England will benefit from having both of them in the squad in the coming years (after this tournament in Watkins’ case of course) Both Bamford and Watkins are twice the player calvert-Lewin is. And we are already paying for the decision of bringing someone who scored 5 goals in his last ~25 games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s worked his whole life to get where he is now, I very much doubt that he is bored of being a striker all of a striker, I think that is an overreaction. These are the peak years of his career His peak years were 3 years ago. He has been crocked so many times he can't turn anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we do crash out, I really hope the tabloids turn the heat on Southgate just like they did with Graham Taylor, Bobby Robson, Steve McLaren et al. They probably won't because they like him and they think that that the fans do as well. The FA certainly do, because he's a yes man in a suit.

Okonokos Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Right, I've booked a round of golf for this evening then. Not watching any more England games under that loser. Hopefully he will lose his job after the Euros anyway, because he deserves it. Pathetic manager. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveAV1 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 Southgate will now be “thinking” that in the last 16 game there is a good chance that we could face France, Germany or Portugal. He won’t consider for a moment how we could play to hurt those teams. Instead he’ll be quacking in his boots and working on a plan to defend, defend, defend. So that midfield three that @CarryOnVilla mentioned above could well be what he goes with, to prepare for next week. Depressing isn’t it? 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Thug Posted June 22, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted June 22, 2021 (edited) I can picture the interview after the Czech game. ’So Gareth. Congratulations on your 0-0 draw and progressing into the last 16. Do you feel your team selection has been vindicated?’ ‘With Mount out, I wanted to start someone who could carry the ball forward and provide creativity from that central midfield position. Harry Maguire was perfect for that position.’ ’Did you consider Grealish for that position?’ ’Grealish isn’t a central midfielder. And he’s been injured. But he’s learned a lot from being with us, and seeing how we like to do things here. He knows what’s expected from him now, which is invaluable for him going forwards.’ Edited June 22, 2021 by Thug 1 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have an issue that neither Watkins nor Bamford are also in the squad, considering we have 3 right backs. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Amsterdam_Neil_D Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 On the other hand, he might start him and Jack has one of those games where he runs the game like for the Villa. If they give him the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There isn't a scenario in the world where Mason Mount doesn't play as our no.10 for 90 minutes if he is fit and available for selection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Something like, around the green is good enough, ball outside of green but loads of ball possession, no putting though as he could give the ball away too easily in them areas. If he plays golf like football his round will be 180 with 0 holes finished. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThunderPower_14 Posted June 22, 2021 Share Posted June 22, 2021 You look at how other managers have other teams playing, like Mancini at Italy. Like a well oiled machine, creating chances, scoring and defending so well. It's just heartbreaking to see Southgate take the most exciting array of English attacking talent in living memory and making them eek out draws with very few chances against average teams. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
