I agree, I was surprised at how high profile the reaction was. He's been good but he's playing in a role where there's big competition in the England set up
Happy for Rashford and Sancho not to go as I think they'd just be sat on the bench for all the games like at the Euros.
Maguire and Shaw have been fine for England which is why I think they have still been picked. Rightly so as well, I think you need continuity and familiarity more in defence than further forward.
Reaction justified as Southgate claims to pick form players then does the total opposite
Gareth has finally settled the Sancho v Grealish debate

The form thing is debatable for me. He’s scored 3 in 7 starts. If he keeps scoring at that rate it will be a productive season. However he’s offered little in terms of creativity and well taken goals aside his performances have still underwhelmed.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
There’s a lot of things City can boast about. The form of Grealish is not one of them
Not just Grealish. Bowen has scored 1 penalty all season so far. He's incredibly lucky to be picked.
Personally couldn't give a stuff about England though and rarely ever have.
Rashford n Sancho getting a rest will help us a lot in second half of season.

Indeed. Can hardly call Sancho a form player though, the OP is right.

In fairness Bowen was far better than Sancho last season and worked his way into the squad. It would be harsh to drop him already.
The less our players play international football the better.
Martial, Rashford n Sancho all potentially getting a few weeks off will reap it's rewards for us after Christmas.

Could be key in your battle to retain Europa League qualification 👍
Sancho has been bang average this season for the majority of games, scoring the odd goal doesn't change that. Shouldnt be in england team based on performances
doesn't really deserve a spot based on the past 12 months and it'll benefit us in the coming months with him getting a rest.
Mad that the only players in the England squad from United are Henderson, Maguire and Shaw.

Not huge quality in any of their positions tbf. We seem to have less English players playing at United than ever tbf.

Fair enough. But then again we didn't have to go cap in hand to a Sheikh in order to be a big club. We earned that title ourselves.
MASSIVE !!!!
Garbage last season, ok this season.
Hardly an in form player really but to be honest the players in the squad are just as average as well.
Maguire gets in due to a weakness in English centre backs and he is one of Safegates main men. I don't particularly like it cos it means Walker has to play right back as opposed to a more attacking right back. On current form James.
Shaw I don't understand at all. He is not that good at all so this is where the contradiction is. Sancho has been better than Grealish, Bowen, maybe even Saka this season.

Shaw has been average/poor for a year now but even still name 2 better English left backs than him.
I’m not going to say I’ve seen much of the other players but other than stats I’d be surprised if Sancho has been any better than them.

Chilwell is the obvious one but he also plays Trippier at left back so that's 2.
Rico Henry from Brentford is one that always gets missed.

In a far smaller stadium, further away, in a lesser competition. If you don't get it, there's no point trying to argue. If City had played a Europa game in Moldova last night there probably wouldn't have been 100 fans travelling.
Look at the excuses made under that Twitter post as if cost of living only applies to City fans. Embarrassing.
