Very uninspiring, three plodders.
England squad (Games against Bulgaria and Kosovo)
- Thread starter Sean_RedDevil
- Start date
Yep! As United fans, we know what we're talking about when it comes to rubbish midfields, but at least United have a Pogba! Hopefully Maddison comes on soon.
Would love to see him come on. Would be better with Sancho as well.
------------------Kane (200m)
Sterling (150m)--Maddison (90m)--Sancho (120m)
------------Winks (50m)----Rice (50m)
Shaw/Chilwell (30m)--Maguire (80m)--Gomez (50m)--TAA (75m)
That squad would cost about 900m, and still I'm not sure it would land the League title.
Rice is rubbish.
Decent enough by England. Not sure I would have went with the midfield Gareth have gone with, especially against a team that are looking to sit deep.
Barkley is fine, and is the only one trying to play those defence splittling passes. Rice and Henderson, on the other hand, have been quite safe. As highlighted, Rice could have put Sterling in a few times.
I'd have put Wink and Maddison in, but we're winning which is the main thing.

Marcus gets England a penalty.
Nice from Rashy
Kane to take. Scores 2-0.
Well done Rashford.
Give the people what they want. Get Mount on.
The best 3 attackers for England are Sterling/Kane/Sancho. Would you disagree? So unless you are going to say they don't need to play their strongest 11, I wouldn't play Rashford ahead of Sancho.
I wouldn't necessarily say that was controversial, to me that was him doing his job and using a youth policy he was undoubtedly hired for.
some short memories.. he sacked off a load of established England players when he was appointed.
When I say he is not controversial I was really meaning with his personal life, answers to questions, relationship with the media, players etc.
In the sense that Allardyce caused controversy and embarrassment to the FA. The way Mourinho was at United where he was offending the media/players etc.
Southgate will never be that kind of man.

Laughable penalty..Is there no VAR for the qualifiers?! Shameful desicion by the referee..
That is Rashford used in a way which suits his qualities. Not being on the ball but sprinting after a deep ball and making use of his speed. That is what he is good at.. long shots, dribbeling and hold up play isnt something he is (very) good at.
It depends what the manager wants from the forwards. Rashford just won a penalty.
Good run by Kane, finished by Sterling. 3-0.
Not pissing anyone off that Keane is England CB today? Sold him for peanuts. Could easily be a part of this squad if not a starter
you spelt Maddison wrong
Yes. He is looking pretty sharp and doing what he is best at. Running at pace at defenders.
3-0.
Harry Kane is a great player wish we had him, totally wasted at Spurs...
Wtf? 100% penalty. So defenders can just jump into tackles not get the ball and it's OK?
3-0, make some subs now.
You what????
What's the point of this midfield?
Rashy is having a great game.
Rashford playing well.
I'd like to see Sancho brought on, don't watch much bundesliga so it's a good chance to see him play.

Rashford will improve well if we had someone like Zlatan leading the line. Shame we have no one of such presence.
someone tell Trippier to stop going into CM and provide some bloody width
Mount is going to come on.
Nobody is interesting in that chavvy old fecker.
England team is better than the United team and he is also playing on the left so no surprise Rashford looks better.
Henderson off for Mount.
From what I have seen Rice is not any better than McTominay. Mount on as sub for the average Henderson. Would have liked to see Maddison given a run but maybe in the Kosovan game.
Rashford on the right now. Hopefully we see that happening more at United with him and James swapping.
Sterling going to come off for Sancho.
Caf's favorite player coming on.
I haven't seen Rice much for W Ham.. So don't know but wouldn't be surprised if you are right.
Sancho coming on!
Are you suggesting he is overrated by the caf? Or is this a genuine observation?
