Callum Wilson isnt England quality, and doesnt fit system. Ivan Toney should have gone.
This media can easily mislead you
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.
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.
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.
Maguire , dier and coady over tomori 😂😂🤣🤣
Surely England will not reach the last 16…
James Maddison was even a must for you to pick, you don't have excuse
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
there go england world thanks to the defense
He says form is important and picks Kalvin Phillips and Harry Maguire discarding Ivan Toney and Fikayo Tomori… Hypocrite!
Southgate speaks about form , why did he leave Tomori who plays week in week out for AC Milian but yet picked Harry?

Losing to France in the QF.
"For me, Maguire is a must-start. A very valuable player"
Joint statement from the other teams' managers in England's group.
Maguire chasing his World Cup important game own goal.
3rd place in group stages
How this man still is England coach ??
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? 🤦♂️
Tomori Out…. Slabhead Will get tear Apart by Class Defender's… 😔
Makes you wonder if maguire’s got some comprising videos on wokegate!
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.
Respect to Southgate. A successful England Team manager since the late Sir Bobby Robson
I just can’t with this man, what form is Maggie and Phillips in?
Calum Wilson is better than Harry Kane
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
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!!!
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
It should have been Toney and tomori why rashford and Maguire 😭
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
Southgate ishiri uyu …muka pfura round of 16 call me
Once a defender always a defender, negative boring football will never win a thing with him in charge.
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.
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.
Why maguire? Ask him the obvious question
Henderson, Maguire, sterling, stones, grealish and kane should've been left out.
Tomori, tardovisky, toney, ward prowse, Watkins included
No minutes in the World Cup i can bet😢
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
