Internationals September (World Cup Qualifiers)
- Thread starter Samid
- Start date
Both Saka and Bellingham have looked good. Lingard looks lively. Decent tempo to the game and England deservedly lead.
All this „Greenwood should focus on his club for now - us, him, his club and his family are all aligned regarding this, blah blah” is getting overused and boring by now. I mean being young and focusing on your club didn’t stop Saka and Bellingham getting call-ups after all.
I believe Southgate just does not see him playing for England, and if he travels with England but then does not get any minutes at all, such a high profile player will get a lot of headlines if he doesn’t play.
That’s why they will keep using the same old explanation for him being left out for as long as possible.
Greenwood will never play upfront as long as Kane plays there and I honestly believe Southgate would rather play Lingard on the wings than Greenwood (and Sterling, Rashford, Sancho, Grealish, Foden, Saka are ahead of him anyway in Southgate’s mind at least).
I really don’t see a chance for Greenwood at least as long as Southgate is manager.

James has now switched to CM and TAA at RB.
James looks to be playing as the CDM, whereas TAA was at RCM in the first half.

I Said he was talented and I know he has had good games but if he was playing against France, Italy or anyone even half decent etc he wouldn't be getting this space or time. You think kante for example would allow him to just do flicks and dragbacks in midfield.
Reece James off the crossbar.
Surely Argentina just don't field those 4 players and the match continues as planned.
Bamford is really stinking the place up..
Honestly makes you realise how good someone like Greenwood is looking at Bamford. Twice the player already and he’s only 19!
Yeah people base their opinions on Bellingham only on the game vs Andorra?
Nothing wrong with calling out a good prospect when he's playing against a weak side.
I’d say Greenwood would have two at least in this game.
Yes because people are clearly only basing their opinions on this one game. He's a future star, it's obvious.
People aren't. He's played well for England a few times now. Weird that people are pretending it's a knee jerk opinion.Yeah people base their opinions on Bellingham only on the game vs Andorra?

Bamford over Mason is quite hilarious really.
I've watched two of Bellingham's games for Dortmund this season and he looks to have improved a fair bit from last season already. Still has a way to go.
England really need to speed up their passing, far too slow so far.
Trippier has been shite
Mount, Kane and Grealish on for Bellingham, Reece James and Bamford.
Finally, the useless Tory Leeds bastard is coming off the pitch.
Time to bring in the heavy artillery.
He's been feeding off scraps, he's had no real service. Bit tough on him to come off.
Here come the big guns to finish off the mighty Andorra
Genuine question.
Why is Saka rated as a starter for Southgate? I honestly don't get it. He's a decent prospect, but hardly anything exceptional and he's simply not a goal threat. It's too early for him to be a national team player.

Nerves looked to have got to him..
Penalty to England.
He's not rated as a starter. His form just had him starting quite a bit in the Euros. Regardless, it's not too early for him to be an England international.
Help yourself Harry
Kane converts the penalty. 2-0.
That's what I thought. He's a confidence player and looked very nervous after finally achieving his dream so late in his career.
Kane gets his free goal.
Agreed, yet Southgate called upon Saka to take the fifth pk in a Euro final, with predictable result.
Somebody move that balloon
What those ex England strikers would give to play these sort of mugs so frequently!
"England secure 3 points"
FFS, they should be hammering this team.

He's scored 10 goals for Arsenal in 100+ apps and doesn't have a reliable end product. It's too early for him. He does a few dribbles that makes him look dangerous but really isn't very effective. Don't see it personally.
What a dreary game.
