Gareth - Hi Jared, I'm short of CB's in 10 days time, I have special dispensation from UEFA to bring in an extra defender, how are you fixed for the Euro dates.
Jared - **** off Gareth.

Is it just my complete and utter bias, that I believe if JB was in that defence tonight we would have been far more composed and the distribution into MF would have been much higher quality?

How the likes of Branthwaite and also Tomori at AC Milan are not picked ahead of defenders like Dunk and Guehi is baffling.
Southgate has lost the plot and should have left after the last World Cup.

A lot of contradictory comments from Southgate,comments that it’s to early for Branthwaite ,yet puts Quansah on stand by instead . Dunk not fit for tonight ,Shaw not played for 4 months , Stones in and out of fitness and selection for months, big mistake leaving Branthwaite out. Also concerned by Gordon’s comments , ( A little rusty because I have only trained once in 4 weeks) Wharton and Eze in the squad mainly on the back of half a game against Bosnia ,big call putting those 3 in front of Greelish and Maddison.

Also playing Ramsdale who barely played last season over Henderson who had a really good end to the season. Certainly looks like Southgate doesn't fancy JB.

So they say The Premier League is the best league in the world and JB has played virtually a full season in the league against some of the best players in the world but is deemed not ready for international football yet. Seems like a cop out by Southgate to me.

Seems like a cop out by Southgate to me. Completely. He played every PL game bar 1 He was part of the second best defence in PL in a mediocre/poor team. He was Everton's player of the season so arguably the most in form English defender. He's 100% fit but we're taking others with injuries and fitness worries. He's left sided and footed and we only have 1 unfit left footed defender in the squad. We are taking loads of players with very little experience. Possibility been blinded by the fact he's a Cumbrian and the windfall, but I'm just really struggling with Southgate's decision not to start him, never mind not take him.

I wonder if it could have something to do with Southgate being the favorite for the Man utd job. He gets ordered by Man utd to not take Branthwaite to the Euros so they can sign him early and cheaper from Everton before the end of June as Everton need to avoid PSR breaches.

Crystal Palace with the most players in the squad (4), who would have believed that from the ex-Palace youth graduate

One of the reasons given for the omission of Greelish ,was he isn’t a regular starter for his club. It’s a hell of a lot different playing for the likes of Man City than Crystal Palace. It would be interesting if the likes ofWharton went to Liverpool,would he be ahead of the likes of Jones and Elliot .

Southgate has named his squad to win the Euros. It’s France!

Of all the clubs he could go to it’s looking like Manchester Uf***ingnited. Great for us to get the money but I’m not convinced this is a great career move. I’d much rather see him at Madrid, or Bayern or even Man City. I'm not convinced either but I don't think the likes of Madrid and Munich can afford him or would be willing to pay so much for him at this stage.

Twice the player than Jones.
