villa4europe Posted Saturday at 19:16 Share Posted Saturday at 19:16 Gareth Southgate held a deep line and played it safe Vs a Slovakian front of schranz, who plays for red star and has 5 goals in 24 games, David strelec who plays for slovan Bratislava and has 3 in 18, and haraslin who plays for Sparta Prague and has 6 in 36 That's the best joke you'll hear all day That entitlement creeping in again... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saw someone earlier in a different thread (or here?) ask how the **** that mug of a CB from Everton and nkeitah got a cap in the last couple of years and that's where I'd say to be fair to Southgate you have to look, you're playing postmen from malta there's not problem not playing Harry Kane But seriously how have we gone in to a tournament begging Luke Shaw to be fit given he's a 6/10 player who has spent the last 5 years not fit and scrambling at CM I'll try and give the man an excuse here and it's a stretch...the friendlies this year have been a disaster because what they've done is confirmed players aren't good enough, he tried chilwell, he tried Gomez, he tried Henderson, he tried a load of guys who played their way out rather than finding players who played their way in Chilwell was amazingly terrible, proper eye opener Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
switters Posted Saturday at 19:32 Share Posted Saturday at 19:32 is pretty weird he didn't take a proper LB other than injured Shaw. Tyrick Mitchell seemed the obvious, he'd had a couple of games for England before, ended season ok in strong Palace team. Not a world beater but capable enough, and plays alongside Guehi regularly. As it is he's got Konsa, Gomez, Dunk all in squad not played a minute between them 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jacketspuds Posted Sunday at 14:40 Share Posted Sunday at 14:40 What a message to send to the rest of the squad. Doesn’t matter how well you play, Southgate’s favourites will be given every opportunity to find form, even when they’ve been utter shit. I really can’t stand him. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted Sunday at 14:59 Share Posted Sunday at 14:59 Pickford didn't sound very cheerfull being interviewed. Apparently "we just gotta win the game." No shit sherlock. It's starting to creep in the team, maybe starting to lose confidence in Southgate. I mean, he's making most look like they cannot play international football and only good for there club's.

mykeyb Posted Sunday at 15:59 Share Posted Sunday at 15:59 Not that we're getting there but if he carries picking the same 12-13 players and they get to the final (again we ain't getting there) they will be knackered Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
