Ah 4 to go then...

Trafford won’t make it. Probably Tony too.

 

[Tom Hark Preston Park]

Seeing reports in the last hour that Maguire is now a major doubt. Didn’t realize he hasn’t played since April.

Good ol' Slabhead

You think? Seems to me like he'll get in over Watkins.

He arguably should in terms of being a better fit as a Kane replacement, however Watkins played most (all?) of the Bosnia game and we know Kane is starting tomorrow night, so doesn't really leave Toney much of a chance does it?

Southgate mentioned that it’s more important for Harry Kane to get minutes than Tony, read into that what you will.

Also, his form dropped later in the season.

All the pundits since Tuesday night calling for Dunk to be left out and phone in callers even saying he's not good enough to wear the shirt!

A lot seems to be based on the Belgium (and Roma) games, a tough week for Dunk who was no doubt tired from a demanding schedule.

Overall for England;

USA years ago - fine. Clean sheet.
-
Australia - Man of the Match. Excellent, very calm and composed, looked far better than Maguire who came on and caused havoc in his own defence.
Scotland - Again, very good. 2nd in player ratings behind Bellingham.
-
Brazil - Disappointing to concede following the header but it wasn't like he put someone through on goal. Which Maguire did. Played OK otherwise.
Belgium - Admittedly a poor night - really struggles in one-on-ones v Lukaku/Mitrovic types.

We should take all 3

Gives us the option to go 2 uptop/Kane to drop

[Farehamseagull]

He must be in surely?!

Can’t believe he’s left Grealish out?! Mistake for me.

 

[Ali_rrr]

Looks like Dunk will go. It's a goalkeeper and a striker being dropped I'd say.

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Maguire and Grealish out are big calls for Southgate. You'd imagine that means Eze, Bowen, Gordon and Palmer are therefore in.

 

[holybanjo]

Bowen

Hmm...

 

[holybanjo]

a striker

Ivan Toney?

 

[Wozza]

 

[Bakero]

How many Brighton players are at the tournament?

Dunk, Gross, Undav, Verbruggen, Moder, Gilmour. Have I forgotten anyone?

 

[WhingForPresident]

England losing at home to f***ing Iceland. Bit of a wake up call maybe?

 

[dazzer6666]

LOL

 

[WhingForPresident]

If Dunk had done what Stones did for the goal, he'd be getting f***ing crucified.
