England Senior National Team General Discussion Thread

I can’t imagine he will give too much details.. He’s probably just say that’s it’s new management and that he spoke to players who know Tuchel from Cheslea or Bayern so he feels he can now return.

 

Agreed but if it’s correct about what was initially reported the fallout was about with Steve Holland, his team might not want it coming out due to it being embarrassing and such a petty issue to get upset about that normal folk like us will equally find it ridiculous and won’t probably reflect well on White and his personality.

 

A lot of the opinion writers are supporting his return anyway so if it did come out it was something petty they would be plenty of articles saying Holland was the one in the wrong etc.

 

He's made his bed. He can buck off

 

I guess it depends on what was actually said but if it’s true that all Holland said was ‘ your not really interested in football ‘, then I’m not sure how the press can turn that into some kind of vendetta against Holland when every Tom, Dick and Harry would know it’s not much of an offence to quit playing for your Country unless you’re extremely petty and considering it’s what has always been reported about White not being that interested in football other than his job then it’s seems pretty accurate.

 

Dier gets a start for Bayern in the Bundesliga.

 

Rice, Lewis-Skelly and Saka start for Arsenal. Nwaneri and Sterling are on the bench.
Pickford, Tarkowski, Young, Branthwaite, Calvert-Lewin and Harrison start for Everton. Keane and Armstrong are on the bench.

Gomez, Alexander-Arnold and Jones start for Liverpool. Quansah, Elliott, Morton and Nyoni are on the bench.
No English starters for Fulham. King, Sessegnon, Smith Rowe and Godo are on the bench.

Justin, Coady, Mavididi, Choudhury, Skipp and Vardy start for Leicester. Thomas and Cartwright are on the bench.

Johnstone starts for Wolves. Bentley, Dawson and Doyle are on the bench.
H Clarke, Davis, Chaplin, Hutchinson and Delap start for Ipswich. Walton, Woolfenden, Johnson, Townsend, Phillips and J Clarke are on the bench.

 

Anderson, Gibbs-White, Yates and Hudson-Odoi start for Nottigham Forest. Toffolo and Ward-Prowse are on the bench.
Konsa, Mings and Rogers start for Aston Villa. Barkley and Watkins on the bench.

 

I think the best thing to do with the June window is to play the Andorra match and tell the players go on holiday straight after.

No point in the second game

 

The FA won’t want to miss out on an opportunity to make some extra money.

 

Right

 

Bellingham scores again, seems to be another purple patch he’s on.

 

‘Jude Bellingham is the first player to score in six successive Real La Liga matches since Karim Benzema in January-February 2016 (run of six).’

 

Looks like it will be Sir Gareth Southgate very shortly.

 

Announced i think at 10.30pm on Friday 27th (It’s normally the last Friday before new Year and always 10.30.)

 

Lewis Hall had a good game againest Liecester.

 

Leaked Manchester United lineup posted by Samuel Luckhurst of the MEN for tomorrow suggest Maguire and Mount will be the only two English starters with Mainoo and Rashford on the bench.

Interesting article about why it should be White asking to come back not the other way.

 

Man of the match display, has been great all season. With Englands lack of left back options I can see him cementing his place there. Still so young too.

 

How would he get on if Tuchel goes for a back five instead of the more likely (based on talent pool) back four.

 

We have been quite lucky with the quality of our leftbacks overs the years. Hopefully Hall can carry that on.

 

Illness, injuries and off-field challenges – why Phil Foden is struggling at Manchester City

https://www.msn.com/en-ie/sports/fo...-is-struggling-at-manchester-city/ar-AA1vPJf9

Interesting it says he failed to build a rapport with Jude Bellingham - wonder if that was both on and off the pitch.

 

Dunk starts for Brighton. Steele is on the bench.
Henderson, Mitchell, Guehi, Chalobah, Eze and Hughes start for Crystal Palace. Clyne, Kporha, Agbinone and Nketiah are on the bench,

 

Walker and Foden starts for Manchester City. Stones, Simpson-Pusey, Grealish, Mubama, O’Reilly and McAtee are on the bench.
Maguire and Mount start for Manchester United. Mainoo on the bench.

Rashford left out entirely. Obviously Mainoo is still regaining fitness but might also be a sign he is not seen as important by Amorim as he was by Ten Hag.
