Out Foxed Posted 9 September 2019 Posted 9 September 2019 6 hours ago, OntarioFox said: Am I the only one not that bothered that Madders didn't get in for the Bulgaria game? Mount has absolutely carried that Chelsea side so far this season and been arguably their only standout. He's also a bigger goal threat from open play. He's there on merit, whatever anyone says, and our boy will get his chance, even if just from the bench, against Kosovo I'm certain. It's not like England are struggling to create chances these days, so it's hardly going to be a revelation to bring someone in Maddison's mould into the fold, save for direct free kicks for which he's probably the best in the squad. We don't play off the last man - you're not going to get the sorts of chances Vardy gets on a plate week-in week-out from Madders unless you drop Kane and bring Sterling in from the wing, neither of which are going to happen and for good reason - the system is working. I can sit here and bemoan the lack of Leicester player involvement or the supposed big 6 cartel with the rest of you, but I'd rather accept the reality - Mount is a good player and fits the current England system better than Maddison. What is a far bigger joke is Danny Rose getting in ahead of Chilwell. /rant did you miss the sub when alex oxlade and neutrino came on?
st albans fox Posted 9 September 2019 Posted 9 September 2019 JM tweeted a photo half an hour ago of him in his England garb ....suspect that means he’s been told he is playing
ThaiFox Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 Really don't think I can be arsed to sit up until 4am watching England tonight. I just can't get excited about them. It's strange. If Leicester play badly and win I'm buzzing, but if England play badly and win I find myself moaning about what a waste of my time.
Foxin_Mad Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 Southgate likes safe sideways midfielders like Barkley and Henderson, it will be hard for Maddison to break into the team. He clearly has his favourites, if he has his chance his best bet is to keep it simple, not try some of the Hollywood stuff he does. I cant understand Rose over Chilwell although neither have been great this season.
ALC Fox Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 I'm quietly looking forward to this. By all accounts Kosovo will be a sterner test than Bulgaria so it'll be interesting to see how they set up and if they try to come at us. Apart from hoping the Leicester lads start or at least play some part in the game, I also want to see Sancho at his best in an England shirt.
oohaahmustafa Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 England 2 - 1 Kosovo Kane 17, 94(pen) Kosovan lad 63

FoxyJim1987 Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 Wow, Barkley in again after 90 mins of fvck all v Bulgaria. Madders must have hit on his daughter or something cos this stinks.
BraunstoneFox23 Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 Uninspired midfield choice again, I'm sure we'll still win but I just wish the style of play was a bit more fluent.
nnfox Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 Lots of comments questioning Maddison's omission. At least Rashford gets rested before the big game at the weekend.
Jimothy Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 Barkley is being kept out the Chelsea team by Mount yet starts for England ahead of Maddison and Mount
UniFox21 Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 Where's the guy preaching that we should stop complaining Maddison didn't play Saturday as he'd start today?
Foxhateram Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 Same again then. Maddison still omitted. I don't know what the poor lad has got to do.

Finnegan Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 Barkley in for Maddison is about twenty years of what's wrong with the English national football team in a nutshell.
adam Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 Absolute farce that midfield. Southgate clearly has his favourites. Barkley only in as he plays for Chelsea. He wasnt even very good on Saturday. I'm starting to get pissed off with southgate and on the verge of hoping we get beat again so we can hopefully get a manager in with a bit of excitement. Saying that though, Boothroyd with probably get the job next.
UniFox21 Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 You'd be proper pissed off if you were Mings, Winks, Gomez, Maddison, Wilson etc. You've travelled and basically played maybe 20 mins at most. You can see why people retire from national duty.

Especially now Maddison isn’t getting a look in, seems like England have reverted to similar big team selections from the Hodgson days.
UniFox21 Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 It's nice to see the Twitter page blowing up questioning Barkley starting. Least it isn't just us being biased
SouthStandUpperTier Posted 10 September 2019 Posted 10 September 2019 The fury being vented in this thread is a bit weird. I'm honestly not remotely bothered that Maddison and Chilwell haven't been picked.
