Gary Lineker has not made friends with Crystal Palace fans, and football fans, with his latest tweet.
It seems that the Match of The Day host, 58, made one glaring omission when naming England’s top talent recently.
England are good. Will be better. Some have been around for a while...Sterling, Kane, Stones, Maguire, Walker, Trippier, Rashford....then there’s Alexander-Arnold, Foden, Hudson-Odoi, Gomez, Sancho, Rice, Nelson, Longstaff, Gibbs-White, Clarke, Chilwell, Greenwood. I could go on

Aarron Wan-Bissaka.
With the rest of the Premiership waxing lyrical about the right-back who’s topping the stats charts in tackles, Lineker failed to include the 21-year-old in his list.
With players who’ve played a fraction of game time that the England U21 international has played this season, the inclusion of players such as Sean Longstaff and Mason Greenwood makes AWB's omission more baffling.

@cpfcjay seems to think why Lineker failed to include the Palace man.
Just because Crystal Palace beat Leicester every time they play eachother doesn’t mean you can’t give Aaron Wan-Bissaka credit.

Wan Bissaka is going to be the best right back we’ve ever had.

How can you include Longstaff but not AWB?

It's not the first time Lineker's words may come back to haunt him.
"It's only Panama."

"Embarrassing to celebrate beating Panama 6-1."
"Imagine what a good team would do to them!"
