Not having it that Welbeck is in over Lookman. Just cos he's been playing in the Bundesliga he gets overlooked. Ridiculous.

Wellbeck was the one pick that seemed out of place to me but when I thought about it I couldn't come up with a better alternative. I didn't know anything about Lookman though.

On the whole I'm pretty happy with the squad, not that it looks like a world-beating one but (Wellbeck aside) I don't see any big surprises. Although I'd like to see Tarkowski promoted from standby to the final squad. But there again, not sure who I'd want him to replace.
