Ross Barkley and England

[bullensboy]

Ross has never been an England regular.
With out Looking at the exact stats
Of the top of my head. He has about 22 caps. Probably about 6 or 7 starts. Most of them in friendlies.

One of his competitive starts was against Costa Rica. Which was basically a dead rubber as England were already out.

Shocking them stats in 3 an half years

I think you need to check the stats then

I dont blame Ross being cheesed off with these 'unused sub' call ups. Ok...they won today. But I cant help thinking Southgate is blinkered not giving Ross at least half an hour today when there was noone in his spot doing anything special on the pitch and superior to him. Hes playing very well for us and I hope these very public snubs dont cause his head to drop like it did after the similar scenario at the World Cup .

Ox in the middle really wasn't the best of calls. The one thing I will say about Barkley is that he demands the ball a lot. Maybe Southgate wanted a player that can play more in the periphery, but I honestly can't buy that without spitting my coffee out all over the desk.

I don't think I will be that far away

I mean, Defoe, Keane and Bertrand started.

Dare I say it, it was only because the likes of rose, Cahill, Jones and Kane weren't fit they got selected. Southgate saw Ross against west brom, when Koeman called his display outstanding (which it was). To see the ox selected ahead of him must have been gutting for the lad, let's hope he takes out his 'frustration' on the RS.

There is actually no point, Southgate doesn't have any intention of playing him so why he's called up in the first place is a mystery. It's almost as if they're set out to make an example of him for some reason.

don't be daft mate, once Lallana, Alli, Chamberlain, Sterling, Vardy, Lingaard, Rashford, Defoe, Livermore, Dier, Henderson, Redmond, Walcott, all declare themselves unfit I'm sure he'll get some minutes.........unless he selects Drinkwater oh and let's not forget Kane will be back plus Sturridge and he might want to bring Crouch back into the fold and of course then it will be time for Wiltshire to come back into the fold and let's not forget Rooney as well.

I think I've covered all 73 players who Southgate has ahead of him.

I felt that Gareth was almost afraid to take ali off. He really offered nothing in the second half.

Sorry....I meant the Euros

So now this is appearing in all the papers he's either

1. Shot himself in the foot and made his England chances even worse
2. Highlighted to Southgate how pathetic it is for england managers to keep calling him up and then never playing him.

I think we all know its going to be 1

Hopefully it's 3. - Go and absolutely smash it in the Derby and against the Mancs and ram just how idiotic not playing him was

I'm just shocked they haven't thrown in a sentence or two about selling him to Spurs...

He's not going to be bothered if he wont be playing anyway.

Some of them have mate!
Spurs, Chelsea, Arsenal and the rest but, apparently not good enough for England!

You missed out Stevie G to captain the team after pleading with him to come back. Southgate is out of the same arse as Hodgson & McClaren.
