Shocking really:
Shaw - Injured
Baines - Injury troubles
Gomez - Getting found out/not as good.
Gibbs - 2nd choice for Arsenal, surely you want someone who is playing?
Cresswell - Decent tbf, but unfancied by Roy
Surely Galloway, as centre back cover too, is not that much of a long shot?
I like Galloway and am normally a big backer of our players for England. I think it's ridiculous how overlooked Barkley, Jagielka and Stones have been.
However one does have to acknowledge that England are very well covered at left back currently. In honesty Galloway (and especially Gomez) should be nowhere near the squad yet.
Baines will be back fit. You then have lads like Cresswell, Bertrand and Rose who are all playing for decent premier league teams week in week out who have been solid over a period of years. Throw in Gibbs who has often started for Arsenal at left back and you realise how well covered we are. All of these players are of similar ability to "The next Cafu" Clyne.
We are very well covered at Left back, unfortunately across the other positions of the back four that's not the case.
