UpTheVilla26 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Another joke of a squad. He couldn't not call Ollie up after that hat-trick but how you pick Maguire over Konsa is truly a shambles. I'd be surprised if Watkins gets more than 10mins. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post OutByEaster? Posted October 5, 2023 Moderator Popular Post Share Posted October 5, 2023 Maguire and Henderson will have to retire (fully) in order to stop getting picked. Henderson played in front of 900 people last weekend in the league he definitely didn't go to for the money - he was surplus to requirements at Liverpool and his legs have gone. Maguire is a disaster. Phillips is currently looking for a move because he can't get a club game. Southgate is a moron. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yet again, Slabhead, Henderson and Phillips! No Sterling either. Bloke is an absolute spunk trumpet 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 5, 2023 Moderator Share Posted October 5, 2023 Just looking at the squad - who are the left backs? It looks like he's picked six centre halves and two right backs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutByEaster? Posted October 5, 2023 Moderator Share Posted October 5, 2023 He hasn't replaced a striker with Watkins - Nketiah is still in there - it looks like he's just picked more forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UpTheVilla26 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I honestly think that if the news broke before the next International games that Henderson, Maguire or Phillips had died, he'd still name them in the squad. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villan95 Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Maguire, Phillips and Henderson picks are a joke. Colwill and Nketiah in because they play for Chelsea and Arsenal. Rashford and Grealish in bad form but still picked. Bowen and Watkins have had to play out of their skins to get a sniff. Players like Konsa, Burn, JWP, Gordon all playing well not given a chance. He can't go soon enough Edited October 5, 2023 by villan95 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJBOB Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Does it really matter when he's going to play the same XI for any real games anyway? We saw how difficult it was for Grealish to get an appearance when he was at Villa then miraculously becomes a starter once at City. He'll deploy his usual boring rubbish side out and then everyone will cream their pants when they beat some tradies playing football and then say they were 'unlucky' against a top side. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishywashy Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 I get that in international football most managers like to stick with a spine and group of players that are a good fit with regardless of club form to some extent, but Southgate's spine is just so bad it's not worth it. Southgate gets furious when social media goes off at Maguire (the abuse is very much absurd sometimes), but by making his key centre back someone who hasn't played club football properly in about two years, it's understandable that there are going to be errors. He's setting Maguire up to fail at this point. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wishywashy Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 (edited) Probably done the maths completely wrong as it was mental maths, but England have played 20 matches against Top 10 teams in the FIFA World Rankings under Southgate and won 6 of them. I wonder how that compares to say, Argentina. EDIT: Under Scaloni, Argentina have played 9 games against Top 10 teams and won 6 of them. Speaks for itself, really.
