Beren Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 I feel like Lascelles didn't put a foot wrong the entire fucking season. It's odd that he's not guaranteed a place. I know. I can barely remember a mistake he's made. Not even English and I'm rattled. It's crazy. We go from losing every single game to prolonged top half form entirely based on his presence. For a 22 year old he's ridiculously influential yet he barely even had any hype from the press in the same way Shelvey has a bit lately. his omission is far worse than Shelvey's especially given the paucity of talent at the position. Harsh on Lascelles but hopefully means he can stay another year so we can hit that sweet, sweet zenith of eighth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harsh on Lascelles but hopefully means he can stay another year so we can hit that sweet, sweet zenith of eighth. Well, Lascelles doesn't really offer anything different to the CBs that are going (except perhaps being more vocal and obviously being fucking mint), Shelvey on the other hand offers something no one else in the squad can, which makes his omission much worse IMO. Having the option to bring Shelvey on to spray passes out to the fullbacks (as we haven't got any bloody wingers, I assume the fullbacks will be very high up the pitch) and balls behind to Vardy sounds like a much better plan B than chucking Fabian bloody Delph on and hope he can do something.

Hanshithispantz Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 Southgate also snubbed Joe Hart but insisted that the goalkeeper could still fight his way back into England’s squad in the future. "Absolutely Joe could play again. I pick payers on form." Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tooj Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 No Joe Hart. Pretty ruthless by Southgate albeit he’s had a poor season. Might be a few surprises yet. He's had more than one poor season like. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point. I do think he is better than the other CB options, and poses more of a goal threat and had outstanding leadership for a kid. Shelvey would only ever be brought on for the last 7 minutes of the game when England went into desperation mode, where Shelvey's range passing would be easier to mop up (i.e. against defences sitting deep).

The College Dropout Posted May 19, 2018 Share Posted May 19, 2018 Lascelles should be going for the power in his fists to turn form around. If Kane has a slow start to the WC, let Jamaal deal with him. Granted he’s got experience. But Cahill’s had a bad season and will be going. He’s been out the side a fair bit. Lascelles has captained a Side and played well at a fairly young age. Get him in the squad as an emerging leader. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Klaus Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 He’s canny thick for getting that as tattoo like (he was obviously going to get stick for it), but it’s also his choice and people shouldn’t get their knickers in a twist over it. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
wormy Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 Stupid tattoo but F365 in particular have highlighted the ridiculous amount those dirtbags have targeted Sterling in recent times. My outrage at how such a disgusting publication can remain totally outweighs my negative feelings on that tattoo. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disco Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 The Sun and Mail absolutely fucking despise him because he’s young, black and successful and hasn’t played for a preferable club in London. It’s dog whistle racism because they don’t have the balls to just state it. https://twitter.com/adamkeyworth/status/1001218545588502530 He’s already posted about his Dad, literally, being shot to death about it BTW.

The College Dropout Posted May 28, 2018 Share Posted May 28, 2018 They’ve had it in for Raheem as soon as he mad noise about wanting out of Liverpool he’s been targeted. Don’t know how he handles it internally. But he posted a funny Instagram post with him and Delph with the snake and plane emoji some time ago which made me chuckle.

Tattoos are (most of the time at least) personal and have a meaning for whoever gets them.

Does having a tattoo = I love guns? Alright calm down I just think getting a tattoo of a gun is a terrible idea.
