[Albion] England squad for Nations League

[The Wizard]

Dier

Ironically, DIRE sums up this england intensity and performance pretty well. Talented players held back by a dinosaur manager, standard England really.

 

[Weststander]

If Dier’s in Spuds PL first eleven this season, Mourinho’s fecked.

Seriously, wtf kind of lineup is this?

And ok, potential bias aside, but how the F does Dier start in defence instead of Dunk, Tarkowski? Even Ben White or Webster.

And Phillips. He hasn’t been terrible, but it clearly isn’t aligned with Southgate mantra of needing to play top flight football. And if you ARE going to pick him, then surely Ben White also should have been selected.

And what the hell is Trippier doing on the left?

Perplexing.

 

[El Turi]

It’s been an awful all round performance so far but Phillips in particular has looked hopelessly out of his depth.

 

[Starry]

southgate is woeful, that coverage of their training camp said it all. wasn't a bunch of lads putting in hard graft, looked like 3 there to actually work and the rest on a jolly.

this is individual players on a pitch, not a team.

 

[Doc Lynam]

How can you play Phillips over Grealish in whatever system you are playing!

 

[dazzer6666]

That was awful. Tedious, clueless crap.

Considering the hype, I was expecting a bit more than a taller Liam Bridcutt with a silly haircut.

Was just about to post the same looks very much like Bridcutt where in the championship sitting in front of the back 4 you can look the bollocks but when you step up look a bit shit

kalvin, is/was a solid championship player, nothing more nothing less. bit like ben white, the hype has been ridiculous. neither are amazing, average joes.

 

[vagabond]

And how is Hudson Odoi not in this squad?

Ben White is a superstar now he is back home with a better manager!

 

[BrickTamland]

Equally disappointing as it was predictable.

That would be the Ben White most Leeds fans demanded back and two bids for him from Leeds failed miserably

 

[vagabond]

Anyone else find the whole “Yorkshire Pirlo” title a bit, I don’t know.. stupid?

Pirlo. One of the finest footballers of his generation. Dominated games, incredible ability to keep the ball and thread it through the eye of a needle.

Then you have a twatty Yorkshire chav in a manbun.

 

[allystrat]

We have Dier in midfield so all will be ok.....and if not, we can always bring Rice on.

 

[dwayne]

Philips is unbelievably bad.

Just get Southgate out pleaaaaaase.

England:

1. Pointless fouls all over the pitch. In dangerous positions for Denmark to angle freekicks into giants, or pathetically by Kane and Sterling when the defender has their beating.

2. The undynamic midfield shovelling lofted balls up to tiny Sterling or pacey through balls to oh so slow Kane.

3. Players who are amazing passers for their clubs such as TAA and Sterling, wayward.

i think you mean most on twiiter and not sure 300 deranged teenagers are so representative! i don't really know many actual leeds fans that i've stood with for 30 years who were really that arsed.

good luck to him, i hope he does well. but reading some of stuff here you'd think he's maldini jnr. he isn't.
