Defenders: Jarrad Branthwaite (Everton), Lewis Dunk (Brighton), Joe Gomez (Liverpool), Marc Guehi (Crystal Palace), Ezri Konsa (Aston Villa), Harry Maguire (Manchester United), Jarell Quansah (Liverpool), Luke Shaw (Manchester United), John Stones (Manchester City), Kieran Trippier (Newcastle), Kyle Walker (Manchester City)
Midfielders: Trent Alexander-Arnold (Liverpool), Conor Gallagher (Chelsea), Curtis Jones (Liverpool), Kobbie Mainoo (Manchester United), Declan Rice (Arsenal), Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace).
Forwards: Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid), Jarrod Bowen (West Ham), Eberechi Eze (Crystal Palace), Phil Foden (Manchester City), Jack Grealish (Manchester City), Anthony Gordon (Newcastle), Harry Kane (Bayern Munich), James Maddison (Tottenham), Cole Palmer (Chelsea), Bukayo Saka (Arsenal), Ivan Toney (Brentford), Ollie Watkins (Aston Villa).

Trafford, *Gomez, Guehi, Jones, Maddison, Bowen, Toney
*Suspect Gomez will be kept in because the can play anywhere across the back line and maybe one of the centre halves will miss out. I think he's an OK defender, but nothing special.
Not a Liverpool fan, but I really like Quansah. Close call between Guehi/Konsa. Bowen and Maddison would normally get in, but their competitors are all better options IMO. I'm amazed that Curtis Jones got in - surely his team mate Harvey Elliot is better?
I am really happy with the feel of the squad and looking forward to us tearing it up. I think we can win it this time (how many years of hurt? :-)).

Think we’ll do well and get to the semis at least.
After that it comes down to bottle.
Think we’ll score plenty but wonder whether our defence (whoever is playing) will be good enough to keep the opposition out.
Too many years of disappointment to consider winning it a real possibility.

Dunk is nowhere near international standard Apparently the rule is that 3 keepers must be included in the squad. Bizarre if you ask me as I think 2 should be enough. Depriving the opportunity for 1 of the other outfield players playing at a major tournament. |

If they only insisted on two keepers then they’d reduce squad size by one so it’s not really. Three keepers just gives teams that extra redundancy in case of injuries etc. |

Quansah Curtis Jones Arnold Gomez Eze Guehi Trafford I detect a slight bias there, I'd leave out Trafford, Dunk, Guehi, Jones, Maddison, Toney. I also agree with Jimianto about Gomez, who will probably be kept due to being a jack of all trades. Luke Shaw might be the 7th, due to not being fit. |

No Liverpool player should be near the England squad imo. After all they’re Scouse not English. |

Pope is a solid backup but he's still injured I believe. |

Pope is a solid backup but he's still injured I believe. You have to name three keepers. There was a team a few years ago who tried to name an outfield player as a goalkeeper, think it may have been Saudi Arabia. FIFA told them if they did that they could only player the player as a goalkeeper, which seems like FIFA overstepping their mark as usual as it's none of their business where a manager fields his players. |

Probably says a lot about how out of touch I am with the Premier League that I've never heard of some of these players.
Good to see he's dropped Rashford and J. Henderson. I don't really understand the criticism Southgate gets. For me he's achieved more than Sven, McClaren and Cappello combined even though the players he's working with aren't as good.
Not that arsed about England but I always enjoy international tournaments.

Linesman linesman. The famous game against Netherlands when so many decisions went against Graham Taylor has to be a game when a manager says where did I go wrong except for the officials. But then again he had already been called a turnip. But he did have major players all injured.

Bobby Robson got us to a WC SF where we lost on penalties. We'd probably have beaten Argentina as most of them were suspended for the final.
He also got us to a QF where we lost to the Maradona handball.
If only........
