He was playing a 4231 for most of the night not a midfield 3. Bowen just gets slotted in to one of the wide forwards. He's OK, but doesn't offer anything new. what did you want? Who should have played instead? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Work that one out. I think he plays as the number one tactic for 4 years has been to hump the ball on to his Frank Sidebottom head at every set piece opportunity.

If it's always going to be a double pivot I'd like to have seen Ward-Prowse alongside rice. I'd have given sancho another chance in a wide forward position and either Bellingham or mount as the cam. He's had a crap season but he's hardly alone in that. I'd have looked into the youngsters for a lb rather than play Trippier out of position. I'd have been trying other cbs other than Maguire who is a well known quantity. Coady didn't impress v Hungary and Ben White was injured but I might have given mings a go alongside stones.

Gritstone Ram Posted June 8, 2022 Share Posted June 8, 2022 If that was a penalty then Huddersfield should have had two in the play off final. Premier ram 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GK: Pope, Forster, Ramsdale (Pickford 5th) RB: James, TAA (Walker 8th, Trippier 15th) CB: Chalobah, Tomori, Burn, Tarkowski (Stones 5th, Guehi 13th, Mings 14th, White 16th, Maguire 20th, Coady 22nd) LB: Walker-Peters, Targett (Justin N/A) DM/CM/AM: Mount, Milner, Jones, Loftus-Cheek, Rice, Bellingham (Gallagher 7th, Ward-Prowse 10th, Phillips 27rd) RW: Maddison, Bowen (Saka 4th) LW: Sterling, Grealish CF: Kane, Foden (Abraham 5th) In the two games so far, only two out of the 11 defenders and goalkeepers that would get into the Whoscored squad have had any game time. James limited to 30 minutes and TAA 60. You can make certain arguments for excluding some players due to style or age (such as Burn, Tarkowski, Milner, Maddison), but Maguire, Coady and Phillips have been exceptionally poor all season and shouldn't have been in the squad, never mind starting. Southgate has too much faith in who he has called up in the past and is too slow at moving on. 5 RBs in the squad yet again is proof of his reluctance to move on from Walker and Trippier. We should have spent the last couple of years letting James and TAA to grow into that role. Starting Walker at CB instead of Tomori in a nothing game vs Hungary was taking the pee. No recognised LB in the squad (2nd position for Trippier and Justin) was another major squad selection error. Premier ram and rynny 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That and the fact we lack genuine world class players. Harry Kane and Kyle Walker are probably the only two who you would say are among the best around in their respective position.

Ghost of Clough Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Other than Maguire, it's very close to our top performing players from last season with the players in the squad. Good chance for a number of players to force their way into first 11 plans going forward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
