How on earth has Madueke got anywhere close to that squad?

How did he get a move to Cheatski, and then to the goons!!!

I guess he's decided on how he wants to play, with natural wide players rather than surplus #10s, and can't accommodate Bellingham, Rogers, Foden and Palmer. It opens him up to obvious criticism if England flop, but he'll get that anyway, so he might as well do it his way.

Burn and Henderson seem wasted selections. Would be better to gamble on players who can make something happen (e.g. Gibbs White).

Agree on Burn but not Henderson. If your 1-0 up with 10 minutes to go and Rice goes down, I’m brining on the guy that’s captained a team to win the Prem & European Cup and player in 6 major tournements over a Mainoo/Wharton.

So’s my nan, she’s also 91 and still only one goal and two assists behind him this season.

Toney, Burns, he is having a laugh.

At least we have a manager who now picks the team he wants and thinks can win in his style, rather than in the past picking on club and reputation

Tbf I think Henderson and Mainoo are in on rep and club over Wharton. That one makes zero sense to me.

Depends what he wants from them players though I suppose. Mainoo and Wharton are in no way similar players, so I suppose he has a vision in his head for roles.

Yeah, he's admitted he hasn't picked the 26 most talented footballers. Armchair fans don't/cant appreciate things not seen on the football pitch such as squad chemistry that are important factors for tournament football.

I don't ever recall there being an England squad announced that didn't have a load of people complaining about who hasn't picked - And let's be honest, it's not like he's left prime Maldini and R9 at home....

Maybe he thinks if burns gets someone in headlock England will get a penalty.

It's the Walcott Syndrome.

Most of us could look at that squad and think at least 5 players shouldn't be in it. It's the lack of eligible players in our game. Clubs spent years and money filling our teams with average overseas players.
Many of those players may have been better than the young players at clubs but they have stopped homegrown development. Every team have 5/6 overseas players sitting on their benches.
Just need to look at us, Wolves and West Ham, all down the bottom of table full of substandard overseas buys.
All our chickens have come home to roost.

The thing is that those 5 won't play a minute anyway.
It's like that in every country. All the discussion is about those last fringe players. None of them will play at all.

The guy's a German, he won't want England to win it obviously

More like 8/9 won't player
