Tiotes Witch Doctor Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 7 hours ago, Rod said: You are being misled by peer pressure and assume Pickford is a great goalkeeper. Seriously, he's the opposite. You also think Harry Maguire and Tyron Mings are international class don't you? Because the "experts" told you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Not sure about Mings like but anyone who's watched England the last 5 years and doesn't think Pickford & Maguire have been excellent for them must have been watching something completely different to me.

kingxlnc Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 The only concern I have with Howe is much like Keegan he’s all in. He’s living and breathing work, intensely as possible. He even said he doesn’t have a social life right now and he’s happy to sacrifice it. Right now that’s great especially as he had a long break. But it may lead to burnout in 4-5 years, perhaps less.

Anything he didn’t like, he’d throw the towel in and have a strop because he was so passionate about the club. Howe is passionate as well but I think he’s got a much firmer grip of himself than Keegan ever had. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He channels his passion, and is a consummate professional, So the toys won’t ever come out of the pram with him. Our gaffa ♥️ Him and Tindall great double act ?

jackyboy Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I remember during the cabbage days, we were due to play Man City away.

Shak Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I dunno, with the talent in the squad it would surely be very difficult for any English manager to turn down a chance to lead his country to a World Cup win. Surely the absolute ultimate achievement for anyone is to lead their country to a WC win? Fucking hope not, obviously Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most important English manager of the last ... 100 years. Deserves his chance. I imagine he'd have a pretty tough Jaffa-cake based training camp in Portugal, with players having to bring their own pool inflatables. Then again. International break, you say? With all my experience, that means it's time to put me 'out of office' on, let me tell you. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think, for an English manager especially, it’s a job anyone would want or consider at least. Let’s not kid ourselves here, Howe will likely be targeted and will likely be interested, that’s one of the reasons I feel he was awarded a new deal most recently as I think after the WC, Southgate will leave regardless of what we achieve or don’t in that tournament.

Kimbo Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I don’t buy it. Really good managers in their prime don’t want to be part-timers that get a few days here and there with the players, spending most of the year out of the spotlight. The best managers are almost always in the club game. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
