    He hasn’t had the best of seasons, but there aren’t many nations on the planet who wouldn’t include Grealish in a 26 man squad. 
    But if you take him you have to drop one from Bowen, Gordon, Foden, Eze, Saka or Palmer. He's been worse than all of them this season

    A real shame for Pope who, if fit, would surely have made the squad ahead of Henderson.

    Ironically feels as though Southgate has gone for form with a good few of his picks, rather than his mates, which he is long accused of

    But Eze plays for Palace. Easy decision really.

    I’d have him in the squad over Gordon and Bowen .

    I know what you mean, but I think Grealish as a sub can maybe change a game more than Bowen, for example.

    FWIW (Sod all) I'd have taken Grealish and Branthwaite, and dropped Bowen and one of Toney or Watkins.

    Gordon could change a game with pace v tired defences.  Less sure someone like Bowen would.

    We've got some of the best attacking players in world football, but that defence scares the shit out of me!!

    Especially if Shaw isn't fit.

    Have to hope there's time in the group to get people in a bit of form!

    Southgate has selected a very good squad with a lot of exciting newcomers as well as long established players .. I expect us to do well in the tournament

    Do find it interesting he's gone from being defender heavy to the opposite, hopefully translates to attacking football.

    Am pleased about Gallagher as I think he has come on leaps and bounds. Also for Ese as he plays with such ease and enjoys the game.

    A brave call. The first game we fail to break down a stubborn defence, there'll be the "Grealish would have made an impact" comments in the media

    The thing with the strikers is you have to take 3 of them, because if Kane gets injured then suddenly Watkins is starting and Toney might then be needed as a sub.

    But in reality it's highly likely one of them won't play a single minute.

    Interesting that in some areas Southgate has gone for players in form and then he's picked Dunk over Branthwaite.

    Also i get there aren't many options but Ramsdale is probably lucky to get in, he's played only 3 times for Arsenal since December and they lost 2 of them.

    Notice that Wales just drew 0-0 with Gibraltar in a friendly.

    Great preparation for their summer!!

    I know they haven't all had great seasons. but there's some very talented players who haven't made the cut. Even in defence. It's not so long ago we were naming squads where some of the players were pretty much just making up the numbers.

    I do wonder if he's also taken Toney with half an eye on penalty takers.

    Obviously a terrible result but i can't imagine their players are exactly highly motivated. Probably just want to fuck off on holiday.

    Nah, he’s got money on number of bookings

    I did see Charlie Savage had his Wales debut, will be aiming for more caps than his Dad.

    Yeaaa... but can guarantee that the home nations would be laughing and pointing fingers if we got a result like that

    Only fair to return the favour ;)

    Jason Koumas’ son Lewis made his debut as well
