[Football] England squad announcement - Lewis Dunk RECALLED!

[Seagull58]

Actually quite happy Dunk not starting. Need him ready for City on Saturday.
Also, would be very happy if Gross sits on the bench for Germany in the early morning as well.
As for Maguire, it is perverse that he thinks by going against popular opinion he is taking tough decisions. It is clear as per Henderson and Phillips Southgate is mistaking what loyalty is. Loyalty would have been quietly suggesting to Maguire in the Summer he should find a club who would play him and give him chance to prove he is worthy of a place in the England squad.

Which is exactly what Capello told Beckham when he went off to LA Galaxy, with the result that Beckham went to Milan on loan for 6 months and stayed in the team.

Lots of blue and white specs on tonight I see.

He’s made 11 changes so that we have totally fresh legs in the game that counts. That is absolutely spot on.

The issue is that Dunk should probably have played tonight instead of slabhead, who should have played Australia. Or, more to the point, that slabhead, Phillips and Henderson shouldn’t be in the squad full stop.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

The waistcoatwanker's pigheadedness is going to harm England sooner or later. The useless prat.

So you don't think it hasn't already in two tournaments?

 

[Kinky Gerbil]

This.
I really don’t get how Phillips gets in the team.

Pep players a RB and a CB ahead of him.

Says it all

 

[BN9 BHA]

Foden, Walker, Stones & Phillips to all run into each other in a freak accident please.

Phillips won’t be anywhere near the City starting 11 on Saturday

It does, but they also signed him when they had Rodri. Too much money at that club,

Pickford plays a short pass out of 50 yards

so basically Southgate picked the wrong side for the Aussies, similarly the game tonight because three of the players picked shouldn’t be anywhere near the squad. Apart from that he’s done a brilliant job ….. he’s a clown.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

I see Trossard is ref tonight.

That was down to incompetence, not pigheadedness. He's now added pigheadedness which is a dangerous mix.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Card for Phillips

 

[WhingForPresident]

Did we really need to play two holding midfielders against a weak Italy side, who look content to sit back?

Phillips could've had two bookings already.

 

[Weststander]

As Southgate’s said since day one, he selects on club form.

 

[Wardy's twin]

Being selfish keeping Dunk fresh for Brighton is the only result I am interested in.

 

[PILTDOWN MAN]

As Southgate’s said since day one, he selects on club form.

Suppose he never mentioned whether the form was good or bad.

It worked in the Euro20 final......oh.

 

[TottonSeagull]

It's already cost us a Euro and a World Cup trophy!

 

[Mr Bridger]

I know that, just don’t like him from his Leeds days and chucked him on the mix for light entertainment.
Plus 4 smashing into each other would ensure greater impact, 3 would just bounce of each other.

 

[pb21]

Just seen Slabhead has started ahead of Dunk

 

[Deportivo Seagull]

Has there ever been a worse Italian team than this one.
