He wasn't great, but Lewis Dunk was so much worse. He shouldn't be getting anywhere near the Euros squad.
Shaw being injured is a massive blow. He’s so underrated. And it’s a big shame Colwill hasn’t kicked on this season, he’s talented but Poch doesn’t know what he’s doing with him. Branthwaite looks good too but it’s a tournament too soon for him.we are actually struggling for CBS at international level now. We always had one player who was a guaranteed starter. Campbell, Terry, Ferdinand etc. we are light at left back and CDM too. In forward positions we are blessed but defensively (especially if we don’t have walker) we aren’t great.
Play in the premier league....football doesn't exist outside it.Tomori is having a good season, not sure what he needs to do to get game time…
"he's so bad"
Hyperbole.
Let's be adults

Whether you rate him or not, and he's a bit old now, Chris Smalling is in his 5th season at Roma, but hasnt played for England since 2017.

That Brazil side will win the world cup in 2 years time, the potential is there for all to see and much like the Sky Blues they are a young team developing.They look far better without Thiago Silva, Neymar and Casemiro.TBH this is a weak Brazil side and England will never win anything under Southgate. The way England play I actually beleive the mighty Sky Blues could beat them. Foden goes missing in an England shirt - why is that? There are some far better players Southgate could pick too. It's poor. Gallagher, not at this level. Surprising good debut from Gordon. Chilwell is garbage. Bidders would do better. henderson still in the squad tells you everything. Bored, can't wait for these Int Breaks to be over!
England are overrated. They just got beat by the Brazil youth team, albeit i expect Brazil to win the world cup in 2 years time as their youth players look outstanding.If we had pep from Man City we would win games like this with the talent we have. It's incompetence from the FA not to see how we are a decent manager away from something significant.
Southgate unites the squad and for that he deserves credit but his record against the top teams in world football is concerning.
He’s 26Play in the premier league....football doesn't exist outside it.

Makes me laugh because numerous top level professional international and club level coaches see him good enough to play for club and country and watch him week in week out. Then we get casual England fans who just go “nah he’s shit”
ok then
He's on about Smalling who is 34!He’s 26
I would add Kane, Foden and maybe Walker to that list and a couple more of the squad are close to being in that company.England are overrated. They just got beat by the Brazil youth team, albeit i expect Brazil to win the world cup in 2 years time as their youth players look outstanding.
Bellingham is the only world class player.

How do you define world class? Be interested to see what you would class as your world 11 team.
Exactly this. It’s a weird compulsion people have. We see it within our own fans too about our players. There has to be 1 scapegoat if we don’t winThe Maguire shite is so boring. Just a load of people hopping on the bandwagon and making out he’s a lot worse than he actually is just because it’s the fashionable opinion to have. He’d obviously walk into our team, Christ.

I think now there are very few world class players but currently id say as follows in a 4-2-3-1I would add Kane, Foden and maybe Walker to that list and a couple more of the squad are close to being in that company.

Some marginal calls and I think Foden gets in that team and with a 2 up front formation so does Kane. The wider point is England have talent that gets into most national team 11s and for me Southgate setting England up not to lose actually is a huge part of the team not fulfilling its potential.I think now there are very few world class players but currently id say as follows in a 4-2-3-1
Courtois
Kimmich Militao Dias Mendy
Tchouameni De Bruyne
Rodrygo Bellingham Mbappe
Haaland
Vinicius is obviously world class but he is not at Mbappes level and they play in the same position. Walker v Kimmich i struggled with but i have just given it to Kimmich.

The people that moan about him are the same people that would rather someone like Lewis Dunk played.
Messi is no longer world class as he plays in a pub league, same with Ronaldo. Allison is past it now and has been for a couple of years and Ederson i feel is overrated.Ederson or Alisson?
Kane or Messi?
Camavinga?
Theo Hernandez?
Rodri?
All world class, all could deserve a spot?
Messi is no longer world class as he plays in a pub league, same with Ronaldo. Allison is past it now and has been for a couple of years and Ederson i feel is overrated.
Kane i dont think can do it under the highest pressure, I'll never forgive his open goal miss v Croatia in Russia when we were 1-0 up or the penalty miss v France 2 years ago which was worse than Dabo's!
Camavinga is very close, just went for De Bruyne but yes Camavinga could easily get that spot. Hernandez yes as well. Rodri another good shout but just think Tchoumeni is bit more mobile. Valverde id say isnt far off either.
Would Real Madrid fans consider Rodrygo a better player than Vini? Absolutely not.I think now there are very few world class players but currently id say as follows in a 4-2-3-1
Courtois
Kimmich Militao Dias Mendy
Tchouameni De Bruyne

Interesting Argentina didnt pick him against El Salvador with a Copa America around the corner.fair, although I’d still argue Messi is up there despite where he’s currently playing
