I get what you mean about maguire and England but the euros was last year and since then he’s been a train wreck domestically and even for England in the friendlies (especially against Germany) there’s no reason he should go as a starter, maybe a back up at this point but tomori starts over maguire if anyone else was manager but Southgate’s too blinded by loyalty. Loyalty is a good thing until it goes too far to the point where it’s literally damaging the team😂😂

Gallagher is more of an attacking option, not necessarily a defensive one so instead of Maddison I would stick him there. RLC could be a shout instead of JWP just because under Tuchel he ended up playing CB for 1 game and RWB for a couple and under Potter, he would be carrying the RWB role even though he can play like a Phillips CM role almost for some games, so he is quite versatile. RLC has played in quite a few big games for Chelsea as well.

Gomez over Tomori is a joke. Tomori had 2 bad games against Chelsea. Gomez had only bad games and 1 good game against City. And remember at the World Cup you play against international players. Gomez was destroyed by the likes of Napoli who has players from different countries. Tomori is champion in Italy meanwhile. Also even if Philips comes back from the injury he has no right to play because he didn't play at all for City this season. He's played just a couple of minutes of official football in the last 5 months or so. Again weird to even consider him tbh. And a similar argument is valid for Maguire. He only played in a couple of disaster classes and then got injured. And he was in just as worse form at the end of last season. Nothing warrants his place at the moment.

From this squad, I think Foden/Grealish takes Maddisons spot and Wilson, Abraham or most likely Sancho take that attacker spot. Coady will probably miss out and be replaced by Maguire/Tomori as well.

Southgate could choose and submitted up to 55 players to FIFA by 19 October but didn’t tell the players or media who they were. I think Southgate needs to take players who can change games more. Personally based on past England squads don’t overload with too many defenders, who’ll end up just not playing and being back up a That is not going to get to the back end of the tournament. Otherwise as we have seen before end up in ET and penalties. We have 5 subs in Group stages and additional one in ET. Choosing players on form.
