[Football] England squad announcement - Lewis Dunk RECALLED!

[WhingForPresident]

I think the ref had a good game.

She was very good. Didn't fall for a lot of the soft nonsense a lot of refs do and let the game flow.

 

[Swegulls]

Solid performance from Dunk!

 

[nicko31]

Thought Dunky was pretty good. One misplaced pass to his right 2nd half and a couple of headers he could have got nearer, but classic Dunk block 1st half and some good passes too especially one to Foden which set up an England break (squandered as were most of them!).

I agree. She had a decent game and kept out of the headlines. Nobody's talking about her.

You can't ask for any more than that. Well, you can. You can ask that all the male refs can do the same thing.

 

[Napper]

No one wanted that game . Players playing half pace .

Not much to judge . I’m sure we will be tournament ready again under Southgate

 

[Winker]

Do we think Dunk is going to play versus Italy then?

Hopefully he'll be rested for next Saturday, but yes, he should be playing.

Highest on Beeb website

He looked in total control with and without the ball.

Other than his Dad, who would’ve known when the kid started at Withdean?

 

[dwayne]

90 mins for Dunk almost guarantees he’s not in Southgate’s plans for Italy.

Good. F England

Thought she was very good. I liked her no nonsense booking of Irvine for his volley of abuse.

So many of our EPL referees try to be “mates” with the top players. She acted as if she’d never heard of them.

Now go and do the ironing love

 

[Hendrax]

If he isn't picked for Italy, then shame on the whole set-up. It'll completely discourage players about their chances of playing in a major tournament, at least whilst waistcoat wanker is in charge.

Dunk was decent enough, that was a fantastic block on the line. But he only played it forward a couple of times at the most. England were so laboured and leaden, stroking it round the back it just didn't have the snap we're used to seeing at BHA, probably because Johnston clearly isn't comfortable with the ball at his feet. The buildup was so s-l-o-w, nobody was breaking the lines in midfield. Bowen was non-existent, nothing came off for Grealish, Gallagher is quite clearly NOT an international, and as for Henderson...what the f*ck he is still doing in an England shirt absolutely baffles me.

It was such a shit game, they actually managed to make 81,000 people sound like a half-empty Madejski.

I'm not sure why she gave England a free kick after Gallagher stamped on an Ozzy leg in the first half, he should have gone for two yellows.

You know the outcome already.

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Solid performance from Dunk!

Just one misplaced pass. A goal save. Two very incisive long passes.

How the poor bastard adapts to Southgate's lack of tactics is beyond me, though.

 

[Hendrax]

done, get voting people.

 

[Pavilionaire]

Dunk's 7.09 rating on BBC webiste ahead of everyone, inluding matchwinner Watkins on 6.49 and TAA 6.09. Everyone else 4s and 5s. He couldn't have done more. MOTM for me.

I also enjoyed seeing him and Colwill playing together again. Good debut for Levi, great to see.

Voted with my IPad, and thought I’d just experiment with my phone.

It was obvious after 5 minutes that Johnstone should not have been on the pitch. In fact, should not of been on the pitch (that's me being 'inclusive')

If you want to deal with the low block you need Dunk, Stones and Colwill in a 3. And tell them to play clever, like Dunk can.

He was wasted in that defense, because the tactics were absent. Spare man half the time.

They always say that England are not as good as the top 'division 1' sides. That now includes Brighton.

If only Venables hadn't been a bit fly, and a bit racist in his selections. . . . what a coach, though. <sigh>

looks like my daughter and wife have just voted too. Odd as they don't follow the sport.
