He played all summer as we reached the final of the euros. He hasn't played in the league, in a position where players are rarely subbed on and not all that often rotated, in a season that is only 6 gameweeks old. For him not to be in the squad would be absurd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Willard Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Still no JWP in the squad. Shocked that no Konsa and Coady is in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stones rarely gets 25 league games a season at City and for me it sends out a bad message to others. Why play for Villa or West Ham when you automaically get called up being a Top 6 reserve 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why play for Villa or West Ham when you automaically get called up being a Top 6 reserve Well, it's degrees isn't it. The World Cup is more than a year away. If we get to next spring and Stones has barely played, then it might be time to start making Difficult Decisions, but the season has barely got started after he had a long summer. The hardest thing in international football is building understanding between a team, given the players have very little time together. Fortunately, by going deep over the summer, England's players did get more time together, and more experience playing together, and that should stand us in good stead going forward. That's not a cheap thing to throw away, it should only be done reluctantly when there's no other option. You're right that it sucks that football nowadays is that Man City can have Ruben Dias and Aymeric Laporte and John Stones and one of them is going to have to sit it out each week, but this is just the nature of it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbie09 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 The sooner Southgate leaves his role the better. He really is a bell end, and before anyone spouts about reaching the final in the summer I’d argue that was the minimum given the talent available to him. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson1 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Think Konsa deserves a place ahead of Coady. Wonder if Chilwell will look to get out of Chelsea soon? Hardly plays for his club and now his international career slipping away. Very pleased for Watkins though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bannedfromHandV Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 3 right backs again, you could replace one of those with Konsa and still have him able to cover RB if needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 coady has squad cheerleader nailed down looks a surprisingly thin squad based on James, Shaw, Mount all carrying knocks and then lingard, stones, sancho not playing much football, doesn't even seem to be trying to find an alternative CM, rice and phillips masterclass vs andorra incoming at least he dropped bamford 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono62 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 (edited) Isn't Reece James injured? In fact aren't Shaw and Mount injured as well? Edited September 30, 2021 by Jono62 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom13 Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 When your manager and captain have no personality, it makes following England hard work. Not got much interest in it all at the mo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 30, 2021 Share Posted September 30, 2021 Southgate should be playing Mings and Maguire as first choice CB’s given Stones isn’t playing for City. He won’t though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He won’t though. I'm puzzled at Watkins' inclusion. hasn't even scored a goal. Correct about Stones though, and Coady is shite. And I've seriously never heard of Oluwafikayomi Oluwadamilola "Fikayo" Tomori. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VillaChris Posted October 1, 2021 Share Posted October 1, 2021 (edited) Tomori plays for AC Milan. And started for Derby in play off final v us. Really don't understand Konsa being overlooked still. Interesting if he does qualify for Portugal as think they're still starting 38 year old Pepe and Jose Fonte is about 36 aswell so would get more chances for them. They've called up a fair few Brazilian born players in the past of course. Edited October 1, 2021 by VillaChris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
