    I don’t even want Raheem Sitting in the squad because I think we have better alternatives in his position with the likes of Saka, Foden, Rashford & Grealish but I feel so bad for him. Kalvin Phillips & Harry Maguire still get picked for England even though their club form has been terrible or non existent for the last 2 years and the angle Southgate fans are using and I assume is Southgate’s thinking aswell is that they are his loyal soldiers, who’s done very well for him in the past and since the Euros is likely to be his last tournament, he wants to one last dance with his crew. The problem is that Sterling has been England’s best player for his entire tenure aside from Harry Kane and we all know how he powered England through the group stage at Euro 2020. How does he not get credit in the bank and get viewed by Southgate as one of his loyal soldiers when Kalvin Phillips and Harry Maguire get selected even though they barely play and are deemed surplus to requirements at club level ???

      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

      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.

    I am outraged that [Insert name] wasn’t included, he has been so good recently for [Insert midtable club]!

      Tbf until recently Lewis Dunk and Brighton could have filled those gaps. I think his performances have justified that reaction.

      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.

    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.

      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.

      Pleased for Johnstone but lack of Pope is baffling when Ramsdale isn’t playing regularly.

          Throw Maguire into the mix too when there’s probably other defenders playing regularly/better than him. Nice to see Tomori in the squad after people saying he wasn’t getting picked because he wasn’t playing in the Prem. Not sure if Henderson still being picked has anything to do with it.

    Praying that Trippier and Wilson play zero minutes. Both have been run into the ground the last few months, and need a break.
