us at the riverside for Norwich a few years ago

Here you go Nobby, I don’t doubt he was in your Notebook after this

Yes he did kid, and absolutely stole the show that day Was the best player to visit the Riverside that season. I have followed his career very closely since (not stalking)

I can never understand how Conor Coady gets in the squad at all. Tomori is a far better option. Tammy Abrahams also ahead of Wilson or even Sterling as he’s not in form if anything goes by Southgate.

Problem is for Gareth that they’re all probably at the same level. Smalling kind of missed his chance when he was at Man U and when you’re demoted or lose your place and you’re over 32 then it’s not going to happen.

Serie A is nowhere near as competitive as the Premier League.... Can't blame Gareth for going for home based players....
Thanks

When was the last time Coady played in the champions league again Nobby? Thanks!

Tomori's record in the Champions League is very poor.

Is Coady’s any better with Everton? He’s not exactly keeping clean sheets for them.

He's playing against tougher opposition on a weekly basis

Possibly but he’s not a better player than Tomori. Everyone will have an opinion. I just have never rated him.
It’s the same as people saying Maguire shouldn’t go, but I think he’s a good player and never let England down in Tournaments.

I think Coady is a bit 'unfashionable for some reason

Peters and Hurst wouldn't have got a look in if it was 1966.

 

[FatCat]

Rashford back in the squad, I really don’t see what he brings to the table(except free school meals) he certainly wouldn’t be in my squad

He peaked in his first season - got sidetracked with his free school meals and now average - looks like Southgate is going for experience!

Maguire isn’t playing in any league at the moment and hasn’t since he got dropped in August.

Those defensive options are glaringly poor, especially if Walker’s injured.
