England Senior National Team General Discussion Thread

Guehi goal.

 

I'm sure he's scored for them before hasn't he?

 

That's Kane's 500th career goal too. A total that includes 100 penalties!

 

Yeah think he scored on his debut or certainly one of his first games.

 

Yeah ignore that I misread what you said.

 

Colwill was injury prone before his ACL. I would be very weary of taking him with how common hamstring injuries are during the early stages of returning from an ACL injury.

 

Pretty wild in the Villa - Newcastle game, without VAR the officiating has been dreadful, mostly advantaging Villa even though they had a man sent off.

 

Last round the officiating without VAR was good but from what I’ve read it hasn’t this weekend,

 

How is that not a penalty

 

Ref in the Newcastle game with one of the worst decisions I've seen. There's probably a good chance that VAR has deskilled a lot of refs in real time. You can argue that's inevitable when a lot of refs simply don't give things nowadays in the knowledge they can outsource the final decision to VAR.

 

Wasn't even borderline. He was about 2 yards in the area

 

Lewis hall is class when he's on the ball

Liverpool are the frontrunners in a race with Manchester City and Arsenal to sign Newcastle United’s former Everton winger Anthony Gordon, 24, but the England international will cost £95m. (Caughtoffside), external

What makes you say this, what’s impressed you so much about his performances for Leverkusen?

 

£95m for Gordon

 

He's barely worth 50

 

If CaughtOffside are going to make up a transfer story involving Anthony Gordon, you think the first thing they’d do was come up with a believable price tag!

 

£95m would make Gordon the 13th most expensive transfer of all time.
Although Liverpool seem to have a habit of overpaying for Newcastle players.

 

I haven’t really watched him. I’m just basing it on how Tuchel seems to rate him and strongly praised him in November,

 

He played as makeshift RB, and Tuchel basically capped him out of sympathy because he'd been in so many squads before, and deemed surplus.

You're making a pretty big leap assuming he's going to the world cup if you are basing it solely on some meaningless platitudes.
