England squad...

Recommended Posts

Seeing this announced today made me think of what if Barnes & JJ didn't have their nasty injuries. Even madders who I'm not surprised has been left out will feel disappointment not being included. I seem to remember England managers always picking their favorites in pst tournaments despite performances not being upto par. In madders case he just might not have done enough to get the credit in the bank with southgate.

For our young Luke Thomas as outstanding as he's been maybe the euro's has come just a season too soon.

Anyway, any thoughts about the players that have been picked and who would you root for (if any).

What about players from other teams like Bamford who did not get a sniff?

Do we really need 4 keepers??

Our three england possibles are all absent through injury

 

madders never had a hope - he’s no more than 85% fit 

 

if the tournament is a big success for England then it may be tough for any of them to get much of a look in moving forward as so many of the squad are young

Who actually gives a fig? Money 6 boys’ glee club, managed by a feckin’ turnip  I mean, really?  🤷

Not especially bothered, but half the players included aren't from the big 6 money teams so not sure if that's justifiable. Sure our lads would've been in contention were it not for injury. Fortunately, they get a nice summer break instead.

All Belgium, or Belgique-Belgie as a 6 year old me thought the country was called thanks to Panini....

The last stickers I remember collecting (but never finishing the album) was Mexico '86...  (Hmm, I wonder what happened to it?)

I think Southgate is a terrible manager but he has got it spot on leaving Maddison out of the 33 man squad. Not at full fitness and put in some average performances for us since he has come back in. 

On his form the early part of the season he would've been in the mix.

I hope some minnow nation wins it because that's the most entertaining outcome for me. I honestly have absolutely zero interest in England. I'm more likely to watch the likes of Belgium because I support Tielemans, Praet, Castagne and Leicester.

Okay. Money’d 12, managed by a carrot? Happy now? See? See? See what you’ve driven me to? 😞😞😞😞😞

We should have more in there again. Players would be justified missing a move to us over the way our English players have been treated. 

 

Whilst he doesn't deserve a place NOW, even Maddison has a grievance over the last eighteen months as he's been more than worthy of a few more caps.

Unlike the majority of Man Utd supporters...

Inhave actually been to Belgium.   At least I drove through it on the way to Germany!

Maddison was badly treated last year alright. The casino incident was very convenient for Gaz.

 

Not sure it will affect us much. We are well regarded with a lot of good press. Southgate isn't.

Not really

If you are English and England were playing Belgium in the final of the tournament & you put on your Belgium kit and actively cheered them on, told people you wanted Belgium to win and faked happiness at full time then you are attention seeking and a weirdo my friend

I disagree. It's not really about Belgium is it?

 

Leicester > England

 

Supporting a group of players that play for dislikeable clubs is a bit weird if you ask me. I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than cheer on Man United and Liverpool players.
