I hope not. Waaaay too early.
Southgate seems too pragmatic than to make flavour of the month selections, so I don't think he will.

Smith Rowe says hi!

Perfect example. As is Bellingham.
Southgate takes a considered long term approach to to a couple of spots in the squad. Before the Euros, it was Bellingham, to see if had was up to being on the pathway.
Smith Rowe is now on the WC path way.
I can't see Skipp getting ahead of Bellingham, Henderson, Rice or Phillips in 12 months.
He has a great chance in the next cycle, post WC. So he might get some exposure in summer friendlies - those games will show who Southgate considerd 5/6 option and he'll need to prepare in case of injury.

Conte is the perfect manager to develop Skipp following on from a successful loan last season.

We seem to play quite a few passes that could be described as trying too hard and rushing it in general. When they come off at break lines of pressure quickly at good times to do so. When they don't it looks rushed.
I think it's more part of our style at the moment more than anything.
Agree that Skipp should look to improve. Not going to take massive steps on the ball and become Alonso or Modric, but he's a consistent pass and move player within short and medium range passing at least. Technically sound. No reason not to think he won't impove incrementally. And as the system gets better drilled he could perhaps even take some real further steps this season.

That's not a very high bar, Rice is a centreback playing in midfield.
Finney Is Back
Luka Modric
Rice is a fantastic player.
Gazza
Nick Barmby
Whatever you would like to classify him as is fine, but there is no dispute about him being a fine player.

That through ball to Kane was... Ndombelesque and should have been an assist. Can't believe Harry didn't bury it.

Perhaps as I've seen him play more for England than West Ham I have a low opinion of him, he appears a player who has limited passing and is always looking to play back or sideways, he is guilty of ball watching and doesnt seem to read situations. I think Kalvin Phillips is a much better player.

Martin Peters
He is much better for West Ham
Finney Is Back
Luka Modric
They are both excellent players and will likely have the 4 big clubs in England all prepared to pay a large transfer fee to bring them in.
Gazza Dazzla
Chris Perry
Yea agree, looks quality for West ham but a bit laboured for England at times (although I thought he was really good in the 1st half of the Euro final)
Bedfordspurs
Martin Peters
Agree
I think for England he doesn’t know when to attack so he plays it safe
For west ham he knows his team and role better

Second game in a row in which Skipp has outshone his central midfield partner. I thought he was excellent today.

He really was
He bossed his opposition

The opposition wasn't fantastic but he rose to display his quality. It's exciting to have him in the team.
I really like the move where he slide tackles but also spins on the floor to quickly get up and run away with the ball.
