I would say Pickford as keepers are normally Number 1should be first name on team sheet tonight. These are the games he is made for. Phillips had a good first game but has faded. Need big game experienced players now

If Henderson hadn’t been injured at the end of the season he would have started the group games. Also, if it is southern bias why has Phillips started the tournament in the position that Henderson would have occupied if he was fully fit?Hendo is a very good Premier League player but the London media would rather have a southern based player in the England team.Rice is nowhere near as good as Hendo but for for some reason Southgate prefers to play one of the darlings of the London press.Mount looks canny but as another London media favourite,continues to be chosen over Grealish.Geography has always been an issue with England squads/teams.
Aaaah the "southern media bias" chip on the shoulder.Hendo is a very good Premier League player but the London media would rather have a southern based player in the England team.Rice is nowhere near as good as Hendo but for for some reason Southgate prefers to play one of the darlings of the London press.Mount looks canny but as another London media favourite,continues to be chosen over Grealish.Geography has always been an issue with England squads/teams.
He was good aye. Vast majority do not put in the amount of hard work required to be elite. I played football for hours a day growing up, but I didn't practice. Ronaldo used to put a tshirt on the floor and run at it to practice beating a man with different techniques for hours each day meaning his body knew what to do without even thinking about it, for example.Bollocks of course he was good. If it was purely hard work every one of us would be a footballer.
Because Gazza was world class. Henderson through hard graft has done very well and good luck to him but the way people go on about him is way over the top.
A fit Henderson is way better than the 2 midfielders on the park todayI don't get the love-in tbh.
I think he has done very well for himself and good luck to him but find him very limited, ability wise.
Average Premiership standard which is still excellent for a local lad.
To me he is the complete opposite of Gascoigne. Limited ability but a fantastic work ethic. Gascoigne had talent beyond belief but no discipline. If I had to chose one to dominate or change a game it would be Gascoigne every time.
Hope Ihe proves me wrong and scores a few against Germany.
Me, I'm comparing him to a world class England midfielder. I could have gone for Kroos or quite a few others. Henderson is decent but he's not world class as some on here seem to portray.But who has ever, ever, compared him to Gazza?
If anything this board will be the most critical place of Henderson. We've torn shreds out of better players than him.
World class is not exclusive to flair players who catch the eye. Players like Henderson do a lot of unseen work which only fellow professionals seem to appreciate. He was key to Liverpool’s success and gave the full backs licence to push forward as he would instinctively drop into cover. Ask anyone who has played with or against him and 9 out of 10 would say he is world classMe, I'm comparing him to a world class England midfielder. I could have gone for Kroos or quite a few others. Henderson is decent but he's not world class as some on here seem to portray.
Average? He's captained Liverpool to the league title, champions league and world club championship. What a thing to say.I don't get the love-in tbh.

As it turned out, Phillips was impressive with the passing range, involvement. A number of forward well weighted dinks to run on to.should be first name on team sheet tonight. These are the games he is made for. Phillips had a good first game but has faded. Need big game experienced players now

Have never understood why people do that when they play for England, I couldn't give a shit which club they play for.I was looking through facebook after the game (I know) and noticed a mag mate of mine had commented on some dumb womans post which only said “Knobhead Henderson coming on now,“. My mag mate replied that he was better than the other England midfielders, to which she responded that she couldn’t give a fuck. Now who calls who sad or obsessed again?
Some people are so bitter it kills them.
Well I used to celebrate like fuck when Shearer scored for EnglandHave never understood why people do that when they play for England, I couldn't give a shit which club they play for.
