Is Southgate just going to play the same players until they turn to dust, or is he going to ever phase any out and get some new favourites? Wait, what? Maguire had powers.....? 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaspode Posted May 25, 2023 Share Posted May 25, 2023 22 years ago: Beckham had unveiled his Mohican haircut before the game - there was a lad in the East stand concourse who wanted to look like him so has sellotaped a black woolly sock to his head - great memories....

I remember all the Mexican players being close around Beckham near the final (or half time?) whistle to get his shirt 🤣 it’s odd because Mexico are hardly minnows, WC last 16 seems about their level Edited May 25, 2023 by littleover ram Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
littleover ram Posted June 16, 2023 Author Share Posted June 16, 2023 Qualifiers back today, hopefully off a good first day of the ashes we’re looking a bit injury hit, but Malta should be the weakest team in the group Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Van der MoodHoover Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I think Gareth needs to be very careful against the mighty Malta. I reckon he needs to stick with 2dms with some more cms just in case. And find room for big Harry Maguire.........it is Malta after all Oh, he has........

But he's a bit limited and shown before that in pressure situations he has lacked imagination. The England infrastructure has been improving for years so he does have far superior resources. Expectations are therefore higher. The use of Trent Alexander -Arnold has been both imaginative and tonight successful -if perhaps borrowed from pep guardiola using stones.
