L/H White Posted March 21, 2018 Author Posted March 21, 2018 Smalling and Jones are a bit poo. I really rate Lingard and Rashford though. agreed. smalling and jones shouldn't be at united, really really bad like rashford for his pace etc can't believe wellbeck is in, he's toilet agree with pabs on cahil, best days are gone for me, and not starting for chelsea lingard been one of their best players and score a good few Quote
Traf Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 We haven't got an outstanding candidate for the keeper's shirt. Walker best of bad bunch at RB No decent CBs or LBs Sterling, Alli are definites, as is Kane. Rest of the squad is a much of a muchness. Quote
gonzo Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Does all this mean I'm gonna have to do a sweepstake ffs Quote
Sweep Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Does all this mean I'm gonna have to do a sweepstake ffs It'll be the only bit of the tournament worth watching Quote
Traf Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Does all this mean I'm gonna have to do a sweepstake ffs I'm in. But I want a decent team this time. Quote
jimmyjoojar Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Sterling, Alli are definites. I think this is a constant reoccurring issue, based on their club form both over the last 12-18 months its a no-brainer. However neither has looked anything like the players they are for their clubs when with England. Alli in particular was dogshit at the Euros. Granted this has been the case with plenty before them and will be for plenty after them. I think loads of these multi-millionaires just aren't that arsed about England and/or are shit scared full of fear when representing them. Someone told me the solution is picking the best "team" rather than the best individual players, which makes sense in theory. But how the fuck do you do that in real terms? Quote

Zico Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 you'd have Lingaard starting based on form - his strength is running at players, being direct and getting shots in and around the box, def a big goal threat if used right not sure if him, Kane and Sterling can start in the same team mind Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 agreed. smalling and jones shouldn't be at united, really really bad like rashford for his pace etc can't believe wellbeck is in, he's toilet agree with pabs on cahil, best days are gone for me, and not starting for chelsea lingard been one of their best players and score a good few Welbeck not been a revelation since going to the arse, yet seems to have done ok for England. Can't be arsed checking but I'd guess his record of goals per game isn't too bad when compared to others in a similar position. Not sure it really matters who is selected. We lack world beaters so we need a good man manager to get the most out of what we've got. Quote
tomski Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 While I get your point they should be much better, but last time Belgium lost a game was June 2016. They are very good.Yep that may of come across wrong. They should be out of sight 11v11 but we will give them a game, depending on it being a dead rubber or not Quote
tomski Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Does all this mean I'm gonna have to do a sweepstake ffsyeeeeeeeeees Quote
mickbrown Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 I keep forgetting that Southgate is the manager until a game comes around Then I chuckle to myself and mutter 'fuck me, he is isn't he?' Quote
Traf Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 (edited) Welbeck has 15 in 36 for England, which looks good, but 10 of his goals are against shite. ie Lithuania Malta Moldova x 2 San Marino x 3 Scotland Slovenia x 2 Might as well take Crouch. Edited March 21, 2018 by Traf Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Would imagine a fair bit of international stats are along those lines. I wonder how many shrek got against similar teams. As for crouch, as for a late sub when you're desperate.... I'll throw a player in, completely left field; that little fucker at Burnley; Barnes. Plays up front on his own and annoys the fuck out of defenders. Scored a few too. We've got Kane and guys with pace but he's a bit different and gives a different options. A six fingered ALF if you will. Quote

Adlington Trotter Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 Might sound odd, but I'd have Townsend and IF fit (a big if), Andy Carroll. In that Iceland game we totally lacked a plan B. If we find ourselves in that position again this summer, chuck these two on. Townsend is a great crosser of a ball, and Carroll is great in the air. Direct and ugly, but might be our only option.

bolty58 Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 jose is a bellend With all he has won at Barcelona, Real Madrid, Inter, Chelsea, Man United etc., he must be absolutely shitting himself that a possible challenger for his job is living just up the road in Little Hulton. Quote

Don't disagree at all. Not sure about carols fitness; but townsend always done ok. Some players seem to get better playing at a higher level. Others seem to plateau and not step up. Quote
Dr Faustus Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 new kit is nice and at £55 it works out at £18 per game Quote
Tonge moor green jacket Posted March 22, 2018 Posted March 22, 2018 (edited) Beeb had the shirt at £65 this morning, and a further £40+ for shorts and socks. If you want the genuine thing and not a replica then add another 20 odd quid. Get to fuck. Edited March 22, 2018 by Tonge moor green jacket Quote
