East Kent Saint Posted 5 June, 2022 Share Posted 5 June, 2022 looked like a load of dead horses being flogged in a pointless competition , roll on a ridiculous world cup held at the wrong time of year . Time for players revolt before the game is ruined for ever. See Rugby to see where it's going , soon be franchise American style sports , 22 players constantly changing places on the pitch during a 3 hour game . A new definition of closed doors , once the ground id 60% full close the doors . 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rooney Posted 5 June, 2022 Share Posted 5 June, 2022 The Leicester lad was played as a wing back yet Maguire kept passing either sideways or backwards across the opposite side of the park. He had no left vision at all. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't play 5 at the back with 2 CDM's against Hungary with the squad we've got. We clearly have an abundance of midfield quality but instead we're starting with two right backs. I don't understand the logic. Agreed. My mind is made up on him and has been for a while. He's an awful manager tactically, and has no clue how to switch things up and when to go on the offensive etc. England will win nothing with him and that has been more than demonstrated by the last 2 tournaments for me. 🤷♂️ Edited 5 June, 2022 by Saint86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlexLaw76 Posted 5 June, 2022 Share Posted 5 June, 2022 Not sure how we lost when we had the 2nd greatest ever player on the pitch - Alexander-Arnold. He is only the 2nd greatest ever, after - funnily enough, another Liverpool player - Virgin van Djik 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That should be his primary job, or maybe he should just become a winger. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s the darling of the Liverpool biased media because he’s a young scouse lad playing for them so they’re desperate to talk him up. I don’t rate him that highly either, he always gets found out against the top teams. I’ve just been away with a Liverpool fan who was going on about how great he was and he knows as he watches him every week (on the telly of course) didn’t like it when I pointed out how he looks brilliant against poor teams when Liverpool steam roller them but exposed when he’s got to defend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holmes_and_Watson Posted 5 June, 2022 Share Posted 5 June, 2022 Turned the radio on while making tea, and the first caller said Bale should play for a mid table Prem club like... Brentford. But no reason it can't be us. Will Bale want to go up against top opposition in the run up to the world cup, in the Prem. Or would he be happier at the still competitive level of Cardiff, confident he can step up when required? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Kraken Posted 5 June, 2022 Share Posted 5 June, 2022 Welcome home Gareth….. A while ago I’d have thought Tottenham would be nailed on for him. But with Kane, Son and Kulusevski they’ve already got a very good front three (assuming they keep them together). Still a good option for them and him though. If he doesn’t go to spurs I’m struggling to see where Bale may end up, he’s imo still good enough for nearly all squads in the PL. I think it’ll need to be a bigger team in the division though, he can’t and won’t start every game, I think for spurs he came on as sub just as many times as he started. Saints would want him starting every game, which imo makes us a less attractive proposition for him. And I don’t see going to Cardiff or a team in the Championship.

JCBSaint Posted 7 June, 2022 Share Posted 7 June, 2022 Germany v England tonight and yep you guessed it, fans arrested , singing war songs, bunch of cretins , why is it always football? The whole European Cup final debacle in Paris aswell, that time more the organisation, if you can call it that, I had no probs when watching England play rugby there, it’s just football.

Not really overthinking it but i suppose generally in the broad context of playing for a "big club" that helps you in an international stage. Just think its clear where JWP is in the pecking order and not more he can do whilst at saints. Not saying it would work, more that he couldnt be blamed for wondering Phillips is being linked to top clubs in a way JWP isnt (it seems from what ive seen in rumours) so maybe we're missing something Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame really Agreed sadly. Despite having arguably the best season of any English central midfielder, he finds himself 4th choice - possibly 5th if you assume Henderson is going. Philips presumably preferred becuase Southgate only sees a big defensive lump and that's the extent of his tactical requirements. Feels verh harsh on JWP.
