Ollie Watkins

[DB9]

Well done Ollie, Finally not overlooked, Hopefully he'll grasp this opportunity with both hands.

Depending on how you classify some players (TAH, Madison), my initial impression is - lots of forwards, not many true midfielders in this squad, and two of them are Phillips and Henderson ... What has Ward-Prowse got to do to get picked?

I would suggest he is definitely more likely to play against Australia than Italy. I'm sure Gareth and Bayern will want Kane to have a little rest first

Surely Troy was easy to classify?

England boss Gareth Southgate on Ollie Watkins' recall:

"Callum Wilson is carrying an injury and we were not certain he would be available.

"Ollie has started the season well - he's hit a bit of scoring form in the last couple of weeks. You have to be careful with that because you can't just go on recency bias with selection.

"But he is in good form and obviously coming in on a high and he's been with us before so we know his character, his personality - he is a good guy around the group.

"His team are playing well and he's playing for a team that are really well coached and they are in a good moment."

Seems to be damning him with faint praise?

Sounds to me Gareth doesn't understand international management.
"You have to be careful with that because you can't just go on recency bias with selection."
Isn't the point of international management to pick the best 23 players on form? (Sorry best 22 + Maguire)
