Great call on Rashford. When you don’t work hard at club level, you don’t get rewarded to play National Level. 👍🏾✅

Finally he has grown some balls to make big calls.

I never understand why they don’t just invite Jordan Henderson along with the staff to bring that leadership every now and then when you need it.

correct shout with Marcus. Foden, Gordon, Grealish, Eze have all been better.

I'm a Liverpool fan but, despite being happy for Jones i feel it beggars belief that he is in over Elliott. Odd.

Adam Wharton is a superstar in making. He has to be on flight to Germany. He is the deep lying play maker, England have been aching for decades.

Deserved Marcus! That's what happens if you don't work hard

Palmer, Foden, Saka, Bellingham,Grealish, Eze, Kane, Watkins - The depth upfront is crazy

Rashford had it coming. His mindset has been toxic to the team the entire season. He doesn't deserve it.

This is quite interesting. Great moving leaving out Rashford and Henderson.

No Phil Jones?

Tomori ommited as usual.

Shocked by his selections, feel far more positive about our chances now because it’s a really youthful, exciting squad with some very dynamic players. Just wonder why he picked players like Henderson all the way until the last friendlies, then suddenly dropped all the experienced players

Thanks for the update!

As a Liverpool fan he should’ve picked Elliot over Curtis yes his only 21 but his been crucial and just is a very good player on the pitch and I have no doubt he would’ve done much better knowing his capping for England

Harvey Elliot deserved to be on the plane. His impact for Liverpool off the bench has been exceptional. Even Sancho should be going,has Southgate seen his performances in the Semi of the CL.

It's Time Football Coming Home,Come On England,Love & Support From Indonesia 🏆⚽️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🤝🇮🇩

Bowen is so under rated its criminal ....

Thanks for not selecting Chilly, Levi, Reece, Raheem or Trevoh. Gusto, Disasi, Benoit & Nkunku also not selected by France. Maybe, just maybe Chelsea can avoid the injury issues going into the new season.

He's liaising with Manchester united about Luke shaw 😂😂😂😂 Haven't they had 60+ separate injuries this season. 😅😅

Phil has played as a 10 all season Roku or grealish/doku on the left, Bernardo has played rw every time Phil has played

The defence has to be the right call, for me we have brilliant midfielders and forwards, but apart from walker and stones I'm struggling to see a real solid set up. It's now down to the coaching team to do the business.

When will 115 get solved?

He's chosen 3 goalkeepers that aren't even 1st choice for their clubs. Ridiculous.

Good, he's doing his job

Grealish over Rushford... funny

The attack is the best in the tournament on paper. Let's see if it can be transferred to the pitch.

England need a coach

It's a good selection for the most parts.....Harvey Elliot non selection hits the hardest.

Rashford doesn't deserve it but watch everyone all of a sudden say when its going bad that we could of brought Cashford on... .😣😣🥈

Honestly, I didnt think Gareth had the balls to drop Marcus, fair play !

He's going to play Foden on the wing isn't he 😭😭😭

Guess the statute of limitation on whatever dirt Henderson had on Southgate has passed.

Wheres Mike Smalling and Eric Diemaister

Disappointed that Gibbs-White hasn't been given a chance.

Mitchell at left back instead of Trippier. Trippier looked gassed at Christmas and Mitchell has been class for Palace especially in the Liverpool game.

As a leeds fan might seem biased but where is Archie Gray over these youngsters 🤣🤣🤣

Only 11 defenders, which will presumably be cut to 9 or 8 (recommended), with a bias towards versatility. He's finally learning is our Gareth. A bit late in the day like.

I would have loved Harvey Elliot to have been called up but do understand he'll be used in the U21's this Summer

The defence options are a big worry

We need a sharp, fast start. No poncing about & an alarm to know we actually want to win! Oh boy! 😮

I was half expecting to see BENSON AND HEDGES ..mike bleedn basset ladies and gentlemen

The best way to play is high press as most are used to this energy level, also opponents are not going to get through easily as they are not familiar with each other in international games. If they go high ball then it is easier to deal with the aerial dominance in defence. This will allow more possession and that will suit England better as they are stronger playing in opposite half with the talent they have upfront. However that means Watkins becomes the better choice over Kane. Best press formaion upfront will be Watkins, foden, Saka, grelish and Bellingham. Rice will be tight on their playmaker to avoid passing through midfield.

It’s so mad as the media all up to the announcement say Henderson and rashford shouldn’t be in then when Gareth leaves them out it’s all they talk about it’s obvious why they both not there

I thought that was a very good interview from Gareth. He knows he will get questioned or criticised whichever way he goes, I like the decisions he has made. Lets see how the final squad takes shape and get behind them.

why are there only 2 left footers?

Those Centre backs are worrying especially with Stones having not played much last two months. I would either test Stones and Walker at CB or just go big and maybe go with Dunk and Braithwaite and think about a partnership for the future.

Why is no one asking about Jack Grealish??????

Gutted for Hendo. We will message his leadership and bundles of energy that he brings on the pitch.

Where's Paul Mullin? 😁

Pleasantly surprised... let's see if he goes typically defensive (negative) or if he let's our boys flow, we genuinely have the greatest national side in the world atm it just takes bringing them together as a team and setting it up in a fashion that suits their style and attributes in the best possible way... an attacking high pressing type of football would suit us imo, possession based could work and counter attacking football if we go ahead we have the players to win this... do we have the manager? 🤔... anything less than the final is a failure!

When Henderson was signing his massive Saudi contract to "spread footy" he didnt worry about playing for England this summer did he? He won't be missed at all.

