Paid Members tiger_rick Posted May 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2018 Pretty fair looking squad I think. A lot of youth and some experience. He's picked people like Loftus-Cheek on what they've done for him and people like Nick Pope on their club form. He's picked players from clubs big and small. He's left out players with big reputations and lots of caps to do what he thinks is right. Personally, I think Welbeck is the only ridiculous selection. I can't really understand why James Milner isn't in. Otherwise, hard to complain. Edit: Seems Milner might have chucked England duty. So didn't know that.

SuperBacon Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Surely, Lawro's not going is he??? Great to see Alex Scott on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2018 Yeah let's take Danny Welbeck instead of Jadon Sancho. Such a progressive manager that Gareth Southgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamTH17 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018  Pleased that Hart hasn't gone. He's had a shocker of a season, taking him instead of Pope would have been a massive slap in the face which sets an entirely wrong precedent. Rose going over Bertrand is a bit of a weird one but I can't have that much of a grumble all things considered. Jake Livermore even being a standby has to be a wind up though, surely? Made up for TAA, he's had a stormer of a season and the only thing that was against him was the fact the competition for his spot was the strongest out of the whole lineup. Who are you lot fancying this year? Any chance of a possible sweepstake? Think I'm plumping for France, hopefully they'll put Euro 2016 behind them because on paper their squad supersedes pretty much anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're touting English prospects from the Bundesliga then Ademola Lookman has been involved in 7 goals in RBL's last 5 games. But you know, Welbs has workrate~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Teedy Kay Posted May 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2018 Honestly believe Ryan Sessegon should have gone. He has been the the most consistent and quality left sided player in the wingback-esque role in English football. A young lad with oodles of talent and in the form of his young career. He would have been absolutely perfect for Southgate's 352 formation. Our centre halves are turgid aren't they? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2018 If Sessegnon, Sancho and Lookman had gone then I might actually have been excited to watch England. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The lad needs a rest, not to be the 2018 of Theo Walcott. Sancho and Lookman shouldn't be anywhere near that squad for now either. Both look good players, but its way too early in their careers to be going to a major international tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Bifkin Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Yeah Sessegnon has looked incredible whenever I've seen him this year. If we are talking Englishmen abroad Mason Mount might have been close. He's been sensational at Vitesse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted May 16, 2018 Paid Members Share Posted May 16, 2018 It's the typical English mindset of being too young and lacking experience instead of backing actual natural talent and flair that might win England games in an increasingly attack-minded international and continental footballing landscape.

That's not true though is it? Sessegnon looks damn good, but he needs a break after a long season. And the other lads haven't played masses in the Bundesliga this year to warrant being in the squad despite looking like quality youngsters. I'd argue it's the typical English mindset of over hyping players from a young age only to see them burn out and fans turn on them for not fulfilling their potential.
