Thanks so much for the content Joe. It is greatly appreciated. Thanks for everything you do ❤

All of those injuries at defense makes you change your prediction from a guaranteed final to like maybe a shocking quarters upset loss? I wish England the best of luck! Great video again, Joe

The fact is, England have the highest scoring winger in premier league history if you exclude penalties, the second highest scorer for England of the players today, the highest assist provider, the player who almost single handedly dragged England to their first final in over half a century, the most reliable England player in high stake competition games, and so clearly most dangerous attacker in English football today not in the squad let alone the team. The idea any team can succeed to win a competition without a player that can deliver so much reliably to their game and be so influential to a teams success whether the rest of the team do not perform so well or not is called wishful thinking. We've seen Southgate take risks in finals and failed at every turn. He is unable to make constructive risks and is strongest when he uses common sense. Common sense would tell you Jude Belligham has excelled partnering Vinicias Junior at Real Madrid winning the Spanish League and in the final of the Champions League which should be amazing for England as England have a similar player to Vinicias Junior in the name of Raheem Sterling in the England team meaning they can understand each other very quickly and form an equally powerful partnership for the England attack. This is common sense. But what does he do? He takes Sterling out of the team depriving England of that obvious lethal attacking partnership. Common sense would tell you that with England getting to a final with Sterling as the driving force giving defenders nightmares on one wing and Saka still developing on the other, when Saka finally develops as he has today and so much better than that final and able to give defenders nightmares like Sterling, England with these two wingers would be giving defenders sleepless nights on both wings and be even more lethal than when getting to that final, so you play them both again now as a bigger threat than before. This again is common sense. But no, Southgate has decided to not play Sterling and play a lesser threat that has achieved nothing, but some good games for an average club for one season and has no experience of high stakes competition, or an alternative that has played for England, but achieved nothing special when playing for England and is not even the first choice for his club team. It's astonishing stuff. As for Palmer, a player that has scored an average number of goals in open play scoring 10 penalties he will not take for England to push up his stats, but more importantly failed to make the Man City team and was then sold, because although he was known by Man City to score goals is too much of a defensive liability to have in a team that wants to win things or be a top team, why in the world would a manager with any sense ignore these facts and like a novice want to consider putting him in his team just because pundits, commentators and the media choose to ignore the obvious facts and claim the manager who sold him has made a mistake despite the fact this manager is winning everything under the sun. Palmer does not understand defense, does not participate in defensive responsibilities, does not know how to balance defensive and offensive responsibilities and has no interest in understanding or participating in defensive responsibilities at a time in football when all 11 players have offensive responsibilities and all 11 players have defensive responsibilities and the team least efficient at utilising all 11 players for these offensive and defensive objectives loses. That is modern football and what is understood by all the top teams in league and international football as necessary to win competitions or leagues. But Southgate obviously thinks he is the exception and wishful thinking will get him over the line. Without Raheem Sterling in the team, I predict England will be knocked out of the competition in the Quarter finals at these Euros as we saw proved when Sterling did not play in the last World Cup, mark my words, so I won't even bother watching the games managed by stupidity that makes no sense forced on the manager by pressure from the media. Wishful thinking gets you nowhere. Peace and love

I think I agree with most of your picks with a few exceptions; with such a notable injury list at the back, you can't afford to be short of defenders this tournament. We've got a solid upfront with much less injuries, so I would drop an extra forward to take an extra defender. Unfortunately that would be Jarrod Bowen. Fantastic season in a often lackluster West Ham team, when you've got talent such as Saka and Palmer on the right, and Kane and Watkins down the middle, there just isn't the need for him. I would then add Dier to the squad. An experienced player who's revived his career at Bayern; reignited his passion for the game, if he was to be at the Euros he'll work like an absolute dog for us.

To right back i love Trent but i understand that in most games Kyle Walker should play but what do you do with Trent then? I dont think Maguire is a great center back, Tomori should be there, but people in England always say Maguire has to play. But the biggest problem i think is knowing what to do in front. Rice and Bellingham have to play, but Rice is not really a 6 and Jude now has to play at 10. In the harder games who do you put at 6 or at 8 to balance it out Mainoo or Gallagher? Then you have Palmer, Foden and Jude that play their best at 10 but only one can play there. If Jude plays at 8 and Rice at 6 and Foden at 10 is it really balanced enough? If Jude is at 10 where do you put Foden and do you play Palmer? Foden on the left and Saka on the right is going to work?

