Sorry mate but there is no way that Hudson Odoi or the Ox are suitable replacements for Sterling.
I don't think he would have been dropped if we were playing one of the top teams and not Montenegro.

Because it involved two players. Southgate mentioned it in his statement about club rivalries being put to one side in the squad. This was obviously not the case here so each player was equally to blame. Its exaccerbated the problem and could cause division within the squad.
So despite Southgate saying Sterling was at fault, Sterling saying he was at fault and the official statement saying Sterling was at fault, people on here think well known “Scouse c**t” Joe Gomez (who is from London) is to blame?
And not to mention the obligatory wacky jokes about how Liverpool are never to blame?
Exactly!I get yesterday was a highly charged game but am I the only one thinking sterling should be more man enough/professional to rise above being wound up?
Hard to judge without knowing what actually happened. Why not punish them both for bringing club issues into international football? It wouldn't be great management if this spirals (footballers are divas) out of control and Sterling refuses to play for England again.
Hmmm suppose we'll never hear what really happened. Hopefully hasn't upset the squads preparation.Seems like Sterling has accepted it though, and reports suggest that he was in the wrong? Wouldn’t be right to punish both if so.
Nothing but by sounds of it he’s acted like a prize wanker giving it big licks infront of all the ladsTheir fans don't want any Liverpool players in a foreign international team do they ?
What do you have against Sterling ?
Seems like sensible management from Southgate, as he went on to say.
Gareth Southgate said: “We have taken the decision to not consider Raheem for the match against Montenegro on Thursday.
“One of the great challenges and strengths for us is that we’ve been able to separate club rivalries from the national team. Unfortunately the emotions of yesterday’s game were still raw.
“My feeling is that the right thing for the team is the action we have taken. Now that the decision has been made with the agreement of the entire squad, it’s important that we support the players and focus on Thursday night.”
The comments you’re on about were typed before Sterling said sorry and there was very little context to what happened. The Gomez comment you made I agree with.So despite Southgate saying Sterling was at fault, Sterling saying he was at fault and the official statement saying Sterling was at fault, people on here think well known “Scouse c**t” Joe Gomez (who is from London) is to blame?
And not to mention the obligatory wacky jokes about how Liverpool are never to blame?
Lots of the players like Gerrard and Neville of the past said we struggled with club rivalries and they disliked one another. Southgate is using this easy game to make a point when we can do without Sterling. You could say this has happened At a good time actually. In future players will think twice about acting the twat. Gomez will feel shit about Getting Sterling kicked out and Sterling is a warning to anyone who wants to act the bell. Good that it’s probably our best player as it shows them who’s really in charge.Bit oversensitive I think. I know Southgate is keen to stamp out club rivalries given the havoc they played with the so-called 'golden generation'. But this sounds f***ing innocuous and I can quite understand why Sterling would be pissed off by any big time charlie shit from Gomez, given Gomez played for precisely 3 minutes of the match and Sterling was, despite losing, one of the best players on the pitch.
I mean, dropping out best player for a bit of handbags. Nah, not having it.
On the face of it ridiculous to drop your best player for a qualifier.
Earlier in the game he got shoved into the boards by TTA well after the ball was dead. The ref saw it and did fuck all. That and the VAR stuff definitely got his back up. He was antsy for the rest of the match.As long as Sterling learns from it and eliminates his short fuse. On Sunday, near the end of the match, he lashed out at a player (can't remember who) after the ball and the player had gone over the goal line. The ref saw it and did nothing about it.
Probably, just think could have been handled internally. Obviously we don’t know the facts like so can’t judge fully but seems to just fuel the fire by making it public like this.It doesn't matter one bit when nearly every team qualifies anyway and England are there already
Well he deserves to be dropped and even dealt with a bit more severely if physical violence has been used.He throttled Gomez in the canteen when Gomez had shaken his hand.
