    I get that we've not started the season brilliantly, but this is massively disappointing for him, and I don't understand it.

    Kinda makes sense to me, he wa already on the periphery and he's started poorly

    Not sure who drops out of the squad for him
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    To be honest, with Saka and potentially Palmer playing in his position he seems to go and get precious little playing time which must be a little frustrating. But better than no call up! The Chelsea boy Noni M is Sakas back up?

    With Palmer Foden and Bellingham now included I'll be interested to see who plays and where!

    They mustve deleted him after my protest 🤪

    Sort of agree that Bowen hasn’t really deserved being in the squad, his form hasn’t been great , obviously factors involved, team not playing well, new manager, and thrown in the extra weight/ responsibility of being captain….All IMO 👌⚒️
  • stevesteve
    Should never have been made Captain .should have been Killman
  • alderzalderz
    No offence to everyone, but you’re all talking about my best friend and I’d like it if you stopped speaking negatively about him.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Who's that, Maguire or Bowen?
  • BazshuayiBazshuayi
    I get that he hasn't set the world on fire this season but some players get given the nod and their form is conveniently ignored. A lot of the time, especially in the past, your clubs status has a direct bearing IMO

    Mavropanos starts tonight against England.

    Pickford very, very nearly gives a goal away after losing the ball outside his box (saved by a very good goal-line clearance), then comes for and misses the resulting corner (Mavropanos put the ball in the net but was offside).

    Doesn't help that I can't stand him, but what a clown.

    I am not sure I want England to do too well in these matches as it could result in another Southgate situation in which we end up with Carsley due to his record against teams we should easily beat if almost anyone was in charge, and yet when it comes to the big matches, when we need a manager to give us that extra five percent advantage in tactical nous we are found lacking. I would rather he held the seat only until an Eddie Howe or a Poch could be tempted.

    My fear is that with the pick of the elite English players from mostly Champions league clubs he beats the likes of Greece and Finland who are probably championship standard at best and finds himself with the role permanently.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    The fact that we're in the second tier of the Nations League this time around definitely makes Carsley's job much easier.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Oh dear. Greece's first ever goal at Wembley.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Cracking strike by Bellingham might have rescued a point.

    Or maybe not, Greece score a second in stoppage time.

  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Could easily have been a late, late penalty for England, but nothing given, and it finishes 2-1 to Greece.

    Paqueta did not have a good game in Brazil's 2-1 away win over Chile

    Chile scored in the 2nd minute, he was booked in the 3rd minute and subbed at half time with the score 1-0.

    He was playing deeper than he usually does for us or Brazil, paired with Wolves CM/DM Andre in a 4-2-3-1 who was also subbed at half time

    The yellow card means he will be suspended for the game against Peru 1:45am Wednesday so hopefully he'll be allowed to fly back early and might be in decent shape for the Spurs game rather than starting on the bench as he did against Fulham after the last international break

    Antonio didn't feature in Jamaica's 2-0 win away to Nicaragua yesterday (I think it might have been Thursday local time) which strikes me as a little unusual; Romario Williams, who plays in the USA second tier, played the whole 90 minutes at CF. Jamaica play again in the early hours of Tuesday morning (so Monday evening local time) when they host Honduras in another Concacaf Nations League fixture.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Kudus captained Ghana in their goalless draw at home to Sudan on Thursday; the reverse fixture in on Tuesday (2pm our time).
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Mexico play at home to the USA in the early hours of Wednesday (Tuesday evening local time) so, he'll be one of the latest back along with Paqueta who, despite being suspended for Brazil's next match, will, I woulda thought, remain with the squad rather than be allowed to return early.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Of the European players, Coufal and Soucek both played 90 minutes against Albania last night and will probably feature in Monday's away game against Ukraine (to be played in Poland). Irving is on the bench for Scotland (playing now) who also take on Portugal on Tuesday. Areola was an unused sub for France on Thursday; they play Belgium away on Monday. Mavropanos played against England on Thursday and will likely feature at home to Republic of Ireland tomorrow evening.

    I think that's most of the matches involving our current first team squad.
  • buffybegoodbuffybegood
    Irving doesn't get off the bench as Scotland see an equalising own goal in the 5th added minute (of 4) ruled out my VAR for a narrow offside in the build up and lose 2-1 to Croatia.

    Indeed, but he was an unused sub so didn't feature.
