He's not got anything else that really sets him apart for me. I hope we see White instead of Coady. Guys never going to make it at international level where as White could be starting in 2-3 years. Greenwood's injury means we're going to see a Watkins call up surely? I think JWP is a good option for the last 20-30 minutes if we’re locked in a very tight game. Super Jack will get brought down around the edge of the box sooner or later. I think we’ll need more injuries to see Watkins called up. We’ve a lot of attacking talent still in the 32/33.

I expected Southgate to take JWP or Lingard - so I'm a little surprised both seem axed currently. Looks like Ollie will benefit, so great news for him. Imagine Southgate sees it something like: Mount (Foden/Grealish) / Henderson (Bellingham) / Rice (Philipps). JWP would be battling for the Henderson/Bellingham slot clearly - don't think it's a huge travesty he hasn't made it to be honest (providing Henderson is fully fit). I agree JWP is clearly the best set piece specialist in England. Trent/ Maddison probably the next best two pure free kick takers, but obviously neither in the squad either. Be interesting to see who takes the key free kicks. I imagine Kane will pull rank (and sky over the bar). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spain at Euro 1996 remains the only knockout European Championship game we've ever won. I expect that to go very soon seeing as the tournament has expanded now so there's an extra knockout round. But our record is really appalling 1960: Didn't qualify 1964: Didn't qualify '68: 3rd - there were only 4 teams who all went into the semis. We lost '72: didn't qualify '76: didn't qualify '80: out in the groups. Only won 1 game '84: didn't qualify '88: out in the groups, lost every game '92: out in the groups, didn't win a game (drew 2 lost 1) '96: semi finals! Won 2 group games and a knockout game 2000: Out in the groups. Won 1 game 2004: Quarter finals. There was no round of 16 then 2008: Didn't qualify 2012: Quarter finals - again no round of 16 2016: Round of 16 - the one where we lost to Iceland So yeah in 15 tournaments, of which england qualified for 9, we have only ever won one knockout game. And even that was on pens so we didn't win it in normal time. We've actually only ever won 10 games at the tournament in total. 11 if you include that Spain QF Safe to say we're shit at the Euros 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KAZZAM Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 I'd take Godfrey over Connor Coady and Ben White. We have to many good attacking wide players to waste playing with a 3 at the back. Therefore Coady is pointless to take and he isn't England quality. Ben White I'm sure has only been selected because of his partial cover at DCM as he's had an average season and isn't good enough.

PaulC Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 (edited) TAA now expected to be in the final squad. Who will he leave out for him? Surely we wont need James, Walker and Trippier as well. Edited June 1, 2021 by PaulC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stewiek2 Posted June 1, 2021 Share Posted June 1, 2021 All the talk of versatility in players yet nobody mentions that Ming's started out as a left back and our naturally left-footer defensive players is weak. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair enough he might not start but we don't play that system. But if we're 1 down with 10 minutes left and you want someone whipping in crosses to Kane, there's nobody in the squad better. There's no point in taking 3 right backs who all play the same system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
