England Senior National Team General Discussion Thread

Probably and it will allow his true level to be easily seen and if his likely call-ups for the next year are justified or not.

 

He’s played well in the Europa and Eredivisie hasn’t he? You don’t think that’s a good level?

 

It a decent level but the PL is even tougher.

 

He’s well capable of playing in PL for a couple more years, he hasn’t suddenly become a crap player.

 

And Brazil weren't troubling England prior to Seaman's brain fart. That game could very easily have meandered to extra time and penalties otherwise.

He was an ordinary keeper playing in front of an extraordinary Arsenal back four, and the fact that he also made major blunders in big games in his late 20s/early 30s will forever downgrade him as an England number one for me.

 

No sign of Walker tonight for AC Milan. (Tomori and Loftus-Cheek have started and Abraham is on the bench)

 

Harry kane must have huge regrets about not leaving spurs sooner. He's probably got one more season at bayern then he'll be sold to someone like Newcastle or be sold back to spurs. He could have had a full cabinet of trophies

 

Happy Sunderland are up. Patterson could be another good option next season if he does well. Looks a good shottstopper

Kane should of left Spurs after Pochettino went.

 

He's arguably worse with his feet than Nick Pope! Not sure Patterson is better than the goalie at the other end today, Cooper for Sheffield United.

I've seen Everton fans saying that Pickford has kept them up though. He's been voted their player of the season for the last three campaigns.

Perhaps Everton moving to that new stadium could be a catalyst for Pickford to eventually play in European club competitions and maybe even win a trophy like Palace, Newcastle and Spurs have this season.

Hopefully that is the case and I reckon Carsley would've integrated that young talent. Bit concerned Tuchel will just retain players such as Walker and Henderson focusing only on next year and England might end up regretting not selecting likes of Delap when we had the chance.

Ah but Rover if he had stayed a couple of seasons longer he'd have won the Europa League.

Kane did seem particularly disappointed when Bayern Munich were eliminated at San Siro last month. I think he left Spurs not just to win the Bundesliga but for a realistic chance of a Champions League medal after losing 2019 final. As you said, not sure how many more chances he'll have.

 

Bayern are weighing up a swoop for Crystal Palace's Eberechi Eze after being snubbed by Florian Wirtz. Brighton's Kaoru Mitoma and AC Milan's Rafael Leao are both on their radar but a move for Eze has also been discussed. The 26-year-old's release clause is set to become active again at the end of the season and is understood to be worth £60million (€71.5m) plus £8m (€9.5m) in add-ons.

Have no fear, Jack. Find a club that allows you to operate more centrally and play to your strengths, and I'll wager that you'll make the World Cup squad. We missed that ability to dictate the rhythm of a game at the Euros, and it'll be even more important in the heat of America.

 

He should go abroad

 

Does Grealish dictate the rhythm of a game playing centrally, not something I can remember him doing?

He certainly did under Carsley.

 

He played well against Ireland, I can’t really remember the Finland game (obviously much lower level opposition than you’d face in the PL). Don’t really remember him dictating the rhythm of the game, but I guess that a pretty nebulous concept, he’s not really that type of player for me.
