let me give you the squads uh if you’re just tuning in this is the squad that Gareth Southgate has named 33 man squad seven of them will uh be trimmed by June the 7th and that’s when the official 26-man Euro Squad will be confirmed so the squad that he announced today has four Keepers Dean Henderson Jordan pford Aaron ramsdale and James Trafford might be a surprise some never play for England uh The Defenders Jared branway Lewis dunk Joe Gomez Mark gahi ezri coner Harry MaGuire d quanser Luke Shaw Jon Stones Kieran trippier and Kyle Walker yet to play for England Jared branway and it’s a first call up for JAL quanser in Midfield Trent Alexander Arnold Conor Gallagher Curtis Jones cobby minu Dean rice and Crystal Palace is Adam wton both Warton and Jones have never been called up before and a lot of Strikers and these will be Whitted down Jude Bellingham um and G Southgate said don’t get too caught up in the fact he’s in the list of squ of Strikers Jud Bellingham Jared Bowen e chza Phil foden Jack greish Anthony Gordon Harry Kane James Madison Cole Palmer Bayo saaka Ivan Tony Ole Watkins all included uh Gordon and Palmer could both actually start it wouldn’t be Unthinkable to think they start the first game against Serbia they’ve played two games for England each uh this squad is also at the website talksport.com this show is on talk sports YouTube uh account and on uh Facebook as well so if you want to take a good look at Darren bent feel free so no Marcus rashford no Raheem St Sterling no Ben chilwell and no Jordan Henderson Luke Shaw is in but it’s worth saying that Gareth Southgate said it’s a long shot because he has got an injury um got an amazing text there why is pford the shooting on number one or why do you think I mean what seriously he’s this is this is a guy whose Everton sides uh were in relegation danger for a lot of the Season he’s kept the second highest number of clean sheets behind David ryer this SE this is Jordan PF you’ve seen his distribution this is a if he moved to say Chelsea this summer nobody would B an eyelid he’s that level can we just give some respect to the name Jordan PF I don’t get it he’s had a good he’s had a good season this season forever and you’re right he’s always been there there about it was always about his emotions sometimes he got a little bit carried away but the last couple of Seasons I’ve been impressed for sure did I tell you about two people in the middle of Glasgow when England played Scotland last year I was there for for talk Sport and in the middle of glasgo I’m just walking down the street a couple came up to me I said are you are you Adrian dur talk sport I said yeah he said who would you pick in goal I said well Jordan pford we’re Aaron ramsdell’s parents oh no it’s like the worst start to a conversation ever I was expecting the next line to be why do you hate Arsenal but no it wasn’t U they were very they were lovely people actually I have to say um let’s uh get to your calls William’s a Chelsea fan William how are you’re on talk sport what do you want to say guys how’s it going really good good to have you on oh yeah and I mean I’m liking what he’s picked off but there’s one player that I’m I’m actually quite shocked he hasn’t picked and that’s salanki and be mind he scored 19 goals this season and I and don’t get me wrong I know Tony you know he’s he can play well and he does do that link up play very well but I think honestly you want to go into the Euros with Goal scores and and walk into sanki this season very very good in the Premier League and I think it’s a real shame that he didn’t get his opportunity to go in the squad you know William I I agree there because again his numbers this season have been brilliant s lank he’s played really well but also G Southgate likes players that have come through like the kind of England youths now listen he’s won the World Cup at under 17 I think it was he won the World Cup at under 20 Level and he also won the European championships at under 17 so he he he knows what it’s like to be a major tournament for his country he’s won major tournaments and as you said there’s he’s had the form of his life so if you’re dominant sank right now you’re gutted you can’t help but be gutted because you you’ve had the season of your life and he may never do this again and there’s another one more play as well which I would have I can understand that he’s played with the under 21 T OT but I think in that Midfield he gives you something a little bit different and very versatile that also he could have been selected as well but I know he’s being played for the under 21s but I think as well he could have quite easily gotten this squad as well I’m I’m a big fan of Harvey Elliott it was interesting thanks for the call William interesting that Jurgen Club a couple of weeks ago was asked about Harvey Elliott and he actually came out and said I regret