It's strange to see a manager 'dropping out of form players' being labelled BRUTAL!

How is it brutal if he has not perform all season

Tyrick Mitchell has played 95% of his Crystal Palace games as a left back and not a LWB. Apparently he’s not a left back because he’s played his last 15 games at wingback 🤦‍♂️

Since the “If you back me, good. If you doubt me, even better” quote, Marcus Rashford has: 2 goals, 0 assists and 0 big changes created IN 3 MONTHS Justice that he hasn't been selected. Massive PR statement coming

What is brutal about it?!

Brutal to drop a forward who has 7 goals and 4 assists in all competitions this season, and spends majority of his time on the pitch sulking. FOH

If Mainoo played for Burnley, Forrest, Brighton, West Ham etc etc, hed be no where near the England sqaud

If we had a reserves squad, Rashford wouldn't even deserve to make that

Mainoo in the starting 11, laughed at that one

We need a left full back who can overlap especially if Foden will be playing left and coming inside. This is a huge oversight knowing Shaw is injured.

Wouldn’t have taken shaw, not produced due to injury

Rashford should never be anywhere near the England team. I dislike Southgate's selections but he's got this right

Don't matter what squad he picks he will make a mess of it ! Will wait for the clamour for him when he finally goes

Why is this even talked about, anyone who isn't deaf, dumb and blind knows Rashford wasn't going to make the squad. Hendos out, Phillips out, people got what they want!

same with henderson totally brutal to not pick him as well 🤣🤣

Eric Dire!! There is a reason why BM didn’t win the league, and it wasn’t a lack of goals from Kane!!

Get Klopp for the World Cup. You got a golden generation so take one of the best coaches

WHY IS ANYONE SHOCKED ABOUT RASHFORD.. HE DONT DESERVE TOO GO.. NOW MOVE ON..

There goes the media over analysing dropping of a below average overrated English player who only makes £300k/week for 5 yrs..

Kobbie Mainoo x Cole Palmer x Eze x Wharton x Quansah are TOP quality additions to the National team 🔥

Tomori ommited again, as usual.

He won’t regret anything, because England is winning nothing under Southgate.

Quansah who's literally gonna be just a bench player being called and Tomori not even being mentioned is ridiculous and that defense is gonna be the reason England don't win the Euros.

Southgate picking his bum boys again

Fikayo Tomori ????

There is absolutely nothing “brutal” about dropping Rashford. If you took away the name brand recognition and just watched him as a player this season, he was genuinely incredibly lazy and extremely unprofessional. In all seriousness, the media have tried to prop him up as some type of World Class talent when Martial has actually been slightly more productive for United when fit. Marcus Rashford 27,008 minutes 401 games 131 goals 64 assists G/A every 138.50 minutes Anthony Martial 19,682 minutes 316 games 90 goals 55 assists G/A every 135.74 minutes

Hopefully this means Gareth will be starting Gordon as the LW... he's miles ahead of Grealish!

Mainoo has the best pr team ever. This guy just gets walked past every game he definitely isn’t a holding midfielder and has proved nothing

Rashford's PR team have made him believe he is better than he is. It's not his fault he can't get to the level. What people expect from his has always been unrealistic compared to his talent.

Sounds like that young Gal was giving Southgate a managers reference 😂

It's squad announcement day 😂

Are all the employees contractually obliged to say "Chief Football Correspondent Alex Crook" every time they mention him 😂

Give young , hungry fearless players the chance to shine. Many teams , such as Brazil and Spain have no problem starting young, inexperienced players, if they are good enough.

Rashford been mentioned all day in different media outlets though..if he’s not good enough why the attention?

I think this shows that southgate hasnt prepared well enough, that there isnt a left back available. Clearly he has brought in enough players for that position over the years who could have gained experience in friendlies as an example. Its shocking that the 2 left backs shaw & chillwell are both injured and that southgate would prefer a right back over ANY OTHER left back in the premier league.

This woman is completely clueless

Coming from a Man Utd fan here it is the correct decision

Apparently brutal is the same as common sense these days.

Looking at who we've got available I can't see England getting past q-f.stage. No top quality GK. Walker the only fit decent defender who has been playing regularly😅 Rice the only experienced holding midfielder. We better have our scoring boots on because I can't see many clean sheets happening and as soon as we play someone decent that will be it as usual.

