They only have themselves to blame to be honest. This is the table after gameweek 33.
How the fuck did they manage to lose their CL spot to Liverpoool, they were 8 points ahead with 5 games to go.

Phil Foden 3 EPL titles he’s not even 20. I hope they spank Chelsea so he can win a UCL before 21.

Nice that Aguero got a couple of goals in his last game.

England’s provisional 33 man squad has been announced - to be cut to 26 on Tuesday 1st.
I’m guessing Southgate is dragging it out to see if Maguire is passed fit?

Major headline - no Ings, Bamford or Dier (hooray!)

Goalkeepers Dean Henderson, Sam Johnstone, Jordan Pickford, Aaron Ramsdale

Defenders Trent Alexander-Arnold, Ben Chilwell, Conor Coady, Ben Godfrey, Reece James, Harry Maguire, Tyrone Mings, Luke Shaw, John Stones, Kieran Trippier, Kyle Walker, Ben White

Midfielders Jude Bellingham, Jordan Henderson, Jesse Lingard, Mason Mount, Kalvin Phillips, Declan Rice, James Ward-Prowse

Forwards
Dominic Calvert-Lewin, Phil Foden, Jack Grealish, Mason Greenwood, Harry Kane, Marcus Rashford, Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho, Raheem Sterling, Ollie Watkins

A lot of those have just forced their way in with good form which is good to see, very glad to see Trippier in there but feel a bit for Bamford as he’s outscored both Watkins and Calvert-Lewin now. I expect to see Ben White to make a big move in the summer.

No Eric Dier that’s all I care about.

No Maddison or AWB though.

I’ll be pissed if Trent doesn’t go, but Kyle Walker has been outstanding for City this season.

If we can get a team with at least Foden, Mount, Grealish, Rice, pos Sterling & Kane in the starting 11 we should fuck shit up.

That’s a strong squad. Hard not to feel sorry for Ings and Bamford, but Southgate can’t take everyone.
Is it better to be in the provisional 33 man squad, and then get cut, or better to not make the cut at all?

4 x RBs in that squad, I wonder who will miss out?

Trent and Reece James I think.

You could justify taking 3 if you treat Walker as more of a centre back. The 26 man final squad means you get a bit more leeway and Walker’s versatility will help.

I’m a bit gutted for Joe Willock. Scored a lot more than most in that squad and in amazing form.

I would have taken him over Greenwood.

I’d think whoever doesn’t make it will feel better knowing they’re are still in Southgate’s mind for the future maybe, and will make them work harder, than just being left at home completely and feeling forgotten about.

This is a generation now where we can smash tournaments. Just play Foden and Grealish and I won’t give a fuck whatever happens. Just some pure flair and talent on the pitch.

Good call, arguing over squad places feels a bit pointless when we can field these two. I’m so glad Southgate saw reason with the latter as well, it was getting embarrassing.

We all know he’s going to play a back 5 with 2 holding midfielders!
