  1. Southgate said he didn't pick Abraham because "Tammy has had a poor run of scoring form at the wrong time." Meanwhile Maguire has had a poor run of defending form at the wrong time… is in; or Phillips has had only 68 minutes on the pitch this season… is also in. That excuse is poor from Southgate, if that was true he should not have picked Maguire & Phillips. I guess at least he's loyal to his favorites.

  2. Gary is too nice
    He’s the kind that picks the gobby lick ass people
    I would rather pick King Charles to go play in defence than maguire. Joker.

  3. Ivan Toney has been so disrespected just because he doesn’t play for a big club but he’s quality. Better that Wilson and Abraham.

  4. We will not win anything with this woke muppet in charge. We’ve no world class centre backs . Shows how far we’ve come if we’re picking Callum Wilson

  5. Think Southgate will quit after England are out of World Cup. He's picked some wrong players and left out important players. Kalvin Phillips, Maguire, Walker? 🤦‍♂️

  6. He's had a poor run of scoring form….so what about the eternal epitome of shite scoring form Mr Sterling? I hope Southgate realises that Mcguire will most likely be the man that ends his reign as England manager.

  7. he kinda had to pick wilson because if he didnt the backlash he would face from the media would be crazy after he went to a newcastle game and he scored 2

  8. Uhmmm Maguire is way out of form since August, sent on holiday to Portugal by MUFC, essentially played a few sub mins, and a recent game, then put in a centre forward position by ten hag to gap fill…….so taken all that into account…Wokegate by example picked out of form Maguire based on previous England form preference viz old boys club regular, as opposed to current club form, played minutes and performance capability which in most people’s criteria = not in form, No played minutes therefore shouldn’t be picked. Moreover last England game against Germany Maguire caused the penalty against England and scoring of the second goal due to bad defending. And furthermore I couldn’t believe hearing peter schemichael last night on sky pundit speaking about Wokegate selection of Maguire, saying well we no he had issues, no game time, but being selected for England gives Maguire the opportunity to “get his form back” in the World Cup games…..WTF, peter you melt, the idea is international country players are selected on the current club ability and form, not using the World Cup as reserves games to get your form back….you dumb Dane!!!

  9. This guy clearly is biased towards english big clubs. I still remembered a time when he didnt want to give a chance to inform grealish at villa. Now with grealish at city, he automatically get picked even his form is not good

  10. Wilson over toney of Brentford callum Wilson brings more he scored six goals Ivan toney scored 12 goals plus he's a fantastic player at taking and scoring pens and would have been a better striking partner alongside kane

  11. The proof of the pudding is in the eating.
    Southgate just has to make sure those boys he chose will perform in the WC or else he will be in the pudding.

  12. He picked James Maddison for the same reason he picked Toney for the last two game, public pressure. However Maddison will play the same amount of time as Toney did.

  13. Duckers you tell us who's better in def midfield than kalvin if your such a top class manager, answer is we have no defensive midfield options but you'd know that if you knew anything at all mate
