    Seeing as we’ve already qualified I think this would’ve been a good time to call up Ezri Konsa.

    Who knows what the injury situation could be by next summer and it’d be a benefit to have a bit of experience, even if it’s just training with the squad.

    Doubt he’ll play a weakened side for these with wanting to finish in the top seeds for pot 1 of the Euro 24 draw.

    Can’t imagine being English and seeing Henderson as a legit regular call up. I know we called up Krychowiak from the same shithole, but we have 3 straight thinking midfielders at best. Having England’s talent pool and going for the captain of Al Ettifaq is just pathetic.

    There’s zero incentive to get in form for Southgate world. I’m starting to think he doesn’t even watch games.

    Wonder if we’ll get another pre-match interview with Henderson about how he’s actually the greatest guy ever, you just don’t understand him.

      Grealish has been injured for most of the season- And even then, since returning, he’s been one of our best players.

      Apart from JWP, there aren’t really many other options. In my opinion, Gallagher isn’t up to it either.

      In reality, in the Euros we will play with Rice, Bellingham and one other so won’t be too bad.

        Gallagher has absolutely been good enough this season imo. Chelsea has been in abit of a state but every time I’ve seen him he hasn’t been the problem.

        I think Jones could do a bit of a Hendo role - seems more solid defensively and is pretty press resistant

      Pleased for Johnstone but lack of Pope is baffling when Ramsdale isn’t playing regularly.

          Throw Maguire into the mix too when there’s probably other defenders playing regularly/better than him. Nice to see Tomori in the squad after people saying he wasn’t getting picked because he wasn’t playing in the Prem. Not sure if Henderson still being picked has anything to do with it.

        Southgate, for better or worse, has never picked players on how frequently they are playing

    Feel like Southgate keeps including Henderson just to spite everyone who talks shit about him and says we need a new manager, because he’s definitely not doing it for footballing reasons.
