Genie Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Going back into his Saudi league games it looks like he played 6 and wasn’t a winner in any of them. So he has been a winner once in that last 16 games he has appeared in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

villa4europe Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 or play stones there seeing as he does for man city most games id shape the formation around it, play a 2 of rice and bellingham, very attacking, win 5-4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rodders0223 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 Geezer literally looked like a 45 year old retired pro playing in soccer aid at Villa Park. The man chats untold amount of drivel. Henderson was decent, he had an engine and was decent at all facets of the game. Decent. Without the engine he's a **** pub player now. Sack the word removed.

delboy54 Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 What is the point of playing friendlies and not experimenting with new blood and new formations etc and playing the same old players? Oh I forgot we have Safegate as England manager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 16 minutes ago, villa4europe said: if we're picking lets say 4 or 5 CMs then the pool would be rice, bellingham, henderson, phillips, gallagher, mainoo, ramsey, jones, elliot, skipp, barkley, RLC, mount and then depending on how you see them maddison and MGW Rice and Bellingham are 2 who will obviously go, and should play. Beyond them as you say nothing really jumps out. Gallagher has looked better as the season has gone on. Ramsey a bit of a wild card. It’s almost impossible to think of something Mount is very good at. Barkley I think has had his day (and he blew it, kw). A fit Maddison should be a part of it. Maybe Mainoo / Elliot as “ones for the future” to be a part of the squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd bet money that the variety of clubs that Southgate has picked players from is more diverse than any other England manager in decades. The current squad has fifteen different clubs represented. In the time he's been England manager he's picked five different players from Burnley, seven from Southampton, three from Bournemouth, two from West Brom (!) and six from Crystal Palace. He has plenty of failings, but selecting players from a wide range of clubs isn't one of them. Edited March 19 by ml1dch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zatman Posted March 19 Share Posted March 19 23 minutes ago, HanoiVillan said: He was only really playing at a standard where he might have expected an England call-up for eighteen months tbh. And separately, in that same time frame, the manager who would never call up a player from Aston Villa had called up both Mings and Watkins. The lockdown season he was one of our best players when Maguire was tackling his own players. Had a dip under the clearing in the woods and then revitalised again while players like Maguire, Dier, Coady and Ben Godfrey were picling up caps He did call up them 2 but publicly dropped Mings from the World Cup for no reason and mocked Watkins inclusion as recency bias 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
