Akinfenwa clearly watches mainly Liverpool, how he debated so hard for Elliot is mad😂😭 Gallagher, Sancho & ESR have to go ahead of him
"Only Klopp can whatsapp me" He IS biased af for Liverpool lol
Dude They need to pick some left footed player also .....
How you disrespecting JWP like this. Harvey Elliot had just been picked over him deep that.
@@nithinv48 Foden and Saka are left footed…
I’d still take Elliot over ward prowse
How were they debating rashford going so intensely whilst hardly mentioning Sancho. It’s a no brainer, between rash/Sancho you pick Sancho every day of the week.
Fax
Neither should go
I see that and I raise you. The fact they just dismissed jarrod bowen whilst debating Rashford so much.
Fax
Sancho is very limited physically, he's intelligent but lack pace and athleticism for a winger, which makes him easy to defend against.
How Jarrod Bowen doesn’t get a mention is beyond me. Second most combined goals and assists (for an english player) in the premier league only behind Harry Kane. Carried West Ham on his back at times. Great work rate and one of the best wingers in the PL at the moment. Shame about his slight injury set back.
so true
yeah but you actually watch ball these guys don’t
He got a mention
@@shreythakur9079 got told he is on job but then you have players like grealish who has had moments this season but nowhere close to bowen. I mean Rashford got so much of an argument performing nowhere close to anyone in the list.
yes mate as a liverpool fan bowen has to be near starting 11 on form
Akinfenwa kind of killed this - can’t really have a debate when somebody just shouts over and interrupts.
Yes indeed.
Rory was worse tbh
He’s a lad though
i mean that's how akinfenwa talks normally lol
Every single time I fast forwarded 10 seconds he was shouting. Loves his own voice
I can’t lie Smith Rowe has been quality this season but unfortunately to many good players in the England squad but I don’t know how they making a case for Harvey Elliot but not for Smith Rowe
Forgot Jarrod Bowen, best winger in the world at the moment
@@kingrobert7246 to be fair Jarrod Bowen has been quality this season but definitely not the best winger in the world lol
@@reesharvey8267 definitely is he plays like Prime Hazard every game for west ham embarrassing tottenham and chelsea world class dribbling shooting agility and control on the game. Absolute genius of a player he’s the first Jarrod Bowen
@@kingrobert7246 embarrassing Tottenham 3-1 lol son embarrassed west ham
Bowen is on form this season, but still not even top 3 winger in the league.
They’re logic was defeated by themselves. Not picking Phillips because he’s injured and not played, however picking Chillwell, who is currently injured and not playing…
rory hates leeds so therefore never was going to pick phillips
We have one other good left back, we have about 3 defensive midfielders better than Phillips at the moment?
@@henrythomas9154 Phillips is one of the first name's on the teem sheet. WE play so much better when he's there
@@henrythomas9154 we really dont, no one can match his stamina and judging by recent matches, no one has the same tactical mindset. Hes always reading the situations really well, against Swiss there was countless mistakes where you know it wouldnt have happened if he was on field. The team look alot weaker without him. Theres a reason he was the england player of the year and the player with the most time on pitch. With Philips and Rice that england midfield is solid af, we need them both for the cup or we have no chance.
Exactly, picking trippier over KWP/Shaw, with KWP being amazing recently, and Shaw playing soo much for England, yet Trippier doesn’t do ether yet somehow gets in
It's a disgrace that they've not included James Ward-Prowse, he offers so much in the big games. They need his set piece quality in the big games.
