A number of Newcastle United fans have been discussing Gareth Southgate's view of Jamaal Lascelles after Aston Villa's Tyrone Mings became the 12th centre-back used by the England boss.

Mings made his Three Lions debut on Monday night alongside Manchester United's Harry Maguire against Bulgaria, as Southgate opted to make a change at the back by removing Everton's Michael Keane from the side that lost to the Czech Republic last week.

Southgate has previously trusted Phil Jones, Gary Cahill, Joe Gomez, Kyle Walker, Lewis Dunk, Phil Jagielka, John Stones, Chris Smalling and James Tarkowski as his central defensive options, and included Chelsea's Fikayo Tomori in his England squad for the first time this international break.

Burnley's Ben Gibson has also been named on the Three Lions bench thrice under Southgate, as has Fulham's Alfie Mawson, although like Tomori, they did not enter the action to earn their senior debuts.

Newcastle's Lascelles, meanwhile, is yet to earn a call-up to any England senior squad, with his last outing for the Three Lions coming in an U21 friendly against France in November 2014.

Since then, the Magpies captain has helped the St. James' Park outfit return to the Premier League as Championship title holders and formed one of the best top-flight backlines in the Toon's maiden campaign back in the highest tier of English domestic football.

United shipped 47 goals in the 2017/18 campaign, which only the top five of that season and seventh-placed Burnley could better. Newcastle conceded just one more in the 18/19 term, too, despite slipping from a tenth-placed finish to 13th in the Premier League standings.

Toon supporters are at a loss as to what more Lascelles needs to show in order to earn a maiden cap or a call-up by Southgate, with one calling the Derby-born defender's continued absence "a complete joke".

Others have suggested that Southgate has often chosen his teams on names over form and that it is "scandalous" that Lascelles continues to be overlooked.
