canarycop 232 Posted November 5, 2022 If Madders doesn't go to the World Cup it will be a travesty. He is by far and away the best English midfielder out there at the minute. I have just said to my dad that he gets people off their seats he is that good. Southgate would be a fool to ignore him........ You just know he will though don't you Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Newtopia 573 Posted November 5, 2022 I hope I am wrong, but I think Southgate has decide he has a bad attitude. It is not based on performance. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ec-p 117 Posted November 5, 2022 His form is better than Foden, Mount, Grealish and Sterling. 100% he should go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Will be interesting to see - Sterling for one has been poor (and played in the wrong position), if Madders is overlooked ahead it is purely on reputation not form.

GJL Mid-Norfolk Canary 2,035 Posted November 5, 2022 With an extra 3 squad places making it a 26 man squad,surely there's a couple of 'wildcard' spots for players who happen to be in form right now?...Maddison being one, Rashford the other Southgate will probably just fill up his squad with ordinary players like Ward-Prowse Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SwearyCanary 1,340 Posted November 5, 2022 You have to question Southgate if he regards Maddison as just a wild card though. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

East Rider 589 Posted November 5, 2022 I wonder if the pressure from the public and the recent poor results will force him to take Maddison? In any case, if he does take him, he will only bring him on when we are struggling and stepping into the last chance saloon. He should go, that's for sure, but we will probably end up with 4 left backs instead. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Payno10 52 Posted November 5, 2022 If I was Maddison I would look at my heritage to see if I could play for another country the way southgate treats him over mount and grelish Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Capt. Pants 5,008 Posted November 5, 2022 I think Maddison will go, but as already mentioned he probably won't get a game unless there is a raft of injuries. It will be interesting to see if he is brave enough to leave out Sterling, who has been utterly dreadful at Chelsea. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nexus_Canary 1,206 Posted November 5, 2022 Have the Daily Mail or The Sun picked him for the England Team? I don't think he is on their radar with literally millions of pounds worth of off form players way ahead of him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AJ 1,359 Posted November 5, 2022 (edited) Facts are statistically the England team would be better with him in it, on that basis alone he should be on the plane Edited November 5, 2022 by AJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
astro 423 Posted November 5, 2022 As Rodgers mentioned, Maddison is a risk taker - there is no way Southgate will play him, even if he selects him for the squad. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Southgate too busy trying to justify why the Qatar world cup is a good thing, just like that hypocritical **** Gary Neville. Clearly a very dull yes man who likes those personalities who toe the line with total loyalty, rather than have genuine mercurial talent but may not have a face that fits. I suspect Gazza would have been left at home if Southgate was the manager. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