They've already got TAA for the set piece quality
@@lyt2590 jwp>Trent in set peices
Big fan of JWP but he doesn't go!! Yes, his set piece is great, but TAA is not far behind, plus Trippier is good at set piece as well... but outside of set piece, there are many better in midfield than him. Rice, Henderson, Jude, and even Phillips who's left out as well. Sorry JWP... you'd make it if there wasn't someone nearly as good as you in set pieces like TAA
@@den_525 you obviously don’t watch Southampton he’s complete game is unbelievable he’s one of the best box to box midfielders in the league if he was at a top 6 club he’d be considered one of the best
@@den_525 JWP id ahead of Henderson and Phillips from open play alone
Tammy Abraham goes all day long for me, he’s done amazing in his first season in Italy and saved Roma a lot but other than Kane we need a tall, fairly fast proper No.9 Striker and granted Kane isn’t the fastest nor can he dribble as well as the wingers they selected but we need good old fashioned strikers and we need at least 2 incase Kane gets injured or struggles to score
Kane can dribble
@@bugsy4914 Yeah he can but I did say he can’t “dribble as well as the wingers they selected” so meaning Kane can’t dribble better then Sterling, Saka etc.
@@_c_a_b_1997 no st can dribble better than wingers
@@bugsy4914 You must be too young to remember Brazilian Ronaldo, plus you have Pele, Cruijff, Cristiano Ronaldo, Ibrahimovic, Shevchenko, Owen, Van Nistelrooy, Crespo, Mbappe, Rooney. All players who have played as a striker for a while at some point in their careers or for all of their careers and can dribble beyond fantastically and better than a lot of wingers at their time of playing and also ever to play football. The harsh fact is Kane is just an old fashioned English No.9 Striker, slow, not great at dribbling but amazing in the box with head or foot and to be fair to him he can certainly pass the ball quite well but yeah he’s way too slow and clumsy to ever be considered a great dribbler or even good. That’s why I’m saying England need a prolific No.9 Striker who can score with both feet and head and find those good positions but also account for Kanes pace and dribbling ability so Tammy would be great with his pace etc. I would love to see Rashford leave Man Utd and convert to a striker too, he has so much potential but he’s wasting his time and confidence at a lacklustre Man Utd squad that could benefit from some Sir Alex type of management
@@_c_a_b_1997 all retired
No way they’ve picked Harvey Elliot over James Ward-Prowse 🤦♂️
It’s more surprising they chose Elliot over Gallagher. Harvey Elliot hasn’t done a thing this season
@@tekkman4485 he was injured most of the season. Not saying he should be in the squad but it makes no sense to say that
ESR over all of them
Stopped watching after that hahah
Yeah I just think it's the player that's different and can be a major tactical change
What a joke, they debated so much for harvey elliot who hasn’t even played consistently or scored any goals but completely left smith rowe out who is arsenal’s top goal scorer
Forgot Bowen as well
Even ward prowse I would take over Elliot or Bellingham
it’s alright, when it comes to around to the squad selection, we’ll see ESR over Elliot.
Akinfenwa is a Liverpool fan.
@@jayj7463 hahhahahahahahahahaha over bellingham
@@upthereds9734 yep
How has ward prowse not made it. He’s not just playing amazing. He’s dictating games with a Southampton team. He is a very special midfielder in my opinion and should start for England, let alone make the squad
If Ward-Prowse was playing for a top 6 side he'd be one of the first names on the list.
@@kaskae7240 exactly, and only a joke of a pundit would put in Elliot over JWP/Gallagher
Best set piece taker in the world. Ward prowse has to go as he offers something different. Should be there instead of trippier being a 4th RB
I am from Spain and I am so glad Maguire is going with England, one more player for the other team
Pov: you don’t know ball
As Liverpool fan, it's actually funny how Elliot even get into the debate 😅 I love him a lot but nah, not this season, if he start every game next season before the world cup, then maybe he'll get into the debate, but nah, not now. Gallagher also has a problem, he's great this season but what happen if next season, he go back to Chelsea and didn't play a single game, it will be depending on predicting their gametime next season. Ward Prowse go for me
Yeah it's bizarre harvey even got a mention tbh. Just let harvey do well with u21s and I beg everyone stop overhyping the kid, it can't help a players career at all.
@Ewan becos its scouse sports media
Scouse sports media lad thats why, n🤣
I mean Elliot is in the youth setup and literally played last night ...
