Think it will come to an end round 16 for England as it could be Germany in Germany for us.

If we come 2nd in that group we might as well give up.

Unlucky loss again under Gareth in his waistcoat. Another wasted group of talent with a boring wank manager. Laughable that he's touted as next Man Utd manager. When he finally does fuck off from England, can only see him getting a job with Palace, if he's lucky

Have I read that correctly or just had a dream? Jordan Henderson hasnt made the England Squad? Is it going to snow too?

Rashford too. It’s almost like Southgate is paying attention to games.

I have no issues with those who have missed out, with the exception of Eric Dier and Dominic Solanke who should make the 33 ahead of Ivan Toney and Quansaah. Dier should get in the 26.

But, on who has got in. Shaw is crocked which means that it’s Trippier or Gomez at left back. We have got a massive problem at left back now.

I don’t have any issue with the central midfield players who are in the 33. Especially as those who are listed as attackers can play in there (Bellingham, Maddison etc). 

Have we got any centre half in any sort of form at all? Stones can’t get in the City team. The rest are horribly out of form.

As I see it now, our only way to have any chance of getting far is by being firmly on the front foot, a good side with a spell of pressure will score against us.

Could Leif Davis not have come in as cover if Shaws fitness is an issue, just a thought

It might be a bit too soon for Davis. But the rate he’s progressing and if he has a good first prem season, he’s got a real chance to taking that spot.

The other one is Alfie Doughty at Luton, especially if he gets a move this summer.

I can’t understand picking a squad of 33 and not including any specialist  left back cover.  Luke Shaw does not sound as though he will be fit and even if he does make it, he will be well short of match practice. I would have selected one of Tyrick Mitchell or Rico Lewis over Gomez / Quansah.

Hope Branthwaite is given a chance in run up.  He looks the best of the newer centre backs.

So, I reckon there are 3 starting places up for grabs,  Pickford, Walker, Stones, Rice, Bellingham, Foden, Saka and Kane certain starters, defence worries me and is probably the reason we won’t win it, reckon the missing three will be Maguire, Mainoo and Trippier

Agree on Maguire and Trippier, but I’ve got a feeling TAA will be shoe-horned into midfield. 
Either way Foden will be stuck out wide again.

Trippier has rolled his ankle playing in that meaningless friendly against Tottenham in Melbourne. 

That leaves Gomez playing left back

Nah. Has to get Chilwell or Rico Lewis  in.

Ffs. I'd play Palmer ahead Gomez

Don’t get Gomez, it’s Phil Neville all over again. Not international class but gets selected because he can cover multiple positions 

Plays for a club that Gareth bums in his sleep.....

 

He's fucking wank.

Out of interest potentially the date of the General Election is quite canny here.

Just after the round of 16 so be banking on England getting thru, probably hoping Scotland are out and they will all be grumpy and blame the SNP

Quarter finals on the Friday and Saturday so when Southgate fucks up it won't have an impact.

Levi Colwill has had a good second half to the season and should have been in the 33

Why does Pickford start?

It's not like Southgate doesn't know what he can do and it's not like Pickford hasn't had the practice while he's played for Everton. 

Only thing I can think of is Southgate knows his preferred centre halves are both crocked so he's got to see how Pickford handles the reserve line as they might be the ones starting

Dunt matter. With Southgate in charge we're doing nowt. Another talented squad wasted.

All the time he's had to build and he is still scratching his arse. Be another "we were robbed" again when we come up against a decent side when we pluckily lose, when everyone else apart from Mr Tickbox can see the game is there for the taking

I’d actually do it. Tell Walker to follow the ball up the pitch but tell Saka to just raid down that left side. It might give TAA something to hit on the diagonal too.

Then you go and fucking spoil it...BLOCKED 😂
