    It’s Malta and North Macedonia. You could call up 23 fellas from Vannarama conference and thrash them tbh.

    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.

    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.

    I’d be surprised if anyone new comes into the squad for the euros. I can only see James, Shaw and Chilwell being included. Maybe Sterling if Rashford form persists.

    I’d be livid if I was JWP or Gordon

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

          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.

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

      Midfielders representing: Liverpool, Real Madrid, Chelsea, Arsenal, Manchester City & Al-Ettifaq

      I’m sorry but that is absolutely hilarious

    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?”

      Usually, I’d be with you, but this time I’m thrilled. He desperately needs a break, looked wrecked against Dortmund.

      Glad he’s getting rest tbh, he’s looked dead on his feet the last couple games. If he keeps playing this well, his time will come

        Yeah he wasn’t particularly fluid vs Dortmund but no really was for Newcastle. Apart from livramento, he looked good.

    Curtis, Gomes,Gordon and Gibbs-white were all so good in the u21s euros and now they are not eligible for the youth teams. Isn’t it sensible to give any of them a callup atleast against malta or north macedonia rather than calling up players with no gametime? Also Gordon is performing way better than rashford.

        Don’t think there’ll be a penalty shoot out. And he isn’t better at penalties than Kane so no reason to include him.

      There’s a theory Southgate wants to win EURO 2024 and then quit on a high so isn’t doing any groundwork for beyond that.

      But even if that was true, there are some older selections in the squad who aren’t better than the younger players coming through in the here and now.

    Seeing as we’ve already qualified I think this would’ve been a good time to call up Ezri Konsa.

    Who knows what the injury situation could be by next summer and it’d be a benefit to have a bit of experience, even if it’s just training with the squad.
