Popular Post WHY Posted July 8, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 8, 2021 11 minutes ago, Zatman said: dont forget the famous Mount press, first time I watched it fully in action last night. Strolls up to a Danish defender who passes around him and continued it for the entire game Was at the game last night and had a brilliant view of the whole pitch, was sat behind the dugout at the front of the top tier. Mounts performance reminded me a lot of Conor Hourihane, he ran around not doing a lot and often hid instead of showing for the ball. I can only assume he gets picked for his set piece delivery which I also thought was poor for the most part. He’s been average all tournament but still remains a first choice, it genuinely baffles me. I’m not knocking Mount he’s a good player but isn’t the best player in the squad to play that position. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm just worried that when he gets back to Bodymoor Heath, for the first 20 minutes until the coaches exorcise him, he will be like prime Jake Livermore.

Southgate shouldn’t have his favourites, all players should be on an equal footing Jake Livermore was a good player a few years ago, lost his way a bit now, don’t get me wrong, he’s still decent but not just as good as he should be Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know some players quietly go about their business effectively without being noticed but I dont see Mount offering goals and assists so what's the point? Yes he's probably covering well but who cares when there's Rice and Phillips to do that. Start Jack and bring Mount on as the super sub to defend if that's what Southgate wants lol 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he doesn't play the same way. He doesn't run past fullbacks looking to get on through balls. He doesn't attack fullbacks and get to the byline. He's fantastic at what he does and I'd have him in my England 11 every single time. But clearly Southgate wants different attributes out wide to start games.

rodders0223 Posted July 8, 2021 Share Posted July 8, 2021 Dad where were you in 66 when England won the world cup? Oh lad what a time, we were dancing in the streets till midnight, there was a block party and a good old sing song, what a time to be alive that was, we danced until the early hours without a care in the world, oh to be young and merry again. Halcyon days lad. Dad where were you in 21 when England won the Euros. On a forum complaining Jack didn't start and calling the manager a word removed.

It's all about pacy wingers getting onto through balls or balls over the top. Imagine an alternate universe where we're starting Grealish and Foden or Sancho on the wings and the entire attack is built around driving runs through the middle of the pitch and lots of 1-2s and give and go between the likes of Jack, Kane and Mount etc. Football porn. A prime Gabby would be perfect for the way Southgate wants to play, and Sterling is probably the player of the tournament if England can win it.
