[Football] England squad announcement - Lewis Dunk RECALLED!

[Bakero]

I'm watching this round my mate's house in Brazil. Portuguese commentary. England look decent. Top of the group. Maguire annoyingly solid. Maddison is no striker but also no stinker. I have read through some of the posts above and honestly it's like reading Potty, JCFG and wokewanka giving their views on the Corbyn/Starmer government.

Get a f***ing grip, some of you. FFS!

I know what you mean and agree that some of the criticism is OTT. However, this is a bit rubbish, isn't it?

Do we really need Henderson in there along with Rice?

 

[pb21]

How's Slabhead doing? Presumably quite well for him as only conceded the one?

 

[Couldn't Be Hyypia]

Henderson reminds me of Dale Stevens

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

I get your point but I can’t quite see where any of the midfield are playing, incl Rice

Which is the problem, why would you have Maddison/Bellingham tracking back?

Have Henderson and Rice, its negative rubbish

I tend to agree here.

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

Henderson stays on

FML

It’s quite a come down from watching Brighton. Dublin summed it up when he said England were just relying on individual brilliance. A kind way of saying they aren’t being coached, although he wouldn’t have noticed that implication. I’m not watching the 2nd half. Not even bothered if Dunk comes on.

Do we simply have to accept that the level of tactical coaching to compete at the top club level (which we now have the pleasure of watching on a weekly basis) requires hours each day for weeks on end to achieve.

Something national coaches will not be able to achieve. And sticking 11 of 'your best' out there is all any national coach can do

Any money Phillips will be on soon 🫠

To add creativity

Watching England is a painful experience after watching a team coached by RDZ.

He has been in the role since 2016 and coached some of these players with the U21s before hand, that is more than enough time to put in place a plan rather anti football.

We also have the players that when unshackled show every week they are at a very high level.

Other managers of top nations manager to put a style in play, or at least move away from the same tactics

I think it'd just be nice to have an identity. Or to be a bit surprised by selections.

Overall though I think you're probably right. You stick your best 11 out and hope for the best. But the best 11 have to have played at least 90 minutes of club football in the last decade.

It's a hard watch. It's like watching Palace, dinosaur tactics.

FFS Southgate you could achieve a lump dick after 5 blue pills.

Only just switched it on in protest. I wouldn't be dissapointed to see a Ukraine winner.
Dunk and Colwill proved to be a tried and tested partnership yet dull arse sticks with slab head and some fella from the caravan club.

You have to have a system as well though. Southgate has no ideas.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

Rashford really

Maguire has played more minutes for England this season than he has for Man Utd.

 

[Weststander]

Rashford really

Disgusting. Barely touched, yet feigns severe pain.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Ridiculous yellow card given to Slabby

 

[WhingForPresident]

Utterly, utterly dreadful football. Slow, dull play with no creativity. Whoever is watching this shit at the FA and coming to the conclusion they're happy with it needs their head checked.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

WTF Maguire grabbed his knees after sliding the keeper.
