Yeah I was going on the idea that he would be fit... Can't be taking him if he's not, but if he's even 75% he needs to go as we don't have any options there other than Trippier out of position.

Stones will probably get injured at some point as well given his history. Wonder if he might regret not going for the Pickford-Tarkowski-Branthwaite triangle.

Good name for a Quiz/Fantasy footy team that - The Pickford-Tarkowski-Branthwaite triangle.

So that's Maddison, Jones, Quansah, Maguire and Grealish. Two more to go with one probably being Trafford.

You'd imagine that's Branthwaite going to the Euros.

If no Maguire what's the CB pairing? And don't say Branthwaite and Stones because Jarrod ain't starting.

Stones & Dunk/Guehi/Branthwaite

Next couple of friendlies could determine it. Feels like Dunk is getting exposed every time he plays.

It's Jarrad by all accounts, and Trafford.

If true he's a complete prick. No left side

Poor from Southgate that.

That defence isn’t winning a tournament unfortunately.

Stones genuinely is the only better CB than Branthwaite there. Guehi (who admittedly had a great season the season before last), Konsa, Dunk and Gomez going to an international tournament ahead of him is wild.

Fair play to him.

Grealish has got to be carrying a knock to be left out, surely?

Defence is a joke.

Happy for the Palace lads to be kept in.

Grim! Feels like he needs to switch to a back 3 because there's no pairing there that's acceptable going in to a tournament.

Is Maguire injured?
