Did Arteta help Lewis-Skelly by hardly playing him and when he finally did it was in midfield?

 

Tino's barely played. Gordon's barely played. It's nonsense that him not playing as much lately is a factor.

Can't say I'm surprised at all really. Tuchel is a dull defensive minded manager.

 

Now it's time for a real tournament with big stakes he's showing his true colours.

 

The one surprise for me is that he hasn't taken Maguire as he's a huge set piece threat.

This is true, but we are picking players like Henderson as a cheer leader though.

I suspect Dan Burn will fall into the cheerleader category too.

Was talking to Hendersons dad yesterday, Jordan was told 3 weeks ago he was going 

Nice bloke Brian for an ex copper 

 

Wonder if Burn knew he was already in which is why Eddie felt safe to leave him on the bench the weekend just gone

Not really. Like I say, the players may compliment one another or perhaps gel better together or whatever. The proof will be in the pudding. I'm not saying he has got it right or he has got it wrong, but the focus shouldn't simply be whether he's took all the best players that's all. We had the "golden generation" and we've had multiple years of thinking we had the most talented squad but won nowt losing out to German sides and other sides with perceived lesser squads.

I get what you're saying and agree when it's the team, no dispute there. It's also nothing new, Southgate did the same and turned England into more of a club. What's baffling here is that this is the squad where you would expect there to be a degree of versatility needed.

 

That's before getting onto form and injuries, like with Tino.

Must be missing something with Lewis-Skelly, as I don't think he's particularly close to Hall's level from what I've seen. I must be wrong.

Feel for Hall like, he's almost a complete player and some of his performances this season have been genuinely outstanding. He's really improved defensively this season and his ball carrying ability and press resistance is as good as you will see anywhere in world football in his position.

Gibbs-White missing out (if true) is a poor decision too, he's a match winner.

Bringing wor Dan Burn for that.

 

Don't think Lewis-Skelly will go. He's got back in the Arsenal team as a CM no?

Personally I couldn't give shit about England. Having to cheer Pickford because he's saved a penalty, fuck that like! Or that twat Kane when he scores.

 

NUFC and only NUFC for me. The other teams are immaterial.

Appreciate its about a team rather than a squad, and over the years we've had/picked the "best" players and its not worked, but it seems mental to me that Gibbs-White, Bowen and Hall aren't in, yet the likes of Skelly, Henderson and Maduaeke are.

 

Hopefully it pays off, and to be fair you look at teams that win tournaments there are random players in the line up, but this is the first tournament where there is a last 32, so its one where you're going to really need a squad more than ever, not just a decent 11. Doesn't fill me with confidence.
