England World Cup squad news

[Dexter]

Dan Burn going to the World Cup man

Genuinely rather take O’Nien than that lumbering idiot.

Let's look at it this way, previously managers have always picked the best players. ( On paper) and we've won nothing, so let's see how picking a squad that maybe revolves more as a team goes on.

Personally I agree with the omission of Cole and Foden and the inclusion of Toney.

I honestly think Toney could be an international star in the making, cocky, full of confidence and knows where the net is

While I agree with this on Toney, he’ll inevitably only get 5 mins max at the end of games and therefore not make the impact required. Not a criticism of Toney, just how international football plays out.

 

[CherryHenry]

Was he? Barely made it past the hour mark in the games he’s started and failed to deliver

He’s been awful, like playing with 10 men when he’s on the pitch. He had a couple of decent performances in the CL but my heart sinks when he’s brought on as sub

Thomas Tuchel. England manager. Edgelord.

 

[woodlebert]

I really rated Toney at Brentford, so I hope he's still the same player

 

[Visiting owl]

Toney should be nowhere near England squad been playing at a level thats barely above Sunderland Sunday morning league Dvision 5

He proved he can perform at the highest level, and was excellent when used, (criminally underused in my opinion) at the last Euros.

 

[Jasper]

Is Kane in? Or is David Nugent likely to be given the opportunity to add to his solitary cap?

Unfortunately I agree with you.

Obviously Kane is red hot and just world class and has to start.

Dan Burn man fuck off

 

[FoldingStars]

Arsenal barely missed Saka because Mudueke was playing very well.

Palmer and Foden are 2 of my favourite English players to watch on form. Amazing skill and version. The pair of them have been way below their previous form this season. Both can have no complaints for being dropped unfortunately.

After game week 11 he has played over 65 minutes in a premier league game 3 times, he’s scored 2 and assisted once. I’d argue he’s been average at best if you look at his stats but open to be educated.

Do any other top nations pick players solely because they are left footed? Nobody can argue Dan Burn has had a good season and should be in that squad on form or class, same with spence if he’s in. Toney is playing in a league that was rated worse than league 1 ffs.

Great idea by the FA to extend his contract

 

[El Gen]

mad that only City, Chelsea, United and Spurs will have produced more players in this squad from their academies

That was 2 years ago, he's been playing exhibition football since.

It’s a brave call this squad, because at the moment he’s made some potentially very poor decisions

Probably win us the cup now

lets be honest the ones everyone's arguing over most likely wont be stepping foot on the pitch unless there's a load of injuries , dunk, coady etc all been in previous tournament squads

defence is light if we get injuries granted but further forward the ones left out cant have any complaints in the cold light of day , has palmer/foden done enough to be ahead of bellingham/rodgers/eze this season?

 

[The Cabbage]

What's Madueke done to be deserving of a place? I'd rather have Bowen or Palmer

Out and out winger (so more suited to the specific role than Palmer) with pace who has had a decent season at the title winners. Meanwhile Bowen is about to get relegated and a not insignificant number of Hammers fans would say he's not had the best season. Also played nearly twice as many minutes as Madueke so may be at greater risk of fatigue. It wouldn't have been a massive surprise to see the choice go the other way, but it's hardly a travesty in my view.

cut again ?

I thought that the squad is reduced again shortly before the tournament, or is this the final number?

If Dan Burn gets any minutes on the pitch it will be a travesty.

 

[Smartin]

Welbeck best striker after Kane.

An Arsenal fan disagrees with you mate re decent season.
Also Palmer is very capable of playing that position and has done.

Decent enough indicator

Well claiming a penalty shootout win in a cup game against their U21s is a stretch for starters. And games were won despite him throwing one in our own net at SJP not because of it

Since you’re incapable of reading, it was me agreeing with someone saying he’d rather have onien than burn in said England squad

Fully capable of reading, ta…

“The only time we were successful was the playoff final when he was taken off injured almost immediately. Or the league one playoff final he was dropped for.”

O’Nien played the full 90 minutes.
