England Senior National Team General Discussion Thread

I assume it'll be Quansah but I'd kind of prefer it to be Gomez.

 

The gameplan appears to be to out Emery Aston Villa. Sit deep and don't try to hold possession or push up, looking for opportunities on the break. It's making for a really boring game so far.

 

He's play 102 minutes this season.

 

Harwood-Bellis maybe? Already in the U21s

 

Branthwaite? Unless he's still injured

 

Think I’d rather see Tomori given another opportunity but wouldn’t grumble with Gomez or Kilman. I just don’t see the need to make the U21’s weaker for these games by promoting them when we already have good senior options to select from.

 

Yes forgot about tomori.

 

Hes got a small injury

 

Gomez doesn’t fit what seems to be Carsley’s idea that players should be playing regularly to get a call up. A promoted player from U21’s due to logistical reasons are more likely to be exempted from that.

 

And playing more than Quansah.

 

Anyway Dunk is still playing regularly and knows this squad well. He could be recalled.

 

If they get called up today before they meet up tomorrow then I don’t think it’s a problem.

 

On the BBC Radio commentary just now the commentator implied Carsley was going to call up Branfhwaite but then he got injured mid week.

 

Madueke scores

 

I don't think its a bad injury but he didn't play for Everton in the last game so I doubt he'll play for England.

 

It'd be preferable if Carsley just played Colwill in his actual position and called up a left-back.

 

It was another palmer assist too

 

In which case he would just promote Hall or Hinshelwood or bring back Livramento. I doubt he would call up Mitchell or Davis

 

Webster, Dunk, Hinshelwood and Welbeck start for Brighton. Steele is on the bench.
Maddison and Solanke start for Spurs. Forster, Spence, Gray, Moore and Lankshear are on the bench.

Kane starts for Bayern. Dier on the bench.

 

Madueke and Palmer are a good combo.

 

I wonder when Spurs are going to start Gray in th PL.

 

Gibbs-white down injured

 

If he's out I'd like to see maddison brought in

 

If it’s only Konsa and Gibbs - White withdrawing they might not need to be any replacements but any more than they will have to be or it’s not a full bench which looks awful.

 

Hinshelwood isn't a full-back and Livramento is a right-back. I don't even care who it is at this point, I just want a left footed left-back in the squad for some balance. Not that I think we're gonna see it any time soon.
