[Football] England squad announcement - Lewis Dunk RECALLED!
- Thread starter happypig
- Start date
Phase them in like I said. But you can’t put Dunk & Maguire in and the rest are also inexperienced.
I’d like to have seen Stones & Dunk perhaps

On the BBC text the line up has 162 thumbs up with 2185 thumbs down. It’s not popular with fans in general.
I disagree, he would be great at managing a tea party or a library.
Because he doesn't seem to be very good at his job. We got to one final and one semi, which isn't bad, but then we have a very good squad of players, so it's not particularly impressive.
His greatest achievement is getting the players to be a team, rather than opponents from various PL sides. But he hasn't demonstrated much tactical ability. He achieved nothing of note before becoming England manager.
And he says he'll pick players based on form, and then goes ahead and picks players who have zero form, on account of never being picked for their club team.
If England win a major trophy, then he'll have been successful. If they don't, then he won't have. Being among the best losers doesn't represent success for a country so brimming with talent.

They lost to Liverpool and Man City, not Luton and Sheff utd. The premier league is the highest pressure league in the world.
Maguire (btw, I feel sorry for him) hasn’t earned his spot, he’s got it because Southgate hasn’t the balls to try another combination. That is not how you win things, that’s going into a game trying not to lose. He has the players, he just needs to use them. Against Italy we went ahead and a second goal would have finished them off, in stead he went ultra cautious, we eventually conceded and then had no real chance of getting another. He then screwed the substitutions up which effectively threw the penalty takers under the bus.
if Maguire screws up today he will be destroyed by the press, he’s in a no win situation.

Right. So phase Dunk in by starting him ahead of someone who cannot get into the pitch at United.

I wouldn’t trust him to manage a tea party. He’d only pick his favourite spam sandwiches & jam sponge cake.
Go back to my original point about experience

And they'd be dry, tasteless and unimaginative.
And if we win its job done, no dramas.
And ‘experiment’ against Scotland on Tuesday

How do you get experience if you can't get into the pitch?
If you want to fawn over uninspired selections then go for it. But he's got it wrong. And so do you.

That’s the point though isn’t it. Stones and Dunk would work, as would stones and GuehI. The issue here is Maguire, he should be sat in front of the TV watching the game, not playing in it. If he started week in, week out then I could understand it but he isn’t.

OK, Maguire has more experience of warming the bench.

And if he doesn’t and Maguire is at fault. He’s basically thrown one of his players under a bus.
As for an experiment against Scotland, it won’t matter how well the two CB play they know he won’t pick them, because he’s too scared too.
I hope we get f***ing stuffed the useless talentless c@@t .
A f***ing bench warmer and a Palace wanker
And if Dunk gets thrown into a qualified and we lose because of a mistake from him, his career is done and Southgate gets criticised for lack of experience.
Come back to me at 6.45
A helped the national team and coach win f*** all.

How will you know if he comes on if you're not watching?