Not enough quality in every position eg lb and cb. And we'll have the usual problems in getting midfield and attackers to blend together. This is when you realise the lack of depth in talent of English players and epl only good because of foreign players.

Ppl talking about Rashford but what has Jack grealish done for the year??

no ward prowse no ben white no pope no dan burn so so so sad to hear and see.

All praise to Gareth for not sticking with established players, out of loyalty. Will this finally shut up his silly haters ? I doubt it somehow.

South Gate wants the Man U job by axing rashford!

Rashfords form does NOT suggest he should be in the squad. Nice to see Southgate finally doing his job......

Why is he brutal for dropping marcus rashford he hasn't played well all season he's clearly not right mentally and his antics off the field is to cope with those issues hes going though, which then affects his performances on the pitch all round people have been saying Gareth has his favourites but marcus was one of his favourites I believe the difference his he's not in the right mental state and this is the euros it's not a friendly its a tournament! Maybe you should rephrase that title, maybe it's brutal for Gareth but no ones surprised Atleast the majority

Sancho, Timori and Mitchell have to be in there. He also should have got Olise as he’s still eligible.

Oh dear, Dier????????????? Lol 😂😂😂

When did Adrian Durham become the Beast from The Chase?

what a revelation mainoo is, lets thank southgate for this

Faye will never hear a bad word said against Gareth like

It's a brother thing 😂😂😂😂😂😂

You wanna win things then brutal is part of the recipe

What about the Kane trophy curse ?

England need 5 nailed on penalty takers, Toney has to go.

The fact he’s left out Henderson makes me think that maybe Southgate has left behind some sense of bias. Let’s pray

Can someone explain how Foden, Saka and Bellingham all play in the same team? Just a question as I don't know. Thanks.

If you leave chilwell out you have to take mitchell we got one left back n hes injured

Mainoo pr is insane

Rashford has done nothing to warrant a place

She is southgates sister.... Just look at her. Explains everything

It’s not brutal I think rashford himself wouldn’t put himself in he knows he hasn’t performed as well as he did last year. I’m glad boy needs a rest that for sure

Typical sports media saying it’s brutal and should Rashford have been dropped etc. But if he was picked they would’ve been saying he shouldn’t be in etc.

Its the correct squad

It would be brutal on other players if Southgate would of picked him

You go to the finals with those in form and Rashfords not in form, and Grealish is lucky to be included, spent most of the season sitting on the bench. This is GS last chance of success, so no more room for those not playing well, it's the Euros, not a friendly.

Funny how Liverpool fans are calling Harvey Elliot over Jones despite full Knowing that they play different roles

Last trophy England won was WC 1966 at wembley and now has Southgate with probably best squad ever. SOUTHGATE....all the best😂😂😂

Brutal is it .This guy won NOWT !!

Who Ever Thought Southgate Would Drop Rashford Before Ten Hag T’Rarse

I love the squad people always have something to moan about! Watkins could have scored 50 goals and they would all prefer Toney. Let’s see what people say after the tournament Toney has been shite since he’s been back

Its really brutal to drop marcus. I

It's not Gareth Southgate's job to massage the ego's of footballers by calling them up if they have been lost at sea all season, he has to pick the players who right now are in the best form for the tournament.

I’d say is Normal” not brutal. Brutal would be not taking Bowen for a terrible rashford

Are you joking. He wasn’t all that good, when he was good.

Brutal 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

if u look at the players left out like chilwell rashford sterling elliot solanke james henderson dier tomori wilson barnes sancho white smith rowe barkley englands talent pool is really remarkable,all the other nations are still sticking to the 33 plus aged players like ronaldo griezmann kroos muller etc these guys wouldnt get near an england squad now,other nations stick with players basically till they retire altogether look at italy with cheilini bonnuci etc although they did win it last time giving youth a chance is one thing england do very well and they dont really ever carry passengers well into their 30s like other nations,32 and your basically done with england,u could make an argument that an england reserve or b team talent wise cud make a final or at a push win something,all those players ive mentioned would probably win 50 plus caps for my country scotland,you guys dont know how lucky you are but then again sometimes its the hope that kills you

If england had maguire n lisandro martinez i sweae they will pick maguire over him

There is nothing brutal. This is how it should be done. Selection should be on merit.

