Yes, possible based on ability alone. However, it’s Southgate so you never know.

He will do, yeah. Seems like Southgate wants to stick with a core squad going into the Euros so unless there’s a big injury or he racks up some unbelievable numbers before the end of the season it won’t be until the 2026 WC cycle.

He kind of fulfils that Henderson role well for youse. I think if it weren't for injury he'd defo be in this squad. Might just be a bit too late though for him to be in the Euros now, time shall tell.

Maddison is injured. Henderson shouldnt be there.

Poor distribution. I think that's the only reason but it's not the worst reason.

We don't complain because trippier and walker are clearly better for England, in a fair world he's in way less england Sqauds because we don't need 3 right backs we just feel the need to include him and put him in midfield or something

Who would you suggest to be Declan Rice's back-up at defensive midfield?

He started the Italy game. Why wouldn’t he be?

I’d say he’s more in bowens position….

…..who has been the clear 2nd best RW after saka for 3 years and has only been called up 3(?) times that entire time

But JWP has had a few call ups and clearly isn't offering what the manager wants.

Trying to gel together a squad isn't easy but people seem to want the 23 most inform players in reach call up.

He used to play for Chelsea but used to play for City. Of course he's getting picked.

"Can't believe [player] has been called up, what about [player who plays an entirely different position]"

fucking hell villa fans are the absolute nitpickers in chief for the england team, whichever mediocre player you have isn't picked you complain, and now your pick of the month has been chosen you're still complaining!
