Go back to the 2018 WC squad ... Kane 24 Dele Alli 23 and Sterling 22.  Kane had the least number of caps of the three

Thats why you know nothing about football donny, come and watch dirty Leeds and be educated.

I don't see any problem with anyone left out, maybe bar Maguire, fit, in form, confidence, whereas John Stones, deemed not good enough for City that's way past it's best, and has no form or fitness.

But that's about it.

Foden and Palmer have been either non existent or awful.

Gibbs-White maybe harsh but really if you have Bellingham and Rogers in that position, you don't need Gibbs-White.

Bowen maybe hard done by, but he hasn't been at his best, playing in a poor West Ham team tbf, but he's really missed out to Madueke, which felt 50/50.

I think Eddie Howe has cost both Ramsdale and Pope a real chance, by chopping and changing, and generally having a poor season by their recent standards.

Toney won the Asian Champions League, gotta count for something
Burn doesn't fil you with confidence, but he wont be starting games will he, he's a last 10 minutes guy to offer something up top from a set piece. Good character and leader to help keep younger players in check imo, same with Henderson.
Spence is lucky really.
Haven't seen much of Quansah.
Think Gordon is really back up Rashford, who else would be back up left side of attack?
Stones shouldn't be there imo.

It really just shows it is a foreign premier league now , only just over 50 english qualified players started half the games . thats why you have players that dont start or play in a pub league being picked

No one will agree on all the squad but I would've taken a younger
player than Henderson.Few left out must be gutted for him to be
getting the nod.

James Garner is a shocking omission.

Have to agree Nobby. Obviously i am biased but Garner has been Everton's most consistent performer over the past two seasons, has a real eye for a pass and can also cover at full back if required (he played there throughout the U21's victorious Euros campaign last year).  To see the likes of Henderson getting picked instead must be very dispiriting.

I think Cole Palmer is very unlucky as well despite what others have said about his fitness and lack of form. He has still managed to score 9 prem goals despite missing a third of the season which is obviously down on his usual stats but still fair for a midfielder/winger. DCL and Watkins are both out and out strikers and each have 14 goals  having played more games than Palmer. So i think he can feel aggrieved at not getting in.

The defence really worries me, the likes of Spence and Quansah are presumably only back ups but the fact they are in the squad shows the lack of quality available.

Having said that, England have a real opportunity to win it this time as there are no real stand out teams. The bookies have left them unchanged at a general 6/1 third favs which is a bit miserly but probably about right.

Lots of those are going to be injured during the tournie.

I saw Jamie Redcrap go to Liverpool with Solizie the other night. Whilst in the café there he saw two international players going to the Workd Cup.

He asked them who they feared in the tournament, neither said England!

McAllister laughed as Redcrap when he said you don’t give us a squeek?!

Can you imagine if he was asking now that the squad has been released?

Maybe Jamie wouldn’t have bothered asking now!
