Match Day Thread General matchday thread.

No ... you keep him in and struggle through one of the easiest tournament groups you'll ever face ... look how much better we were the other night when Watkins came on ...

... and he's still won **** all at club level

 

Okay, so he still drives a Mercedes

 

You really think Watkins is better than Kane?

The trophy argument with Kane is boring. But seeing as you’ve brought it up. What has Watkins won?

 

Whether Watkins is better than Kane is irrelevant to the context of the conversation (he definitely isn't), it's the fact Southgate carried on picking Kane when patently either not fit or out of form, or both.

Everyone could see it but him.

It's as has been said, Southgate had his favourites and couldn't see past it, despite it being right in front of him. He kept picking him, and just hoping.

Have to assume Tuchel wouldn't do this. And that he'll pick players in position.

 

Well Watkins is still a kid ... for one thing...

I think that every Endland game I've seen in the last 6 months where Watkins has been brought on for Kane - England have looked much more fluid and dangerous after the change - if you don't - then your rose tinted glasses need de-misting ...

... and facts are facts - even if they are boring - he even managed to halt Bayern's 20 year consecutive run of trophy winning - no mean feat that!

 

Isn't Watkins in his late 20s?

 

How old do you think Watkins is?

 

You beat me to it.

 

Don't care mate - don't let maths get in the way of float fishing ffs

... and Maths is banned ain't he?

 

PS I've also absolutely no idea whether Bayern's run of trophies goes back 20 years

@Libby is probably checking right now

 

Isn’t Watkins turning 29 this year?

 

No idea. Didn't check anything on Watkins either just remember being shocked at how old he was when I saw it after his goal against the Dutch this summer.

 

^^^^^^^
Has already checked

 

Kane broke all sorts of records last year. The reason Bayern didn’t win the league isn’t because of him.

And does winning a league title (it’s inevitable) mean his career is legitimate?

 

Not difficult scoring in that league with that team behind you though.

 

... very difficult to avoid winning owt!

 

Weak argument

Why doesn’t everyone score the amount of goals Kane does then?

 

Leverkusen had an exceptional year tbf.

 

... because they don't take every pen and free kick?

 

It was like everything that could happen happened...











... including Bayern signing an occupational trophy Dodger!