Football is weird now. Basically 5 people watch the sport the rest are Asians and Africans that base all their knowledge off of FIFA Ultimate Team and CZcams videos.
Yeah, totally rate him but he's just recently become a semi regular player for Liverpool, he is clearly already incredible but let's give him some more time to prove himself and learn. Also has he even got a call up to the first team yet?!😅
The fact that they didn’t even consider smith Rowe is criminal
They didn’t even consider James Maddison . Selection is a mess
He's going its a fact
Not considering Bowen is even more criminal
Doesn’t start for Arsenal
@@unnamed3086 Slight injury few weeks back still recovering. and you have to take into account hes competing with Odegaard who is quite possibly the silkiest CAM in prem atm (debatable i know)
They compromised this whole debate by adding Elliot, unless he's starting every game next season, whether that be at RCM or RW, he's definitely not going to be considered.
Heskey is a must, we need goals from somewhere
Unless Rashford makes the greatest turn around in history there's no way he get's into this squad
Been saying this for weeks
He absolutely must not be in the squad.
akin is talking absolute rubbish
@@Sasquatch10 Rashford gonna comeback
Bro thats impossible Even United fans are complaining to me about Rashford
These guys really started off with 4 right backs in a 23 man squad …
One of them can actually play left back though.. well they have embarrassment of riches in that position
Walker is versatile so it works
And it's exactly the right decision, 4 brilliant players that are versatile and all add to the squad
Reece and Walker both played cb before and trippier played at lb
But isn't Chilwell a left back?
Rory is class. Love his content and how well-spoken he is. Would love to see him on more!
LOL his views got torn apart
lolz
'Well spoken' doesn't always equate to a person also being intelligent, knowledgeable, or insightful.
@@jacob4690 you’re right would make for class TV if they all instantly agreed on the same squad👍
hes an idiot savant.
So Phillips is back in training and possibly ready for the next league game and you don’t take him because “he’s injured”; but you take Chillwell who has had an ACL injury (a well known career ender!) despite not proving his fitness? Get your argument straight Bayo.
Love how they debating between Smith Rowe and Elliot/Sancho when Smith Rowe has literally outperformed both of them
Forgot Jarrod Bowen, best winger in the world at the moment
@@kingrobert7246 Agreed, between him and smithy for me
@@NSTurn Sorry but Bowen is clear of everyone on the England team including ESR. His touch and agility is unbelievable he plays like a prime hazard embarrasses chelsea and tottenham and can score all types of goals.
@@kingrobert7246 Take the words Prime hazard out of your mouth when talking about Bowen... Bowen is incredible trust me but Smith rowe mate... I agree bowen 110% deserves to go, the same way i think smith rowe 100% deserves to go just look at his stats and take into account like someone said earlier "He doesnt start for arsenal"

good thing that they warned us its going to be HEATED .. gave us time to prepare , mentally .
@@kingrobert7246 you’re not being serious though , yes Bowen is very good , but he is nowhere near the level of other wingers like son and salah etc
Rory is spot on, especially with the Harry Maguire stuff. No way in hell he deserves to do

And Craig Dawson, best english centerback by a country mile
He doesn’t even start though?
@@unnamed3086 yes and he’s still been better than some players who start week in week out
Elliot over Gallagher? And no ESR in contention for that spot?
That's ridiculous
ESR isn't in contention. He's good but Kane and Sterling have to go. Foden and Saka are clear. And I'd rather take Grealish or Bowen than Smith Rowe. I think hes in a similar situation to Sancho. Everyone knows he's quality and deserves to at least be on the plane but there's too many good players and you have to leave some people out. Also Gallagher has to go can't believe they left him out.
