[Albion] Solly March, local lad and Premier League star, is f***ing brilliant

[Triggaaar]

why is this brilliant footballer not playing for his Nation? ABSOLUTE CLASS , AGAIN

He would be if he started playing this well earlier in his career. IMO he's still young enough to be given the chance, but it's harder to get in now.

Yes - superb I thought. Its incredible how good-a PL winger he's become. Deserves an England call up but we all know it isn't going to come under Southgate sadly

Unless Saka picks up an unfortunate long term injury it’s unlikely.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

I bloody love him, what a player!

Unfortunately for Solly though he’s got England’s best player, the wonderful and probable future Ballon d’Or winner Saka in front of him so he is unlikely to ever play for England. Maybe he can make a squad as back up one day though.

Strange though, isn’t it. Apparently it’s fine once having been good but now shit (Maguire) but developing into a better player over time (the normal way) like Solly doesn’t fit the wacky Southgate plan.

Yeah, good point!

I think we see club coaches dropping players who are out of form, and picking new players, but country managers don't get the time with the players, so I think they often stick with the tried and tested. Southgate may be worse than most in that regard.

 

[mile oak]

Yeah, good point!

Or Southgate comes to his senses and realises Solly is a far better player.

Such a good game. by Solly. Before I was hoping he would take Burn on and he did just that. Sure Burn has had some outstanding games for Newcastle but looked poor yesterday. Hats off to him for spending some time at final whistle with Brighton players he had played with.

 

[Springal]

Saka, Rashford, Grealish all have played on the left for England. Tough list

Southgate should have gone after the WC for England to have any chance of Silverware at the Euros. He’s properly stinking the place out now with team selections.

 

[Ooh it’s a corner]

I think it’s Saka and Foden though who are ahead of him on the right - and possibly Bowen

Across all the front 3 there’s a lot of quality to be fair.

Unfortunate for Solly but selfishly for us i’d rather he gets some good rest in the windows

Thought Solly was excellent at LB today. Not easy against Mo Sala. Won most of his tackles and put in a few decent crosses with his left foot.

Agreed, he did really well out of position.

 

[deslynhamsmoustache1]

Solly M.o.M for me

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Was superb. Mr Reliable, what a pro.

 

[WhingForPresident]

He did a superb job today. Salah didn't have a sniff, bar the two goals, annoyingly.

 

[Invicta]

Great shift from Solly, he's so versatile.

 

[Bodian]

Nice to see this thread back.

 

[sully]

Definitely man of the match today in my eyes. I sometimes wonder if the sponsors have watched the game with their choices, but at least Adingra also had a good game.
