I’d love him to grab a couple of goals tonight, and really announce himself as an England international. He will only get 50-60mins so I hope he can score. No goals puts Toney ahead of him straight away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree with both of them but surely he understands why a Celtic-supporting Scotsman would want England to lose McGinn definitely keeps a lid on it doesn't he. Always remember him on the pitch with Grealish after the play off final and some pundit made them both wave to Prince William 'our future king'. McGinn definitely didn't look fully comfortable with it Edited March 23 by icouldtelltheworld Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Southgate had anything about him he wouldn't base his selections off 50-60 mins here and there. But he doesn't, so.... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cheltenham_villa Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Watkins getting his 15th appearance tonight. He's played a lot more than we realise. Good chance for him. Expect Toney to also get a chance, would be stupid if we didn't do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MWARLEY2 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Gets so few chances. Every corner goes far post . It just shows that Emerys system is based on getting the ball to Watkins in dangerous areas. Southgates is get it to Maguire . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, ten caps is a lot more than you'd think based on the narrative about him never getting selected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Been ok, poor service tbh, run the channels well, had one great chance that the defender got a nick to. Solid enough but nothing to cement a spot ahead of Toney if that’s his competition. Has played full 90 so wonder if Toney will get the Belgium game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 3 minutes ago, GingerCollins29 said: Hows he played? I think he's been poor in frankly a terrible attacking set up, he's not made runs that I think he would have done for villa, doesn't look as sure that he will get the ball so he doesn't look as hungry Missed a big chance that was actually I really good tackle on him Every England player in an attacking sense bar Bellingham hasn't been good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 I thought he held it up really well and tried to force good situations out of nothing a couple of times as well. Although Gordon tried I thought he was lacking quality, and Foden did absolutely nothing all game. So the service he had was seriously lacking. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 He had no service whatsoever, not only were no chances created for him, it didn't even look like the other England players were trying to create a chance for him, he wasn't even being given the ball in areas where he could perhaps try and create a chance for himself, the few times he did get the ball in the box albeit wide, he managed to play dangerous balls across the area. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MattVillaPortsmouth Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 Thought he was ok, was feeding off scraps - he had a nice little link up with Gordon, and got the ball a few times in the channel. Only really had a half a chance (defender got a good toe in). Weird that a team full of class players can’t adapt their game to suite those playing - played a normal England system for Kane but without Kane. Can see Toney getting most of the minutes on Tuesday, which is good for Villa but not for Ollies summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted March 23 VT Supporter Share Posted March 23 Looked like most other players in that team and they all seemed to have no idea what they were supposed to be doing. No patterns of play or anything (which is kinda expected in International football I guess?). That's not me saying I think Ollie was bad, he wasn't. Barely had a sniff.

WHY Posted March 23 Share Posted March 23 The whole Southgate system is based on Kane dropping deep, the players look clueless when he doesn’t play. Watkins was fine, had no service. Doesn’t help having wide men who constantly look to come inside and shoot. We will waste another tournament with Southgate in charge. England are flat track bullies who always struggle against half decent teams. That Brazil team is probably one of the poorest I’ve seen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
