Phil Foden was a far bigger disappointment than Jack. England Golden Boy, with Golden hair to match (and I’ve been reliably informed for years by Englishmen that you can only dye your hair if you are to be the best player on the pitch every game) - but found himself out of the team after a couple of games and made no real impact.
Good list although I’d say Kane was ok in the end.
shiiiiiiiiiid I forgot about lad. Dyed his hair and everything. Channeled his inner Gazza only to flake out. Easier to shine in Peps system
With this in mind, Gareth Southgate. Nearly a billion pounds worth of attacking talent at his disposal and he kept the shackles on 99% of the time and never figured out how to utilize that to its fullest. Played not to lose in the final and as a result failed to win.
Apart from being Chelsea's best player in a season where we won the Champions League with him providing the assist for the winner in the final and scoring in both the quarters and semis. He played well in the first 2 games for England then had to go into isolation for 10 days because of some barmy pen pushing bureaucratic wankers at PHE. Didn't look the same player after that period of isolation but you can hardly criticise him for that.
I was waiting for a Chelsea fan to pipe up saying something of that ilk, I've got two or three good mates that are Chelsea fans and rave about him all the time so I've tried watching him closely several times and I just don't see it. He's fine but that's about it, to be honest I found it hilarious that he won your player of the year last season. He had good moments but that's about it. And no, he most definitely did not play well in the first 2 games of the Euros, pretty poor against Croatia and better against Scotland but still not good - no criticism for being poor after isolation as he should never have been thrown back into the team. He's not a bad player but there are just much better players in his position. He's decent at winning the ball high up the pitch which is why Southgate loves him and can take a good set piece but I see Chelsea improving on him in the not too distant future.
This list is pretty good. Not sure if Thiago had expectations - he’s behind Pedri for good reason these days. Bruno deservedly got some pelters, but I thought Dias was just as bad — if not worse considering he never actually got dropped.
It must be so confusing to you that the people who have watched all his games recognise he's a fantastic player. They're all wrong clearly and you are spot on. He's just Lampard's, Tuchel's and Southgate's son.
And immediately to the snarky comments, "proper Chels" you aren't you. I've not once said I'm right at all & everyone else is wrong, I am saying I simply don't see it with him. I never have. Three United managers loved Fellaini for fecks sake.
Last year I'd engage with people about whether Mount was 'all that'. After the season he's had I just won't take an opinion like yours seriously.
No he didn't, absolutely no one for England played well in that Scotland game. Mount did nothing to warrant his continued place in the England side and this is coming from someone who did think he should be in the team before the tournament started before you reply that I'm just a 'hater'
Why are you even bothering to try and make out like you are in any way neutral over anything to do with Chelsea? You are a troll and regularly come up with stuff like this:
This is about as dumb as a comment I've seen on this forum.
Great list.
