Southgate has to make good on his statement that he wished he could pick 6 right backs, he better call another one up or some might think it was all total bollocks because ehe couldn’t drop the scouser.

Mings shouldn't be in this squad IMO - he's purely there due to being left-footed.

You're crazy. Mings was easily our best defender this season despite how great Targett has been.

Of the CBs that are currently in the squad, he's the second best behind Maguire. Why wouldn't he be in the squad?

I've no idea.  Should have got at lest 3 or 4 (though @KAZZAM seems to disagree).

I would love to say we could have scored a few more as well but unfortunately we offered very little. 

I looked at our squad earlier and thought we had a real good chance of winning the Euros but today has brought be back down to earth. With Southgate it will be the usual scrape through against the poor teams and get beat by the first proper team we play. 

Of course we won't win. We will look solid, beat the teams we are supposed to, and lose to a better team like we always do. Probably quarter finals. On penalties.

In the entire 61 years of this competition England best record is a Semi Final when we hosted it. If we get past the group stage that is historically a good tournament.

Portugal, Czech Republic, and the Netherlands to name just a few have a far, far, far better record than us.

All of Konsa, Targett and Cash were better than him IMO - but this isn't to say that Mings isn't a decent centre back, he's just not International-level (or shouldn't be).

Plus he does **** stupid things like whatever that block was tonight.

That would mean we'll have beaten one of (probably) France, Germany or Portugal in the second round and it would probably still be in our top five tournament performances of the last 50 years.

I wonder if you were to put together a back 4 of the least goals conceded this season, you'd likely end up with the Villa back 4.

Only if you drop Heaton behind them. Pickford’s like the fat guy at the start of a zombie flick, you know he’s not surviving till the end.

I don't think he watches the games to be honest, probably overheard the others praising Jack while he was smashing back the Jamesons. 

He did coach him at Villa tbf

Roy Keane loves Grealish 

That bird thinks Foden should start ahead of him though. Is she the one who has just left our women's team?

Never liked that Aluko, come from Villa and as good as saying need Foden in ahead of Grealish!!!!

The fact she thinks they are identical players shows she doesn’t watch a lot of football

Jack easily best player on the pitch. Which means against Croatia that Southgate starts Rashford and Sterling. His dull boring predictability makes him such an easy manager to work out.

Foden has had a smashing end to the season while Jack's been injured. She didn't say he should be ahead of him, just that they're too similar.

The only one who said Jack shouldn't be in there was Wrighty.
