England Senior Team General Discussion Thread

If Calvert-Lewin could start adding consistent goals to his game he'd be among the names, he's a real handful when he's on his game.

 

If rashford keeps playing like this, our front line options are going to be phenomenal. Hope odoi can find his form again otherwise I would have grealish as the option out on the left

 

Shouldn’t have stayed at villa unfortunately

 

On another note, the fact Foden still can't get a look in for City even though the title race is clearly over and they're under little pressure now in the league doesn't bode well.

 

Grealish should have joined spurs

 

Stones looks like hes too injury prone now. Wouldn't risk him at the euros. I would rather have tomori and gomez or even walker in a back three

 

Don't think it would have made a difference, or at least is shouldn't do considering Mount got a call up in the championship.

Yeah every one seems to think its inevitable he takes over from D Silva next season, but it doesn't look like Pep fully trusts him. Its remarkable when you consider that Tottenham goal last season went a long way to them becoming PL champions. He has never let him down.

 

Bissaka is having a phenomenal game. Why do all our outstanding fullbacks play right back. Bissaka, trent, walker, trippier, james, of course chilwell is a top left back but theres no real backup to him

 

I thought Shaw did well for the most part.

 

There's not much between Rose and Shaw in my opinion. However, Shaw is 5 years younger and it makes sense to bring him back into the fold (if he can stay fit.)

 

What do people think of AWB as a CB,he has incredible defensive instincts and a decent passer for a CB

 

Hard to believe hes only 21. Bissaka is going to be a phenomenal fullback in a few years. Just a shame we have so many options in that position

 

Speaking of CB's, what is the status on Lovren's injury? Is it going to keep him out for an extended period or was it just a knock/precautionary? If so then with Matip still out and Fabinho out Klopp surely has no choice but to start Gomez

 

More worrying , how long is stones going to be out for...again

 

Being brutally honest, I don't think it's worrying. Stones is lauded by many on here but I've given up on him now, consistently underwhelms, makes mistakes and lacks discipline when defending and then just gets injured constantly. I'd personally use Mings as a stopgap and then try and groom Tomori, Gomez or even White as the long term solution for that role.

 

Stones is excellent at bringing the ball out of defence, his passing today was excellent, especially his long balls. Defensively , I agree hes found wanting at times, wish he would concentrate at defending more if he did he would be top class, luckily I think gomez and tomori are better than him

 

Yeah I think Stones is more important than people sometimes acknowledge, with our limitations in midfield.

 

Also he is not gaining any advantages with working Guardiola at the moment, City is a club in crisis now and this season the defence is a mess there. Not just Stones, every one of them.

 

And I think defending and keeping the ball out of our net is more important than some people acknowledge.

 

Interesting today to see maddison go up against grealish. Who comes out on top

 

I read some rumours about Sancho was linked with Man utd, and few days later he was linked with Liverpool. Do you think he should come back to play in the EPL? and what's team is suited for him?

 

I'm completely with the idea of re-calling Alli to the English NT again. He has been improving again and come back to his best recently, especially after Mourinho arrived. He scores, assest and makes a big role for spurs on the pitch. he's convincing me tbh
I'm still a fan for most of the English options that played the WORLD CUP in Russia, also for the English tactics and way of playing too in that tournament under Southgate more the current many rotations that he makes

 

This post reminds of me of the super Vardy, he must come back playing for England, he proves himself as the most English dangerous striker this season easily.

 

No I don't . I think he will either stay at Dortmund or go somewhere else abroad

 

Nobody does fail to acknowledge that though.
