Internationals June (Euro Qualifiers + Nations League Finals)

Lingard plays on midfield for England doesnt he? Why is Barkley starting instead of Lingard?

Barkley has been one of England’s best players since the World Cup. He’s in possession of the shirt atm.

Delph should be on the bench if he is a ‘good character in the dressing room’. He adds nothing to the midfield.

He probably would be on the bench if the Spurs and Liverpool players were deemed fit to start.

Delph actually had a really good game against Croatia to qualify England for the semis so it’s fair enough that he plays. Southgate is clearly big on continuity and it’s worked great for him so far.
 
England's midfield on paper really looks poor. Two levels under the rest of the team. But attack with Kane instead of Rashford is top top class
 
Just cannot see it with Rice. Such a basic footballer.
 
Why is van Dijk being booed? Just because he plays for Liverpool? Does everyone in England hate Liverpool?

Usually England fan following abroad are from the lower clubs i.e the irrelevant ones. Just have to look at the flags. i.e "Big Dave & Tommo. Bishop Auckland FC" they just boo anyone who succeeds.
 
Maguire, Barkley and Chilwell have been poor.

For all England’s hype, they don’t half have a lot of midtable players in their side. Shows what a good job Southgate’s been doing really.
 
£90m for Slabhead :lol:

De Ligt looks class though :(

England’s matchgoing fans by and large are cnuts. Makes it really hard to want them to do well despite having a likeable team.
 
Any pretence that Barkley is a top flight footballer are done.

Horrific unimaginative play from England.

Those three are squad players, to be fair.

Swap them for Gomez, Alli and Shaw and we'd look at lot better.

Agreed. Rice touch is not that great for a player to be playing in midfield. All I see is another Dier.

Delph and Rice needs to improve they are being bossed by De jong
 
De Ligt :lol:
