Southgate clearly isn’t a fan.

A player who’ll be looking forward to a change in manager.

Got told he wasn’t making the squad. Leaks it to the press. Removes England from his social bio’s.

He's got a massive ego, he needs to eb the main man wherever he is - and he's not close to being good enough to be that when you have Jude, Saka, Foden in the squad!

Not a particularly smart move if we end up winning this tournament and Southgate stays on for the next world cup.....

Remember when he was giving it billy big balls about how expensive his trainers were and being all "do you know who I am?" Think he ended up in court. What a lovely fella

None of those names are a surprise.

Maddison not good enough when compared to other options.

Jones and Qunasah just their fir experience.

I was surprised by that, I thought he played with confidence when he came on Monday, however at one point he could have put Grealish through but decided against it, either he didn't see it or didn't want to aid a rival's chances of making the squad. As he's been dropped perhaps Southgate also thought the latter.

He is behind Bellingham, Foden and Palmer in his best position so maybe with his ego he wouldn't be a good backup player.

Good player but ego is bigger than his talent imo.

Nothing wrong in believing in yourself but also know where you are in the pecking order.

Trafford will be cut too, then I reckon as Shaw looks to be making it, you keep just 1 of Branthwaite, Dunk or Gomez.
Then either Wharton will be cut or another attacking player - Toney/Grealish/Eze/Bowen/Gordon

Right call. He's well down the pecking order when you consider the quality of those he's up against - Bellingham, Foden, Grealish, Palmer, Saka. There's the 'big 5' right there, before you even consider Eze into the conversation who is a better bench option than Maddison IMO. TAA with his versatility too. Maddison seems like an absolute whopper as well.

Would think Bowen, Jones, Quansah, Trafford will all drop out too. Still leaves a couple more doesn't it?

As others have said, he's a decent player but he's well down the pecking order for those forward positions.

Hasn't had the greatest season either, let's be honest. Started well but got injured. Certainly isnt one of Southgates favourites but probably the right call.

Assume he'll keep Gomez for versatility, although if Maguire is still doubtful Dunk would also have a chance as the 'less-cultured' CB option.

Wharton would be the Theo Walcott WC2006 type pick you assume, but he's unlikely to play a minute. Can't see Toney making it. Off form completely.

Watkins, Kane and players like Bowen can play the main striker role if needed too.

I hope he goes with Eze over Grealish too. Much more impact from the bench.

I think he can take Grealish & Eze. Grealish has the big game and tournament experience and Eze is a bit of a wildcard off the bench if we need to inject a bit of something different.

33 down to 26 via Trafford, Maddison, Jones, Quansah, Bowen and then 2 from Branthwaite, Dunk, Gomez, Wharton IMO.

Maddison has never been quite good enough for England, too hit and miss,

He also seems to be a tricky customer at times.

He can, the 1 issue I have with the attacking options is it's rumoured Foden will start off the left, then you have 3 more left wingers in the squad - Gordon, Eze and Grealish, on the right Saka will start, I guess with Palmer first choice backup, then Bowen.

So although I don't think Bowen is international class he may make the cut as there are less players on his side

We’ll miss him coming on as an 89th minute sub against Slovenia.

Can’t believe he’s been denied this opportunity.

That's a fair point but in the event both Saka & Palmer were off it then Foden presumably would move over to the right anyway. I think Eze can play on either side too. We would be left with:

Left: Foden, Grealish, Gordon, Eze
Right: Saka, Palmer, Foden, potentially Eze

Bellingham in the middle, #10 behind Kane. We also have the option to play Foden in there or Palmer.

Spoilt for attacking quality really. Issue I have is under Southgate we're too conservative. We're not blessed with the best options defensively but don't seem to play to our offensive strengths enough. We need more McKenna at PR ball.

Bowen shouldn't be there for me. Saka, Palmer and Foden can all play where he plays and we'll have Kane and Watkins, maybe Toney as well for the 9.

Don't really know how Bowen even made the preliminary squad.
