The England Thread

[Yid121]

In other news, delph has pulled out which is the biggest and best news of the week for me!

 

[DJS]

Journalists getting boring now constantly asking Southgate about sterling.

If it was me I’d just say we covered that last press conference, next question please.

They just ask the same unimaginative crap all the time...

People saying it should have been kept in camp are forgetting the fact that the rumours were flying before the statements came out. They had to make a stance and as it happens I think Southgate has done the right thing.

And with the scratch on his face they couldn't just deny it happened.

Exactly. That's where the press officer has to step in and make it clear that they've dealt with it already and won't be discussing that any more. It's not that difficult. To be honest there isn't even anything more anyone can say about it.

And then have the journalist who asked the question taken outside and beaten with sticks?


Thats what would happen if I was England manager anyways...

Winks starts tonight.

Not quite sure how Mount and Ox are ahead of Maddison who is a vastly superior player to both of them and the fact that Ox can’t get anywhere near the first 11 of his club.

Also feel a bit to Tomori who has been playing every game and is dropped for Stones who has played 1 game all year.

The rest is about right and I’m glad TAA is being given a game over Trippier tonight.

I think Gareth may be saving certain players for the more difficult game away to Kosovo next, so should we see Madison, tomori etc starting that game then it makes sense.

Yeah good point. I can see Trippier, Henderson, Tomori, Maddison and Sterling coming back in for the game.

 

[dagraham]

I think Maddison deserves a start.

I think Maddison deserves a start.

I wonder if Southgate is more unhappy about his casino visit then he let's on. Seems the sort of manager to put an emphasis on attitude over ability.

I get the feeling he wouldn’t have been called up if that was the case.

 

[teok]

Makes a change seeing harry smiling doesn't it.

 

[Marty]

Lovely assist by Chilwell.

 

[Gbspurs]

How did Kane miss that header?

Edit: just seen replay hit the defenders hand

 

[spursfan77]

I think Maddison deserves a start.

Mount wasn’t too bad in his last couple of appearances. Maybe Southgate is showing him a bit of faith until he has a disaster.

Handball

 

[mark87]

Good save.

 

[Sandros Shiny Head]

Shocking from Rashford, no composure

 

[Gbspurs]

Goal for Kane!
