UpTheVilla26 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) I thought getting picked to play for your national team was supposed to be a recognition of being in great form. Honestly - Phillips, Bowen, Coady, Mount, Grealish, Maguire & Shaw have either not been very good this season thus far or hardly played. It's a joke.

Popular Post Keyblade Posted September 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2022 Jack had to channel his inner Ronaldinho to get a sniff at this England side, but now he's a shoo-in as long as he plays back passes for 60 minutes every few weeks. It's so hilariously predictable. 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just a 2-1 home defeat to Brighton and a 4-0 spanking at Brentford when he did play. He does play well and kneeslide against San Marino though so fair to keep him in Kind of what I am hoping for from us if McGinn is dropped. Unfortunately, our manager doesn't have a massive sack of man balls like Ten Hag does where he's brave enough to drop his captain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post theboyangel Posted September 15, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted September 15, 2022 Southgate really does manage to suck the enjoyment out of getting behind the national team. what an absolute dire selection of friends, sorry players he’s picked My interest was minimal in this international break as it was but now it’s below zero. 0/10 WNB 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 I'm gutted for Mings, but having no villa in the team will make it much easier not to watch any of the blood cup this winter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 (edited) Southgate has fallen into that trap of going out of his way not to do the obvious to prove how clever he is. Watching the lionesses was so refreshing. I know already it’ll be shite, slow, safe, predictable performances that bore the tits off of everyone involved.

tonyh29 Posted September 15, 2022 Share Posted September 15, 2022 Grealish , ignored for far too long when he was the best English player in the premier league with Villa , now automatically selected when he's not even bang average with citeh Prime Southgate 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

a-k Posted September 16, 2022 Share Posted September 16, 2022 Lot's of talk here about who is in the squad that shouldn't be, but really who should be in the squad that isn't? Genuine question that I'd be interested to hear what people think. I would say: Walker (injured?) --> Ben White Coady --> Mings Maguire --> Dunk/Tarkowski Bowen --> Sancho Phillips --> Maddison and probably also Tomori/Guehi --> Eze, since there are a bajillion CBs in the squad already Although, to be fair, and this isn't a defence of Safegate as I did take the piss out of this earlier, but on one hand I do understand the reasons for picking someone like Phillips, as it's clear he will be in the WC squad and this is the last camp before a rushed preparation for the WC. With that in mind, "better" to keep him around as the final preparations are theoretically taking place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep, it's heartbreaking to be honest. We should already have one trophy with this group and a genuine chance at the World Cup.

Our current incumbent at Villa is one of them. The manager who everyone except his employers can see is going absolutely nowhere and is squandering a golden opportunity, but nothing will happen with him until it's too late because he's either a "nice guy" or a big name and isn't doing terribly enough to get sacked outright. Steve Bruce at Villa is another example. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
