I think he would have preferred a 18 man squad if he had his way. Interesting Enrique said he called up only 24 players because they deserved it At least he is honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
avfc1982am Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 If Jack starts tonight then the tournament finally starts for me. I haven't been fussed up to now but will be seriously excited if our lad starts. I hope he's fired up and ready to own it because he'll be carrying the nations hopes on his shoulders not just B6. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAZZAM Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 No way we win the Euro's playing like we have been. Zero form, wrong players we are already effectively out. At this point radical changes are needed today Sancho, Jack, Bellingham in to stand any chance of staying in and winning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a m ole Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) Slightly disappointed if Jack gets thrown into a position he’s not been prepared for with changes across the side, points to more indecision. Southgate starting Saka would be another contradiction to his comments about players and experience but that’s not surprising. Having said that Jack is so versatile he’ll do what he does from the middle and do it well. Just wish Mings would keep his spot as he’s been head and shoulders the best England player, maybe he’s being rested and Maguire given a chance to show he can compete now we’ve qualified but that’s probably being kind on Southgate. From the leaks I’m expecting: Pickford Walker Stones Maguire Shaw Rice Phillips Saka Grealish Sterling QB9 Id prefer to see: Pickford Walker Stones Mings Shaw Rice Sancho Phillips Bellingham Grealish QB9 Which would have Mount in Phillips’ place and Phillips in Rice’s place if he wasn’t having to isolate (another story but the entire situation is a little crazy) Edited June 22, 2021 by a m ole Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh on Mings given he's been England's best player over the 2 games, but giving Slabhead a run in a dead(ish) game is understandable I suppose. Grealish and Saka will be sweet. Just need Kane to stay up top and hope he's got his mojo back. Fantastic opportunity for Jack to make himself undroppable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It ain't that deep, you don't need to travel and watch a billion games of football live. You are not going to get a top coach in his prime, it's either an old duffer on a come down or a young muppet who can't get a PL gig. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mantis Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 inb4 Grealish starts, runs the show and we destroy the Czechs, before being dropped to the bench for the Round of 16 tie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
