[Football] Luke Shaw - England call up

[GOM]

Manchester United defender Luke Shaw has been included in Gareth Southgate's 23-man England squad for September's fixtures against Spain and Switzerland.

No wonder after his performance against us !

 

[Sheebo]

He does still look a big lad if I’m being critical of a pro athlete. But has started the season well.

If he is the best left back in the country we are in a bad state.

Most surprised you were not consulted BG! Left back is your specialist subject after all! (Or were you?)

Actually think he`s getting a bit of unfair criticism, was one of their best players against Leicester and us.
Decent going forward too.

I agree with you. Got very little help against us, looked decent against Spurs as well.

Apropos of nothing, my young son yesterday challenged Akinator to guess Luke Shaw, which it did (of course). I have no idea why he did this.

 

[SAC]

Young did well in Russia but will be 35 by the Euros. Other than Luke Shaw, who else is in contention for the left back place?

Nobody said he was

By his inclusion Southgate is inferring that he is . I would go with Bertrand or Rose as the best English ones.

How? He’s obviously not the only left back called up to the squad. Also if you’d bothered with the most minute amount of research, you’d have found that Danny Rose has in fact been selected as well, along with Fabian Delph (and Joe Gomez can play left back too).

 

[BensGrandad]

Where is Ryan Bertrand possibly the best left back in England at the moment but not in the squad. Gomez is primarily a CB or RB not left back and I am sure that we have all learnt our lessons of playing a person out of position like that.

He’s not implying he’s the best, he’s suggesting he’s in the top 3 or 4 in that position hence his inclusion. Ah [MENTION=26980]The Tactician[/MENTION] beat me to it.

What bamboozles me is how Lallana seems to continually get picked

"Well". What's he done?

 

[Sheebo]

Ive been impressed with him in the 2 games I’ve seen of theirs on tv and the one I’ve seen live tbh.

 

[The Lemming Stomper]

Aaron Cresswell better than all of them (imo)

 

[Lurchy]

Ryan Sessegnon will surely be called up within the next months.

Find the inclusion of Adam Lallana and Danny Welback far more puzzling then Shaw being called up.

Southgate's also said today that he might soon have to turn his attention to the Championship for players as the pool of English players is so small. When was the last time he came and watched us play? Dunk and Stephen's are on a par with some of the players called up today. Solly too if he keeps his recent form up.

Solly’s form?
