Not in the least surprised. Southgate is, and always has been a Yes man. He just doesn’t rate Jack, it’s as simple as that. Just look at his feeble excuses.

No Prem experience? Mmmm, Phillips, baffling.
Not played enough in the Prem? Mmmm Foden 12 Prem apps, Jack 70 Prem apps.
Still to grow up? Walker is 5.5 years older and makes Jack look a saint. Dier (18 months older) does a Cantona and gets selected as a defender!!!
Mason Mount ‘impossible to leave out’. Fcku me. He’s allowed so much space by CFCs good players, he can shoot on sight, he’s bound to score sometime. Jack makes his own space and still assists and scores. He runs games.

In truth it’s probably to money clubs, top 6 bullying poor auld mr yes. Wasn’t it Fergie who once told Sven that if he didn’t take an uncapped manure player, he wouldn’t make the others available for a US summer tour?

He totally and utterly fluked a WC semi final, playing against sh1te, and lost to the 1st half decent team. He was a good player, but his managerial record is shocking. He was appointed by, and is 100% backed by the English F.A... surely that says it all.
