cambridgeshire canary 6,701 Posted March 18, 2021 No Grealish? Hmm, the guy might be a **** but uh, that's an interesting choice.. And somehow Tyrone 'Stomps on your face' Mings is being seen as good enough for England. Yeah, no clue how on that one although Shaw and Prowse getting in the team on the other hand is pretty neat and deserved. And meanwhile Patrick Bamford is crying Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Move Klose 303 Posted March 18, 2021 Grealish is injured. Those CB options dont fill me with much hope. John Stones has been excellent the rest of them, meh. Surprised he didnt take a look at someone like Holgate or Ben White. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

From what I know only good thing about Coady is that while he does seem like a rather average centreback, he has real leadership skills on the pitch, very good captain for Wolves. Still feels criminal that neither Dunk nor Tarkowski have been called up. Edited March 18, 2021 by cambridgeshire canary Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Surprised he didnt take a look at someone like Holgate or Ben White. Brighton's best CB is Lewis Dunk, occasionally he suffers with a rush of blood to the head, but is a top player. Those CB look flakey to me, not sure which pairing would perform under pressure. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken Hairy 3,771 Posted March 18, 2021 How in the actual hell does Eric Dier keep getting into these squads???? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheGunnShow 5,937 Posted March 18, 2021 Overrated tosh, although technically more adept than recent incarnations of England teams. Defensively shaky, unbalanced in midfield and over-dependent on Kane up top (although Sterling has become a genuinely dangerous player in an England shirt now). Tarkowski should definitely be in there. He's as good an old-school centre-half as you'll get. In fact, I'd play Pope in goal with Tarkowski in there - the partnership is worth more than the sum of its parts. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Still feels criminal that neither Dunk nor Tarkowski have been called up. Coady is a really good passer of the ball. Probably only Stones is better. I'd pick all of them ahead of Dunk and Tarkowski. Would probably pick Keane over them too. Apart from Dier. He's a good player but his lack of pace gets him caught out too much by the better operators. He's clearly a manager's favourite though. Similar for Trippier. Yeah, he produces a good ball when you give him time and space but he's not great in one on one defending against top players and his lack of pace is limiting at both ends of the pitch.

lake district canary 4,531 Posted March 19, 2021 I struggle to see why international football goes ahead under the present circumstances. Nations have their internal club football to try and keep going and provide a distraction/interest for football supporters, but this euro tournament is already a year late and trying to cram it in this Summer with covid still a big issue is a tad ridiculous. There will be the world cup debacle next season too, so by the end of that and the following season straight after that, it will mean many players will have had no break for nearly four years. Season 19/20 straIght on to the 20/21 season, Euros, 21/22 season, world cup, 22/23 season. Totally ridiculous. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
