You ignored the second part of my post; in what ways do you think Trippier and Trent have been superior? The answer isn’t on Wikipedia so don’t hold your breath waiting.

If he was Italian, German ,french , Brazilian he would be straight into their squads, that’s why England will never win anything. They choose players only at the big clubs, it’s so narrow minded. Southgate is a knob, he’s always distanced himself from Palace.

A lot of nonsense on here about you need to be this or that to play for England, let him develop etc. No. It is an unjustifiable disgrace that he's been overlooked. If you're good enough, you're old enough. What better way to develop then being tested at the very highest level?
Should be, but Unfortunately it's not, and never has been.

What possible benefit is it for AWB to be selected for England to Palace. No good has ever resulted in previous Palace players being selected, they all left within a year.

Southgate is a knob, he’s always distanced himself from Palace. He is now called into the under 21s a good opportunity for him. Southgate gave his reasons, he’s not prepared to hand caps out just on the fly. There’s some good RBs ahead of him who have played well for England. I am convinced he will get his chance soon. But as a Palace fan, have to admit it’s frustrating Would love to see him in an England shirt

It looks like I go against the grain but I am not sure he is quite ready yet.

AWB would likely be first choice as right back for RDC, his birthplace. Of our former players not born in England who could expect to be more certain of being selected for a place in international/intercontinental contests, we´ve had VicMo, Wilf, and Bolasie. Not that anyone on this site could really care, but the sport is awash with Brazilian born footballers overlooked by CBF selectors who have chosen to be citizens of European, and even Japanese, nations: Diego Costa, Eduardo (Croatia and Arsenal), just to mention two that immediately spring to mind. Of course, there can be no comparing why Brazilians left their home country and African born players being overlooked, but flight from poverty and gang and tribal wars in their countries of birth have surely had a part in all instances.

Think he’s up there with the best English right backs in the country , a traditional fullback that tackles.

He is the best right back in the division this season and top tackler in Europe. He's put City, united, Chelsea and Liverpool players in his pocket. It is an unjustifiable disgrace that he's been overlooked. If you're good enough, you're old enough. What better way to develop then being tested at the very highest level?
Totally agree

Southgate was a good player but he's a jellyfish as a manager. Not sure what your point is. I would however remind you that he is one of 3 England managers ever to lead his country to a major tournament semi final and is in fact the only one to do it twice. And he has done that with a fairly limited group of players.
