Match Day Thread 2017/18 Premier League, Cups & Euro Watch

Deffo Southgate, he's obviously more restricted playing for England than his club.

I personally couldn't give a flying one how he performs for England or if he gets picked or not, but if he doesn't improve for club or country he might just find himself not picked for his country and Shanghai'd out of LFC.
He'll know he's not doing what he knows he can do so it's entirely up to him.

 

Just have a look at replays the ball really moved in flight. Keeper went one way and ball reversed on him.

Yeah he's a **** keeper and they are a **** side but it's still a spanking fine shot.

 

He must be terrified of Southgate so much that he plays only side and back(a slight exaggeration)

Surely Southgate can't be happy that Stones carried the ball forward more than his captain.

 

Yeah, Kane was rubbish.

 

Southgate probably uses that as a tactic to fool the opposition.

And the legions not England fans.

 

At least southgate had the balls to say england have no big players

He is right

none of them have yet won much of anything. If you look at it

Hart.. probaly most successful?
Cahill? won titles but would you call him a BIG player?
Rashford has 3 pots to his name already... maybe he will be a big player in a couple years when he's old enough?

thats about it.

Like wales have bale. you know he's the big player.

Southgate himself should admit he is not a big manager either.

 

We had a big manager.

Look where that got us.

 

Best win record.

 

Couthinho makes the ballon d'Or list, it's fake, otherwise Hendo would be on there.

Ballon d'Or 2017 shortlist so far

• Philippe Coutinho (Liverpool)
• Kevin De Bruyne (Man City)
• David de Gea (Man Utd)
• Paulo Dybala (Juventus)
• Edin Dzeko (Roma)
• Harry Kane (Tottenham)
• N'Golo Kante (Chelsea)
• Robert Lewandowski (Bayern Munich)
• Marcelo (Real Madrid)
• Dries Mertens (Napoli)
• Luka Modric (Real Madrid)
• Neymar (PSG)
• Jan Oblak (Atletico Madrid)
• Sergio Ramos (Real Madrid)
• Luis Suarez (Barcelona)

 

you employ him next after koeman then.

that'll teach you to make smart alec comments pretty quick.

 

National management is different. He had players like Henderson to call on.

 

lets face it, if minger had let that in you'd have been calling him **** all day long

 

yeah but that keeper is prob better than mingolet anyway so whats your point

 

Mingolet isn't a **** keeper. He is mid table type.

 

I'd agree with that.

Looked decent at Sunderland cause he had alot to do. More work means the clangers and weaknesses are lost in the multitude of saves.

Suppose when we bought him there was room for him to grow and potentially become a good keeper, but that hasn't happened. Need to look for someone better and with our defence it needs to be a proven GK really.

 

So... how Allen was taken out of it by the Irish tonight. One push in the back by that thug McClean and then the hull lad creamed him from the front. Off concussed.

It's a piss poor game.

 

Revenge for wee Seamus?

 

Doubt it. The hull lad look like he's just an awkward gobshite. McClean is a great so he could have been deliberately pushing him into another player

 

Ah well, wales came close. I doubt you will see wild celebration from the England squad that they didn't make it. Would have been nice to draw them or Iceland next summer.

 

The terrible tackle on Coleman in the reverse fixture made that a piss poor game from then on, Ireland would imo have won the game in Dublin which as it stands would have seen ROI qualify as group winners.
