[Football] England squad announcement - Lewis Dunk RECALLED!

[Mellotron]

Noises from those “in the know” are that he will be IN today.

The Man City players are being rested so no Stones or Walker helps him a bit potentially. Shame, as I’d love to see him and Stones as a partnership.

 

[Cowfold Seagull]

No, no he won't

But against all logic, and all football common sense

Harry Maguire will be

Yep Slap Head is nailed on to start l'd say. The fact that he has been only a bit part player for Manure all season is a meaningless detail for Palacegate . . . l mean Southgate.

Hope Dunky tells him to shove it up his ass after the previous snubs for complete donkeys.

I was Team Yes yesterday, but this morning I've seen the comments made by RDZ that Dunky might start tonight on the bench as he's been playing with injuries...that might balls up his England recall.

Dunky starting on the bench? who on earth is going to partener Colwill in central defence then? RDZ has already said that Webster will only be half fit for tonight.

I like Van Hecke, but he and Colwill will be torn apart byHaaland and his mates.

Not convinced Haaland will start tonight.

Man City have two mammoth games upcoming, they will rotate a few tonight.

I’m not saying they won’t take it seriously at all, but Ake was on 5live yesterday and basically said “we have two games left this season” and he was referring to the two finals.

 

[SeagullinExile]

Coady won’t be in and Dier and Maguire have not been playing regularly.

Stones and Walker apparently not being picked due to City commitments. On that basis, Lewis should be in.

In the article they say that Dunky 'could begin on the bench against champions Manchester City tonight due to ongoing calf, back and neck issues.

“He’s playing with a lot of problems because he has calf and back problems but he is playing every game,” De Zerbi said ahead of the clash with Pep Guardiola’s champions. “Tomorrow he can start on the bench but I don’t know because if he can play with me in Brighton, he has to play always.”'

Hmmm Citeh scare me, even when they aren't taking it seriously.

 

[Carlos BC]

Why do the percentages in the poll add up to more than 100% ? This is most irregular

Oh l'm sure that Gareth can find some obscure Palarce reserve that he rates higher then Dunky.

He is pretending to be injured, prioritising Brighton over England. Once he isn't picked, he will be back at full strength.

 

[pasty]

On the basis that he is only getting selected because others are being rested, he should tell the waistcoat to stick his call up where the sun don’t shine.

 

[southstandandy]

I think he will this time, but just have a sneaking feeling his calf issues may mean he has to withdraw. (Playing with calf problems as mentioned by the Argus)

 

[Hamilton]

He simply has to be.

 

[Mellotron]

Hmmm Citeh scare me, even when they aren't taking it seriously.

Oh totally get that.

I think we'll lose something like 2-0 but should be an intriguing game tactically.

Yes l'm really looking forward to it, I'll be a bit calmer now that the pressure is off us somewhat.

I know in his prematch comments that RDZ would be going all out to win the game, but l wonder how far we will actually push for the result, now that Europe has been achieved.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Oh I've royally ballsed this up. you can select yes and no.
I'm going up me shed...

Exactly my thoughts haha! I think it is in the balance.

 

[NorthstandRacoon]

Where was this said?

I would like to know too.

 

[bhafc99]

I think he probably will this time.

As others have said, so much media chatter about it, no smoke without fire etc.

Doesn't really make up for the years he's been ignored for Maguire etc, but hey, pleased for Dunky nonetheless.
