Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

The aim of the England manager should be to constantly strive to improve the starting 11 and the overall strength of the squad between tournaments. That means some players will be replaced or fall down the pecking order. You don't get to keep the shirt until you suffer a mighty cock-up and potentially cost the team progress to the next stage of a tournament.

There also has to be balance in assessing players current levels of form and abilty based on club and international performances...it would be absolute folly to keep picking a player or players who are clearly in decline based on the never let us down criteria you imply.

 

That’s a lot of words to get to a conclusion that you don’t like him.

 

Not true...I don't dislike him.

Just time to give others their chance and then see where we are come tournament time

 

Draw was a fair result.

 

Pope isn’t good enough with his distribution.

Henderson isn’t first choice. Distribution and shot stopping make Pickford first choice.

 

He’s chatting absolute bollocks.

 

Sweet

 

Everton really struggling at the minute. Poor result from them.

Reckon Burnleh will have just enough to stay up.

 

Good result that for Everton, given they were behind.

 

Everton are a ****ing shambles of a club, it's like they're cursed. Players and managers go there off the back of promising careers, and slowly turn to ****.

 

with Iwobi at RB for 20 mins it shows how poor our squad is.

if only we had a billionaire owner........and a decent manager who will sort this out.
Godfrey was brilliant today.

 

no such thing as a curse/jinx.
Bad moves/manager choices etc. Yes.

all the ****e until Carlo rocked up is to blame on that billionaire.

will take Carlo 2-3 windows to sort this mess out for sure.

 

Don’t get carried away ffs. 66 years unbroken top flight status, hardly equates to a ‘shambles of a club’

I’d have thought you’d have got over Koeman by now like.

 

I dont think I Ever will. Man was a ****, didn’t want him, happy to see him go.
Never booed a man, never would be that bloke is a ****ehouse with an ego his managerial ability doesn’t back up

 

But what the Don wants the Don gets remember? including getting his arse handed to him by Steve Bruce and Sean Dyche

 

20 mins? He played there for an hour mate.

I don’t get why Nkounkou wasn’t on the bench tbh.

 

The fat twat was more interested in playing golf.

He brought in some absolute ****e.

 

mess a RWB for most. But I digress.
Agree, why not JJK and Nkounkou?

shows he either doesn’t rate/trust either. Also where is Gordon?

I expect a few out in jan and maybe one in. Tosun and Bernard are gone I think.
