Super negative and slowing our attack down hugely clearly worked…

Phillips was fantastic last summer. He’s injured at the moment, but as soon as he’s fit, he’ll be back in the squad. Possibly get a move to a big club in the summer as well, which will also help his cause. Henderson will also be in the squad and as one of only a few England players to have won anything with their club, I’m absolutely fine with that. You need winners in the dressing room. Rice is nailed on and imo our best player. Mount, like Henderson, is a southgate favourite so he’ll also be there. Bellingham not far behind Rice. i don’t know if there is room for another CM. If there is, it’s a toss up between Gallagher and JWP for me. Personally, I’d go Gallagher.

Worriersaint?

I take it you’ve not been to a game of football since the 80’s…

Tops that are more white than red are always better. Basically, we need to be white and red, rather than red and white.

I’ve been Hearing good things about Canada and that have an exciting young crop coming through, an almost ‘golden generation’ (for their terms). A few have tipped them to surprise a few at the 2023 WC, which is hosted in your neck of the woods... how’s it looking for them over there, Ottawa?

No, Sue. Your passive aggressive use of foul and abusive language “don’t quote the ****” is what I find aggressive. Only you will know the intentions behind the *’s, but it doesn’t take a genius to work out it either starts with a T, P or god forbid a C. It may be the sort of language you can get away with down the pub after football, in a PO postcode, with the lads lads lads, but it very much unnecessary on this forum.

I thought he was in the main pretty negative. Always passing backwards and safe rather than driving forward as he does for us. Of course, that could be the way Southgate has instructed him to play. Pretty untested defensively.

I can’t see how he gets into this England team tbh. I can’t see him going to Qatar, unless there are injures.

Was really impressed with the 2 palace lads yesterday’s, Gallagher and Guehi. A shame we weren’t In for Guehi.

Wow. This is the sort of language and aggression that will earn you a 2 week ban… providing the mods apply rules consistently…

he’s not the best player in the world, a righted footed knock off tadic, but I like him. works hard, seems to be a decent lad and has the right attitude (and started to chip in with a few goals which is nice). Deserves a new deal in my opinion. Especially when you consider we’ve given deals to the likes of Theo and Long for seemingly nothing, in not too distant history.

I can’t see us being able to compete with Villa or West Ham though, if true.

What was the pre arranged buy back clause for him? £45m? If tottenham want to offer us that for him, then they can have him.

Him announcing retirement says a great deal about his persona and ego. Desperate to be a celebrity. He’ll end up on a tv show, 100%

Pot, kettle, as some may say…

Twar was his name, The lad who’s never played the game, Claims Broja is poor, and Armstrong Shouldn’t score, We don’t want to hear his nonsense no more.

It can’t be. Mike Dean was tapping him up Yesterday, to join city.

Saints being shit keeps this place alive with never ending, repetitive debates. It’s boring on here when we’re winning.

As do I, which is how I know the traits. as I said, it wasn’t a dig and would explain why we clash as sometimes it feels like banging my head against a brick wall. apologies if you have taken offence.

The ball was there to put us 1-0 up. Unfortunately the man won’t admit that.

You seem unable to grasp reality and external factors. You don’t seem to understand anything that’s not in black and white on a laptop. it’s actually not a dig, it would explain a lot.

I was going to say the same, give me a chance where I’m running onto a through ball with half the goal gaping, than standing over a still ball, with all the pressures a penalty brings. There is a place for stats in the game, 100% but they’re not the be all and end all like Twar makes out. I can only assume he has some form of disorder which means he is unable to critically think.

xG, in this case, is utter crap mate. It doesn’t factor in the variables. Like keeper positioning and time in the ball. Significantly easier chance than Adams. Both were what you’d expect a premier league player to score, however.

The keeper didn’t even save it, he didn’t need to, it was never going in and was extremely lucky to hit the post, such was the spin on the ball after he scuffed it. So I don’t understand the relevance in this respect. AA had so Much space he even time to take a touch and drill It in the bottom corner past the keeper.
