England Squad

[willsclarets]

If you think of the likes of Ferdinand, Terry, Cole - our current defence is where we need much improvement. I actually think Pickford is much improved in the last couple of years and a little underrated

If you can’t answer the question that’s fine, no need to get personal.

I responded to Newcastle who you can have a decent discussion with.

Time to let it go fella.

Time to let it go fella.

Thank heavens for that.

Skipp would have been my choice. Starting for the team 4th in the league. Tidy ball player too I think he’d suit the system.

They must think he’s better off playing every game for U21s currently than sitting on bench for first team. I do understand that reasoning, Southgate has always been an advocate of young players getting international competing minutes.

[Newcastleclaret93]

Writing players like Ward Prowse off because Southampton are bottom of the league is short sighted( you haven’t I know)
I like this Harrison Reed at Fulham who are flying this season. Is he English , I think he is ?
Other alternatives to Phillips have been mentioned by others but if people are blinkered that’s their problem

Potentially but I think Ward Prowse has really dropped off this season.

I like Reed but not sure he’s good enough. I think there’s an argument for Loftus Cheek who has recently broke back into the Chelsea team, or maybe Yates from Forrest.

I would potentially have gone down the route of Skipp or Ramsey but the england set up must see them as more valuable getting minutes for the u21s.

But if I’m honest I’m not sure any of them would perform better than Phillips if called upon. He’s been consistent for England.

That’s a lazy opinion. Southampton would already be down if it wasn’t for Ward-Prowse

You’re potentially right and I know it’s not all down to ward prowse as his whole team is struggling this year but Ward Prowse stats have dropped this year.

His passing stats arnt as good and his goal and assist output has dropped also.

A little, but Mount’s stats have dropped off a cliff.

Longstaff is not exactly a defensive midfielder.

Of course I'd pick will evans over dqrko as he's match fit and Welsh.

I don't think that its a case of any of them having experience of the particular situation the England find themselves in. Most of that squad weren't born when England last played a quality side in a qualifier.

Yes, I'd play skipp alongside declan rice.

[Bin Ont Turf]

Bellingham aside that midfield is dreadful,all either not playing or well out of form…the England set up is a joke..Southgate is just an fa puppet,I’m personally sick of it

Always look at the midfield in a side/squad and I agree, it's not very good.

[GodIsADeeJay81]

I’m amazed he hasn’t picked Balogun to be honest

He's decided to represent the USA after being overlooked by England.

[kentonclaret]

Picks Toney as he hasn't been found guilty, yet Toney has admitted most the charges... so he just left him out the World Cup squad
Doesn't pick Sterling as he hasn't played enough, previously hides behind players not letting him down
Picks Dier over Tomori


Welcome back Gareth, you squad picking has been missed

As Gareth is so fond of saying “Tomori is another Dier”

What is GS gonna do for a first choice keeper if T-Rex is relegated with Everton?