@@Anonymous-xr8hx I’d honestly probably take him over grealish on current form
@Anonymous nah id make the same argument for gallagher as u just made for smith rowe/sancho maybe 1 of those 3 should get in
@@XXlegovidXx nah Grealish is a level above as a player. Even out of form he goes ahead of him
@@dagotowka9191 he could even fill in as an 8 pretty sure that’s where arteta will end up using him
I'm Scottish but I'm a football fan who knows the game and listens and takes on information. He only played trippier the first game against Croatia at left back because he was up against player who always looked to cut in on his left foot so with trippier at left back he could natural shape his body and step across the player and cut him out with his right foot
Precisely, what people don't realise is that Trippier NEVER played on the left until Gareth asked him to for England and if you ask me it's painful to watch him there as he's constantly cutting inside onto his stronger foot.
@@1612bensb true, if you want a fullback who is comfortable on both sides, Walker-peters is your man. Alternatively we could swap a centre back for a natural left back
Unless Kalvin is injured - he is 100% getting in that squad. He is critical - played every game in the Euros as a starter and was Englands player of the season. It would be madness if they didnt take him
How did they pick Harvey Elliot who has made 11 appearances in all competitions over the last TWO seasons but just dismissed Jarrod Bowen without discussing him 🤦♂️
Curtis is even better than Harvey
The big club bias is beyond a joke
What are you on about? He made 41 league appearances for Blackburn last season. I agree that bringing Elliot would be absolutely ridiculous but at least get your stats right if you’re going to make an argument
Elliott instead of Gallegher and ward??? NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO NEVER NEVER!!👎 SOUTHGATE SHOULD BE LAUGHING HERE😂🤣
mate im liverpool but im starting bowen on right wing, man is a baller
Thanks for having me on. Loved this!
Ur a legend mate
Elliot over Esr or Gallagher? Come on man
@@kelvx they play different positions you tit.
Eric Dier bro????
Where's penaldo rory?
I am here after watching england's friendly against switzerland and I can say that gallagher was the biggest threat for the opposition. That guy is just top level. He is so energetic. This england team has so many top players now, it must be really difficult for southgate to pick his team.
Bro ur taking words out of me
James Maddison, Smith Rowe too.
True
I am so happy now to see Adebayo THE LEGEND here, at Saturday Social
What a load of top 6 club bias waffle this was. Harvey Elliot 🤣 Akinfenwa would probably still take Walcott. Shocking
Glad to see a Legend like Akinfenwa on the show. I'd like to see him as a regular studio host somewhere or a pundit casting games and intimidating whoever is calling games with him.
He should become a commentator.
@@kieranb8045 YESS
Jarrod Bowen, best winger in the world at the moment
Grealish 😂😂😂😂😂
What’s akinfenwa done in his life the highest level he’s played at is championship a man would acc bring Harvey Elliot over smith-Rowe and Gallagher he’s acc delusional I’d take Curtis Jones over Harvey Elliot
How does Dier not even get a mention? Best English defender this season
As a Chelsea fan:
ESR has to go over one of the FIVE CENTER BACKS why r u bringing 5?! Gallagher also has to go over
Nah not ESR. Maybe Gallagher tho ye
ESR 100%
@@SGSport10 not very inform tho and they kinda need a box to box in Gallagher instead of ESR if anything. Gallagher might actually play, but ESR wouldn't ever get ahead of Mount/Foden at CAM and even if somehow both of them got injured (which is extremely unlikely), Gallagher can play CAM if needed or one of the other many world class attacking players
@@jonbon6843 lol ESR Have been banging goal after goal and some lot saying he is not in form. ESR is gonna get even better next season and he doesn't only score goal he is a good dribbler. When we play big side later in the tournament we will need someone like ESR who can actually dribble and make things happen. So for me ESR is 100% in if we are to go further in the tournament. Gallagher over ESR what a joke
@@SGSport10 goal after goal 😂bro u hella dumb. He's scored 1 goal tso far his year, that's it. But why do u want to bring ESR. Seriously tell me. I wouldn't want him starting over Foden or Mount at CAM. And anyway, his main position is LW and he definitely ain't playing there, so why wouldn't u bring a player like Gallagher over him? Gallagher is a box to box midfielder which England lack apart from Bellingham and has really proven himself to be a great player this season
Harvey Elliott? LOOOOOL how is he even in this😭
For me one of the names that wasn’t mentioned is Jarrod Bowen, if he maintains form from now until the World Cup squad gets picked, he has to go ahead of some of those names…
I don’t understand how they omitted him. He was having the best season of any of England’s forwards before he got injured. Big club bias as usual...
