How odd that a man not playing for his club (apart from the occasional few minutes when he has been playing badly for his club) would struggle when playing for England? When Jesse Lingard comes on and does more in his first 6.3 minutes than you manage in 63 minutes, you know you have had a bad night."

MikeO Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Article on the BBC about what England need to succeed in Russia; they could have summed it up in two words, "A miracle" but chose to go into more depth. When talking about a midfielder to create chances they discussed everyone bar Barkley, then put up the following graphic of chances created per ninety minutes. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/41503064 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted October 6, 2017 Report Share Posted October 6, 2017 Does anyone look at Southgate and think "stop doing that 'studious manager' act"....... the posturing on the touch line with a furrowed brow, arms folded..... Its not washing with me at all.... get in the stands and watch the game with a birds eye view. seen an hilarious tweet last night "gareth southgate stops at traffic lights on grand theft auto" EFC-Paul and Bailey 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 My hate for the FA and the English management is summed up in this squad and with the inclusion of Winks. I like the player, I think he has a future but Davies is far better, has played more PL games and crucially he can actually attack and defend. Yet today it is Winks getting his first England cap purely because he plays for Spurs. It's no wonder Ross wants to move South. pete0 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 And why on earth are we playing 5 at the back? why on earth is Keane in the squad? In what planet does Cresswell get in ahead of Baines? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Palfy Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Saw a Swindon Town George cross next to Bristol Rovers cross, fierce rivals normally there kicking the shit out of each other, if this game doesn't liven up the fans might create their own entertainment, it's happened before.

johnh Posted October 8, 2017 Report Share Posted October 8, 2017 Watching second-half. England had a free kick 15 yards outside Lithuania's penalty area, four passes later it was back with Butland. I despair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nogs Posted November 2, 2017 Report Share Posted November 2, 2017 Only Pickford in the senior squad, which I can't complain about on current form. What is worrying though is that Tammy Abraham and Ruben Loftus-Cheek have been given first call ups. What will the likes of DCL and Davies make of that? It's ok if you play for a shit team, as long as you're only on loan from Chelsea, you still have an England career? Whereas if you play game in, game out for Everton....

Davies has been shit, doesn't deserve a call up. DCL maybe but he can't find the back of the net and Abraham can. Don't think it's big club biased at all. If anything your blue tinted glasses are the bias here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted November 3, 2017 Report Share Posted November 3, 2017 Loftus-Cheek shouldn' be playin based on what I have seen of him and Davies has been the shining light of a crap team. I think Tammy has had more of an impact than DCL so I can understand that. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted November 6, 2017 Report Share Posted November 6, 2017 OK so we lose Alli and Keane is called up to replace him. Then just now it's announced that Kane (along with Winks) is out so we call up Jake Livermore. Logic? Southgate's a nutjob. Bailey 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bailey Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 The commentary is comical. Phil Jones out of position, then pushes the forward which could have been a pen but just because he manages to get back and clear the ball off the line it' fabulous defending!

Bailey Posted November 10, 2017 Report Share Posted November 10, 2017 The good: Pickford, Stones, Trippier, Loftus Cheek. The latter has surprised me with how well he has played. The bad or out of depth: Gomez, Livermere, Abraham and to an extent McGuire. All bar Livermore look like they will develop to be part of the squad though. Livermore is just garbage.

johnh Posted November 11, 2017 Report Share Posted November 11, 2017 Livermore had one of the best chances in the first-half. On the edge of the area, a bit more time than you usually get at that level, and the replay showed that he scuffed the shot, almost hitting it with his heel when trying to side-foot it. Out of his depth. Thought Trippier looked promising. Maguire made a couple of errors but didn't think he played that bad. Overall, as a team, England performed better and were more positive than in recent games. Hate international breaks, even more so when they are 'friendlies'.

I suspect though that he would be found out when the games get serious. Stones bailed him out a few times. Certainly the best performance under Southgate however if that was in the WC, Germany would have put at least a couple past us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bailey Posted November 12, 2017 Report Share Posted November 12, 2017 Solanke Caledonian up ahead of DCL. From what I saw of Abraham, DCL should be ahead of him let alone Solanke. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