The stupidity of the "brutal" comment in the thumbnail😂😂😂

Grealish 3 goals 1 assist in the best club team in the world Rashford 7 goals 2 assists in a terrible Man Utd side. Rashfords actually performed for England in comps before hairband gets a pass no matter how bad he plays

The midfeild is terrible same for strikers

ofcourse kalvin philips shouldnt b in squad 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

1. Pickford 2. Walker 3. Stones 4. MaGuire 5. Rice. 6. Bellingham 7. Trent 8. Saka 9. Grealish 10. Foden 11. Kane What a starting eleven that would be......

The best English left-back is playing for Ipswich.

Solanke should be in the team

or alfie doughty

They wouldnt win euros anyway

Pointless waffle. The fact is, England have the highest scoring winger in premier league history if you exclude penalties, the second highest scorer for England of the players today, the highest assist provider, the player who almost single handedly dragged England to their first final in over half a century, the most reliable England player in high stake competition games, and so clearly most dangerous attacker in English football today not in the squad let alone the team. The idea any team can succeed to win a competition without a player that can deliver so much reliably to their game and be so influential to a teams success whether the rest of the team do not perform so well or not is called wishful thinking. We've seen Southgate take risks in finals and failed at every turn. He is unable to make constructive risks and is strongest when he uses common sense. Common sense would tell you Jude Belligham has excelled partnering Vinicias Junior at Real Maddid winning the Spanish League and in the final of the Champions League which should be amazing for England as England have a similar player to Vinicias Junior in the name of Raheem Sterling in the England team meaning they can understand each other very quickly and form an equally powerful partnership for the England attack. This is common sense. But what does he do? He takes Sterling out of the team depriving England of that obvious lethal attacking partnership. Common sense would tell you that with England getting to a final with Sterling as the driving force giving defenders nightmares on one wing and Saka still developing on the other, when Saka finally develops as he has today and so much better than that final and able to give defenders nightmares like Sterling, England with these two wingers would be giving defenders sleepless nights on both wings and be even more lethal than when getting to that final, so you play them both again now as a bigger threat than before. This again is common sense. But no, Southgate has decided to not play Sterling and play a lesser threat that has achieved nothing, but some good games for an average club for one season and has no experience of high stakes competition, or an alternative that has played for England, but achieved nothing special when playing for England and is not even the first choice for his club team. It's astonishing stuff. As for Palmer, a player that has scored an average number of goals in open play scoring 10 penalties he will not take for England to push up his stats, but more importantly failed to make the Man City team and was then sold, because although he was known by Man City to score goals is too much of a defensive liability to have in a team that wants to win things or be a top team, why in the world would a manager with any sense ignore these facts and like a novice want to consider putting him in his team just because pundits, commentators and the media choose to ignore the obvious facts and claim the manager who sold him has made a mistake despite the fact this manager is winning everything under the sun. Palmer does not understand defense, does not participate in defensive responsibilities, does not know how to balance defensive and offensive responsibilities and has no interest in understanding or participating in defensive responsibilities at a time in football when all 11 players have offensive responsibilities and all 11 players have defensive responsibilities and the team least efficient at utilising all 11 players for these offensive and defensive objectives loses. That is modern football and what is understood by all the top teams in league and international football as necessary to win competitions or leagues. But Southgate obviously thinks he is the exception and wishful thinking will get him over the line. Without Raheem Sterling in the team, I predict England will be knocked out of the competition in the Quarter finals at these Euros, mark my words, so I won't even bother watching the games managed by stupidity that makes no sense forced on the manager by pressure from the media. Wishful thinking gets you nowhere. Peace and love

It’s gonna be the same result anyhow like every major competition Marcus better off on a beach somewhere and chill bruv

So many foreign names in the "England" squad, sad to see. Might as well call them team World

Rashford hasn't had a good season, it's a breakaway from always picking the same established names regardless of form.

Kilman

All Rashford does is run into box, straight into the defenders. You can see see him trying to get ball onto his foot to shoot. Only works vs a rubbish defence

We actually might win the damn thing now gareth has grew a pair

It's not brutal at all pretty realistic by all accounts.

What is brutal are his opinions.

What this all about Rashford for.I managed to realise that Darren bent rio Ferdinand and only his coloured mates sticking up for this guy the guy has been absolutely shocking 😳 and I can tell you that as a black MAN

England is pure hype dwl why people get work up just to be disappointed again 😅

None of this matters. England will be England once the tourney starts.