He was mentioned but hardly a sentence which is a shame...he has been brilliant this season
Over who?
@@connorryan5411 take your pick, he has more goals and assists combined than any other English winger this season.
@@sansirohenry5477 who would you remove then Sterling og Grealish? I don't think Southgate will leave them out.
Shambles but lucky for them FIFA is soon to expand squads to 26. In this event, Sancho, Bowen, and JWP go and then I’d be tempted to throw in Gallagher and/or Phillips and/or ESR for some of the guys they’ve already got in the team. But ya, Elliott and Rashford are you having a laugh
Phillips gets picked regardless, whether he’s injured up until next November, playing in championship or premier league England best player over last 18 months
He played on Saturday, I think it’s a definite he’s going😂
@@shrillah_ws7194 if he picks up form, yes. James Maddison also not mentioned at all, but it makes sense tbf

Right now you are spot on but I’m telling you in a years time this will not be a debate. This Elliott kid I’m telling you as much as people hate him. He’s absolutely incredible footballer. Klopp spent 7 mil on a 15 year old for a reason..
@@adamalexander6058 great news but we aren’t talking about in a years time. Think back to a year ago and some players on the list werent even known by most fans. We’re talking about right now not the future
@@Uzityessir hence why I started by agreeing with you…
@@adamalexander6058 to be fair let’s not decide how good someone is based on a price tag, sancho, maguire, lukaku, AWB, Kepa. There’s probably more examples, not saying he isn’t good but a players value doesn’t always determine their future
@@lenl860 that wasn’t the point the point was the analytics of Liverpool and the judgement of klopp in the transfer market has been impeccable. To put that much faith in a 15 years means something imo but that’s just an opinion I understand your point

The fact that soo many people in the comments are rooting for ESR shows how good he's been this year. Am a chelsea fan and I still will take him over Gallagher
Or shows how loud African Experts are.
Everyone also claimed at the start of the season that Wolves would struggle...
What does that teach us... African Experts spend too much time on FIFA and CZcams and not enough time actually watching the game.
By your logic though shouldn't Maxi Killman be in the squad over half the defenders? But fact it Maxi plays in a back 3 and at times has made silly mistakes.
ESR isn't that amazing. He plays in a squad worth how much? Arsenal shouldn't be worried about top 4 but with a couple of bad results and Arsenal might not even make top 6...
@@razerow3391 well at the start of the season no one in their right mind would say Arsenal is going to finish top 4, when they went 0 in 3, bottom of the league, conceded 9 and scored none.
Way too many people playing in that position though. He's not gonna play over Grealish, Raheem, Saka, Mount, Foden
When did Esr last start a game?
Honestly the disrespect to not even give James Maddison a magnet. He has the most G/A out of any English midfielder this season and has been Leicester’s only good player. Does he go to the World Cup? Maybe not, but he has to be in the conversation.
To that I could argue that JWP has only 1 less g/a than Maddison while playing a much deeper position. He also has a higher conversion rate while also having much better defensive capabilities and is the best current freekick taker in the prem. Maddison is still a country mile ahead of Harvey Elliot though, who should be nowhere near this squad
This was to entertaining 😂😂 but smith Rowe is a monster and should be included
Harvey Elliot is a great talent but to pick him over Gallagher is criminal. Gallagher has been the spine of Palace this season on his own, work rate through the roof. Got to go for me.

