Guehi and Branthwaite are the 2 natural left centre backs.
England Euro 2024 Squad and Discussion

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Jamie (@Vault Dweller) are here to talk about United's dreadful home defeat at the hands of Big Ange's Tottenham Hotspur. Should this have been the end of Ten Hag? How long does he actually have left? And does Nik finally want ETH out?!

Maguire should have been phased out a few years ago.
Grealish is a surprise as I think he's a decent option off the bench.
I'd start Gordon at left wing but we know Foden will start there and look anonymous in every game.

There were no expectations prior to that World Cup so you could afford that. England are now in a position where expectations are to get to the semi-finals at least.
Yeah just saying his role is extremely important. He’s going to be the only attacker threatening runs in behind in basically the entire squad. Everyone else wants the ball into their feet
I'd drop Dunk.
Surprised at Grealish missing out to be honest.
Funny how he went so defence heavy last time yet this time we seem really light in that area.
A sign he may be going all out for his last hurrah?

Grealish didn't deserve to make the squad. Good to see Eze made it. Well deserved.
So that’s Grealish, Maguire, Jones, Maddison so far? So I guess we’re waiting for 3 more names then.
For all I care, Mainoo is confirmed in and I am happy. Shaw already started training on Tuesday and Southgate will definitely keep him no mater what.
My 02 favourite English players are in so I also confirm to support England this time

Branthwaite and Trafford
Trafford. 02 more to go.
It seems Gareth has (finally) stuck to his principle of choosing players in form. I know Shaw is in but that's due to lack of cover at LB.
I'd imagine it'll be Trafford, Quansah and either Wharton or one of Toney/Watkins.
Could be waiting until the last friendly.
He took Dunk over Branthwaite my god
Thought Quansah has missed out too?
It is done now. The list of 07 are James Maddison, Curtis Jones, Jarell Quansah, Harry Maguire, Jack Grealish, James Trafford and Jarrad Branthwaite
Yep, he’s out. So is Branthwaite surprisingly.
Stones, Dunk and Guehi the only CB options? I'd be worried.
England are going to really miss Jack Grealish passing the ball backwards five yards everytime he gets it.
Surprised Bowen stays, Toney and Watkins is overkill too
Very surprised at Branthwaite.
Konsa as well I imagine? Surprised though by Branthwaite not being there, would have made the call on Toney v Watkins
Gomez also plays CB too, that is 04. Southgate goes all-in this time to entertain people with lots of attack.
Maguire left out because of injury or loss of form?
Dunk 
.
.Gomez too
He's not been using either as a CB and neither have really been playing there for their club.
See above.
Injury. His form this season hasn't been under question.
Konsa is there as well, no?
You say this until the first match he lines up Gomez, Guehi, Stones, Walker at the back
Self-sabotage Southgate. I was initially rooting for England, but now that's at least 3 big comical mistakes from him in leaving Rashford, Maguire and Maddison out. 2 of them United players as well. Maybe he'll leave one or both of Mainoo and Gordon out and then the full on hatewatch can begin
Gomez and Konsa are perfectly capable centre backs.

Maguire is due to injury.
Gomez has had his best performances recently at full back and his worst ones at CB.
He's been playing Guehi and Dunk as the CB options.
Injury 100%
Maguire has been one of England's best players at every tournament since he came into the team

Maguire is hurt and Maddison doesn’t fit anywhere in this team. Rashford is the only questionable decision of the 3.
No Branthwaite is an odd one, especially with Maguire's injury.
Surprised he's taken both Watkins and Toney.
