IWEDFM Posted October 24, 2022 Share Posted October 24, 2022 Rashford shouldn't be anywhere near the 23 IMO. He's decent in patches but so inconsistent. Abraham and Toney on current form should be included 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Suddenly looking weak at in the wing back positions with James, Walker and Chilwell all out. Trent and Shaw haven’t been brilliant this season. Trippier the best choice for a position which you would have said is our strongest. Imagine he will have to take another left back now. Sessegnon at Spurs, Justin at Leicester, Cresswell at West Ham or Mitchell at Palace. I’d go with Cresswell personally. Underrated player.

Abraham and Toney on current form should be included Different sort of player though. If we want to play on the counter, Rashford is probably the best striker we have for that. Has pace and can play off the shoulder. Toney and Abraham too similar for me. And we already have Kane who is the centre forward type leading the line. I think I’d go with Kane, Toney, Rashford and Sterling as striker options. Think we only need four, rather we take an extra midfield/creative player instead. Harsh on Abraham who is doing well in Italy, but realistically how much game time is he going to get. And Toney is absolutely ice cold from the penalty spot, so is an asset to the squad in that sense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toney should be included but he was called up to the last couple of nations league fixtures which were dead rubbers and Southgate didn't even use him which was utterly pointless given neither match had anything riding on it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skyline Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Read something Yesterday, might have been from Carragher but it was spot on. This WC is a joke, we all know that. But for players all it takes is one little niggle that keeps them out for 2-3 weeks and they miss the whole thing. At least during normal times players get a good 4 week break to recover. Regain fitness etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danblakemore Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 This winter world cup is doing great so far - loads of top players will be unfit to play there. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bannofan Posted November 3, 2022 Share Posted November 3, 2022 Bit of panic at Premier League level now, they are wanting to postpone the last round of premier league fixtures scheduled before the World Cup. I mean, if you are a player in PL desperate to go to the WC, you are not going to want to be playing a PL match seven days before the first game, which is what is happening now. You'll nesh every challenge, we are talking levels way above Adam Reach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind one starting 7 days after the final round of games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, if a player didn't want to go to the WC for whatever reasons - and I'm sure there are some that are not keen but don't have the confidence to make themselves unavailable for selection - picking up a mysterious injury might just be the escape route they are looking for.

For more and more, international football seems an inconvenience. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FreshOwl Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Tbf the people complaining about a winter World Cup are the same people who have complained about the World Cup being in the summer as the players are tired after a long season.

WalthamOwl Posted November 5, 2022 Share Posted November 5, 2022 Not saying they all are but I wonder if some of these players out injured for different teams are actually as injured as they are making out. Perhaps a few would rather say they are injured than go to a very controversial tournament. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