not playing him more this season and it felt like he was saying I’m really sorry it looks like I may have robbed him of a chance of playing for England at this tournament the other thing with Harvey Elliott is players in that position I mean where would you play him I think he can play in central Midfield but hasn’t been playing there for for Liverpool Curtis Jones has hence he’s been caught up on Salan we’ve got so many forward players and yet no salanki in there and on the face of it you’re looking at Ivan Tony who’s been out for half the season then he’s had an injury as well and you’re thinking well how does he get in ahead of salanki I think this is where you look at how they wear the shirt because it’s a heavy you know it’s a heavy heavy shirt to wear I mean those three lines the expectation the pressure look we’re talking about a training Squad and the and the board is full of calls and we’ll get to them in a second but you’ve got to be able to wear the shirt and and still be yourself and it looks like from what we’ve seen so far will be at limited time Ivan Tony is exactly that man he just know he carries it so well and that’s why I think with Watkins and sanki both guys have an incredible Watkins for me I mean he was close to being player of the season with with these stats the goals and the assists but just off the eye test looking at the last couple of Internationals Ian Tony against Belgium just looked like he’d been playing International football for years and that comfortable the penalty there was no doubt he was ever going to miss that penalty so I just wonder if G looked at that and gone I can’t really ignore that you compare and and it sounds so harsh cuz Watkins has been brilliant he seems like a really good as well yeah you compare his performance in his game to Ivans in his his game and it was a world of difference but he’s in there OE Watkins I’m no doubt I get some game time in the two friendlies and and there’s another chance for him there he may even go with Ivan Tony and Harry Kane who knows um but it is Harsh on on salanki um kieran’s a Leicester city fan hi you mate you’re on talk sport hello guys how’s it going all right all good mate very well good to have you on not bad not bad um yeah I just want to I just think that us as England fans and including myself we’re very thickle we’re never happy but for once I’m actually looking at Southgate and I think you know what mate I’m glad you’ve got a bit of balls and called up players who are in form and not just off their name or their club and look at that Warton for Palace he’s a cracking player but then you can’t you can’t moan that he’s not called up rashford or the only the only complaint from me and again this is me including in the fickleness um I would have probably I’d rather have Sancho over Curtis Jones but apart from that I’m hang to say this is I’m bewildered by that honestly sorry Jaden Sancho is a wide player Curtis Jones is a central midfielder you can’t you can’t compare the two what what what are you thinking there no yeah no no I completely hear what you’re saying really do really do it’s that’s again that’s the only little thing I have but your argument is very much valid but apart from that I am very happy with the with the squad with the team he’s called upon um I can’t really see Jones having as much of an impact as Sancho would that’s what I’m trying to say I thought going to say JW brall not long soon well back in the Premier League to prove a point next season um list I think central Midfield is is an issue uh for England and Henderson has gone that’s a big bold call we all expected Henderson to be in I heard you and Andy talking about it on the show yesterday everybody expected Henderson to be in and he’s not in that Squad and a lot of England fans will be happy with it I’m pleased that kieran’s happy with the squad it’s nice positivity is a brenford fan what are you thinking Chris hi there nice afternoon chaps um to be honest I’ve when I heard about these players that weren’t going to be going I thought are we going to see a squad that’s actually going to be with players that have never played before so when they came out and I saw those players that weren’t I thought this is absolutely perfect I mean I personally and everyone was going to be shocked I wouldn’t have taken Ivan Tony to start with but now he’s the squad I’m thinking actually do you know what he might just be able to get us off the line if it comes to a penalty shootout Chris Chris Chris how’s his form been um because I know V has been on fire scoring goals but how’s Tony been well that’s the think Tony he’s been a bit hit and miss he came straight back for us at the start of start of the year and absolutely was on fire and then set back and then we got Yan wer who absolutely has been perfect and now we’re at that point where people going well Tony’s going to go Tony’s