[Albion] Debate: If Trossard was English, would Southgate call him up?

[Stat Brother]

Despite all their obvious ability and greatness, the Albion has been on the receiving of a fair few goals that have cost a fair few points this season due too Mssers White Dunk & Webster (and Ryan).

I guess the same can leveled at the competition for places, (Mings & Maguire - I'm looking at you now) but our boys haven't exactly been so much better, that those outside our bubble are in disbelief at their lack of inclusion.

It does feel like with Sanchez behind them that's about to change.



Whereas The Tross all but vanished after his personal hell v Utd, only now getting his shite back together again.

I can't remember the last time I saw Maddison 'go missing' while the less said about Grealish the better, for fear of being sick in my mouth.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Well I’m an England fan

Enjoy the game tonight.

100%.

**** Southgate and his picking of Dier, Mings, Coady et al. Team Moder all the way.

Oh.

 

[vagabond]

No, because he plays for Brighton.

Give him a multi-million pound move somewhere and Gareth might call him up.

Boom. It’s so obvious isn’t it?

If Dunk went to Chelsea in the summer, I’d bet serious coin he’d be in the England squad. We all know that.

Enjoy the game tonight.



Oh.

Yes it’s called a joke old boy. Lighten up.

Here’s what I said directly below the post you quoted:

I think the problem is there’s no danger or challenge of us not qualifying. Gets increasingly hard to get psyched up for another Southgate qualification game.

Come tournament time it’s quite different.

 

[Icy Gull]

Not a chance, the guy is a clown

If you can watch our game and you choose not to you're not an England fan. Old boy.

 

[studio150]

More chance of Southgate dropping Maguire than selecting any Brighton player

 

[vagabond]

I am watching our game.

Please leave me alone. You are actually bothering me and ruin things here. I wish I could ignore you. Bozza please stop this “mod” from trolling people.

 

[Hampster Gull]

No, plays for Brighton


And there are better players than him

 

[Seasidesage]

Trossard is a good, even decent player in very good form but he's nowhere near getting in an England squad in his position. That is an area we are very well stocked. Defenders and someone who can get a tune out of what we have is a very different matter. The Creepy muppet never will....

 

[Easy 10]

Trossard is nowhere near consistent enough, never has been. That's why he's at "a club like Brighton".

 

[Justice]

Why is this even a discussion he’s done not a lot for much of the season, decides to turn up when Belgium qualifiers are around the corner maybe I’m to sceptical, bashes on about stepping stone Brighton which annoys me when he can’t be arsed half the time, and then scores a couple against a pub team for Belgium

 

[Super Steve Earle]

Suggest you read the match threads....... and ratings.... Do you think he’d start in front of his England competitors then?

Still if I recall pot and kettle around a certain thread you started?

Not really pot and kettle. He is my Macbeth or Voldemort who should not be mentioned

Is the correct answer all day long and one wonders why the question was asked when we all knew the answer.

Yet he’s good enough for the number 1 ranked team in the world? Surely there’s a disconnect there.

So more posters can be flushed out as being 'Anti Albion'.



Otherwise known as rational and realistic.

 

[Reddleman]

I love Trossard but he’s not better than Grealish, Mount, Foden or Maddison.

And obviously he’s mikes behind Rashford, Sterling or Sancho.

So no he wouldn’t and rightly so.

Excellent - I was the same with Bruno and Stephens to a lesser extent

I doubt Trossard will go to the Euros

 

[Shooting Star]

Yes, but do you believe they have greater strength in depth in the position Trossard plays than England?

They have a good starting 11, but I don’t believe Trossard normally start in that (apologies if this is incorrect).

100% agree - this is the crux of it. Belgium possibly have a better starting XI but don't have the strength in depth England do.

I know I'm in the minority on here, but after World Cup 2018 I've got a huge amount of time for Gareth Southgate. I'm just as frustrated that Dunk hasn't made it into the England team permanently, but I don't believe Southgate has an agenda against us. He called Dunk up once - who knows what happened during that spell? Perhaps Dunk didn't impress him the way we'd hope? Or perhaps it's just that he and Albion have stagnated in terms of progress (despite the improvement in playing style)? I love Dunky but I personally don't believe Dunk is any better than he was two years ago - or put it another way, he doesn't catch the eye any more than he did under CH.

For those who think White may have got a call up for the squad if he had been playing for Leeds this year - possibly, yes, but then again Leeds are comfortably mid-table and White, as a utility player, hasn't particularly been getting 8s on the player ratings thread every week, has he? I'm not sure many would really mourn him being transferred over the summer either. We are 16th. When Southgate chose this team, we were flirting with 18th. The only player out there tonight even close to our league position is Pope for Burnley. The rest are in teams comfortably mid-table or higher. Despite fits and starts, we've been a 16th place sort of team for 4 years now.
