Re: England squad announced
From Sky ....
"Eyebrows were raised when Burnley sanctioned Heaton's move to Aston Villa after six years at the club - but Nick Pope has been waiting in the wings and seized his opportunity - surpassing Heaton in the stats in this term.
In fact, the stats suggest Pope is England's top goalkeeper and Heaton would fail to make the squad, with Bournemouth's Aaron Ramsdale in reserve ahead of Dean Henderson - after the latter's costly error against Liverpool."
"Burnley defender James Tarkowski edges his counterparts across a raft of metrics, including 56 duels won this term. Compared with other Premier League centre-backs, only Wolves' Willy Boly has won more.
Chelsea's Fikayo Tomori was born in Canada but has represented England at youth levels and would earn an inaugural senior call-up - boosted by his wonder goal in the 5-2 win at Wolves last month.
Brighton's Dan Burn would also make the squad, having never represented the Three Lions at any level, joining England regular Harry Maguire on the bench."
Mings gets picked and Tarks nowhere near the England team .... baffling!!

I guess he's not featured enough this season yet, although was reading an article which suggests Pep wants him as a full-time replacement for David Silva next season, so he'll need more games soon.Devils_Advocate wrote:Aye got a few good young uns in and around the squad but its still a big step to become a top level international from a young talent

Re: England squad announced
Joe Gomez has only played last night and they conceded 3. However good he might be that doesn’t merit a call up.

Re: England squad announced
It is a great shame that the England manager chooses to pick young players, wet behind the ears, in preference to players who have learnt their trade and earned their place.

Re: England squad announced
I think Southgate previously said that Mings was in partly because we have a limited number of left sided centre backs. (Obviously some on here will clamour for Mee but I think that ship has sailed.)
Re: England squad announced
People to to start realising how Southgate wants to play football and how he works.
He knows all about Tarks having had him in squads before. It’s not just about current form but building a much bigger squad of players than the number he can call up. Mings has been in 1 squad for about a week/10 days. He’ll want to see more of him. When the time comes to pick the Euro squad he then will have around 10 CH who have been in an England camp several times. He’ll then be able to call upon players who have had that experience and won’t be calling upon a newcomer to step in.

This is for sure. Tbh as much as one or two have had caps whilst with us this remains a problem for us to keep our best assets that want to play for England...the players also know this which is some of the reason why it is likely Tarky will be moving at some point sooner or later...the other reason being 100k per weekVino blanco wrote:If Tarkowski were to be transferred to Man U, Liverpool, Tottenham or Chelsea, I guarantee he would be in the next England squad.

If he was to play in a holding midfield role then give me any of the other three any day of the week. If he is playing more advanced then yes he is streets ahead of those mentioned.

There or CH, yes, but the point still remains the same as Rice wasn't part of the original quote and it was just a straight comparison between those mentioned. As it is I'd have Henderson ahead of Rice anyway.Quickenthetempo wrote:Rice plays there doesn't he?

Re: England squad announced
Trippier admitted himself he was poor last season. But you'd have thought an arm around the shoulder and a good rest over the summer would have done the trick. Maybe he fell out with Poch, or there were off field issues and he wanted a fresh start, who knows?CleggHall wrote:Trippier still going strong, why did Spurs sell him?

Re: England squad announced
Southgate gave Tarks a chance, perhaps he just hasn't got what GS is looking for. He's a brilliant defender in Burnley's system which is nothing like how GS wants England to play.
Having said that I really don't get Mings at all.

That's the achievement. Most on here could manage the USA women's team to a semi final, say. What he did was far tougher.
Re: England squad announced
England had a very favourable draw in the WC. Even then, they failed to beat Luca Modric.
Nonetheless, some performances have looked refreshingly more mobile and fluid, than under previous managers.
Just not sure he really has real players of quality in midfield and his back line is not settled. Not to mention his keeper choice.

Re: England squad announced
I'm late catching up on this (too much rugby) but the pick that startles me is Fikayo Tomori. He's had a fair few games in the Championship whilst on loan at Hull and Derby over the last two seasons but, prior to the last 5 matches for Chelsea, only previously had 31 minutes in the Prem (in 2015/16). He's a CB as far as I've seen- so seen as ahead of Tarky on form??
I understand he's eligible to play for several countries and maybe there's an element of "tying him down" for the future but England team should be picked on recent form/quality surely.

Re: England squad announced
I guess arguably he is being picked on form, he's played well in the past 5 games and got a call up. I can't say I've watched him enough to know how good he is. He was Derby's player of the season last year so must be pretty decent and has featured in all of the England youth teams which does appear to help with getting a chance in the full team.LeadBelly wrote:I'm late catching up on this (too much rugby) but the pick that startles me is Fikayo Tomori.

Re: England squad announced
Aye had to laugh at one of the player (think it was TAA) saying how the squad being picked purely on form now is keeping everyone on their toes. If that is the case then how is Tarks not in the squad or possibly even Ben Mee. Why was Barnes not in the last squad (other than being a fake Austrian) and how is Pope not number 1. There are probably also lots of other very good cases for players from other teams too.
