Happy with 5 Spurs lads in the team. Was hoping to see some new faces like Wan-Bissaka, Ward-Prowse, Coady and Madison. Gareth went of course with the safe and obvious choices in Dier, Hendo and fucking Delph. Geeeeez
I also think there's a case to be made for keeping players in the U21s until they're too old. Give them the experience of being a leading member of the team and playing tournament football. Make exceptions in cases where a young player is so good they're clearly first eleven material for England (Dele), but in general don't promote them too early.Social media is pretty pissed off that Wan-Bissaka didn't get in over Trippier but tbh Squad Harmony seems at an all time high atm within the england squad and you don't get that by chopping and changing so aggressively, we've already included Rice this time round.
Also judging by the 30 fullbacks we've brought this time round we are going to be going for 3-5-2 and Wan Bissaka is still a very defensive fullback so not sure he'd necessarily suit the back 3 just yet. Hoping Trent and Chillwell get the opportunity to play wing backs.
Dier had one game since December and already in the squad. He and Kane should’ve been rested imo.
Great. So our players who are only just back from injury, get to risk their fitness playing shit games for a shit team in a shit competition.
International football needs to be put out of its misery.

I support all the Spurs players on international duty.Can someone please explain to me what we as a club get out of international football? Other than tired and injured players that is. Maybe it's me but even during the world cup I struggle to give a shit. I just don't get how a Spurs fan can support any other team.

Southgate goes on about players being burnt out but then selects players just back from injury. They don't really care.
I'm not sure that's true, especially of Southgate who has tried to rest players in the past and who has been the most accommodating England manger for years. He usually calls players up but will often only play them in one out of two games. And Dier missed the last couple of games with tonsillitis so it's just match fitness that's an issue with him now.
5 from spursTrent Alexander-Arnold has pulled out of the squad.
How many players from the Top-6 are left?
