Defensive Stalwart. The Big Dan.

I couldn't give a shit about England but Burn's too old to get a debut cap, pleased for him but it doesn't make sense, Jordan Henderson is a joke.

It'll personally be amazing for him to get a cap. All that hard work he has put in after starting from the bottom would have paid off.

The sun etc will be digging out the old German puns if it doesn't go swimmingly early on especially with the Burn and Henderson call ups, (don't know the rest).

Not sure there is much point in calling up a 33 year old with no international experience but I would love for BDB to get a cap.

Joselu got a call up for Spain, scored goals and helped them win the Euros.

 

I don't think there are many English centre backs playing at his level at the minute and since Tuchel loves three at the back he's probably comfortably the best option to cover LCB IMO. It makes a lot of sense to me, despite me thinking it's come about three years later than it should have done.

 

Our problem is we've overlooked players like Burn for decades and picked average youngsters from the 'big' clubs. This sort of shit is what the more successful nations have been doing for years - pick on form and adapt the system, don't pick players to fit a rigid system even if they are in shite form.

 

Rashford is a fucking mental one though. He's been a sub for Villa for the most part and don't get me started on Henderson

Is he Blyth’s first international player? 
 

No snark at all there- I’m genuinely curious. 
 

 

 

I’m genuinely pleased for him- seems like a thoroughly decent lad and I’m sure he’ll be popular with the squad.
