I think you may have missed the point of my post.
England squad announcement
- Thread starter robfosters
- Start date
Trent isn't so bad, he was out for a while and it'll help his sharpness, but yes, Gomez could do with the extended rest.

Lewis Dunk ahead of Branthwaite is top lols, especially after Dunks last appearances for England.

I don't want any Liverpool players ever playing international football, under any circumstances. They only ever get injured. Doak's just pulled out of the Scotland squad with injury before the tournament has even started.
Soldato
4 Palace players going to the Euros
My word.
My word.

Exactly if he has been left out too then that is madness.
Everton had the 4th best defence in the league and he would be the perfect combo to go with Stones. Played 41 games in the season too. Also has the link up with T-Rex playing with him every week.
Mind just boggles if that is true.

Is Gealish not fully fit? He seems the strangest choice to leave out.
Tricky one. He's very similar to Foden and Eze, and Foden has been the best player in the league and Eze is much more impactful off the bench. It may well have come down to Bowen v Grealish, and Bowen is an proper winger, which we're short on. I'm ok with it as a shout.
Doak was injured anyway AFAIK as he hadn’t featured for even the U21’s AFAIK so it was no real surprise he was sent home by Scotland.
Horrible selfish attitude. Don’t give a crap about the players own dreams and ambitions, just as long as he’s fit for Liverpool.
I can kind of understand it with meaningless mid season games, but not major international tournaments
He had been injured but was back in full training and Steve Clarke confirmed he was due to play some part in Scotland's game on Monday but picked up another injury and withdrew.

Dunk over Braithwaite is a poor choice imo.
Just to be clear, this is 100% my view. I could not care less about International football anymore and if you give me the option of a Liverpool player being happy to have made the squad but being injured for a pre-season game for Liverpool or a player temporarily unhappy at missing out on the squad but being fit and available for Liverpool then there's no choice to be made.
Top level club football is the pinnacle now and it is in the eyes of most players too.
