In my opinion Gareth Southgate, the English national team manager has made some poor decisions in picking his squad. Firstly; he has picked West Brom player Jake Livermore, where he could have picked Jack Wilshere, who has been good for Bournemouth this season. Also, if Livermore plays against Germany he will be absolutely obliterated by the organised German midfield, who play for big clubs in Europe, unlike Livermore who represents West Brom who are 8th in the league. So, although Livermore is a good player I don’t think he’s England worthy.
Furthermore, I believe Redmond shouldn’t have been picked because he’s only scored five goals this season and got one assist and Southgate could have picked Theo Walcott who has got seventeen goals in all competitions this season and who has got good pace and shot on him and Redmond is only young whether Walcott is experienced.
Moving on, I consider it a wrong decision from Gareth Southgate not to pick Andy Carroll because he’s having one of his best seasons for West Ham, and he’s a real presence in the air and is one of the Premier League’s best headers of the ball which is the type of player England have needed for a past few games.
The last wrong move I think Southgate has made in naming his squad is putting James Ward- Prowse in it, because he hasn’t started a huge amount of games this season and he’s a bit young, so I think Southgate should wait a bit before he puts Ward-Prowse in an England squad.
