England Senior National Team General Discussion Thread

Bellingham scores once again.

 

Bellingham and Madrid had been poor so far in the game but it was a lovely goal from him.

JUDE BELLINGHAM SCORES! 🤩 https://t.co/TScl0KNmuW

Fair to say that Betis are on a ten game unbeaten run and are hard to play against.

 

Rashford on now for Man United.

 

Finished 1-1.

 

It’s kind of sad/frustrating that despite producing elite individual campaigns and being in the top 3 players in Europe, both Kane and Bellingham could end the season without a league title.

 

It’s not impossible (But of course very unlikely ) the Euro squad has no league winners in it if Liverpool or Villa win the league and Trent/Watkins or Konsa is not selected.

 

Trent would have to get injuried not to be in the squad.

 

Christ I've just seen the Man utd vs Bournemouth. lol

 

Probably but has been debated a lot.

I feel like the higher Villa are on the final PL season table the more likely Watkins is selected. Konsa is also having a very good season.

 

Roy Hodgson on Crystal Palace injuries: "Odsonne Edouard we don't know, it's a knee injury. Calf injury for Sam Johnstone. Hamstring for Jefferson Lerma. Jordan Ayew is suspended and I doubt [Eberechi] Eze or Tyrick Mitchell will be fit." #CPFC

We are absolutely on fire at the moment. Cook and Solanke playing well.

Man, Luton, Forest and Fulham to come. We can win all 3 and be easily top 10.

 

Solanke might be an outside for the Euros.

 

Gonna be a big battle between him, Watkins and Wilson.

Aston Villa fans have the most social media fans calling for England call ups of any PL club - even more than Newcastle and West Ham who are the next two most coming I see calling for call ups on Twitter.

 

where was Dean Henderson for Palace, expected to see him come on but it was Matthews

 

Still recovering after he got injured in the League cup on the 26th September. Last reports was due back before the end of the 2023.

 

He really creative, but seems to lack defensive presence. If we were going to trial a lightweight midfielder I would have preferred him to Trent. And he is also an option off the bench.

 

I like Solanke more than Watkins personally.

 

Ivan Toney says 'hi'.

 

Great goal by James Mcatee for Sheffield utd

 

He has a bit of everything. Hopefully the goals don't dry up between now and the euros. Toneys still in with a shout as well.

 

Gary Neville and Roy Keane rate Gallagher’s chances in England squad:

I forgot about him. Hard to tell how he will do after so long out.

 

Keane is a cnut

 

I watched their other video this week, the main longer one that came out first and saw Carragher yet again had a sly dig at England. They were asking about sacrifices they all had to make in their careers and he spoke about an operation he had that made him miss the World Cup. But then he went on to say he didn’t care about playing for England anyway so it wasn’t that big a sacrifice for him after all. Really Jamie, why don’t you say it a bit more and a bit louder, I don’t think people heard you the first three million times you said it.

At the end of the day, he’s just bitter that he wasn’t good enough to get into the team, nor was he a superstar that people paid their entry fee to watch, so has to gain popularity and status by making controversial statements in front of a camera. It’s no coincidence that the likes of Gerrard and Trent do enjoy and/or speak highly of England, players from Liverpool who are/were good enough to let their football do the talking.

 

Why did he come back in 2010. He clearly didn’t find playing for England that interesting and Gerrard and Johnson that point much have had some concerns about how the camp was going to be under Capello’s ways considering how miserable their all were quite quickly.
