I'm not trying to shit on Palmer here because he's been playing well, but all it takes for him are like 5 good performances to get in and meanwhile James Ward-Prowse is still not part of this team.

Congrats to Konsa btw, really happy for him.

I’d say he’s more in bowens position….

…..who has been the clear 2nd best RW after saka for 3 years and has only been called up 3(?) times that entire time

Ward-Prowse should be there instead of Jordan of Arabia but Fraudgate won’t drop him

"Can't believe [player] has been called up, what about [player who plays an entirely different position]"

The fanfare is a bit much at the moment. All his goals have come from Pen's and his assists were in 4-1 thrashings to Burnley and 9 man Spurs. The eye test tells you he's a good player of course but people might be getting ahead of themselves.

That being said, JWP plays a different position/role which he's competing with Henderson, Gallagher, Bellingham, and Trent; he's a set piece specialist but outside of that he isn't ahead of any of those apart from Henderson who plays in Saudi Pro League now but is one of Southgate's favourites.

Because JWP and Palmer don’t play the same position?

fucking hell villa fans are the absolute nitpickers in chief for the england team, whichever mediocre player you have isn't picked you complain, and now your pick of the month has been chosen you're still complaining!

Go back to booing Wayne "nice to see your own fans booing ya" "wazza" rooney ,you joker.

[–] Livinglifeform@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

He used to play for Chelsea but used to play for City. Of course he's getting picked.

But JWP has had a few call ups and clearly isn't offering what the manager wants.

Trying to gel together a squad isn't easy but people seem to want the 23 most inform players in reach call up.
