owlinexile Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Might as well say that SWFC are pointless and should pack it in since we are never going to seriously challenge for anything ever again. All these national teams are the most important to their supporters. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adem Poric Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 "They should have a league of their own where they compete against other rubbish teams" - One of the reasons the Nations League was brought in. Next time there are Nations League fixtures - "I dont understand why they are playing these extra fixtures, Nations League is rubbish and helps no one".

Adem Poric Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Anyway, who wants to try to pick a squad for next year? Attacking wise we probably have the most potential of any team in Europe with our young players. Defensively we probably have the best attackers of any team in Europe with our fullbacks. Actual defenders, not so much but Harry Maguire likes putting his hands behind his ears... Any late inclusions that people think will be in the final squad? Gallagher looks like an excellent footballer as does Smith-Rowe but we have so much talent in the middle of the park it may be there is no space for them. Hopefully over the next year GS builds his team around Bellingham and Foden. With those two dictating play and a fully fit and in form Harry Kane we will have a chance.

flo Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Squad size is 23 at World cup compared to 26 in the Euros so even harder decision. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 Ramsdale, Johnson, Pickford, Pope Walker, TAA, Maguire, Coady, Mings, Chillwell, James, Stones, Shaw, Trippier, White, Keane, Tomori Phillips, Bellingham, Rowe, Gallagher, Henderson, Rice, Mount, Ward Prowse, Lingard, Saka, Kane, Foden, Abraham, Sterling, Grealish, Rashford, Sancho, Greenwood, Calvert Lewin, Bamford, Watkins I believe this is all the players in and around the squad, playing regular football, try cutting that down for size! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adem Poric Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 What's that, 38 players? So need to knock 15 off. Johnstone, White, Keane, Lingard, Bamford, Watkins. Only nine more to go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Adem Poric Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 You've only got three centre halfs and Trent is in twice. Also, imagine being Jadon Sancho right now, one of the most talented young players in the world who should be in every squad. He's probably desperate for OGS to get sacked.

Adem Poric Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I think instead of one of the TAA's you will have meant Reece James, right? Also, i'm not taking Trippier in a squad of 23. Very solid but we have so many other options it's a waste of a pick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adem Poric Posted November 16, 2021 Share Posted November 16, 2021 I think if Greenwood gets his head right he would also be in my squad over Abraham. Only one I cant decide on is Saka or Sancho. I think Sancho is better but Southgate probably has more trust in Saka to be consistent. Ramsdale, Pickford, Pope Walker, TAA, Maguire, Mings, Chilwell, Stones, Shaw, James, Tomori (he's been amazing for Milan and I'd take him over Coady) Phillips, Bellingham, Henderson, Rice, Mount Kane, Foden, Greenwood, Sterling, Grealish, Saka/Sancho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted November 16, 2021 Author Share Posted November 16, 2021 I think GS likes to pick players who can multi task. As ER says, there's only HK who doesn't do another role, plus any keepers. The groups mentioned above show how thin on the ground we are for proper strikers if anything were to happen to HK.

If you take him you have one less centre back. yeah, if DCL is fit then he's probably going to be in the squad and I dont think Abraham or Greenwood will be. I just think Greenwood is going to be on the Foden/Bellingham must pick level soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edmontonowl Posted November 17, 2021 Share Posted November 17, 2021 Not England but at half-time over here. 6 games to go yet but if it stays like this Alphonso Davies' Canada will qualify for 2022. Snow and -10C too 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pope, Pickford, Ramsdale James, TAA, Walker, Maguire, Stones, Coady, Guehi, Chilwell, Shaw Mount, Henderson, Rice, Phillips, Bellingham, Forden Rashford, Sterling, Saka, Grealish, Kane Reserves Abraham, Gallagher, Sancho, Trippier, Tomori, Johnstone, Greenwood Have can't take as many RBs with only 23, and the lack of depth at CB is a worry, but we look healthy in all other areas these days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way is S6 Posted November 17, 2021 Author Share Posted November 17, 2021 It’s times like this we should appreciate what GS is doing. WC semi, Euro final, both tournaments qualified for with ease & he’s done it again for Qatar. None of the nerve jangling play-off tension hanging over us until March, then 2 cup finals to deal with. We’ll be cruising through 2 friendlies at Wembley ️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
