Match Day Thread Englands Worldcup thread

Squad is...

Goalkeepers: Butland, Pickford, Pope

Defenders: Alexander-Arnold, Cahill, Delph, Jones, Maguire, Rose, Stones, Trippier, Walker, Young.

Midfielders: Alli, Dier, Henderson, Lingard, Loftus-Cheek.

Forwards: Kane, Rashford, Sterling, Vardy, Welbeck

 

All very Mediocre footballers bar Kane when he is fit.

Hope we show some heart and desire this time at least

 

So little flair, skill and technique in this lot

 

Not expecting much

Last 16 would be good

 

And maybe some bollocks for once !!!

 

Shelvey has and should be in the squad.

Him and Vardy would link well.

Other than that I'm pleased with Southgate's choices.

 

Don't get the shelvey love in tbh. He is absolute bobbins

 

No Bertrand? Funny as ****, he's better than both Young and Rose.

 

Young has had a better season

 

I think that collection of forwards has a lot of promise. The midfield does look mediocre though. And the defence hardly inspires confidence.

Hopefully Southgate and his staff will have a plan at least; a definite idea about how he wants the team to play in each game.

 

No he hasn't he's just playing in a better team. Bertrand has been a consitent player for years and should be starting every game for England.

 

Shelvey is a thousand miles from meeting any definition of a World Class footballer. The fact that he is probably no worse than others in that squad shows how lacking in creativity we are likely to be.

 

Pretty good squad overall. I would've had Shelvey over Welbeck as we don't need that many forward players and also Tarkowski over Cahill but aside from that it ain't bad. Amazed Rose got picked but no English LB has performed well enough this season.

Harsh on Vardy, Sterling and Alli, those three are very good players. I like the look of Loftus-Cheek too, though I doubt Southgate will play him.

 

Bertie hasn't had a great season tbf. Though that's probably not his fault, it's hard to look good in a struggling side.

 

Where is £40m man Danny Drinkwater?

 

And England is better than Southampton

 

Even with that in mind Rose ahead of him after playing 10 games is plain silly.

 

You reckon?

 

Will SG play a 3 at the back or stick with the 442 style of bland

 

Absolutely, stolen by Chelsea, made in Gillingham...true story that
