I don't think he has a chance I'm afraid. English snobbery will see to that. Clean sheets are not really comparable in Scotland against the other English keepersSurely SJB gets the nod. Played over 50 times this season with 25 clean sheets
No way can Ramsdale be called up ahead of him
Henderson in midfield you mean? playing Bellingham is probably too close to attacking for GarethSurely Southgate has to let the handbrake off this time

Think he might make it in the 30 man provisional squad. That will get cut but who knows what the final choice will be. Playing in the EPL I think he'd be a certSurely SJB gets the nod. Played over 50 times this season with 25 clean sheets

I said similar last week but thinking about it how does he do this without them being totally vulnerable against one of the top teams. The lack of a top midfielder to play next to Rice is probably as big an issue as the defence

I reckon he goes Trafford as the 4th keeper, somebody who has been in a relegation fight all season with BurnleyAlmost a guarantee Southgate either calls up Butland for the provisional squad and cuts him for the actual squad or doesnt call him up at all and goes for a young English keeper
Rice as the 6, Bellingham the 8, Foden the 10.
And also won the euros at u21 level last summer where he didn’t concede a goal.I reckon he goes Trafford as the 4th keeper, somebody who has been in a relegation fight all season with Burnley
Said that ages ago. Starred for the U21s in the summer when they won a tournament and if you take your blue tinted specs off and look at it rationally it makes far more sense for a young keeper to go and get the experience rather than Jack who is now reaching veteran stages.
Who do they play though? For all the talk about how great this England side is I personally don’t think it’s a very balanced squad. The lad Mainoo’s form seemed to dip towards the end of the season.I think that’s too attacking, considering the weak defence they have. Especially against a team like France.
Would make great viewing as a neutral though
I think one of him or Rashford won't go in the 26. Would have thought both would be in the squad today but maybe not if Bowen is as is being suggested.I’ve a feeling he will leave Grealish out of this.
Wouldn’t be surprised at that at all. Showed you the stats between him, Rashford and Gordon earlier on SSN and he has played almost 1/3 of the minutes Gordon has this season.I’ve a feeling he will leave Grealish out of this.

Rashford is a certainty despite the fact he hasn't kicked his arse at Man Utd all seasonI think one of him or Rashford won't go in the 26. Would have thought both would be in the squad today but maybe not if Bowen is as is being suggested.
I suspect they would play the 2nd choice goalie, or 3rd choice if they take 4.1. what happens if they have injuries/suspensions & they need Trafford to play given he was abject in the the top league

Do you think his mental bevy session last summer has played a part in limited game time this season? I actually wouldn’t be shocked if he left City in the summer either and he was brilliant last half of last season.
I suspect they would play the 2nd choice goalie, or 3rd choice if they take 4.
Brazil took Ronaldo to the World Cup in 94 with no intention of playing him.
Front three of Kane, Saka and Palmer
Supported by a midfield 3 of Bellingham, Foden and Rice would be the ones he should be picking.
The defence is extremely vulnerable.
I agree with that. It’s a squad full of great players but how balanced is it?A lot of assumptions here that Rice will play as the 6. His real form for Arsenal has been based on Arteta moving him out of that position and playing more freely left of centre.
I don’t rate Southgate at all but he does have an awkward dilemma where 3 or 4 of his best players generally play in the same position and there are weaknesses elsewhere.
Who will be the LB’s in the squad? Struggling to think of any other than Shaw and Inthink he’s actually injured?
Is he back fit?Trippier will likely play there ?
After Gazza and the France 98 squad announcement debacle theyve tried to include everyone for as long as possible.Lot of pish this naming 30 man squads just for it to be cut again in a few weeks
Gomez did well there for Liverpool when Robertson was injured, Trippier can play there too and Tyrick Mitchell has been part of squads recently.Who will be the LB’s in the squad? Struggling to think of any other than Shaw and Inthink he’s actually injured?