going to go I’m thinking well if we can keep Visa that’s absolutely perfect for us I listen they play attacking players Strikers and and without Tony they cop they survived as Thomas Frank said a challenging season and he’s come back and those first few games he was Sensational no doubt about it um and I I can see him going I can see him having an impact as well Off the Bench Ivan Tony is going to be fascinating this summer couple of other texts very quickly why on Earth is James tarkovski not being uh picked as he plays with pford every week that’s Beno and Liverpool I think we just talked about this that listen they’ve got some good clean sheets this season Everton defensively one of the best in the Premier League despite the position but you got to remember in front of them Anana dor ad gay yeah you know and England don’t play like that it’s the D setup is is defensively minded so whilst our defend pford because he’s never let England down I’m looking at the others I’m looking at what bran white does on the ball and how calm he is and how he’s passing to the ball tarkovski you know I think there’s been a couple of erors in there but been saved Maybe by pford you can’t pick all of Everton’s defense no as solid as it’s been yeah um how is Tony or Watkins an argument Watkins been one of the best in the League this season Tony scored once since the new year uh he scored more than that Nick but it’s about sometimes how you are around the camp and with that heavy England shirt as as well and Andy and Glasgow says Jon Stones played defensive Midfield in the Champions League final last year got man of the match he’s more than adequate uh backup for rice if he gets injured I thought rodri was man of the match but um he’s just not been playing Jon Stones is he it’s very strange that because pep has got a habit of doing that where players you’re thinking oh he’s going to start he just doesn’t all of a sudden leaves him out for a season yeah it’s it’s been a weird one in terms of the uh stats for Jon Stones um his numbers in terms of playing uh he’s got 21 starts out of 38 in the Premier League this season it’s not it’s not a lot he’s made a contribution still a good player but um not a huge amount on am on da via the talk sport

Fair play to southgate for not picking thrashford , henderson , dier and chillwell them players not been good enough but to have maguire , joe gomez , lewis dunk ,grealish, curtis jones and toney in the squad is comical๐
Hopefully Stones won't be too tired going into the Euros then.
And solanke did it all without the service of the other forwards
Solanke is a better player than Watkins.
Hands down.
How is Maguire in and tarkofski not in?
Except there is no left back.
Whereโs Tyrick Mitchell?
Iโd rather have him in the squad than Kieran Trippier, a RB and in poor form, playing out of position.
You know that when you're looking for knowledgeable insight into a reaction from a pundit and your search reveals,,, Well, your no longer scraping out the barrel, your hoping to find a nugget amongst the silt. ๐
Hope this choice of squad and dropping Rashy will not effect
his future working with him when he takes over as manager at Man U.
Whoever has a problem with Gomez obviously didnt watch a single game this season. He was epic in LB and RB both. The mystery has more to do with why Southgate picked Curtis over Elliott
Southgate has been robbing a living as a coach for far too long. He should be locked up in prison for fraud against the English public.
Ramsdale is better than Pickford
Jaydon Danns ??
Grelish should be left behind not even started 10 games this year
John Stones though, i forgot about him hes not been seen in so long. What a player, how do you leave him out. Cant wait for Euros
His insistence in feeling sorry and playing Maguire will cost us once more
The lack of quality in defence will be the downfall
With the players Gareth has picked, we have to play 3-2-4-1
Pickford
Walker. Maguire. Stones
Trent/Gallagher/Mainoo Rice
Saka. Jude. Foden. Palmer
Kane
The 4 can be fluid and interchangeable. Kane will drop deep so we'll get Bellingham and Foden running into forward spaces. Saka, Palmer, Trent, Walker and Gallagher can provide width when needed
England must attack. Our defence is a bit weak but we can outscore any team if we go for it for a change.
Toney should go purely if we get into a penalty shootout ๐ guaranteed goal
People disrespecting Maguire being in the squad is crazy. Guy has never let England down despite critiscism and he has been in team of the tournament multiple times!
Maguire and Pickford aswell are the same, both give everything for their country and so they should be in the team.
Southgate said after the match that the team showed the spirit of the England team in the 66 World Cup! FFS. That was 58 fkn years ago. None of the team nor himself was born at that time. The guy is fkn mental.
