[Albion] Tariq Lamptey

[Uh_huh_him]

Lamptey only played about 10 games before he got injured; White wasn't ignored and made the Euro squad; Dunk had already been considered and he didn't seem to fancy him; March is a good squad player for a mid-table PL team but not England quality. The only player that could realistically had a call up was Webster, but even he had a couple of periods off with injury in 20/21 and hadn't quite reached the levels we saw from him during the season just gone (prior to injury).

Lamptey may have only played 11 games in the 20/21 season, but there were 3 international breaks in that time. Admittedly, there is a lot of competition in that role.
Solly was having his best season at the time. Whilst you may not rate him, there weren't many English left backs out-performing him at that point.

Dunk and Webster are two of the best English Centre-backs in the division.
It is odd that they have both been overlooked, when so many others have had repeated call ups.
There does seem to be a bit of a blind-spot, especially considering the sheer volume of meaningless matches available to try out players.

Dunk was just a bit too old for the way Southgate was trying to build when his real chance came. He's been unfortunate not to be called up though.

Webster isnt consistant enough and makes too many mistakes to be considered. No issue with Southgate on this. If he can be consistently as good as he sometimes is then has a shout. He's not a million miles away but I wouldn't trust him at a WC yet.

Sure I don't disagree, but have Guehi/Coady/Mings been out-performing or more consistent, than Webster?

Personally I am perfectly happy with our players being overlooked this season.
The more of our players having a mid-winter break, whilst the other clubs best players, are over-extending themselves in Qatar, the better

I'm hoping Lamptey forgets this Ghana thing and focusses on having a fantastic season.

Webster was being seriously considered for the England squad due to be called up in March 2021, unfortunately he picked up an injury at the start of Feb against Burnley that ruled him out for 2 months so he was unavailable for that squad.

I enjoyed watching that far more than I should

Edit : the Norman Cook one is also brilliant. Something in my eye?

There's a special bond between those two:

According to his Instagram he’s in LA. Has he been given some extra time off ?

Must be doing well - appears to have 3 mobile phones [emoji23]

Every time I look at him I can't help but think he must be on holiday with his mum and dad ! He looks about 14.

Ha ! shows what i know. They normally come in on a Thursday to do their post break fitness check ups but not this year. Presumably cos of the world cup etc throwing everything out of wack.
Lamptey back and fit it appears too ! and was that Florin Andone and new Nike training kit (can we put that debate to rest now ? )

Yep that was definitely Andone getting a hug from Solly, seemed pleased to see each other.

I think Solly was more surprised [emoji23]

 

[Change at Barnham]

A big warm welcome for Florin Andone from Solly March.

 

[jcdenton08]

Even in that short clip you can almost feel Andone has an "air" about him
