Don't recall him from our games vs Lille. Weird call up given its not an area we're struggling for decent players in. Lack of a left back is utterly bizarre. And then you have the recall of Maguire. He's doing nothing to suggest he should get the job full time. He came on as a sub in both games vs us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rosenthal Posted August 30 Share Posted August 30 14 hours ago, rodders0223 said: Angel Gomes what type of player is he? 3 goals in 92 games is some stat for anyone other than a right back. Had the joint most assists in the French league last season. Used to be a pure no 10 in his United days, but has even played holding midfielder after his French move. Also for U21 where Carsley know him from, key player for his team. Extremely press resistant, very skillful, but also very short at 5ft6. Deserve his call up.

Okay, I've just looked it up and it's not him at all, it's just the guy who managed Iceland in 2016, which when you think about it, is quite a bit more logical Why did I think it was that other lad?

No idea who he is and why he's suddenly international class. Saying that, if Maguire can get dozens of caps I'm sure anyone can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

icouldtelltheworld Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 Carsley has said he won't be singing GSTK, with predictably angry articles/comments in the Daily Heil etc. Claims that he's always been too focused on the game to sing the national anthem of either Ireland or England before a game he's played in/managed. Wonder if any old footage of him mumbling along to a few words of Amhrán na bhFiann will emerge before the match... I'm sure the English press will be balanced in its reaction if so Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

desensitized43 Posted September 7 Share Posted September 7 It’s a boring anthem tbh. To me it’s just not a national anthem. It’s about a deity I don’t believe in and a person/institution I couldn’t care less about. I wouldn’t mind all of that though if the thing was **** inspiring. Take “I vow to thee my country”…similar subject material but it builds to something uplifting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is slightly different in that he is English But what did Sven do when we played Sweden? Capello Vs Italy? Jack Charlton when his Ireland team played England? ( Not sure if those 3 things even happened) It's not hard to just apply a bit of common sense and reasoning, and I'm sure the commentators will mention he played for Ireland at least 5 times before kick off And even after all of that, the notion that he or any of them have to sing the anthem....what a load of bollocks, of course they don't, it means absolutely nothing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate was judged on what he did in world cups and euros not nations league gamesand friendlies so what Carsley does in the interim is not worth much.
