If he keeps that up then he will be good enough for the squad. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's far from my favourite player but as long as he is in on merit then fair enough. 2 minutes ago, Huncho said: He has 5 goals and 2 assists from 7 matches.

He has improved from not playing at all prior to his move! Southgate said he wouldn't have been picked if everyone was fit but as he is fit and on form he got picked! Has he brought his smelly feet to your clinic or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate is desperate to pick him, he loves him No I haven't seen him in clinic, I've limited experience with footballers, just had one young lad who was at an academy that used to come every few weeks as was too worried to have the nail removed which takes 6-8 weeks to recover from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huncho Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 One player I really do have no idea how he’s got into team is Kalvin Phillips, like genuinely no idea. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The only way is S6 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 Sat chatting with step-son yesterday. Named this potential starting XI who weren’t involved on Thursday; Pickford TAA Walker Maguire Shaw Saka Rice Henderson Grealish Rashford Kane And there’s others. Plenty of choice for GS. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d guess the other 2 were being rested for the game midweek. I wouldn’t want Phillips anywhere near the Euros. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beswetherick Posted March 27, 2021 Share Posted March 27, 2021 IMO Rice is a far better choice for holding midfield than Philips. I wasn’t sure about Rice a year or two ago but he’s been class for West Ham this season and looks like a proper player. A midfield 3 of Rice, Foden and Bellingham has the potential to be something special, and obviously there are some really exciting options further up the pitch as well... if Stones and Shaw can keep their good form going, we can find a better centre half than Maguire, and get a proper manager, England have got the makings of a really decent side for the next few tournaments 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he mentioned before he would like to manage internationally and that he plans on retiring when still relatively young? What other projects would excite him, Juventus/another Italian team and another national team like Spain etc? I think he would enjoy working with our current/future players and has been working here since 2016 too, but we will probably stick with Southgate and people like him though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
