England vs Romania | Sunday 6th June 2021

[remember arthur mann]

Just got in, so Southgate is going down the GPC, Ole's at the wheel pen tactics, they have the opportunity to learn football from the master and they go down the BFS, Ellis system, firkin clowns.

Not a fan then ?

never likes the ****

And to be really honest he looked decent surrounded by Hendo! and Rashford.

Perhaps the other way round, we know why aye mon and Rashford are garbage.

Henderson must be up there as one of the worst players ever to play for England, quite how he's got to 50 caps is absolutely amazing, we all know why of course but its still a hell of a thing.

Just had a look at the list of over 50 cappers. Only Glen Johnson and Sir Phillip of Neville are in the same dross category.

Sorry but that is just piss poor leadership I could understand it if he was a decent penalty taker but he ain’t that was nothing but trying to feed his ego .........a captain makes the right choices for the team not his self

My starting 11 first game

_______________Pickford
Walker____stones_____???____Chilwell
____________Rice_____JWP
________________Mount
??? __________________________Foden
______________Kane

In defence its a take your pick of who is the least shit, Mings and Coady are both really really crap.

Then the right wing is entirely up for grabs. The problem is Foden, Grealish Rashford and Sterling all operate from the left(more great forethinking from southgate) foden is probably the best option on the right from those but he will be less influencial there and I believe you play the best players in their position. I'd have Grealish there as the most in form but he's never played that side of the pitch so I think it's sterling.

This isn't what I think southgate plays though, he almost certainly goes with a Back 5 and 2 holding players.

JWP wasn't selected in the squad. Unless I'm missing something and he has replaced TAA.

"I don't think Grealish is a Diver. He looks for contact and goes over!"

Proper insight there...

Who has replaced TAA?

Totally agree, hopefully some of the senior players put him in his place, but I doubt it.
If you take the ball of the penalty taker by pulling rake you better score.
He should be getting a smacking in the changing room

Who has replaced TAA?

No one.

He's irreplaceable.
