Eze in the 33-man training camp squad...

At last no Henderson.

 

Quite a few of the old guard gone, hopefully he will play to our attacking strengths. Hope Eze makes final cut...

 

Pretty decent squad, not sure about Maguire & Dunk though

 

Must admit I’ve never heard of Ezri Konsa.

 

Is Luke Shaw really the only English left back of even vague quality?

 

Despite a lot of silly comments, I don't think there was ever much chance that Henderson would be included.

 

Yes.
Problem is he's not fit.

 

I think we'll see one of Tripper or Gomez start at LB.

 

Why wasn't Mitchell in the squad ? He's had a very good season for Palace and is naturally a left back ! There may be 4 Palace players in the squad, but this one was a glaring admission from Southgate in my book

 

Neither of whom are left footed ! Trippier has done it before but hates playing there, and isn't half as effective as at right back. Gomez wasn't great covering Arnold's Injury at right back, he was downright awful when played at left back and would be destroyed there at International level. His best position is still at centre half

 

There's only so many uncapped players to risk at one time imo.
Shaw is so far and away our best left back (annoyingly, as there's so many right backs), that I think he should be given every chance to get fit in time.

 

I've never heard of at least 50% of these players!

 

Which are your 7 players to leave out of this 33? Anyone?

 

Ben White should be in there but I think the England assistant coach upset him.

 

Palace and Eze have been superb at the back end of this season. Barring injury, he should definitely make the final cut

 

**** him.

 

I'd have Eze ahead of Jones, Wharton and Gallagher.

 

Definitely, Eze is the player who can produce something out of nothing. He'd be in his element amongst such attacking talent...

 

The 7 I would drop are Trafford, Dunk, Wharton (future player), Jones, Quansah, Watkins and Maguire/Gomez
