England simply don't have that and until he goes we'll get nowhere. Explain what you saw in playing Trent cente mid instead of James Ward Prowse (for example) and how a 1-1 draw with North Macedonia is a potent for future success. And how did Italy get on in Qatar?

KrolMong Posted November 20, 2023 Share Posted November 20, 2023 A very odd mix of displays. Some bad, some poor and some good performances. And some really bad refereeing. We should be walloping teams like that, didn’t create enough and in terms of attacking threat only Foden looked capable. Grealish, Saka and Maguire were just plain bad. Felt sorry for TAA because he was told to fill the gaps that were being left by Saka and Walker, which stifled that right foot of his. I do like Rico Lewis, he’s another who will be a superstar, his reading of the game is exceptional… but, we need to get a left back fit.

Explain what you saw in playing Trent cente mid instead of James Ward Prowse (for example) and how a 1-1 draw with North Macedonia is a potent for future success. I think we have a new issue. Southgate has adopted a system that we all know will work. He’s now utilising players in what we would class as their best positions. He can go for it and play Bellingham next to Rice or play him behind Kane. He’s got his idea of who is wide forwards are and he’s accepted that Foden has to play somewhere in that three behind Kane… But… we have a problem at centre half. Stones is now picking up knocks every other week, and that leaves a load of centre halves who can’t face a team that presses and are not willing to defend high up the pitch. Dunk can do it but isn’t the most mobile, Colwill needs games at centre half. I will never be convinced by Tomori despite the hype. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s got his idea of who is wide forwards are and he’s accepted that Foden has to play somewhere in that three behind Kane… Problem Southgate has is what if Bellingham and Kane both pick up injuries that take them out of that system. Watkins and Wilson can't play the same role as Kane and Rashford can't. The closest you're going to get is Toney but I doubt he'd get picked. So Southgate would have to change system and these last two matches, with Bellingham being injured, would have been an ideal opportunity to try out different things. Watkins is Vardyesque in his ability to break a line and run on so play to that. Or ignore a recognised striker and play an interchangeable 3 like City did before Haaland's arrival. Boden and Grealish would be used to playing that. Instead Southgate sticks to the same ideas expecting Watkins to be Kane and dragging him for Kane when it doesn't work. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes us look competent I was there last night. Shrewsbury were never in it, in open play, and needed the gifts that County gave them. But they were shocking slips. For some reason County also fielded a weakened team. I know they had a hard game against Crawley on Tuesday but Williams wouldn't have turned that team out if it had been a league game. Another misjudgement from a manager as they had a great chance to get into the 3rd round as Shrewsbury were there for the taking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Said already, this league isnt stuffed with top quality, but there are a few teams and players that are difficult to beat. A decent Championship quality striker that can get 15-20 goals and we would be comfortable. I mean apart from the fact that XM was clueless, DR could have us in touch with the Huddersfield if hed started the season depsite our poor signing/ squad.

KrolMong Posted December 2, 2023 Share Posted December 2, 2023 I had us in the laptop and the pigs on the TV. They are toss, Burnley should have got 9 or 10. This pigs team don’t have one player good enough for the division. No pace, no power, no physicality, and no players with nouse. Burnley rolled them today and barely broke sweat. It’s worth adding, the pigs net spend was about 60 million, and they have around a 40 million quid wage bill. They don’t have anything in the way of a crown jewel to sell.
