Great news. With Harry retaining his spot in the team I am positively ecstatic at the likelihood of him having to deal with the pace and movement of the Welsh forward line in Qater. I was concerned Gareth might choose a mobile player with some awareness of the game around him but Southgate has come up trumps with his secret Welsh agenda.
Internationals September (Nations League + Friendlies) | England RELEGATED
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Shaw as left wing?
Wing back.
5 defenders with an out of form Raheem Sterling. Joy upon joy. This squad is wasted with Southgate.
If England get tonked tonight, Southgate will be under a lot of pressure. Some looney on 606 wanted him sacked and replaced by Jordan Henderson
Somebody rang in to Talksport after the Italy game and he mentioned Paul Ince as England manager.
They won’t sack him before the tournament no matter what happens.
You might only lose by 2 goals, not 3.
Is it more or has the level of talent available to the Germans collapsed? I am looking at that team and thinking, feck me, can't see many top players.
England have a real serious lack of midfielders, can’t see them doing much at the World Cup, I’d give JWP some game time at least..
I reckon it was Paul Ince who rang into talksport
Yep. Their brightest talent was raised and trained in England.
They're giving game time to their lesser because they're only playing minnows.
Not sure about defence but the rest look fine.
Southgate is placing a big onus on a confidence shot Maguire and also Stones to bring the ball out from the back because they can’t build up through midfield. The forward line is also not that inspiring, Foden and Sterling are runners and don’t have much flair.
Musiala.
Who is that?
He's put Stones in there, he's an actual CB.
Hoping to see a bit of Toney later
He won't get sacked. No chance till the WC.
It’s a really weird formation and players to play, kinda getting Ole vibes that he doesn’t really know what he’s doing, would definitely start JWP and Grealish, possibly Saka on the right as well.
I’m just being a prick ignore me
Thanks. Googled him, British/German. What a combination. Why not play for England if he is a bright talent?
Think one of his parents is German? Obviously feels more German than British.
Think he just decided he wanted to play for them. Maybe he thought he would more likely get picked for Germany.
How many goals do you boys and girls think England will score today, considering it's been a while?
You need to be more gender neutral these days.
Yes, now I know everything about him. His mom is German, he has her last name. His dad is British/Nigerian. Last name Richard.
Why are England wearing orange
Yep. If losing 4-0 at home to Hungary won't do it nothing will.
See, I give you all a compliment so you can feel younger, and this is what I get!
This kit is horrible.
Thought The Netherlands is playing.
England kit is hurting my eyes. Who thought this is a good color.
Frigging 5 at the back again. What's the point? We are shit with 5 at the back
What even is it? It's like someone has mixed orange, pink, red and some uranium.
It's not only 5 at the back but it's the crap midfield as well that's so defensively minded
Somehow he's managed to pick an even more boring lineup with the inclusion of Shaw as a left wing back and the same drab formation that has yet to provide any decent attacking displays.
Pope looks he is haunted by DDG.
