[Albion] England squad for Nations League

[Seasider78]

Southgate is a clown and exactly the sort of dull yes man the FA wanted at the helm. A failed club manager who somehow secured the national team job shows how far international football has fallen down the football agenda.

Just another comfy appointment who never rocks the boat and picks the same old failures time and time again.

 

[El Turi]

I wonder if England’s refusal to call up Brighton players is due to us taking Ashworth from them.

 

[Pavilionaire]

If Southgit thinks this is his number one priority he should get a job as a manager at Sainsbury, where he can run around checking things haven't passed their sell by date.

Like that jar of Pickford, box of Keane and can of Dier in Aisle 7...

Well that would be rather petty

That is something I postulated yesterday, because it is getting more and more bizarre.

Dunk.. ok, I can’t see any world where he’s worse then Mings, Keane and Dier, but maybe that’s personal choice.

Phillips but no Ben White?

And today this one rocks me most of all, no Lamptey in u21s?

Did Ashworth shag Southgate’s missus?

Obviously that’s a joke, but did they have a falling out?Argus journos, please credit NSC if you run this story.

Did you listen to the Albion Roar on Saturday, the club (Camillin) credited your (NSC) observation on the club shop as the source for the whole Dunk to Chelsea saga. An amusing listen!

“What seeds we sow..........”

 

[The Fits]

Interested to see how Phillips gets on. Leeds swear he was their best player last season, and I watched a fair bit of them because of White. He is very competitive but just doesn't stay on his feet- he's a proper old school destructive midfielder. He'll either be great or sent off every other game IMHO.

Tbf the guy who created the Dunk to Chelsea thread started it really with the rumour. But my observation about Dunky not being in the club shop was definitely picked up by others. Notably by the Argus!

Nah, more likely an ex Palace players personal choice who just happens to be the manager of the second most underachieving team ever......

this in buckets.

Winks and Rashford pull out, Grealish called up.

 

[Swansman]

Winks and Rashford pull out, Grealish called up.

Guess he was considering taking Dale over Grealish before realising Stephens is a Brighton player, deeply sighed and then tapped Grealish phone number.

 

[Icy Gull]

Winks and Rashford pull out, Grealish called up.

Fingers crossed he plays and shines, forcing United to go all out to buy him

 

[Coldeanseagull]

That's it! If waistcoat calls on sockboy, I'm out. Next thing will be a pairing of stones and minge.
I'm deeply disappointed with this

 

[vagabond]

Dier starts as a CB tonight.

So I guess he’s a better central defender then Dunk according to Southgate.

 

[GT49er]

Nice win for Gibraltar in the Nations Cup this afternoon - hope we can do likewise!

 

[Garry Nelson's Left Foot]

Dier in central defence, Trippier at left back. Are there really no left backs beyond Chilwell and Shaw? Who plays for the U-21s? Surely he'd be better than playing a right back. It's only the nations league.

Good to see Foden starting, hope he has a good game.

 

[Guinness Boy]

Dier starts as a CB tonight.

So I guess he’s a better central defender then Dunk according to Southgate.

And Trippier at left back

Possibly the worst back 4 I've seen England pick since.....well........a while at least.

 

[Swansman]

Go Iceland!

 

[peterward]

So I guess he’s a better central defender then Dunk according to Southgate.

And there is no stat, metric, form chart or independent analyst who could justify Pickford starting ahead of Pope.

But Southgate has his pet favourites
