England Senior National Team General Discussion Thread

Everton out Newcastling Newcastle.

 

Ashley Young eldest son is only three months younger than Miley.

 

Bowen scores for West Ham. He is good at getting away goals this season.

 

We've got a potential England back 5 between Newcastle and Everton. Pickford tarkowski Braithwaite Livramento and Trippier

 

McNeil?

 

Huge win for Everton.

 

Braithwaite could be something special.

 

Spurs have an English player on the Pitch now as Skipp has come on.

 

2 English goal scorers for West ham.

 

4 - Lewis Miley is the sixth youngest player in Premier League history to start four consecutive games, after Cesc Fàbregas, Luke Shaw, Wayne Rooney, Nigel Quashie and Gareth Barry. Faith. pic.twitter.com/VcMqPzh5Yw

Ward- Prowse has scored.

 

Gareth Barry had such a long career.

 

You could say that. Played 653 times during a 22-year career. The most for any player in Premier League history.

 

I do think ward prowse is very hard done by at this point to be behind Henderson. He has his flaws and he’s not the answer really to completing the England midfiield but then neither is Henderson or I would say Phillips at this point.

His defensive stats are much better than Hendersons were last season and he’s a much bigger goal threat. Neither are really the greatest at retaining or progressing the ball which is of course the big limitation for England. But an extra year in Henderson legs in a weak league, coupled with ward prowse showing he can compete against good teams it’s increasingly hard to justify.

 

The amount of bang average foreign players in this Spurs vs west ham match is unreal.

 

How you can't find a spot for one English player in your starting Xl like Spurs is beyond me. There's no excuse.

 

James Milner now 19 games behind him.

 

Jarrad Branthwaite’s game by numbers vs. Newcastle:

100% tackles won
77% pass accuracy
48 touches
27/35 passes completed
7 clearances
6/6 aerial duels won
3 ball recoveries
2/2 ground duels won

Superb defensive performance. 🦾 pic.twitter.com/XFAfgQ4OQ5

And by all accounts he is a good leader type as well.

 

To be fair Maddison would be there but for his injury,

I think it will increase a bit as Spurs are being linked to some English players,

 

Hes an old Fashioned type of defender thats also fast as ******** and can pass.

 

If they can deduct Everton 10 points for financial irregularities, then they should do the same for teams like Spurs who effectively cripple the England national team.

 

It’s a turn arround from the 2018 World Cup when Spurs had four players in the squad.

 

Daniel Levy refusing to sell Kane to another English club,getting Maddison on the cheap from Leicester and then buying from international bargain bin.

 

Looks like he heard me.
