Provisional squad of 55, so pretty sure he’ll be named. Will he be there when it’s whittled down to 25 remains to be seen.

I noted that. If Maddison can't make Southgate's squad then it is hard to see Eze breaking in. Even if he did squeeze in he would likely spend the whole tournament on the bench, so from a selfish perspective it might be better if he just had a nice rest so he's fit and ready for Boxing Day. I think Guehi might squeeze in, but again will likely be a benchwarmer. Mitchell seems the least likely of the three unless there are injuries. For me he's struggled a bit this year and seems to be having fitness/injury issues so would be best for us if he went nowhere.

Christ, even I'll keep my phone close by with those numbers, just in case.

I would expect that, if Eze were to stand any chance, he'll need to put in some exceptional performances next few matches. Bodes well for us, would love to see him play for England but selfishly I do want to keep him and his best all for ourselves at Selhurst Park.

 


Now Zaha's got a bit of green grass ahead of him here... and finds Ambrose... not a bad effort!!!!

There isn't anybody in front of him with vision, creativity, composure, skill, attitude he is in a class of his own.

You're forgetting its Southgate. I expect he'll take 6 defensive midfielders

 


One more point

As well as being a wonderful player to watch he actually seems to enjoy playing and the way he's recovered from his injury is a real credit to him.
Maybe he's got a happy nature but it makes a nice change to see a player smiling. Not that hasn't got a lot to smile about but not many seem to manage it.
We're lucky to have both him and Olise to take some of the pressure off Wilf.

I agree with you Teddy.

 


Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Do we even have 55 players eligible to play for England in top-flight league football?

Seriously, Eze's only chance of making the final (26, I think) is if he plays a blinder in each one of our remaining 4 games (final deadline is Sunday 13th November). I understand Southgate can name between 35 and 55 in the provisional squad and doesn't have to make the names public.

Just had Gareth on the phone.
Told me not to book any holidays in Nov/Dec. So fingers crossed I’m in.

At the end of the day even if Eze makes the 55 and no further it is still a great achievement to be in the top 55 best players in the country (In Southgates eyes)

Agree.

Score 4 goals and he has a chance.

I know I'm v biased, but if I was Southgate, I'd want to take a 'panic button' player. Someone different from anything else we have. For me Eze fits the bill.

Hard to see how Grealish would add more but Eze didn't cost Citeh £100,000,000. Yet.

haha yet.

To be fair, there are some similarities between the pair. But Grealish is a bit more direct and a showman. And Eze is a bit more relaxed and effortless.
