Guest Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 What's the issue? He's our Under 21 keeper. Better to give him experience in the squad than go and pick a 5th-6th choice keeper in his late 20s who'll never be called up again. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
xLiaaamx Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 I doubt we'd burst out laughing if they chose the other under 21 keeper tbf. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mole_Toonfan Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 What's the issue? He's our Under 21 keeper. Better to give him experience in the squad than go and pick a 5th-6th choice keeper in his late 20s who'll never be called up again. He has a grand total of zero PL appearances and just 11 pro appearances, it's utterly ridiculous and i hate to be that guy but he's only being picked because of who he's contracted to.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 That lad who plays for Burnley would be a better option to call up, playing regularly (and well) at a better level. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaizero Posted November 10, 2017 Share Posted November 10, 2017 Why do you need to call up a third keeper for a friendly anyway? Think you have to call up three keepers due to FIFA rules or something. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's been a regular for Norwich and pretty much taken over from Pickford as the Under 21 keeper.Not sure what the problem is or indeed what it's got to do with Man City.

Altamullan Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 If Rafa has his way, Abraham and Loftus-Cheek would have been the first Newcastle players (loan) called up since, Carroll? Or perhaps Townsend? We were also strongly linked with Maguire, but he might have been on our NO pre-Lejeune wish list, rather than a serious Rafa target.

54 Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 There has to be a reason he's not getting called up. Solanke has barely played this season. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Southgate lives in Greendale the thought of picking a personality like Jonjo just wouldnt sit well. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were needing something a little bit different for these games.” We needed something a little bit different, so I've brought 3 defensive midfielders. The bloke is an absolute plum.

Figures 1-0 Football Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 Dominic Solanke and his 85 minutes of substitute appearances this season. Fucking hell Lewis Cook has only played 4 games for Bournemouth ffs, how fantastic could he have been in those 4 appearances. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kimbo Posted November 11, 2017 Share Posted November 11, 2017 There's obviously a heavy bias towards his old England youth team players, and whether they're doing anything for their clubs isn't of much concern. It looks stupid and maybe St Georges Park will start looking like a little club, but I suppose it is different. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
sbnufc Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Lewis Cook has only played 4 games for Bournemouth ffs, how fantastic could he have been in those 4 appearances. Didnt even play the full 90 in 2 of them Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Incognito Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 I'd go as far to say that Hayden should be getting called up before Lewis Cook. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Howaythetoon Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 It baffles me how much criticism an England team selection can draw. People piss and moan when the same old managers get the same old jobs, and yet here we have the England manager calling up unknowns and prospects and not the usual suspects or players he could easily call up. I liked what I saw against Germany the other night from what I watched, we seem to have a crop of good young players, nothing great, but decent enough for this level which I feel is a standard below the CL these days, even at World Cup level. I wouldn't have went for Southgate personally at the time who may be a good coach and a good man, but I feel he lacks character to turn a decent team into a winning one, but he's young, English and seems to be doing OK and therefore I want him to do well. Even if only just to break the never ending cycle of managers like Big Sam, Moyes, Pardew, Hughes et al. Ironically I think Shelvey would look good at international level as he will have more time and space, and I'm sure his call up will come if he keeps playing well for us. It does make me wonder though about some player call ups, whether it's agent driven to add an extra few bob to their players' value in the transfer market. Abraham and Loftus Cheek for example will probably cost a club 20m or more each regardless of how well they do for their clubs now that they are a full England international. The England senior team has a good future though it appears. Sometimes a team doesn't need superstars or great players, it just needs to be a good team and thee is no denying England are a good team, even the 'B' team and obviously the youth teams what with their success.

Guest neesy111 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Agree with the piss and moaning, it's ridiculous people complained about England picking the same players etc in the past, do something different and same moans for different reasons. People are seeing Shelvey's inclusion with massive black and white specs on imo. He's been nothing but average for me this season for us since he got back into the team imo and if England are wanting to play a passing game, then he's not what you want with his hollywood style passes.
