According to the BBC he’s in! Excellent for us but how much do we get if he starts? ( which surely will happen in a pre tournament game) |  | | |  |

Presumably it’s Stones and Guehi at CB, so it’ll be TAA and Rice infront, Bellingham behind Kane and then 2 from Saka/Foden/Gordon - wouldn’t be surprised if he goes Gordon left and Foden right. | | | |

Hard to leave Palmer out.
It’s horses for courses though….could play Saka and Foden wide with Palmer behind Kane and Bellingham/Rice in the midfield. Or push Bellingham up and play Mainoo or Gallagher next to Rice to give a bit more steel.
Lots of good headaches for Southgate. The defence is far better than it’s given credit for too. It’s not Rio, Sol, Cole and Neville, but it’s pretty strong as a 4 or a 3 with Stones, Walker, Shaw and Trippier. The back ups other than Dunk are good improving players too.
Lots to be excited about | | | |

Really happy that he's confirmed to go, lets hope he gets some minutes now. | | | |

I'd have taken Branthwaite. Excellent passer, had a fantastic season, miles better than Dunk who I hope is just going as he's a nice lad and a good leader in the dressing room.
Congrats to Ebs and huge congrats to Wharton. What a story.
I guess people will stay Southgate is a company man who never makes bold decisions though, despite all evidence to the contrary. | |

For once, I think he has been bold. Leaving Grealish and Maguire out is quite ballsy for him. I think he's done a good job here, albeit he should have had the on-form Solanke rather than out-of-form Toney as the Kane backup. | | | |

Yeah I agree, Branthwaite is way better. Looks like the replacement for Stones long term. |  |

Ex Palarse player.... blah blah blah!!!
Looks a proper ropey squad at the back to me but always would've been.
That choice of midfielders also pretty shite.
Rice is stand out and Kobe I rate however lacks stamina at the moment.
Wharton is mental -- I never rated him in the Championship but he looks really good at a higher level.
Good luck Ingerlund but i think we'll be home early.
Main thing for me is Eze gets minutes, scores and becomes a player in the £80mill bracket |  |

Eze. That is just so massive for him. From a completely selfish QPR point of view, that’s added an extra inch on Euro - wise. Get in there, my son. |  |

Maguire is injured so we'll never know if he would have been pro-actively left out or not.
I'd have taken Grealish and left out Toney. Apart from a few goals when he came back from suspension his form has dried up. Grealish may not score goals but he's not a goal scorer (a few would be nice mind). He pulls players away, he gets fouled and gives us free-kicks in dangerous places, he frightens the life out of defenders. Attack is the best form of defence, and all that.
Well done Eze though, well deserved and a real opportunity to hopefully do well if called upon. |  | | |

Strange why he played Dunk in the last game - unless he wanted one last look to make up his mind.
What was there to make up?? |
They had suggested he was injured, hence not going but not the case it appears |  | | |

Ebs has scored against Spurs, Liverpool and Villa - who finished in the top five. In total he scored 11 goals and four assists in the equivalent of 22 full matches. Grealish has scored in total against Spurs, Luton and Palace and scored three goals and one assist in the equivalent of 11 full matches. Grealish is in a team where you'd expect them to make far more chances.
I think Eze provides something different more than Grealish in 2024.
Maddison has also only scored four goals against Bournemouth, Burnley, Fulham and Villa. He's had more assists - nine - but mostly against bottom half sides and only one goal against a top half side since his injury. |  | | |

One thing Dunk has got similar to Maguire is real bravery on the ball and can start attacks off, also a threat from set pieces.
I agree with you on Branthwaite but can see why Dunk has got in this time. |  | | |

Totally agree LBlock
That defence is one of the worst I’ve seen since the days of Matthew upson starting
How Dunk gets in that squad is a mystery, if anything happens to Stones then we will be lucky to get out of the group |  |
| And Bowles is onside, Swinburne has come rushing out of his goal , what can Bowles do here , onto the left foot no, on to the right foot
That’s there that’s two, and that’s Bowles

Absolutely delighted for Eze, good things do come to good people!
Likewise Wharton, what a meteoric last few months that lad has had, indirectly sorted him out tickets for the Blackburn 0-4 home game at ours, if I'd known then I'd have negotiated a return favour!
Good to see Southgate being so bold too. | | | |

Great to see Eze in the 26. Hope he really shines. |  |

I like the selection and bravery - especially in midfield, we are only a few years from Henderson and Phillips, so to go full out with youth and ball players is admirable. If I'm nitpicking I'd have also taken Grealish, probably over Toney or Bowen, and Dunk wouldn't have made my 33 let alone the 26, but lots to be positive about.
The youth of that team is really really exciting - most of them could still be eligible for the U21s. Foden just turned 24, Bellingham just 20, Wharton 20, Mainoo 19, Palmer 22, Guehi 23, Saka 22... Southgate might have stuck with some of his favourites for a bit too long, and I'm not sure why he doesn't seem to rate anyone playing in Italy, but he's promoted a lot of youth and made some ballsy decisions here - let's hope that carries into the actual games |  |

Quite bold decisions by Southgate and a lot of the reasons many have against him, they don't stand in relation to the squad he has picked.
Massive surprise to not see Grealish picked. I thought his cameo sub appearance gave him all the reasons why Grealish can be effective and almost, I felt, played himself into the managers mind as one of the first off the bench when you need a game changer
Although love Eze, he has not shown that as yet in his very limited international time so far.
I thought Gordon or perhaps Wharton might not make it but both have and Eze and Bowen and Palmer too, as well as Mainoo.
I hope Eze gets game time and would love it if he could be influential but for some reason, I doubt he will get on the pitch much and also for some weird reason, I am doubting he will change things. Not reasoned opinion just a daft instinct.
But yes obviously pleased he is in. Hope he gets a reasonable period of time and can show what he can do. |  |

Grealish dropped.Good enough for Guardiola but not for Southgit.
The sooner we get a new manager in the better. |  |

We do know. If fit there is not a chance in hell maguire would’ve missed out.
I don’t think Grealish has done enough and, personally, I’ve always thought Eze the better player. | |

Thrilled for Eze, but feel Southgate has missed some golden opportunities in his selections. |  | | |
