Let's play Aubamawang

He is right now, but he hasn't always been in form when he's been picked. What's even the point in playing your 1st choice GK in a friendly? He'll never know if he can rely on a backup if he gets injured because he doesn't play them.
Then you have situations like White where he gets called up but only sees the pitch in friendlies. I'm surprised more players don't reject call ups.
Remember when Toney first got selected then he wasn't even played?

I've gone from wanting England to win the Euros for the sakes of Saka, Rice, and Rammers but Southgate has crossed a huge red line - hope they crash and burn now.

I don't support England but was warming to them due to Saka and Rice. This Ben White thing has just made me double down on my original position.

Can you give me a TLDR explanation of what happened with Ben?

It's a weird situation with Southgate because you acknowledge that he's done fairly well with England especially considering the position they were in prior to him arriving. Semis and finals as well as creating a good harmony within the squad. But you can also acknowledge in his limitations with how his teams play and how stifled they seem at times, he's probably not getting enough out of the serious talents in the team and having a deeper look at most of their achievements, they came thanks to favourable routes to the semi-finals and final of the world cup and euros. Only top team they faced was Germany.
You can't justify getting rid but then you also feel like it's time to move on. Then comes the question who'd take over and get minimum similar results? International football is completely separate from club and how things are done. Howe was a popular suggestion not so long ago but now his reputation has taken a hit, similarly Potter who's had destroyed at Chelsea.

The best and really only good thing that Southgate has done for England is PR stuff, he's got the players enjoying playing for England, which hasn't been the case for most of the last 30 years.
As a football manager he's subpar and that's putting it kindly. He's cost us at later stages of tournaments with his negativity and letting games meander. He's just crap tactically.
England should have won the Euro's and would have put Italy to the sword in the first half with a more astute manager, likely the same with Croatia in the WC semi's.
This England squad is very, very good. He's costing a great generation of English footballers. I can't wait to be rid of him.
Problem is he's in with all the blazers at the FA and does the corporate management speak, they'll offer him a new contract after the Euro's I'm sure, it's easy street for them with a yes man like Southgate.

Mainoo added to the England squad after 15 league games. Big clubs young players have huge advantage when it comes to being picked. If Mainoo played 15 games for Brentford would he be in the England squad?
Country: England
With the talent he’s shown…I think so.
Don’t think he’ll be starting or anything but it’s more for experience and to lock him down as a future England player I’m guessing.
Country: England
Player:Rice
The biggest joke is ( and I rated the guy in his prime) Henderson being in the England squad still. He's basically there as a cheerleader and because Southgate likes him.
Mainoo deserves a call up tbf. He reminds me a bit of Saka when he broke through, kind of player who looks like he's been playing at this level of years, has a natural reading of the game that is rare for a player of his age / position. He's the sort of talent you fasttrack.
Doubt he'll play a much of a role at the Euro's but he deserves to go and get some experience of what a major tournament is like.

It’s partially to convince him not to play for Ghana.
Happened many times in the past? Lamptey was born in London, Williams in Bilbao etc
They’re recruiting him regardless.

Yea those chose those countries after realising they not gonna picked by the country they grew up in. 18 year old kid with 15 league games in his career is not gonna pick national team right now. Even Diaz chose Morocco after playing through the ages for Spain.

Not just that, @Macho has been threatening to beat the crap out of Mainoo if he doesn't pick Ghana...so Southgate has to act fast before he gives in.
Macho has also been begging both Gareth and Partey for Thomas to move on to the England national team for the last few years, but sadly neither of the 2 have responded.

Eddie will probably pick Ghana for next World Cup. He is perfect example of someone who can play for another country, but still not giving up on his first choiceWhat about Eddie
Country: Kosova
Player:Saka
How come? I thought that if a player is picked AND plays, then he cannot change his NT anymore.
Eddie played some insignificant minutes in a friendly of England against Australia.
