It looked exactly like you described. We seemed to stand off them & they had twice the speed & skill. I honestly thought when we conceded that last free kick they would equalise.

beswetherick Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Looks like he’s going with 3 at the back then, sacrificing one of our quality attacking options to fit in another defender… and leaving us very light in midfield Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
442 Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Ben White head and shoulders above Mings & Coady. Can also provide cover for defensive midfield. Right addition for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right addition for me. Ward Prowse works his socks off, can pick a pass, land a cross on a sixpence & take a great direct free kick. All about opinions innit? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HIGHERSTATE Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 That was boring as hell. Luckily it was just a friendly. Spose we can rely on Grealish's penalty winning (situation manipulating?) techniques. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's an amazing footballer. Hope when the opposition tires we bring him on and let him wander in and out from the wings and just get involved.

SiJ Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Ben White is a good player, but I'd have called up JWP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That might be true, but begs the question why our esteemed manager called up Coady and Mings ahead of him? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. White has looked steady enough in the past couple of games (against very average opposition) but if he gets a game ahead of Coady and Mings now, it makes a bit of a mockery of his selection when JWP was arguably the best player on the pitch in the first half yesterday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ellis Rimmer Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 I think he’s been helped by Henderson’s fitness too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Thought Henderson looked well off the pace yesterday, and that penalty was almost as bad as Southgate’s against Germany Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's played 45 minutes in the last three months. Even a player as naturally fit as Henderson needs more time to get up to speed. Even if he was fully fit, I'd have still got JWP in for his set plays and industry. Instead, we've added another CB, which suggests to me Maguire has little chance of being fit until the latter stages, if at all. May also point to the fact he's not confident if we have to rely on Mings/Coady as a pairing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bez Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 White call up shows Maguire won't feature in the group stages. Mings looked poor so hope he doesn't start. But why call up Mings/Coady and then feel the need to bring White in? Seems Sir G knows he made a selection mistake with Mings. JWP should have gone. Southgate clearly feels Henderson has that spot but can you really expect much from him so soon?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SiJ Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 Should have been JWP. Arguably, the best deadball specialist in the PL atm. We don't exactly look like scoring much from open play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markg Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 JWP should be in the squad, very good player not just from set pieces either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SiJ Posted June 7, 2021 Share Posted June 7, 2021 It's classic England though. Calling up players well short of match fitness. Do it all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
