Finally Southgate has actually chosen a decent squad

The press citing the lack of England caps in the midfield as a problem 😂. So by their metric they'd rather have someone like Henderson who has picked up many England caps playing against the likes of Moldova and Andorra, rather than the youngsters like Bellingham and Foden - who don't have that number of caps yet, but ply their trade week in week out playing against the best in the world. 🤷

Henderson wont be missed...you have Kane, Bellingham, Rice, Walker..the argument for "his leadership" is just no enough anymore...good

Why does the media always put a downer on anything anyone does / selects / acts ... get behind the team he's selected ffs ... Wharton is class .. future England Legend in the making

Think Adam Wharton has a bigger chance than people think, left footed central midfielders brings a different angle. And there’s only so many attackers Southgate will take.

That is the best in form squad he has picked yet and its great to see, COME ON ENGLAND!

Dom Solanke 19 goals for Bournemouth, no where????🤔🍒

Can’t wait to see Saka back. We was shite in the previous friendlies without him.

Nice to see Southgate have abit of Ruthlessness by leaving out Henderson and Rashford but we still need to see more

Thanks for the update!

Geoff Hurst is still knocking around and he scored a hat trick in the World Cup Final. How short-sighted not to at least give him a place in the provisional squad. As Mike Bassett said: "If you're old enough you're good enough."

I wish the Southgate haters would get off their silly bandwagon. He hasn't stuck with loyalty to established players, and is giving young players on form every opportunity. And he is the most successful England Manager since Alf Ramsey, and talks alot of sense. Let's get behind him and whatever team gets picked for each game.

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 & gade 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. No offence was intended to Marcus who is a nice guy but look at how Saka bounced back after the pen miss. Marcus missed an early pen & heaped pressure on Saka & Sancho. Look at Marcus body language before the pen. I knew he wud miss it before he took it. Gareth has picked a great squad & check out the analytics on the UK-RG Maths Profs web-site. They love this squad. They predicted Argentina wud defeat France in Workd Cup final when most pundits said Messi wud lose in last 16 KO game cuz Messi was too old. Mental resilience is stronger than youthful energy. No disrespect is intended to Marcus

Tomori and Dier left out, but Maguire in?? Sancho has been brilliant on current form and can easily switch sides. Grealish can't! Pleased Quansah has been picked and I hope he's given some game time in the warm up games.

looks promising if he centered the play arround Bellingham and Foden . these two are buzzing atm

Surprised with needing left back cover that he hasn't given Chilwell the same time as Shaw when he was back in training and on the bench for Chelsea the last few games of the season. I know he he didn't have the best game in the friendlies but we need left back support. Surely every team and opposition manager will look to exploit the weakest part of our defence.

Winter the only one who asks interesting questions

Whos making the packed lunches Gareth?

You have to pick form players and not take players that are not fit!

I'm a bit worried about LB.

Not surprised why Rashford isn't picked! 💩

Never mind the squad, bring back our flag!!!

4 palace players❤️💙

For the 26 man squad drop: - Trafford - Wharton - Grealish - Bowen - Dunk - Braithwaite - Shaw ???

Yet another slap in the face for Scottish football not giving Jack Butland the nod! Especially considering there's 4 keepers in there!

No one’s talking about fikayo tomori

The first decent team they face they will be coming home no chance.

Im a Man U fan and can't complain about Rashford being left out but WHY DID YOU LIVE SANCHO

Good squad, Rasford has not been good, so correct decision and even though I am a LFC fan, agree with Hendo being left out! So all good for me, we have a chance!

Suprised Harvey Elliot isn’t getting mentioned.

Why no solanke

Shaw should not in, neither should curtis jones or quansah. Ward Prowse, Dier and Solanke should be in

Lots of talent to pick from in midfield and forward positions. It's the defence and goalkeeper position that worries me if the aim is to win the tournament. I hear the complaints about the likes of Maguire being in the squad but what quality centre backs do we have when the likes of Ben White make themselves unavailable. I think Chilwell is a little unlucky. Sure he's not had great season but you could argue he's not tired and he has more experience at a high level. Surely it would have made sense to blood some of these youngsters he's picked now in earlier friendlies?

Rashford deserves nothing less....I would also release Grealish and play Bowen over Saka..... Bowen is a goal threat... he crosses the ball for the forward.... tracks back and works hard and is adept in playing a West Ham systen which is not unlike the way England's play is... always with a deep back line... Bowen works his socks off to bridge the large gap left between backline and forwards... Im not a WHU....but he has been exceptional in what has been at times a slightly poor performing team... so he has the mentality to perform even when the team isn't.

Why not jason sancho????

James Trafford. You do no Burnley went down. Not that he will get any minutes as 4 keepers never no why. But pope is alot better pick for me.

