MancWanderer Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Never understand the stick Henderson gets. Puts in a shift and never stops yapping at those around him. Rashford MOTM but Henderson pushes him close for what he did for the whole team. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tomski Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 One thing that Southgate does is picks/creates an environment where they all like and play for each other. I really fell out of love with the national team when we had the ‘golden generation’ I hated most of the team. I see it as no coincidence that Southgate is delivering the best bar Sir Alf.

stevieb Posted November 29, 2022 Share Posted November 29, 2022 Maybe he knows what he's doing. We've topped the group and only struggled against the team that come second. We'd have loved that pre Southgate.   Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have drawn with USA and beaten two very ordinary sides. You can only play what has been put in front of you though so fair play. First goal achieved but feet need to be kept on the ground. Senegal will be a more difficult challenge but I think England will overcome them. Then it gets interesting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is the very nature of a competition though, and is the same for all sides. If we continue to play with a higher energy level we can do well. That notwithstanding, I'm not sure about our chances against France in a potential quarter final. They've got some of the best attacking talent around, though I reckon their defence can still be troubled. Senegal to worry about first though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Despite Southgate spending every waking hour thinking about gays and blacks rather than coaching his team, he's doing okay and I'm happy to put my trust in him, even though I don't necessarily agree with his selections at times.

Moderators Carlos Posted November 30, 2022 Moderators Share Posted November 30, 2022 Jude Bellingham would walk in to any team in this compo. I think you need a Henderson there to sit and dictate, let the young lads play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radcliffe white Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 Does the dirty work He’s certainly done well for himself getting the move to Liverpool and playing in a very good side few years ago along side the best in the world, would he get in a city/Madrid/Bayern etc midfield probably not Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wanderlust Posted November 30, 2022 Share Posted November 30, 2022 In the pub last night, having seen the line up, my mate and I had a little bet on which England player would have the most touches of the ball - I chose Maguire and he chose Stones. It was a close run thing, somewhat complicated by the fact they kept passing it to each other with Pickford occasionally getting involved in the first half but Maguire edged it. Just like watching the Wanderers for the first 45 - loads of possession across the back and f*** all going forward. Hard to criticise Southgate's tactics really as it softened Wales up for a more attacking second half approach and he got a few squad players on for a run out. Senegal should be do-able but there'll have to be a a huge step up after that with France or Argentina looking likely for a QF encounter.

Every team needs a player like Henderson or Rice or both they’re making Maguire look like a decent centre half . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
