[Football] England squad announcement - Lewis Dunk RECALLED!

[rogersix]

I think that Messi bloke was quite experienced though.

My point is - you can’t just throw in a new CB pairing with no international experience for a qualifier. 8 caps, most in friendlies is all the others have

southgate is the reason why there are no alternative, experienced, cb's

You can we are playing a lower championship team at best

Have you been on the sherry today? your certainly making a fool of yourself in many eyes.

It’s one of the only sensible posts on this thread.

With a £100M+ winger, £40M+ CB ?

Did anyone expect Dunk to start? It wouldn't shock me to see a Dunk - Colwill partnership against Scotland. I think Southgate sees Colwill as the future LCB and who better to play alongside him on his debut than his partner last season.

I don't understand people who refuse to support England because Southgate has made a call they don't like. I'm far more pissed off that Foden is on the bench and Henderson is on the pitch

I refuse to support England because of Southgate plain and simple. He's a failed league manager and is completely devoid of any meaningful tactics.

I’m watching it purely because I’m desperate for football. When do Germany play? More interested in Pascal making his debut

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

The rest are only "inexperienced" because Southgate won't play them. At some stage you have to take a little risk. At this rate we'll be relying on Maguire in the 2026 World Cup, as no-one else will have any experience!!

100 percent

He's picking the same old as a barrier around him for protection.

 

[dejavuatbtn]

Seem to be lacking the type of player who can thread a ball from defence to the final third.

Maguire isn't good enough, I have no idea why people still defend him.

If Ukraine are not the side to blood newer players, who are?

 

[A mex eyecan]

I wouldn’t trust him to manage a tea party. He’d only pick his favourite spam sandwiches & jam sponge cake.

but only if they were stale and past their best before date

Ok Wales a team that for decades would struggle in League 1 had Bale

But it isn't Southgate United. It's England. I disagree with picking Henderson (and Maguire by the way), but I want to be wrong

 

[Horses Arse]

Luckily for you Scotland should qualify for Euro 24 so you can support them in that. Enjoy mowing the garden after the group stages when we’re still going

Haha, that may well be the case but England will f up yet again. They are hopeless.

The football is so dull, so pedestrian, dire. With flashes of brilliance from some very talented players.

Southgate like a millstone around these players necks. He's got to go, desparate waste of the players talent.

 

[Carlos BC]

I am not used to seeing football played this way, seems very slow.

 

[Perkino]

I thought Maguire would play and am surprised that Guehi got the nod over Colwill. But Henderson ahead of Foden is baffling

You're right that's why he has to f*** off

Yes. More than half of those who replied to the poll.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Maguire is such a shit footballer, like a 1970s centre half, he restricts our play by his pedestrian build- up. Almost every pass is a 10 yarder to a fellow defender. This is dull. And slow. Edit 1- 0 Ukraine. This is on you Southgate. Maguire and Guehi practically inside one another while Zinchenko strolls through the space to sidefoot home.

There's some grainy old film about somewhere
