Keyblade Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 6 hours ago, VillaChris said: Had to laugh at his Foden comments. Shows the lack of foresight he has just waiting for Pep to play him there. Be proactive for once. Shows he has no ideas of his own. Just defers to club managers. It doesn't take a genius to try a gifted playmaker like Foden as a #10. It's not like there's anything on the line in these friendlies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won't pick Grealish as he's in the Championship, but then picks Phillips. Says players need to be playing for clubs but picks Maguire and Phillips. The way he discarded Mings after the Euros was terrible and the fact he hasn't picked Watkins is a disgrace. Mings was dropped as he wanted to look at younger defenders - then continues to pick Coady and Dier for a while. In other words, he's a liar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puts a huge emphasis on experience but then never gives his back up players opportunity to gain experience because he keeps calling up the same players rain or shine 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

foreveryoung Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 If we lose this, I thinks it's a case of the players losing the love for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongKongVillan Posted September 12, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted September 12, 2023 Removing Maguire and Hendo for this game shows he is a coward. He just couldn't face the music if he loses to Scotland with those two playing, while the likes of Dunk can take that blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Won't shoehorn Foden into midfield as he doesn't play there for his club...Trippier left back. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Also... "Pep doesn't play Foden centrally in big games." Why doesn't he look at where Maguire and Phillips are when it comes to 'big games' or any games for that matter How anyone can have any respect for this clown is beyond me. Bloke is a walking contradiction, a spineless one at that. (Don't @me saying he wouldn't be able to walk if he was spineless). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom13 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Any strong minded manager would confidently say something like 'I always pick the team I feel is best.' The fact he has to share his weird excuses proves how weak minded he is. He is clueless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Should have stepped down last tournament. His selections are born of fear, going with his greatest hits because he once got results with them. What a waste of time England are these days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 What's worse is how he weakly tries to justify himself. Having some confidence in his weird af decisions would at least have been something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jareth Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 After the Euros Southgate will of course stand aside, it can't come soon enough. Give him credit, he has overseen a period of transition and he's had some good success but he's hung on too long. This group of players is better than the man in charge. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
