Basically everyone except Southgate thinks Maddison should be in the squad. As is being said at the moment on Sky Southgate just seems to have his favourites who play for a narrow range of clubs.

Think about some of those who'll be guaranteed places regardless of how they play and think about him being left out despite being in the form of his life. Then think about struggling to break down Iran/USA/Wales while Henderson is being carted out
It's also based on those that came up through the England youth ranks, although he does also have favourites who'll be picked regardless. I reckon if Phillips if half-fit he'll end up putting him in the squad ahead of someone like Ward-Prowse.

This will end up costing us.

I think he takes something not dissimilar to the following. Who drops out for Maddison?

I don't see him not taking Henderson because of simple leadership although most would probably agree he's past it so an obvious drop out, although you're leaving yourself further exposed in defensive minded players for attackers.

He's definitely not going to take him.

Edit: Just realised I haven't included Mount who will definitely be on the plane either.

Mings & Henderson shouldn't be anywhere near an England squad & as you say Mount simply has to be in there.
There's a few other changes I'd make to that but it doesn't really matter too much.

Once again it does highlight the lack of balance in the squad/talent pool though;
- Only 3 CBs (+Walker) for a back 3?
- Only Rice & Bellingham as natural CMs?
- Whilst we debate if it's worth squeezing in a 7th attacking midfielder...

I'm going to be shouting for a 4231 until we are knocked out.

Bournemouth have verbally agreed a takeover by a US billionaire. Some teams have all the luck.

Difficult to believe this Leicester v Palace match is actually a Premier League match. Reminds me of our League 2 days. Maddison really not helping his case with Southgate watching.

Goal not given due to a shirt pull.

Imagine if they were consistent and designed gyo getting assaulted most weeks.

How many times do we see players with a handful of shirt and nothing gets given? All the time. So if that's ruled out for a foul, it has to be given a foul every time it happens. Where's the consistency?

Man City might be good going forward, but flipping heck, they're terrible at defending!

Not sure how that wasn't a red. Tiago slipped but he was going in without control.

Virgil thinks he's the hard man squaring up to Silva.
