Great win last night, but very disappointing from Recce James.
As our Capt he should be setting the standard. He has played a grand total of 421 minutes of football this season and been sent off twice, 50% more sending offs than any other player. It has been discussed about a lack of authority from Poch causing discipline issues. In fact, it appears to be our petulant Capt.
I would be surprised if he goes to the Euros.

I may be wrong but I think it’s James third red card this season. One I think was when he was in the bench injured and couldn’t play anyway.
I sill think Southgate will pick him for the Euros.

I hope not Tom, I think he needs the Sumner off and fully recover for next season.

He needs some games as he is going to miss our first two games of next season.

He reacted that way because he has just returned from injury and probably felt the tackle from Joao Pedro could have put him out again, still no excuse to react in that way but he is human at the end of the day.

He can get those games in pre season with us Tom, not worried about England and he probably would mot get many minutes if any so he might as well go away and relax and continue his fitness build up.

Bill, I would start James at RB for England and play walker alongside Stones.

I think Ben White is currently the best RB for England. That ship has sailed, but Southgate should be trying to get him on board.

Southgate is probably taking Walker and Trippier just like he always does ? I’d expect Maguire and Shaw to be there too. Probably Rashford. Not expecting much from England this summer as Southgate is far too set in his ways and never seems willing to take a slight risk outside of his favourite players.

I thought Ben White had ruled himself out of playing for England.
This is probably due to the tournament being played in the summer!
