    Would have preferred some variety with no internationals for four months after this. Maybe the inclusion of Gordon and Palmer ahead of next summer. Still think Henderson’s repeated selection is a disgrace.

    While the rest will do them a world of good so in a sense I’m relieved. But Longstaff, Willock & Gordon have been robbed by pensioners in Saudi & bench warmers ffs.

    If you’re gonna play some who usually don’t get a chance can you at least mix it up with some of the usual starters.

    Throwing 11 players in who’ve never played together isn’t really a fair representation of what they potentially could offer

    If you’re Anthony Gordon, Cole Palmer, James Ward Prowse and Sean Longstaff, you must be thinking “what the fuck do I have to do to get in this squad?”

    There’s zero incentive to get in form for Southgate world. I’m starting to think he doesn’t even watch games.

    Wonder if we’ll get another pre-match interview with Henderson about how he’s actually the greatest guy ever, you just don’t understand him.

      Literally no matter who he picks, people will be furious. It’s almost like people can have different perspectives and opinions. It’s weird and it makes me angry

    Feel like Southgate keeps including Henderson just to spite everyone who talks shit about him and says we need a new manager, because he’s definitely not doing it for footballing reasons.

      Pleased for Johnstone but lack of Pope is baffling when Ramsdale isn’t playing regularly.

        Southgate, for better or worse, has never picked players on how frequently they are playing

          Throw Maguire into the mix too when there’s probably other defenders playing regularly/better than him. Nice to see Tomori in the squad after people saying he wasn’t getting picked because he wasn’t playing in the Prem. Not sure if Henderson still being picked has anything to do with it.

      You’ll need to CTRL F Maguire and replace it with Rashford though given their respective forms… funny how things change in football.
