Bimpy474 Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 Tell you what, best put the goals on the halfway line and play across the pitch, gonna to need to with the amount of midfielders who pass it fucking sideways in that squad. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Howaythetoon Posted March 15, 2018 Share Posted March 15, 2018 I dont think his performances since joining us have merited an England call up, certainly not ahead of some of the others. Looking at him as an individual and his tributes, however, his game is probably better suited to international football where the game is slower, a player will have more time and space on the ball. I think he could prosper at that level. Southgate has a tough job, but I just wish he was braver and more courageous when it comes to selecting players as you never know. Ironically, a manager who was often criticised for playing the same old guard or shoe-horning top players into the same team, would have probably given Shelvey and Lascelles a cap by now... Sven. He handed out caps like sweets when it came to friendlies. Even to players in the now Championship. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stottie Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Maybe he deserves a call up into the big squad, just for the change to train with them. His value is as a passer, and its hard to know how useful he'd be without seeing if he could pick out Sterling, Rashford, Alli etc. It goes without saying that we do not have players who make the same frequency of the same quality of runs.

ElDiablo Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Lewis Cook is a good little player, no problem with him being called up. Livermore though is embarrassing. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hanshithispantz Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 What’s the point of Lewis Cook though? Shelvey actually adds something we lack, Cook is generic English midfielder #407. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ElDiablo Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 What’s the point of Lewis Cook though? Shelvey actually adds something we lack, Cook is generic English midfielder #407. He's technically good, in the Wilshere mould. Similar to Winks as well. I'd rather give these type of players a chance in the future. They're friendlies at the end of the day. Shelvey should be in there on talent alone, but as a manager can you really trust him? Can any of us say for definite he's now turned a corner and won't do something stupid against Huddersfield if circumstances go against him? I can understand leaving him out.

Hanshithispantz Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 He trusts Jake Livermore who likes to fight with fans tbf. What I mean though is Lewis Cook doesn't have anything that stands out in a short tournament format, over a full season when you have to account for injuries and suspensions more I could just about understand it. As it is he just doesn't add anything, we could put anyone in his place. 20 minutes left and we look out of ideas in midfield and attack and you throw Lewis Cook on? Southgate is the most boring cunt we've had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElDiablo Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I can see what you mean. Assuming that Wilshere will start though, and we're setting up in a certain way to play with this sort of player, you've got to have some cover in there for him and it seems Cook is that option. Not denying it's all a bit underwhelming, cos it really is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Figures 1-0 Football Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Looks like we’re going to try and play like Stam’s Reading last year and pass the ball sideways in our own half all match and claim that we’re a really good footballing side. Lewis Cook and Jake Livermore are total nothing players like, at least Shelvey would bring in the potential to do something outstanding. The CM choices available are absolutely appalling though, none of them are good enough really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

joeyt Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I think Southgate is trying to prove with Cook there's a route to the first team should players do well in youth tournaments and play games in the PL Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 He clearly offers something in a short format tournament. Not his fault the likes of Henderson and Livermore are also called up. I'd sooner scrap those two and work on someone like Cook who's clearly shown leadership qualities and temperament in a short tournament format.

Hanshithispantz Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 You would scrap Henderson in favour of Cook? I assumed you might have been taking the piss as you've taken my quote out of context for some reason. I'm talking about playing in a 38 game season for a Premier League side vs a 32 team knockout competition with England (like the actual English national side). His achievements with the U21s are irrelevant, that's like taking Gayle's record in the Championship as a measure of how he performs in the Premiership. He isn't going to be a starter at the World Cup so his role is different, and as he doesn't offer anything particularly unique he's just backup for Henderson and Wilshere. Shelvey would be the same thing but with the advantage of actually being able to change a game if needed. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happinesstan Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Most of our best performances at major tournaments have been the result of enforced change, 86 was Beardsley, 90 was Gassa, both I believe down to injury to Bryan Robson. We need that element, really. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twinport53 Posted March 31, 2018 Share Posted March 31, 2018 I wonder if Swansea fans are confused when they see him chase down a CM then a LB and all the way back to the GK from our own box. Rafa has converted he's lazy attitude. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
