to be fair, as much as Henderson is a massive bellend and fucked his own career, he’s been Ajax’s most important player and strong captain (not that i want to see him anywhere near England)

stoked for Rogers, Konsa and Rashford. gutted for Ollie - shows how poor his performance this season has been viewed if Tuchel isn’t seeing what he does off the ball for the team. much better player currently than Solanke even if he isn’t scoring

wait wtf Walker is in this squad too??? UGHHHHHH

Don’t give a shit about this stuff, he’s been reliable for England in the past.

It’s a weird squad though, I’m glad Burn got a call up but I don’t think Foden or Rashford have done enough.

Rashford has literally had what? 7 games for Villa? he’s been really good and got a lot of assists but not sure it’s enough to warrant an England call up. i am stoked for him though.

No Maguire at least but i’m getting strong Southgate vibes already

oh apparently Watkins is injured. balls

Some of these picks remind me of when Southgate seemed to be deliberately choose some people who were having a dip in form for their clubs.

BDB is not goo enough for England just saying, and I’m a toon fan.

Rashford shouldn’t be in that squad.

He’s taken Livramento

Hmmm I hope he’s not anti-Grealish like Southgate.

to be fair, this is his first squad, in friendlies, against easy opposition. he’s probably going to try a few different things between now and the important stuff

i don’t mind him being anti-Grealish if Jack is in bad form tbf though. the Southgate stuff was more some deep-seated personal grudge against Jack

Kind of get you but at the same time I can’t imagine too many international sides looking forward to facing him.

It’s a real shame Hall got injured.

Watkins went off at HT against Brugges with a niggle. Don’t mind him having a 2 week rest to be honest!

Was watching the amazon liverpool documentary earlier in the week and Pepijn Ljinders said that the most balanced england midfield three is Bellingham, Rice, and Jones. Tbh I’d quite like to see that tested

Lewis Hall best English LB for next 10 years easy. Will be him and Tino for England

I love Dan Burn, just not convinced at international level.

This squad is mad. The German is trying to sabotage us.

Not quite.

Let’s at least let him have one match :joy::joy::joy:

Gibbs White not making it but Henderson being in the squad is barmy!

The Angel Gomes experiment has not been carried over, I see. Midfield still looks a bit lightweight. Mainoo and Gallagher both omitted.
