Kane and Grealish are more Irish than Maddison in fact. Grealish, I believe, has represented Ireland.

Yep wasn’t my suggestion. Everyone over thinks they have done by us. Especially over grealish. My Irish mates never let that one go. He played GAA too.

I bet your mate would love him if he went to Newcastle 

He did mention him diving once against them to which I pointed out I'm always saying I like Shearer as a pundit and he volleyed Neil Lennons head!

He should go all Chris Sutton and just state he isn’t interested in playing for England whilst the Waistcoat Willy puller is in charge.

Or you could also argue this is Gallagher's reward for committing to England when he also qualified for Scotland and RoI. Who knows what promises have been made but it might be an explanation. 

Could well be a possibility, but I think the fact remains both deserve and opportunity and there's not a lot in it. If maddison wasnt a Leicester player and played for like west ham I dont think any of us would be mentioning it as the awful injustice made out in this thread 

[HybridFox]

Yes it's a benefit for us for him to get some rest. But I'm gutted for the lad in that he genuinely deserved a call-up more than anyone in that squad.

 

It's clear Southgate has his own agenda as there are simply no footballing reasons to leave him out. Disgraceful but not unexpected sadly

17 goals and 11 assists in a season are insanely good figures for a midfielder. That's Mahrez 2015/16 numbers. His omission is a total injustice and listening to the radio this afternoon many pundits share this view. 

[Sublime_Coatsworth]

I’m sorry for Madison but Southgate's such a tw@t he'd pick Mount for every game no matter how poorly he played. Cvnt did the same for Vardy. 
 

Southgate's a sub-Championship manager who just does what the FA tells him.

No, you're right but you can be sure that it would be mentioned as an awful injustice on the West Ham forums. 

[Kierzz]

When it comes down to selecting and comparing players in the same position, Southgate will always favour the player from the bigger club.

 

If Maddison was playing for even Man Utd, he would be picked and I hope that doesn't drive him to seek a transfer....

[Ironman]

Once you are in Southgate’s little Woke Rule Broken book you are done.  I dislike Southgate because he has failed twice when close to success because he picks his favourites over form. His selection of penalty takers in the Euro final was evidence of his agenda and the country paid for it.  Until he wins something he is nobody.  Rest up Madds- you know you are good enough.

different position of course, but I'd be hopping if Bowen didn't get picked ?

[RumbleFox]

I like Conor Gallagher a lot but wtf has he done to get in over Maddison? If he was a Palace player and not on loan from Chelsea he wouldn’t be close. 

[FosseSpark]

Guehi, Gallagher, Ward Prowse are crap selections which won't win us a world cup

Maybe the truth surrounding the ‘casino’ incident wasn’t so great for madders 

 

but Southgate has often said he doesn’t want to play with a ten and he clearly doesn’t think madders is physical enough to be an eight 

 

If mount or Foden get injured then he has indicated madders would be in line - but why not call him up for this squad - just in case. Otherwise you’re calling someone up who hasn’t been in the squad for over two and a half years …

 

 

I can't see how the casino incident is any worse than the disobeying of direct orders that Phil Foden did whilst still ON international duty. There's no consistency with the Southgate regime, it's a disgrace and I hope he's held accountable for it.

What do you mean?

For whatever reason Maddison is clearly not trusted by Southgate, he must of p****d him off big time.  For me JWP is not better than Maddison, but he still gets picked, even if he's playing for a poor side, so it can't be the top six conspiracy.

JWP set piece delivery is way better than Maddison. Madison in open play is way better than JWP.  But JWP is a more defensive option and we know that’s what rocks  Southgate’s boat. 

[Unabomber]

Danny Mills saying Connor Gallagher is better than Maddison. How can he say that after this seasons respective stats. Just shows how clueless these paid pundits are.

I think it’s obvious exactly what he means sadly.

[fuchsntf]

Every time every selection every England manager...

Will have those fans who just can't and won't accept...The manager is Mr xxxx,

who doesn't see it their way so he's automatically Beezlebub, & Satan incarnate...

Every PL club fan will ask why not our very own...

The manager makes his own bed...

Players will just miss out on some a seemingly benign reason..

 

Maddison IMO had earnt that call up,

Southgate like managers before him,doesn't see the easy slip-ins like the bias fans do..

They the managers  also don't understand that need to show some type of motivation to those statistically

better turn- out season's players...

Southgate did say he would pick on form, more than individual or club reputation..Though that can come from a full year or so perspectives...!

 

Bad guy approach..Maddisons own blackouts ( I still see none to mention)

are not so heavy as any 2-3 of the well known ones .Grealish,Maguire..etc

I've never heard the oh so dull Danny Murphy say anything good about City. 

 

[enmac]

Southgate, when asked about Justin, seemed to stress what a good egg he was, or words to that effect. Another dig at Maddison? Down the years there's been a history of England managers ignoring the more "individual" types. Robson was even hesitant about Gascoigne early on.
