Liar.
Complete contradiction when it comes to the defence.

Says more about his ability as a manager if he can't see Branthwaite's quality rather than anything else.

Dunk is shit. He's the Conor Coady pick for this tourny

And Quansah is shit. He wouldn't be anywhere near the squad if he played for the likes of Wolves or Bournemouth

More from Southgate on Jarrod Branthwaite who misses out on the final squad: "I think it's a bit early for Jarrod, he has had a fantastic season and it was good to get him involved and of course in an ideal world you would want a left footer but picking him ahead of the others, for him I don't think that would have been the right call at this stage.

Did he even get his name wrong


Had he actually said the Quensah fella is on stand by or just available for the Iceland game , it's laughable if he is

Too early for Branthwaite but not Wharton? Alright mate.

Ah well, not that bothered about England really and if they go out in flames early on because of Southgate picking the likes of Lewis Dunk then so be it. I look forward to his dismal return to club football afterwards.

On reflection

The worst defence we’ve taken to a tournament in over 30 years

We’ll need to outscore everyone we play, which goes completely against his safety first philosophy

Can win it with being rock solid, see Greece, Italy, can’t win it being porous as fuck

No chance we make the semi finals

So disappointing because our attack is incredible.

Sack him after the Euros and get a decent manager who can utilise the talent

I don't think Quansah is shit, but I do think Branthwaite is comfortably better. Gomez is a utility player who can play any of the back 4 positions, so I get the logic of that.

Guehi's been out for months since early February, and only just come back so I think that's a bad pick, and Dunk is a little past his best and Brighton have been conceding goals for fun this season.

Guessing this is pretty much the starting lineup for the Euros except for Pickford and Bellingham in for Ramsdale and Palmer
