England Senior National Team General Discussion Thread

Just seen the other footage from Noni and that was embarrassing too. Really immature behaviour.

 

Palmer just said he’s the designated penalty taker so I guess that ends that debate and good for him for standing his ground.

 

Palmer rashford saka Gordon foden Grealish kane toney Watkins Bellingham maddison. I really don't think there's a better set of attacking players in world football.

 

6 of the top 9 scorers in the epl are English

 

It comes from a squad that don’t particularly like one another. Whenever Chelsea score you can tell fhen the majority of players see their teammates as just colleagues and not friends.

Man United has obvious squad tensions as well.

 

🚨 Pochettino: “Palmer is the penalty taker. It won’t happen again, can’t behave like kids again”.

“It’s a shame. I told the players this is the last time I will accept this type of behaviour. This is not a joke”.

“Again, very clear. Cole Palmer is the penalty taker”. pic.twitter.com/cH93tCS5rY

Palmer equal top scorer this season in his first season of playing regularly, madness.

 

Another great weekend for English footballers, Palmer scored 4, Eze scored, Watkins scored, Solanke scored, Gordon was fantastic, Gibbs White also looks a player knocking on the England door and will surely be signed by someone if Forest go down.

Also Rover was right, Wharton looks every bit a PL player and in a position England need options, surely will make a breakthrough into the senior side at some point in the future.

 

Interesting. Seems a bit delusional currently though.

Newcastle are rumoured to be in for MGW.

Palmergeddon for Everton and soon the penalty record books. Cole Palmer 9/9 in @premierleague pens against: Trafford, Raya, Vicario, Ederson, Leno, Muric, Onana x2 and now Pickford this season. Nerveless from the spot, totally unfazed by pressure. One more and Palmer equals…

The Scouse Messi? Please no!

 

How many teams will try to copy the Alonso Leverkusen tactics ?
the 3-4-3 .

 

Whos England place is most under threat from Cole Palmer?

 

Maddison then Grealish.

 

Sancho starts for Dortmund. Bynoe - Gittens is on the bench.

 

Or Bowen

 

I think he might go as cover for Kane. So it could be Toney or Watkins

 

Sancho putting in a similar performance to last week. Again, he's still got far to go to reach his best level but there's no denying there's real promise here. Physically he looks night and day compared to how he did at United and it looks like he's regaining his confidence. Whether he sustains it/continues to improve remains to be seen.

 

It will be interesting to see what happens to him this summer. Can Dortmund afford him? There are still rumours Man United are trying to sell him to Saudi.
