Ben Mee's curse appears to be, that he can't play alongside Ben Mee

Pope
Tarkowski Stones Maguire
Walker Wilshire Henderson (gulp!) Chamberlain (`The Ox` - so annoying when they ALL call him that) Rose

ZizkovClaret wrote:Ben Mee must wonder what he has to do

I suspect he already knows that he would have to significantly improve his distribution. He's a great defender, but really not very comfortable on the ball. This is one of the problems we have when Long plays alongside him, since neither of them offer much in terms of bringing the ball out of defence.

How on earth Joe Hart is still getting called up, I will never know.

Glad Tarky is in, well deserved for Alfie Mawson. Hopefully Pope will get a run out too.

timshorts · Post by **timshorts** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 2:07 pm

Here's the most sensible post I've seen on the BBC website for a while.................

"In the England squad should be James Tarkowski, Nick Pope, Ben Mee and Ashley Barnes. Burnley are in seventh position in the Premier League because they have so many good players.

Not got the bottle to drop one of the other 3 keepers who are letting goals in for fun.
Well done to Tarks & Pope though.

Sidney1st · Post by **Sidney1st** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 2:10 pm

If Pope and Tarkowski make debuts in coming games then Burnley will have supplied more England players in past year than Arsenal/Chelsea combined (also Heaton, Keane, Cork)

BroadIslandClaret · Post by **BroadIslandClaret** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 2:11 pm

How does Alfie Mawson get in ahead of Mee? Swansea have conceded 42 goals to our 26 - Mee and Mawson integral to both teams.

Will Southgate play Pope though, or just give him the experience of the squad ?

So just to confirm, Hart will play, along with one of the other regulars and Pope will be sat on the bench...

An amazing achievement for both. Well done. Well done Dyche. Well done Burnley Football Club.

dushanbe · Post by **dushanbe** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 2:14 pm

He's essentially just said that he's there so they can have a look at him, in case one of the more senior goalkeepers becomes unavailable between now and the end of the season.

It's a joke. What does he not know about them three already.
It says to me that Southgate is taking them 3 because they have the experience.
That will be his line with the final squad.

jurek · Post by **jurek** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 2:16 pm

Be interesting to see if he plays both Tarks and Pope.
Would have thought he'd give both a chance to play or come on for at least one of the games.

Not much point in selecting them if he doesn't.

Bertiebeehead · Post by **Bertiebeehead** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 2:16 pm

Who'd have thought it?

BroadIslandClaret · Post by **BroadIslandClaret** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 2:17 pm

Southgate pretty much just said (my opinion) that unless one of Hart, Butland or Pickford get injured, Pope won`t be going to the World Cup. The question of "Why Pope?" was ridiculous

The clown of an anchor on Sky Sports News just strongly suggested that Southgate doesn`t consider Tarkowski an option for the World Cup but for "beyond the summer". Idiot. I have missed Kirsty Gallacher though

Hart would go even if he's injured

CrosspoolClarets · Post by **CrosspoolClarets** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 2:19 pm

Well done guys.

Mee unlucky but the system not just him is the constant. He has done very well and reads the game to international class, but distribution and pace limit him. He is a top half PL player on merit though so well done him too (and Lowts).

claretburns · Post by **claretburns** » Thu Mar 15, 2018 2:20 pm

Apparently we have 3 Burnley players in the squad, can someone help?

Football

"With Nick Pope his form has been excellent. It's great credit to Sean Dyche that we have got three Burnely players in our squad.

"We need to find out a bit more about them because if we lose one of our more experienced players then we will need them to fill the void, but Nick's form has warranted his place in the squad."
