Dr Gloom 21924 Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 I sort of see where Noelle is coming from. Where is the creativity in the centre of that midfield? There isn’t any beyond Loftus-Cheek. Wilshere would be a massive punt, as would a half fit Lalana, but who else is going to be the playmaker? He’s going to start Dier and Henderson in the middle, isn’t he?

It’s fucking absurd and is exactly why a bloke like Southgate shouldn’t be in the job. He’s basically taking 10 defenders in a 23 man squad (if you count Delph and Young), you don’t need that level of cover for a squad that’s likely going to play 3-5 games ffs.

I would say you have to count Delph and Young given they're only good enough for their current club and country at full-back 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew 4748 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Belgium and Spains squads have been announced. No surprises with Spains, its incredible as it has been for years now. No Nainggolan in Belgiums which is a surprise from a "quality" point of view but he and Martinez have never got on and, tbh, he's always come across as a knob to me so thats probably why. Hes immediately announced his international retirement and complained that some people don't like it when you're too "REAL" ( ) which somewhat makes the point. Squad is still superb though somehow Christian Benteke has made it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrew 4748 Posted May 21, 2018 Share Posted May 21, 2018 Just now, Ant said: He's been of the leagues best players apparently (not saying that means much mind) Naingolan not getting into that squad is fucking mental, Fellaini , Januazji and Tielemans are fractions of the player he is, then you've got witsel and carrasco dicking about in china They can't deal with his realness though so he was never going to get in.

Dr Gloom 21924 Posted May 22, 2018 Share Posted May 22, 2018 Kane announced as England captain. Pleasing as it means hopefully Henderson won’t be an automatic starter alongside Dier. I’d like to see Loftus-Cheek in there because there is literally no one else in that midfield capable of passing the ball forwards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaves Ali in behind Kane, who tbf has had the best season out of any player in the squad and deserves to be skipper, despite his monotone cock in the gob voice and banal cliched bollocks he talks. I understand folks reservations about the mackem but he's very good in Klopps system. I just don't think Gareth is going to get them to play a high energy pressing game in a tournament. Strikes me as there's one game plan, wingbacks and Ali feed Kane, which is limited to say the fuckin least...

That would have him leaving out Sterling, I imagine it'd be a central midfield 2 of dier and henderson with Sterling and Alli behind Kane. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