I was surprised too😭
I guess it's down to depth as right now it's him or Mitchell at left back whilst defensive mid is a better covered position
When they had their 23 initially and looked at who was left out they all started laughing because there was just no way you’re leaving out certain players 😂
Bringing 4 rbs would be a huge mistake, they’re all quality but doesn’t give the right squad balance.
I mean in a way it gives the squad a very "right" balance.
yeah would go with trippier trent Walker and then shaw and chil well. James for England has been poor and doesn't offer anything that trent and Walker do

This is a very nice squad man 🥇
Phillips has to go. England have looked so much worse without him in that double pivot, see the Hungary game. He is integral to the way Southgates team plays.
gallagher was amazing next to henderson last night though. it was so refreshing to see a CM for england being creative through the middle, instead of forcing it out to the wings for our creativity. for me, the midfielders we take are: Hendo, Rice, Bellingham, Mount definately. possibly Gallagher, possibly Smith-Rowe. Philips has been fairly silent for me this season. May be bad club bias on my part but I don't see him in the conversation right now
henderson was awful for england last euros too, rory doesn't like leeds so therefore was never going to pick phillips
@@ChazTB phillips has played 12 PL games this season,hes been injury stricken. What are you on about?
As nice as it sounds in principle you can’t pick a complete 23 on form alone every time. You need to build a team chemistry at the same time. It’s a balance - the best teams know each other inside out.
Picking Harvey Elliot over ward prowse 💀💀
Rory saying "Be the man you want to be" got me 😂
I think a problem with Luke Shaw is he’s been lumped in with Maguire and Rashford as having poor form after the Euros but he’s not been anywhere near as bad as them. He’s not been good but he’s been mostly fine.
Fine won't win a world cup though. There are plenty of fine left backs. When England have so many talented players and have to narrow it down to 23 fine won't cut it.
@@Anonymous-xr8hx 💯💯💯
@@Anonymous-xr8hx but there's no left back better than him in England. Chillwell is injured. And is the only one who could rival him
@@Anonymous-xr8hx Fine can do a job if it needs to though. No team needs every player to be at 100% to win. Fine is a good enough backup when the other options are playing people out of position. And they’re never winning the World Cup with Southgate in charge anyway.
@Anonymous you just dont want him there cos hes a united player. Stop bringing club bias into international football, its. cringe
Loving the World Cup content. Words can’t describe how excited I am for Qatar 2022 🇶🇦⚽️
I’m not excited
I can't describe how excited I am to see England sing "It's Comin' Home" for them to lose again.
Forgot Jarrod Bowen, best winger in the world at the moment
Did you really have to remind us of the scandalous host nation
Sarcasm?
this is gold. akinfenwas points on maguire very are profound
how tf was bowen not even in the debate. such an underated baller.
Smithy and Joe trying so hard to "speed things up" and "make a decision" when Akinfenwa speaks but too afraid to annoy him coz he might put him in a headlock
Akinfenwa would get rolled by anyone who can fight, he would get slapped around by a featherweight 🤣🤣

They put through chilwell way too quickly. He’s been injured all season and luke shaw has done so well for England. Yes he’s not been as good for Man U but he’s part of that core group that Southgate has built that can be awful for club but play well for England. I don’t know whether it’s how much the shirt means or if it’s Gareth’s system but we saw evidence that Luke shaw can still play well for England. He saved the game against Switzerland. For me tripper and shaw in chilwell out
Agreed. The light blue shirt guy does what he wants! Shouldn’t even have argued about Shaw vs Trippier.
Came here to say this
chilwell is by far our best lb though
Amazing that there's doubt about including the only England player to score in a major final since 1966.
Not even saying it's wrong,
but it's quite a scenario.
The end was chaos and I love it 😂😂😂
Why on earth have they brought 5 central defenders? You can't even make the debate that they're needed for cover if they play a back 3 because Kyle Walker will then be an additional central defender
So many attacking options for southgate that unlike previous managers he doesnt have to pick players bang out of form like rashford because of a lack of alternatives...but something tells me he will...and someone who has had a fine season and will be chest out like Abraham will be ignored..which increases the chances of kane running on empty because of a lack of like for like replacement for 20-30 mins in games
Finally. Guests that know football.
and Rory
@@Olli399 rory's a ledge, what are you on about lol
Is knowing football what you call anti United bias these days?
