All this.
Southgate’s been good, but CB’s have been his blindspot.
10 England caps for error prone Michael Keane (constantly slagged off by Evertoninans), costly blunders for England. Tarkowski and Dunk are better.
Stones isn’t trusted by Guardiola, he’s being eased out, errors for England...
Imho:
Maguire - not perfect, but outstanding in many England performances.
Gomez - now a quality CB, with pace.
Tomori - pace, groomed for the future.
Then the hammer blow for Dunk:
Mings - hugely overrated, but Southgate annoyingly loves the player & his stand against the racists sealed his...
I expect to get shot down in flames, but I don’t rate Dunk, Keane or Stones for England. Each has clear deficiencies. Dunk was outplayed by Abraham, McBurnie and McGoldrick, plus he lacks pace. With Mings, he too has had many inept PL performances, but his stand against racism has sealed his...
Gomez - talented, but rarely starts PL matches.
Mings - continued flavour of the month for GS, he was never going to be dropped after his brave & eloquent stand against racists. But he’s still error prone, Villa fans still go on about this.
Stones - injury prone, always a big error in his game...
The media and WHUFC have talked Rice up this season, as a £80m to £100m player, quite possibly ready to sign for ManUre next summer. In watching live his performances against the Albion he’s a decent PL defensive midfielder, holding their play together, reasonable in keeping things simple in...
At least in the 90’s we had Gazza. So often England’s MOTM, a rarity of an English centre midfielder who could run games, instinctively creative, brilliant on the ball, heads-up football always playing forward, with a burst of pace to break forward himself.
Just now we have loads of workers...
Keane has 9 England caps.
We’ve returned to the Graham Taylor (rest his soul) era, where the likes of Carlton Palmer, Geoff Thomas and Andy Gray clocked up once treasured England caps.
True about Mount.
Barkley surprised me, outstanding in his recent England performances. Mount has a couple of good PL performances and he ousts the England man in international form.
Pathetic.
Irrational selections by Southgate this autumn. When he got the job, he said every position was up for grabs, based on merit. No square pegs in round holes.
Keane and Rose have been awful for ages, even their own club’s fans say so. Everton and Spurs both leaking goals for fun.
GS started...
What will loyal Southgate have to say about his CB’s? This is NOT a one off, Keane was shit in the last game too, costing another goal.
Come on Southgate, how’s about some honest reflection.
I often turn the sound down to blank the wnk-ish double act of Tyldesley and Hoddle. Tyldesley’s awful voice spouting inane crap, Hoddle always waffling on about side issues.
Not too bothered myself, but the pride on Dunk’s face when he was selected was a lovely moment for Albion fans. He’d obviously love that experience again, I hope it happens for him.
