I don't imagine too many teams will be quaking in their boots over that squad.
― Kanye O'er Frae France? (Tom D.), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 13:57 (five years ago) link
i feel like this shower will be no worse than some of their more feted predecessors, largely because Southgate has some modicum of tactical nous
still coming home after the group, like

there's not many of these that would make the squad for any other top 20 ranked nation

I'd still have brought Emile Heskey tbf

Southgate has to pray Kane keeps fit.
― Kanye O'er Frae France? (Tom D.), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 14:13 (five years ago) link
there is a vague air of competence about this squad/enterprise? possibly misleading. doesn't seem like an abject disaster on paper for the first time in a while anyway. expectations extremely low still, of course.
― Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 14:13 (five years ago) link
you don't have your Steven Gerrards, your John Terrys, your talismanic figures who can grab the game by the scruff of the neck and show the world exactly how terrible and overrated they are on the biggest stage. that's probably got something to do with it.
― look I'm sorry it was only a joke (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 14:16 (five years ago) link
i think a few of these lads might squeeze into the polish, peruvian, swiss, colombian or tunisian squads
i am completely suspending any sense of expectation, judgement or other critical detachment abt this england side, I'm going all in

its a good squad from whats available, decisions seem based on logic and a team/squad focus for a change
obv talent isnt good and obv press and fans mean ye'll be out asap but still.
welbeck a funny pick
― gneb farts (darraghmac), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 14:38 (five years ago) link
Looks pretty bleak on paper once you get past the forwards. Difficult to see GK not being a massive problem again but it's not as though there's anyone else to pick.

Read this as 'welbeck a funny prick', thought steady on there, deems.

was kinda hoping for a team based around Shelvey pinging long balls for Vardy and Rashford but instead he's gone for dull Spurs competency. probably the right decision.

none of my teams are in the world cup (scotland are never, chile are usually, if chile aren't italy is the backup - I'm 1/16th italian mamma mia) so I'm backing england
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 16:35 (five years ago) link
yeah agree shelvey pinging long balls wld have been fun but i don't think many teams will play a high enough line to make it viable
― ogmor, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 16:37 (five years ago) link
(xp) No chance, I don't even like many of the players.
― Kanye O'er Frae France? (Tom D.), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 17:05 (five years ago) link
no wazza, no stevie g, no fat frank, no EBJT (he wasn't in the squad last time around admittedly), no joe hart. big improvement from the 3 lines
― ( ͡☉ ͜ʖ ͡☉) (jim in vancouver), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 17:09 (five years ago) link
The players are so dull and anonymous this time though.

Apart from Alli, who's a dick.
― Kanye O'er Frae France? (Tom D.), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 17:12 (five years ago) link
Who should have gone instead of Welbeck, Ashley Barnes?
5th choice forward is not a role with an abundance of names to pick from
― Number None, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 17:19 (five years ago) link
Shelvey definitely the most hard done by
― Number None, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 17:20 (five years ago) link
Shelvey earns everything he doesn't get
― look I'm sorry it was only a joke (Noodle Vague), Wednesday, 16 May 2018 17:25 (five years ago) link
the only interesting/long term attacking option wld have been sessegnon

Oh I don't feel bad for him or anything
― Number None, Wednesday, 16 May 2018 17:32 (five years ago) link
Sessegnon would have just been Walcott mk 2

some low key functional competency will be a refreshing change for England altho Ray Wilson appears to have died of outrage RIP

think bertrand over rose and smalling over jones but dont have too much a problem with the squad

xpsRIP Ray Wilson, fucking Ingerland class of sixty-yawn and ex corpse shagging funeral director, and bloody true legend according to our lot, cos he did national service in the Middle east and the cunt only ever earned 6 pounds of rabbit lard and a threepenny bit per week.
