Reacting To The OFFICIAL England EURO 2024 Squad!

i disagree with a couple selections but overall southgate did a really good job, he's finally picking based of form and not reputation

As a Liverpool fan I love Quansah so much, but I feel that he needs a few more years before he starts playing in proper international tournaments. But he is the future of the England backline.

As a Milan fan, I sort of understand why Tomori doesn't get the call but even at the friendlies ? Issue is that if he were in the premier league with his performances, he would be in the squad. The manager doesn't know other leagues exist. He even get a call when he was defender of the season 2 years ago...

With the 33 man squad and LB issues im surprised Tyrick Mitchell wasn't taken!

Kobbie Mainoo x Cole Palmer x Eze x Wharton x Quansah are TOP quality additions to the England National team 🔥

The fact that there is no Tyrick Mitchell with Englands LB problems is crazy to me

oliver glasner is brilliant he has created a supersquad

Thanks so much for the content Joe. It is greatly appreciated. Thanks for everything you do ❤

Trafford, Dunk, Quansah, Jones, Maddison, Grealish and Toney

The fact is, England have the highest scoring winger in premier league history if you exclude penalties, the second highest scorer for England of the players today, the highest assist provider, the player who almost single handedly dragged England to their first final in over half a century, the most reliable England player in high stake competition games, and so clearly most dangerous attacker in English football today not in the squad let alone the team. The idea any team can succeed to win a competition without a player that can deliver so much reliably to their game and be so influential to a teams success whether the rest of the team do not perform so well or not is called wishful thinking. We've seen Southgate take risks in finals and failed at every turn. He is unable to make constructive risks and is strongest when he uses common sense. Common sense would tell you Jude Belligham has excelled partnering Vinicias Junior at Real Madrid winning the Spanish League and in the final of the Champions League which should be amazing for England as England have a similar player to Vinicias Junior in the name of Raheem Sterling in the England team meaning they can understand each other very quickly and form an equally powerful partnership for the England attack. This is common sense. But what does he do? He takes Sterling out of the team depriving England of that obvious lethal attacking partnership. Common sense would tell you that with England getting to a final with Sterling as the driving force giving defenders nightmares on one wing and Saka still developing on the other, when Saka finally develops as he has today and so much better than that final and able to give defenders nightmares like Sterling, England with these two wingers would be giving defenders sleepless nights on both wings and be even more lethal than when getting to that final, so you play them both again now as a bigger threat than before. This again is common sense. But no, Southgate has decided to not play Sterling and play a lesser threat that has achieved nothing, but some good games for an average club for one season and has no experience of high stakes competition, or an alternative that has played for England, but achieved nothing special when playing for England and is not even the first choice for his club team. It's astonishing stuff. As for Palmer, a player that has scored an average number of goals in open play scoring 10 penalties he will not take for England to push up his stats, but more importantly failed to make the Man City team and was then sold, because although he was known by Man City to score goals is too much of a defensive liability to have in a team that wants to win things or be a top team, why in the world would a manager with any sense ignore these facts and like a novice want to consider putting him in his team just because pundits, commentators and the media choose to ignore the obvious facts and claim the manager who sold him has made a mistake despite the fact this manager is winning everything under the sun. Palmer does not understand defense, does not participate in defensive responsibilities, does not know how to balance defensive and offensive responsibilities and has no interest in understanding or participating in defensive responsibilities at a time in football when all 11 players have offensive responsibilities and all 11 players have defensive responsibilities and the team least efficient at utilising all 11 players for these offensive and defensive objectives loses. That is modern football and what is understood by all the top teams in league and international football as necessary to win competitions or leagues. But Southgate obviously thinks he is the exception and wishful thinking will get him over the line. Without Raheem Sterling in the team, I predict England will be knocked out of the competition in the Quarter finals at these Euros as we saw proved when Sterling did not play in the last World Cup, mark my words, so I won't even bother watching the games managed by stupidity that makes no sense forced on the manager by pressure from the media. Wishful thinking gets you nowhere. Peace and love

The linkup on the right side with Walker, Trent in the pivot and Saka on the wing was crazy in the friendlies last summer. Southgate digging his own grave if Gallagher or Mainoo starts in the pivot next to rice instead of Trent

All of those injuries at defense makes you change your prediction from a guaranteed final to like maybe a shocking quarters upset loss? I wish England the best of luck! Great video again, Joe

I'm not an England supporter, but as a Bayern fan I must say I am both surprised and impressed with how amazingly solid Eric Dier is, I was almost expecting him to be part of the England squad.

As a Liverpool fan I’d also take Wharton over Jones.

Choosing Toney (4 goals) over Solanke (19 goals) is typical Southgate

Was hoping you’d upload a reaction today, the defence is definitely looking a mishmash but my god that attack is frightening.

i enjoy watching your videos. you know what you are talking about. greetings from germany

I'm perfectly happy with this squad , and hope we all get behind Gareth, and whichever team gets picked.

@JoeThomlinson. Very well done 🤝 Best England squad review, Ive seen I view a LOT, too.

Nice to to see genuinely sensible takes on youtube based on actual evidence. Rather than clickbait bullshit, recycling the same old takes from football twitter