I give southgate credit for this squad so far. My opinion has always been that; while chemistry and tactics are clearly important; international tournament squads primarily need to be chosen by form over all else. Doesn’t matter if you’re 17 or 37, if you’re in top form and you’re ready to win games, you’re in the squad. This is as close to that as gareth has been probably ever

Well Done Sir

It was never going to happen but I think Max Kilman as Wolves captain deserves a look in

Curtis Jones, if he hadn’t been injured the last couple of months then he’d definitely be going imo. Same could be said about Maddison’s end of season. Agree with other players potentially not going. Feel bad for Tomori and Solanke not making it into this 33 man squad

Tyrick Mitchell played 37 games for Palace, England don’t have a left back issue. If Guehi n Wharton could make it Ty should too for depth.

Butland should be going over either Trafford or Henderson. He has had a great season and would be an experienced safe pair of hands as a back up. Guehi, Shaw (likely wont be fit), Maddison, Toney, Trafford, Dunk will likely be cut. The final spot is difficult but I imagine it will be a toss up between Jones and Wharton. Bowen has had a great season and can play a few roles and Grealish is great at winning free kicks. I would actually take Quansah as I think he will be the next player to play alongside Stones and could play in a game or two in the group stages.

Whether either would get picked in the 26 or not, Toney over Solanke is insane

Few points. Firstly commendable for your positive comments about pool players. Many fans can be biased even for internationals.

How Maguire still gets picked, is mind blowing 🤯

From this list the 7 I’m not taking are Trafford, Dunk, Guehi, Shaw, Grealish, Maddison & Toney. Not buying the whole one tournament too early thing for Quansah, why’s it too early for him but not Mainoo, Wharton, Branthwaite? They’re all in form & injury free, the same can not be said for the players I’d cut out.

You need Chilwell as a left back

A good initial squad with the youngsters that deserve to get a call up! although would have been good to see Harvey Elliott! the players i wouldn't be taking to for the 26 man squad: James Trafford Jarrel Quansah Lewis Dunk Luke Shaw Curtis Jones Ivan Toney Jack Grealish This is based on youth, playing time and injuries!

Wow... I'm so worried that Maguire won't make it 🤣

Jordan Pickford has not been better for England than Everton. How many times do Everton fans have to say that.

Trafford, Quansah, Jones, Bowen, Maddison, Watkins, Dunk. I don't think Grealish should be going but he will

How Morgan Gibbs white doesn’t get a call up is beyond me, second most assists in the league and most chances created🤷🏻‍♂️

As a 10 who is he ahead of: Palmer Foden or Bellingham? I do think he probably should be ahead of Maddison though.

What do you think about poch leaving Chelsea (as a Chelsea fan i am strongly against it)

Agree with every shout apart from Toney. His penalty taking is going to be the reason he makes it, even if he just comes on for a penalty in the later stages as that could be the difference. An extra midfielder will get dropped 💯 Quansah and Brainthwaite are englands future centre back pairing

Not surprised they’ve missed out but Lewis hall or livramento would’ve been good full back depth

Which 7 names would you cut from the squad?

I would cut more than 7 names and bring on two names which deserved to nominated. Cut: Trafford, Dunk, Quansah, Guehi, Branthwaite, Shaw (injured), Jones, Eze, Toney, Bring on: Dier and Tomori (I also would bring on Ben White insteed of Konsa but White wont play for England) Than i think Konsa is the best Option as a back up for Walker. Sorry for Branthwaite and Guehi, they deserved that, but Tomori and Dier deserved a nominie in every single wolrd. (Sorry for my english)

I know Toney hasn't really been up to it but i don't think he's one to drop I just find him more Kane(esq). He gives off Rashford vibes in that he hasn't been good but when he's fire he is fire. (Also has the best penalty conversation rate in the squad) If im resting Kane I'd rather have Toney than Watkins lead the line

quansah over tomori seems like a personal attack lol

I think Trafford, Dunk, Quansah, Wharton, Maddison, Bowen (very harsh ik) and Toney miss out

Not their official squad for euros it's a 33 man training squad, that will get narrowed down to the euros squad of 26.

Gk - pickford rb - walker cb - stones cb - guehi lb - gomez cm - trent cm - rice cm - bellingham lw - foden st - watkins or kane rw - saka this is the team that would win the euros

Can't see any point in taking Shaw. He'll likely miss the cut which leaves us with no designated left back. We need to ditch fullbacks and go for a 3-2-4-1 system utilising our strengths, which are in attack. Here's my team in that formation: Pickford, Stones, Maguire, Branthwaite, Rice, Mainoo, Saka, Bellingham, Foden, Palmer, Kane. I picked Maguire because Southgate tends to never leave him out. I'd have preferred Ben White in there but that's not happening.

Eze really deserves to go over Maddison for sure. I agree with the 7 picked here

Our 26 are exactly the same

Eze, Palmer, Watkins & Solanke have to be a shoe in.