Rashford should be / doesn't deserve to be in any conversation here. Also Henderson. Maguire shouldn't be selected. Own goals and penalties are expected.

No sterling or rashford means hes gonna waste the best number 10 we have (foden) on the wing... smh no pace in behind... ahhh southgate youre done.

still bringing trippier, leaving rashford?

United fans insulted by even the mention of Luke Shaw

Well done for dropping rashford you should drop saka as well for miss that pen

Not putting in Elliott.... Jesus Christ.....

Watching Sky Sports news yesterday when the squad was announced. Every pundit so arrogant about England getting to the final as minimum and that this is their “generational talent” I’ve been hearing that for 40 years! Paul Merson went a step further and said I can’t see anything but a convincing England win and every player in the England squad would get into every other nations team 😂 They will never learn

Southgate blaming injury for Hendo not being picked but he includes Shaw?? Talk about hypocrisy. Thank god this is Southgate's last tournament!

How the fk is that mainoo in there 😂

Its training squad not the Euros squad

England...the underachievers

Rashford is not a difficult call. He's been useless the whole season and couldnt be bothered to bust his ass for the club that has employed him, so why pick him?

Defence still a problem. No way England will win Euro 24.

I am English. However, I do not care about England. I am a Red Mancunian. I only care about Man Utd. I will laugh when England lose this summer in the EUROS. And i do not care if all of you on this chat forum call me a traitor 😅. Boo hoo. Get over it 😅😅.

Pickford Walker Maguire Konza Stones Rice Saka Bellingham Foden Palmer Kane

Lewis Hall is unreal at LB and Livramento can play LB and are both miles better than Luke Shaw. Both of them are 2 of the most promising full backs in Europe.

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

RASHFORD WILL BE CALLED INTO THE SQAUD YOU CAN BET ON THAT , SHIRT SELLERS DEMAND IT IN THE FA , FODEN IS 10 TIMES A BETTER PLAYER THEN RASHFORD WILL EVER BE

Lots of youth and pace in the England squad that Gareth has picked.but its england and they are soo much big headed ego that will not gel the lot of them so they'll still not win anything.

Southgate is maladie why no rashford 🥺🤦

No Jack Butland the best goalkeeper in Britain Southgate is a clown either that he’s anti Scottish football .

Rong decisions

38 goals and Haaland doesn't get picked?

Why would they ask on why Marcus Rashford hasn't been chosen that's just dumb the simple answer is because he's been ass this season

Who cares? England will be out in SF, at best!

Why is Marcus Rashford not in the squad have you been watching football he's done nothing this season simple

How's Grealish been chosen??? Garbage spent most of it on the bench. Maguire again what's he done??? If you drop Rashford surely you've got too drop slabhead aswell and Shaw joke he's not played most of the season.

Semis if they lucky, that's as far as it goes..same same usual.

Hope utd fans like southgate ,he will be the next manager 🤣🤣🤣😂.

Journalist are stupid. Why is rashford not going. You not watch football

so even though Dier has played well for Bayern we would rather take Maguire LOL what a clown of a manager

regardless of players and who gets picked, it’s obvious when watching and listening to Gareth that we ain’t doing nothing in this tournament, the man has no charisma whatsoever

Good squad overall... only choices I disagree with are Grealish and Dunk over Rashford and Tomori... Grealish right now is basically a poor mans Eze... Eze offers the same qualities as Grealish and he's a much better finisher... Rashford despite having a poor season is still the most clinical left winger England have, imo. Man scored 30 goals in all competitions last season and he's been thrown under the bus after just 1 bad season.

SOUTHGATE OUT!!!! Solanke>toney southgate hates bournemouth being a Southampton fan... Awful for children having toney a cheat and bets man awful rolemodel over solanke with 19 goals for my mid table team

curtis jones? he is barely prem level, he shouldn't be in the squad

He is not the man to win glory for England, we are in danger of wasting yet another golden generation.

I would take Rushford over Grealish

When england eventually lose, get ready for videos like "what if Southgate picked Rashford and Henderson?"

Happy shitford is out

You won’t win any regardless of who’s in that squad

rashford is a massive call cos he actually plays good for england. it is what it is

Reading the team sheet looks more like an African sqaud. England is lost.

How can a kids hobbie, which football is, and picking an England team made to sound like its brain surgery by southgate. Also the team doesnt look very english does it. Could send the team to the african nations

Reporter: "Marcus Rashford, whys he not on your list?" Southgate: "Because he's not English."

Bore off! Not interested in crappy international football

Don't care what you do with overrated England, just stay away from the United job.

I laughed out loud when he said he may retire if England win the Euros ! Another words he will be working untill he drops. Honestly England have no chance with him..
