England World Cup Squad

[Paddingtonwolf]

When even Pulis wouldn't fuck the defence up that badly, you know things are VERY messy. Southgate is absolute fucking garbage.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I mean they aren't especially good, but at least everyone is more or less in the right position.

 

[Tony Towner]

Azpi did a decent job last year on the right of a back 3 after being converted as a right back. Kyle Walker can't fucking defend though, it's madness.

 

[Deleted Cyber]

That has to be one of the oddest england teams ever picked!

There is so much wrong with it.

Its completely imbalanced, lacks creativity and looks like its designed to concede every 20 minutes.
Its saudersesque

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I remember Taylor putting Gary Pallister at LB and John Barnes up front against Norway once (we lost).

This is on that level of strange.

 

[Tony Towner]

Taylor played Keith Curle at left back in a major Championship, we lost that game too

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Right back was it not? 0-0 vs Denmark. Pearce was LB in Euro 92. We went to the tournament with no actual right backs. Curle played one game there and David Batty played the other two there I think.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I'm staggered. It's a suicide note of a selection.

 

[Nando]

What the fuck is that?!?

He's even more clueless than I could ever have imagined.

Indeed. He's the best defender in the league so he can get away with any issues. Walker's whole game is based on his attacking abilities.

Talk about over reactions! Southgate is a shit manager but the bias in this is laughable.

Other than Walker at CB it’s pretty standard. CM is shit whoever plays, but at least he’s gone for Ox over Livermore and Dier. The forwards is no different to how wolves play, whether you rate the individuals or not is a different question.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

I'm not biased at all. This is your team not mine...

This made me laugh. I'll have a pint of what you're drinking Punts if you think this is anywhere near the type of players Wolves play in their positions.

“3 wide forwards”. So the same as Costa, Cav and Jota...

So where does the Ox play?

 

[PuntsWolf]

So where does the Ox play?

Well as I was purely referencing the front 3 in relation to Wolves that is completely irrelevant. But at the moment he’s in the middle of a piece of paper, and based on the rest of the personnel I’m assuming CM.

 

[Paddingtonwolf]

My problem is one of the best wing backs available for selection. And a wing back formation. And he is centre back. It's bonkers.

That's quite a big "other than".

Other than playing three centre halves rather than the usual two (and they were all at least actual centre halves), Saunders' selection vs Cardiff wasn't that left field.

It was of course a load of fucking nonsense, as we all know.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

The kit does at least look better with red numbers and proper navy shorts. Well done whoever sorted that out.

Agreed, it’s utterly bizarre. But everyone’s been getting the daggers out about other aspects of the team which are pretty much normal with the options available