After sanchos performances the last few games I thought he must be in. Man in top form, with great all round play. He set up so many chances in their last bunder game, plus he is due for the champions league final...

Grealish over Bowen 😂😭🤡 Can't make this stuff up!

Elliot for me should have been picked.. he’s been absolutely crucial for Liverpool either starting 11 or coming on as sub, always makes a difference

How is tomori not there?? Had a much better season than most of the defenders.

What's with the obsession with Bowen....Solanke trounced him in goals scored this season...

As a Man Utd Supporter I was never expecting Marcus to be in this squad, but how does Gareth justify Luke Shaw ... He hasn't played a game for 3 months someone make it make sense.

Forwards and backs , cleaner and more definitive . Obviously 12 defenders not enough , rather two dozen ,Harry Kane and Jordan Pickford ?

Top shelf

Where's James Ward-P at , 37 games in the PL with 7 goals & 7 assists. Better than most the midfielders picked

•Gr8 squad by Gareth. Maths Profs very glad. They say GS shud select & announce final squad on weds 08.00am 5/6/24 in London to stress out rivals who will pick thier teams on 7/6/24. Extra 60 hrs for our 3 🦁 boys to relax will be a big plus factor too. Rashford failed to win Euro21 by fluffing cup final pen. Some boys peak early & fade away (Rashford, Jeffers, Walcott, etc) others peak later (eg Palmer & Gordon & Saka who are all much stronger mentally than Marcus & will score AET pen shootouts). Playing a back 3 of Walker Stones Quansah will win it. With Trent-AA & Trippier as wing backs (backed up by Shaw). Golden trio midfield of Rice-Jude-Foden Up front, Kane-Palmer (with Saka & Gordon as impact subs) will bring it home & end 58 yrs of hurt. Or 5-2-3 with Foden Kane Jude up front & Rice & Curtis Jones in the midfield It feels like Gareth is channelling Sir Alf energy this time. (& Not Bobby Robson like in Euro 21). Its finally coming home & then Gareth becomes ManU's new boss as per Oliver Holt Mail Sports article.

He has gone up in my estimations dropping rashford and Henderson definitely

Why the England FA keep Southgate so long as coach It seems he is permanently and he has nothing to show England does not win a FIFA competition since 1966 It is embarrassing.

Fair play to Southgate. I've always slated him for being a yes man and picking his pals but looks like he's become refreshingly ruthless and honest with his selection. I still think he's an average manager but i'm slightly more onside after this press conference/selection

Why go on about rashford & Henderson it’s not difficult even sterling he’d need 7 chances to score one goal & with England you don’t get that many!! Rashford can’t control the ball & Henderson isn’t needed because hopefully we will play the ball forward not sideways or backwards , if we are going to play with Southgate’s Italian blueprint then we need players that can quickly get the ball forward, hopefully we will play players in there natural positions !!

Gareth hit the DEI quotas without Marcus Sancho and Reece James hence the cull.

As bad has Rashford has been, he’s better than a few of those players that have been selected even if they may have had better seasons. It’s the euros you take your best players

Young players to have a look at ???? Why didn't he play them in the last few friendlies??? We all know they won't get a game anyway , he'll play the usual core of players as per usual.

Where’s 6’7 Dan burn?

No Tomori again. Insane.

And Harry Maguire has been consistently named in Southgate's squad .... regardless of form, or first team appearances in the past...... Double standards ?

The defense is an issue, especially left back. If Shaw isn't fit then I see a big liability in that position.

Ben white really said no for what 😂

One of the best players in the Premiership, Palmer not included, I just do not understand that, a bad decision IMO. The old stars not included, I agree with that, Fresh Blood.

Shaw would be bang out of order he hasn’t kicked a ball for us all season

I know it'll never happen,,,,but,,,KLOPP for England manager would be awesome !!!Passion,morale,drive,,results !!!

gareth come on need leadership

No one talking about Solanke missing out

So, Foden starting on the left then!!! 🤦‍♂️

Rashford has been abysmal for Utd over two seasons now. No brainer.

Cant watch till we get a proper manager

I really don’t understand why Eric Dier didn’t get the call… played phenomenally for Bayern in the league and the UCL, he’s also playing at the highest level of competition out of every England defender available, honestly it’s inexcusable if he’s picking based on form that Dier didn’t get the nod…

grealish over sancho 🤔

Cmon England! Let’s hope Klopp comes and takes this role after a year long holiday!

What a job this man has done! Iceland 2016 is a distance memory my god he’s been treated so crap he’s brought nothing but gems in

Henderson and Kalvin-Phillips should start change my mind.

How much longer do we have to put up with Big Nose?

I am disappointed that he still selected Hary Maquaire

🤔... Jack Butland gets overlooked yet again but he picks Aaron Ramsdale who has only played 6 games all season and James Trafford, who kept just 2 clean sheets and let in over 60 goals which helped Burnley get relegated! This Makes no sense to me. 🤷‍♂️

May be he should drop Kane and see how things fans out.

Where is trent

But why was he always picking maguire and Philips when they were not playing good in their clubs

The Ben White question was typically dumb. Why would he talk to players that make a point of not wanting to play for England?

How can Southgate react to his own announcement?

Gibbs-White should have been included

Attacking options thats one hell of a potential line up but southgates tactics wont suit any of them and he'll play them out of position 🤦

I'd have Dier, Tarkowski, Mitchell in - Trafford, Gomez, Maguire, Quansah, Guehi, Jones, Gallagher, Maddison, Grealish, Toney out. (If Shaw's not fit, I'd replace him with Dan Burn.)

The tactically useless Southgate making excuses already , sack him mow ! 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿
