Sweep Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 and Cahill is a bit poo to we're really struggling for a decent CB these days Aye. I have a few mates who are Chelsea fans, one of them said the other week “Cahill is fucking dog shit now, you can have him back” which made me laugh. Especially when I pointed out that Cahill wage is now probably more than the rest of our squad combined
Guest Posted May 22, 2018 Posted May 22, 2018 Cahill would be a good shout, but he's not likely to be playing I wouldn't have thought, unless there are injuries I’d pick him. Not sure who would be ahead of him. Certainly not Phil Jones who is awful. Stones? Hardly played.
tomski Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Is he? I'm struggling to see that. We don't have a proper leader in there clearly. I don't like strikers being captains generally as I think often its a distraction. My gut feel is Kane feels pressure when playing for England so I'm not sure this will help.In the sense that he's a striker and a very good one who is one of the best in the world, yes. I think the traditional role of captaincy is dead. I think the modern player at that level is too absorbed to be inspired by others as maybe they once were.
Sweep Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 I’d pick him. Not sure who would be ahead of him. Certainly not Phil Jones who is awful. Stones? Hardly played. It probably depends if we a start with 3 or 4 at the back I'd expect Maguire and Stones to be first choice CB, if we play 3 at the back, then Cahill would probably get in....although Walker could be pulled in to become the 3rd CB I suppose

The third is up for debate. Stones? How much has he played this season, and has he learned how to defend yet? Not sure why Walker would play CB when he's spent all season at right wing back either.....

L/H White Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Walker and Stones will defo start as part of a back 3 imo the other will possibly be cahill the trend is they are all decent with the ball at their feet downside, other than walker the other 2 arent very good at defending
Didledee Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 (edited) Walker will be cb, no need for 3 rb's, Trippier and TAA as rwb's Edited May 23, 2018 by Didledee
Sweep Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Walker has played there in the friendlies where Southgate has tried 3 at the back and done well. I know, that's why I suggested it might be an option.....not sure why bwfcfan5 thinks it's not likely
L/H White Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 I know, that's why I suggested it might be an option.....not sure why bwfcfan5 thinks it's not likely because hes a prick
Guest Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 I know, that's why I suggested it might be an option.....not sure why bwfcfan5 thinks it's not likely Its likely but still playing him there when he's spent the season as an attacking right wing back is still bollocks IMO!
Didledee Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Already done well in that position and he'll still have a lot of work to do on that right side, just won't be boming forward as that'll be trippiers job.
jules_darby Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 Are folk serious about shelvey Be a red card fest with that dick I could be wrong but I'm sure he's not even been booked in 2018
Casino Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 He was banned for 4 months Seriously a wc isn't the premier league and he's a dick Imo And he's not much better than henderson
jules_darby Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 He was banned for 4 months Seriously a wc isn't the premier league and he's a dick Imo And he's not much better than henderson Livermore has done gear and nicked a cab He’s much more of a dick I reckon Shelvey has matured personally and would’ve taken him in a heartbeat
Traf Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 And he's not much better than henderson And Henderson's a regular, so by that definition Shelvey sould be in.
Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 23, 2018 Posted May 23, 2018 I see the new captain has come out with some magnificent comments. Why spout shite?
jules_darby Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 I see the new captain has come out with some magnificent comments. Why spout shite? I’ve read a couple of interviews and sounded fine to me What’s the problem?

Beeb qouted him as saying we can win the world cup and anything else is failure. Unless he's been quoted out of context, then he's set himself up for a fall in the press and public.
Casino Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 perhaps he shouldve said we are really not very good and getting out of the group is our aim

Unless he's been quoted out of context, then he's set himself up for a fall in the press and public. I'd rather that than some half baked apologetic response. If you don't believe you can win the world cup there is no point bothering. Realistically we aren't very likely to get even to the semis, but the players need belief.

Unless he's been quoted out of context, then he's set himself up for a fall in the press and public. And here lies the problem, he's dammed if he does and dammed if he doesn't. What do folk want FFS. Our press and a large portion of football fans in general are wankers. He can hardly say we've got fuck all chance of winning it, our managers not really fit for the job and the squad is massively inexperienced but we'll see how we go.
Tonge moor green jacket Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 I agree with positivity chaps, but he'll need to learn a bit more about not giving the animals in some of the papers ammunition. We all want to win it, and on our day I belive we can beat anyone. But that's a bit different; don't expect negativity or silly half baked statements just wonder if anyone is helping him avoid traps. Might just have been better with a slightly more moderated response. He's a young captain with a lot of goal scoring responsibility -don't want him overloaded with scrutiny. I guess we'll see in due course.
athywhite1958 Posted May 24, 2018 Posted May 24, 2018 I don't give a fuck who plays, just had an e-mail from DHL to say World Cup tickets will be delivered tomorrow, less than 3 weeks to go
