Southgate has selected a very good squad with a lot of exciting newcomers as well as long established players .. I expect us to do well in the tournament
He hasn’t had the best of seasons, but there aren’t many nations on the planet who wouldn’t include Grealish in a 26 man squad.
But if you take him you have to drop one from Bowen, Gordon, Foden, Eze, Saka or Palmer. He's been worse than all of them this season
I know what you mean, but I think Grealish as a sub can maybe change a game more than Bowen, for example.
FWIW (Sod all) I'd have taken Grealish and Branthwaite, and dropped Bowen and one of Toney or Watkins.
The thing with the strikers is you have to take 3 of them, because if Kane gets injured then suddenly Watkins is starting and Toney might then be needed as a sub.
But in reality it's highly likely one of them won't play a single minute.
Interesting that in some areas Southgate has gone for players in form and then he's picked Dunk over Branthwaite.
Also i get there aren't many options but Ramsdale is probably lucky to get in, he's played only 3 times for Arsenal since December and they lost 2 of them.
I know they haven't all had great seasons. but there's some very talented players who haven't made the cut. Even in defence. It's not so long ago we were naming squads where some of the players were pretty much just making up the numbers.

I do wonder if he's also taken Toney with half an eye on penalty takers.

Have to hope there's time in the group to get people in a bit of form!

Great preparation for their summer!!
That must mean we have a decent chance then!
Only fair to return the favour
