Is that it ? Is that all you can muster as a response.

Lingard is the stereotypical English hyped mid level player , perfect for those traditional clubs that battle relegation and perfect for a low level manager like Southgate

I'm afraid my time would be wasted as you would simply not comprehend what was said.

So I'll keep it simple for you

Personally I'm glad to see Lingard doing well now - had a difficult time recently at Man Utd so a change has kick-started his career again.

But midfield and up front are where England aren't lacking in options so, despite his current good form, he's not going to get in ahead of the others Southgate has at his disposal.

Much more likely, I like lingard but options ahead

However his form has earned him the right for a recall

 

[Pin-seeker]

Old guard ?! What are you dribbling on about now ?

The best players should go to a tournament - the most talented players with a manager that will get the best out of them , but it won’t happen and sub standard players like Lingard , Rice and Dier will go because the manager still hangs onto to his lucky break in 2018 - but when England flop once again they might actually go and source a top quality manager who could best make use of the talent England has. Hopefully all the Liverpool players gets a nice summer off

So you’ve got your knickers in a twist because a player from a current mid table team,who is currently out of if form,isn’t being selected.
But then you hope he gets a summer off??‍

Are we annoyed a right back from a mid table team hasn't made the squad?

Come on, we all know mid table is 8th-12th.

Liverpool comfortably above that in 7th

Yes I agree with you he deserved a place on his form.
But how did Sterling get a game.?

Chelsea are holding the door open for West Ham and Spurs.
Could it be that, at the end of the season, West Ham are London's number one side.
Surely not.
That would be funny though.
Chelsea 2 v 5 West Brom.
Can big Sam possibly do it, could he?

I think it will be too little too late for Sam. Shame because would show a few people how good a manager he actually is. Gets performances out of players .. knows his job and does it well . Just not a fashionable manager

With regards to west ham I think 6th is best we can hope for

Have you not been watching TAA lately Phil??‍

I have and probably the worst right back who has been involved with England lately he’s just not a defender,great at crossing though.

Totally and he’s fresh having not had a full season.
One reason we always struggle in big tournaments,even Klopp has said so after the season all the players are knackered.

Looks like they aren't bothering with VAR at Elland Road today!

 

[davemc1]

Just seen the Chelsea score ??

 

[Lord Tyrion]

De Bruyne's pass for the second goal was a thing of beauty. 2 Leicester players put on their backsides, both cm's from picking it off but slipping past them. Perfectly placed and weighted. Sterling tried to mess it up but thankfully the goal the pass deserved came. What a player he is.

 

[clubchamp98]

Yes I would agree with you.
But he normally plays as a midfielder he’s so forward.
He gives us great width on the pitch with Robbo on the other side.
But as an out and out defender he’s very average.
I think it’s why Southgate dosnt play him much as he’s so defensive minded as a manager.

Ok line up from Arsenal tonight. If Saka and ESR are not fit.
Might have picked Elneny over Ceballos, but not much else given what is available.

might have picked Cedric at right back too

 

[fundy]

[fundy]

didnt think it was possible to be as bad as we were against west ham 1st half but we have been at least were not 3 behind i guess

Tierney injured again sigh

 

[USER1999]

Just turned it on, in time to see the Liverpool goal. Great.

 

[USER1999]

Now 2, I am a Jonah.

 

[fundy]

Now 2, I am a Jonah.

not sure youre the problem lol, another utterly bereft performance from a bunch of players who look barely interested, in a formation that clearly doesnt work with the players on the pitch, but that the manager is clearly sticking with whatever is in front of him
