Parsnip Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Got to do our teams surely?? Pickford Walker McGuire Stones A.Arnold L.Cheek Henderson Delph Sterling Kane Rashford Tell you what there's about £350m worth of talent in that front 3. Looks pretty good on paper!

Calvert-Lewin is not very good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither's Danny Welbeck, might as well blood the younger lads in and give them a shot. Gray, Abraham, Wilson.. anyone but a tried and failed option like Welbeck.

He'll be down in the Championship before long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sexydadbod Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I imagine his team will look something like this Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Trippier Henderson Rose Lingard Alli Kane Sterling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope in as a second choice keeper for a premiership club when you have ruddy, carson johnstone which are all better and more experienced. Cahill is way past his best and doesnt like the ball, and we are playijng a back 3 right? Dunk + others are much better options. Wellback? seriously? Roll on 2 - 4 years when Sessignon, Sancho and Lookman will all be shoe-ins. Shame its come to soon for them, and Southgate who is insistant on premiership experience, even when its bad experience. Yeah why take the highest finishing English goalkeeper this season? The English goalkeeper with the most clean sheets from a league heavily populated with English goalkeepers in the division above us? Some people's lack of knowledge beyond their own team is incredible at times. I get the Shelvey thing but... Players playing ahead of Shelvey: Henderson - captained his side to a CL place and the CL final. Dier - finished 3rd in the prem. Loftus-Cheek - Closest player to the Ox in terms of turning with the ball and driving at the defence. Agreed he should be considered for his passing ability but look at the fairly in depth analysis done on him on MOTD, he just cannot concentrate long enough to track back and cover his defence. On Dunk, have you seen him more than 2/3 times this season? (Full matches not 2 minutes here and there at the end of MOTD) because Southgate has to do literally only that when it isn't an international break. Cahill plays in a back 3 for Chelsea with Christiansen (inexperienced) and Luiz (potential liability) so has had excellent preparation for playing with the other CBs in the squad as opposed to Dunk who plays in a back 4 for his club. I'm not saying Dunk shouldn't have gone/not saying Cahill should have but there's so much more to it than 'Southgate has bottled it'. Jesus Southgate has picked the most progressive squad for a tournament of any manager in my life time in terms of players suiting a system rather than big guns and still gets hammered. He's blended youth with some experience because you need know how in tournament football. Game management is crucial. Sancho, Lookman, Sessegnon etc will all have plenty of years playing for England. We'll never as a nation be happy with any manager. Criticised before we've even finished the pre-world cup friendlies... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Millenniumram Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 Normally very critical of Southgate but I’m not too against that squad. Wouldn’t have take either Cahill or Welbeck, but other than that I can see little wrong there to be honest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob The Badger Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I think there's a bit of a shortage of players with double barreled names. If only Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain hadn't got injured I think we'd have been okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s about the here and now. Many of those players may not be anywhere near it in four years time. Especially if the ‘98-‘00 age groups are as special as people believe. Utterly agree, you have to be opportunistic. Can you imagine Brazil entering a World Cup with that mentality? And what if you get a great core together for 2022 and then you lose your best 2 to injury just before the tournament, or this just have an off day.

Bris Vegas Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 I think this could be one of the most exciting tournaments for England in a long time. With the likes of Pep, Klopp and Pochettino regularly coaching a good chunk of our team I'm hopeful that will have a big impact. Quarter-finals and a decent playing style would be big progress.

I've always wondered about the coach effect. Is an International manager's job really just to find a system that allows the players to play how they're trained to at their club, where they have done so day in day out under (probably) better coaches? Is an International Manager who's determined to make the players play his way just at risk of rocking each of their individual boats and unlikely to succeed?

Wolfie20 Posted May 16, 2018 Share Posted May 16, 2018 What a totally uninspiring midfield, without much in the way of flair or imagination. Lucky to make the quarters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
