I'd say Coady and Saka relatively lucky to get in. But Coady screams 3 at the back again, you definitely wouldn't pick him to part of a 2.
Think Watkins is unlucky. Otherwise the rest of the squad seems to pick itself.

I cannot see why the squad needs 4 RB's and 3 defensive midfielders, the former is especially confusing and an error for me. I would have taken Ward Prowse to give more options in the creative areas.

Saka another who has likely benefitted from being versatile and able to cover a variety of positions (arteta clearly likes to play him somewhere else each week lol) the reality is hes likely to sit on the bench for the whole comp, albeit he does offer something a little different to the other options I cant see him being the left footer of choice above Foden or Grealish unless Southgate wants to play him on the right to cut in?

Southgate likes to play 2 holding midfielders, surprised hes only taken 3 tbh with Henderson not fully fit

I looked at the squad and positions on BBC and thought the same. Furthermore 4 right backs and 5 midfielders in total. It looks a bit top heavy to me.

I would worry about all the centre backs because they all have mistakes in them and none inspire confidence.
On that point we will need goals and that means creative players and proven goal scorers.
We have some very good creative players but surprised Watkins was left out,but he and Lingard could easily get recalled.

its only 5 midfielders if you say theres 8 forwards, of those 8 only 2 are out and out strikers (kane and dcl)

The whole squad looks very unbalanced with the potential of trying to fit square pegs
It looks like he is going to go three at the back with two in front so wing backs but that still doesn’t justify going for 4 right backs which seems mental
Watkins has shown he can play in a number of positions in the front three or two so once Greenwood removed himself he looked a shoe in
So who from that attacking bunch is missing out - 4 spots up for grabs with Kane clearly getting one

Could he play rice and mount? Better than the Leeds lad who looked out of his froth in the last friendly imho.
As for Henderson. Nailed on if fit, but why-oh-why are we always trying to rush half fit players into tournaments?? Beckham, gazza, Robbo... it always goes pear shaped.

every chance he plays rice and mount in the same side for me yes
think part of the problem is that there are no perceived real standouts, the majority of the attacking options are seen to be of a similar level, most deemed interchangeable, pretty sure Southgate has no idea what his best side is. apart from Kane would you be confident of any of the other attacking midfielders/forwards starting the first game?

Gutted Ancelotti has gone, I understand the lure of one of the biggest Clubs in the world, but still annoyed after all the statements and interviews he’s given about the future and being part of it.

This is the bit that I find odd with lazy BBC journalism, Fodenis not an out and out midfielder, neither is Stirlin. If Mason Mount was playing for City pep could shoe him in as a false 9 he is that good.

There are worse out there, but hopefully he won’t get it.
Have absolutely no idea who they’ll go for.?

If I was an Evertonian, I would be over the moon with Eddie Howe.There are worse out there, but hopefully he won’t get it.

Moyes has been mentioned too. I obviously hope he doesn’t go, I think if our owners back him a bit we could be challenging for Europe again next season.

Everton could do worse than Nuno.
