England Senior Team General Discussion Thread

Before the second half wobble, I think anyone else other than Southgate might have made a couple or at least one change at halftime to be honest, as you wouldn’t expect us to throw away a 5-1 lead plus would have just rested a couple of guys that needed it but Southgate who is pretty conservative with his subs was never going to happen.

 

Yeah, he acts like our other options are not good or something which I find odd or he maybe he doesn’t trust them which I would think strange, especially with someone like Winks.

 

He took more than a few off the pitch with his momentum or have you conveniently erased those memories

 

Why do you keep needling?

 

Notice he never mentioned maddison by name

 

It’s a forum .. we are discussing Stuart Pearce ..

What’s your take on forums ?

 

Lewis Cook back from injury, one of the few genuine young natural center midfielders and we know that Southgate likes him. Provided he gets back to full match fitness with no setbacks does anyone envisage him being part of the set-up before June?

 

it's very strange, I don't know if the english journos do it on purpose or are just completely clueless, it was the only single relevant question. We obviously struggled in the middle but they apparently missed that

 

Bold statement at this stage but if Tomori has opportunities this season he'll have a chance to make the squad. He's a very solid and complete defender IMO, impressive in the duels but also good on the ball. Still unknown quantity at this level but I prefer him than Keane or Dunk

 

'The wall' is an ice hockey phrase so I'm guessing he's a yank who doesn't like it being pointed out. At least, that would be my guess.

Onto ignore he goes

 

The ox is in action at 'pool. Be interesting to watch...

 

He’s been very poor so far . Disappointing

 

I don't particularly rate him, personally. Lack of awareness, can't dribble himself out of trouble. I don't know exactly what it is that he would offer. I would try Will Hughes long before him, but then he's not a great runner so he's probably miles off Southgate's radar.

 

Tomori just scored a tremendous goal from 25+ yards out against Wolves.

Now he burst forward from the back and played a lovely ball for Mount to knock the ball inside, the ball breaking free for Tammy Abrahams to knock it into the net. 3 Young English guys combining for the goal.

 

I’ve said about tomori since I saw him live

Can play lcb and is rapid

 

Don't want to sound like a stuck record but I'm sure the Nigerians will be looking at him. I hope Southgate is monitoring him

 

Tammy with another one. Gets across the defender and redirects the ball into the top corner. The defender was pretty static though, tbf, so makes it easy but even so.

 

Get Tammy in the next Squad Gareth please!!

 

Poor Canada.

 

Stones and otamendi awful as a partnership! I don't really think stones is at fault for any of the goals but this was his audition to nail down a spot and the defence is falling apart to arguably the worst team in the league.

He was born in Canada. He's eligible for england Canada and Nigeria