@@ArtVandelay77 he doesn't know football even slightly
@@thomasjames456 okay thomas :)
This is great. More England International team content please.
TAA's defensive weakness is not a myth, he's been responsible for several mistakes that have led to goals and the majority of he goals Liverpool concede are from that side. His attacking ability is phenomenal and he is a phenomenal player but lets not get carried away.
Jordan Pickford, Nick Pope, Aaron Ramsdale,
Kyle Walker, Kieran Trippier, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Luke Shaw, Aaron Cresswell, Harry Maguire, John Stones, Ben White, Fikayo Tomori,
Declan Rice, Kalvin Phillips, Jude Bellingham, Mason Mount, Phil Foden,
Jack Grealish, Raheem Sterling, Bukayo Saka, Jadon Sancho
Harry Kane, Tammy Abraham
If the Welsh manager had Rory's mind set he wouldn't take bale.
Congrats to Akinfenwa
On Sky Sports and still has a FIFA card
Still a BEAST
Still shocked how Eric dier hasn’t been called up but I’m glad so he dosent get injured for England he’s key for spurs
i genuinely don’t know what jarrod bowen has to do to even get a shout in, he has the most g/a in all comps out of england’s prem forwards (more than saka, esr, rashford, sancho, kane, sterling, foden. whilst playing week in week out consistently in a much worse team than city arsenal man u or spurs but he’s still able to create so many chances. the big 6 bias is unreal he’s in the season of his life and doesn’t even get a look in
Bowen got a mention ESR didn't even get mentioned hes the highest scoring english midfielder this season
Maddison literal has more at cam than he doesn’t yet he didn’t even get a magnetic. Certain players just get disrespected. Madders has the most goal contributions out of any English midfielder including wide players… and doesn’t even get a shout.
@@boothy9406 maddison has been so inconsistent this season he should have gotten a magnetic and is so class on his day but he’s not on bowen’s level, idk where you’ve got your figures from he has less goals and less assists in all comps compared with bowen but i agree the maddison disrespect is unreal
@@E3boss2003 nah i completely agree especially as esr has played mostly from the bench yet he’s able to put up these numbers but again bowen’s playing at the top of his game, more all round player, playing in a worse team, most g/a, able to play 90mins every week without rest and yet bayo just says “next time”, their bias and lack of ball knowledge really showing, just imagine if specs was on here
For me Southgate has to bring Smith-Rowe, Gallagher and Sancho. All three players have huge potential.
Tell me who they replace in the 23 I’ll wait. Everyone saying Southgate has to bring this guy and that guy but don’t actually look at who’s in front of them. Some people have to be left out that’s just how it is.
Nah that 23 man team is correct Coady is debatable but he's apparently a gd leader
Who picks potential over quality? 🤣🤣🤣
@@jacob4690 get rid of one of the RBs and you’ll get one in
@@attagyangyedu1761 ESR replace grealish
JWP goes ESR goes Bowen goes
Phillips Shaw and callagher honourable mention. Phillips and Shaw can't doubt their euros performances and callagher has just been quality too this season but it's straight form.
Akinfenwa is so right about form being temporary and manager's trust, big up, rory, he has got a point bruddah
GK: Ramsdale, Pickford, Pope
CB: Tomori, Stones, White, Coady
RB: Trent, James, Walker (RB/RCB)
LB: Chilwell, Trippier
CM: Rice, Bellingham, Henderson, Mount, Gallagher
LW/RW: Foden, Saka, Sterling, Grealish
ST: Kane, Abraham
Narrow misses: Bowen, Smith Rowe, Sancho (you can't take everyone).
I‘m not even English. But I wouldn’t take Grealish anymore because of his form at City. I would go with Sancho or Smith Rowe.
