Pleased Maddison was included. But Kyle Walker?! Injured and has not played a game since Sept he is not even back to full training!
Yes, but if we can get him fit, he'll be the best player in that competition. That's how it works, have you learned nothing over the last 11 months?But Kyle Walker?! Injured and has not played a game since Sept
Who would you have taken instead? It's a fairly uninspiring squad because it's a fairly uninspiring bunch to choose frompoor back line choices/selections and question marks over 2 or 3 of the forwards IMO
I wouldn't have taken dier he's dreadful coady again does he deserve to be playing in a WC I'm happy maddison has been chosen also Wilson he's a good striker I probably would have taken Toney
I guess GS is the same as KR places for his mates instead of places on merit

The last sentence was more aimed at Maguire I don't think he's good enough and Walker he hasn't played since September how does he deserve to go to the WCNo problem with Coady. He is an out and out defender though rather than a ball playing centre back. Dier can do one though.
No problem with Wilson either, a good PL player over a longer period than Toney. Also, the issue around Toney and betting may have had an impact.
Also, where has Southgate become 'mates' with Coady and Wilson?

More than we've gotOne left back
I think risking Walker is a risk worth taking.The last sentence was more aimed at Maguire I don't think he's good enough and Walker he hasn't played since September how does he deserve to go to the WC
Genuine question, how much have you seen of Smalling to make that judgement? It seems Tomori has been most harshly done by. I'd maybe have tried to take Burn as he can cover left back too but who would you be taking out, you can only remove Maguire once and even he's generally been pretty good for England so I can see why Southgate trusts him.Burn, Dunk, Ghuei, Smalling ( as mentioned above) - Toney
He was my wild card pick and my mates all still laugh at me for this view! I watch every premier league game I can and across his time at Brighton and now Newcastle, I’d argue he’s shown more consistency than any central defender we have selected in our squad. He’s not a fashionable choice given his frame but if you actually watch him, he’s a bloody good footballer who has all the attributes you could want for international football. I’m amazed he hasn’t been shown more consideration especially when Tyrone Mings has been shown a lot of blind faith simply for the fact he was left footed. Eric Dier has never and will never be a good enough defender and Maguire has hardly managed a good game since the Euros.Dan Burn plays left back for Newcastle doesn’t he? Surprised he wasn’t included
