The England Thread

[spursville]

I don’t think Southgate will do that. One reason the press looks good is because of the energy Gallagher brings. You then sacrifice a bit of central creativity for that. If you had Foden and Bellingham central with only Rice I think they would be exposing out fairly weak defense much more

In which case you improve the defence by not picking Maguire and actually picking a reserve right back in the squad.

we don’t have strong enough defenders to not get torn to shreds by tricky front 3’s. Foden Rice Bellingham is probably fine against most teams but not Brazil/France imo

Chilwell used to be good, those injuries have affected him.

Surgeon swapped his left peg for an Edam ball by the looks if it

 

[Fredo]

Said it years back and will say again, until England change the manager they will win nothing

 

[Timbo Tottenham]

I'd watch Bellingham play all day.

Ridiculous talent

I’d love him to come to the prem.

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Paqueta is a class player but he's lost the plot a bit today. Esp for a friendly.

Would love to sign him. Imagine the upset.

Which manager wins us the Euros or World Cup?

I was literally just thinking that our very own Ange would have a fine crack at it. Given the style of play and players he'd have to choose from?

Klopp probably could

 

[longtimespur]

I can't understand how there's still 11 Brazilians on the pitch. Paqueta especially!!

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Klopp also.

I know he won't, but it's still worth a look at. Gallagher has been great in the press, but quite average on the ball.

Meanwhile Foden is trying to come infield and there is no out ball on the right.

Gordon looking like a great shout for the left though. He's growing in to the game.

 

[Blake Griffin]

i'm sorry but gallagher is shite.

 

[dontcallme]

Klopp probably could

Surely he wouldn't want to manager England.

 

[McFlash]

Another Southgate snoozefest?

I don't know, I was quite enjoying the first half but I've now given up the telly and Xbox team my daughter, she she can play with her mates.

There had been some half decent chances for both sides and I wouldn't say it was a boring game, just maybe a bit scrappy.

And Maguire is shit.

 

[spursville]

WTF is Gallagher doing?

 

[TheHoddleWaddle]

Foden is wasted here. Is he playing cm? Or a hybrid ? Can't work out his position.

 

[ItsBoris]

i'm sorry but gallagher is shite.

He’s definitely not, most Chelsea games I’ve seen he looks good.
That said would like to see Mainoo now

i don't understand what you see in him, all effort and zero quality. total headless chicken of a player.

Please just get Chillwell off ffs. Seen enough