I'd take Ward-Prowse over Gallagher personally
@@thfccoys5103 Grealish is part of the main team. ESR isn’t it’s not that hard to understand
Unfortunately Maguire will definitely go, Shaw should go too
Mount over smith rowe give your head a wobble mate
This debate just highlights the depth of England's squad
James Maddison goes. He has been unreal this season and for his name not even getting a mention is diabolical. This man has got 20+ g+a this season alone. He creates space like no other attacking midfielder (with the exception of foden and maybe mount). He draws found near the box. This man has also proved himself as a world class player who can play at CAM or even out wide (like an improved and more in form Jack Grealish.) For him to not even get a mention is absolutely shambolic. He goes to Quatar this year. He’s relatively young and has shown his class an uncountable amount of times. I only take Ws.
If Tavernier doesn't get a call-up, at least, that will be disappointing. Such a class wing back. Tough and good defensively, but also has a knack for attacking, scoring and getting assists.
Having 5 full backs and 5 CBS just can't happen unless we're gonna play a back 5 regularly
Still shouldn't happen. 4 cbs would be fine even if playing a 5 back cos both Walker and James can cover rcb
@@vicvinegar4540 Yeah they went way too heavy on defenders, especially as stats have shown that in tournaments you want to bring more attackers. Because defenders are less injury and form prone, plus tire less during a match. and it gives you more options to change the game up.
@@Hyde_Hill Exactly
Akinfenyas points are really good, haven’t thought about the maguire situation like the Kane situation, very well put
kane has 12 goals and 5 assists tho 🤦♂️🤦♂️
Maguire hasn’t been poor, he’s been as bad as you can be. Not only that but he has never actually been that good realistically, especially for man utd
How was Oliver Skipp not even mentioned he’s been injured for a couple months but he’s been absolutely quality
Can tell this squad was done by Chelsea and Liverpool fans, Harvey Elliot over Gallagher at the start, Chillwell despite not playing but then leave out Phillips cause he hasn’t played 🥴
This was one of the best episodes ever , akinfenwa is too good 👌
"i'm leaving out Dean Henderson, anyone have any major issues with that"
"nah he can bounce" LOOOL 90 secs in United players already getting violated hahaha
Harvey Elliot over Gallagher is criminal btw, forgetting the fact that Gallagher is likely to be Palace player of the season, has Elliot even got his first England cap yet lol
What about emile smith rowe?
@@sigmasingh849 Yeah him too, is way ahead of Harvey Elliott, I'd argue Jacob Ramsey is way ahead of him too...don't get me wrong I think Elliot's a good player but his name shouldn't be getting brought up before those two, no way
Lb Mitchell and chilwell. Kyle walker goes purely as he could play as 3cb which means tas can go rwb
Kalvin Phillips was the reason we got to the final and you want Harvey Elliot ahead… jesus
No mate Declan rice was 😂
Rice was faultless, but not the England Player of the Year.
Gotta love that this entire episode was not about England players it was basically just a diss about man united players…
i think Akinfewa will go to qatar in place of Kane.
How Rico Henry wasn’t even in the debate shows the amount of knowledge people making these shows have.
How was dier not even considered??? He’s versatile and very consistent in a back 3
Jarrod Bowen is extremely underrated, I think he’ll make it to the squad ahead of JWP or Grealish over goals and assists and impact on the team
Grealish?!? 🤣🤣🤣
I think people forget the key to a good team isn’t the best players in the best form but rather a strong core of good players who know how to play together.
That’s what Akinfenwa is trying to say when discussing Maguire and Pickford. You don’t see Klopp, Tuchel and Pep just drop 5 players if they are out of form. Good relationships between players in internationals is so important, take the English “golden generation” for example. The United players, Chelsea players and Liverpool players all hated each other and we got nowhere.
So by retaining a good core of players who know how to play together Southgate will 8/10 times get better results. Yes we can integrate, Tomori, Gallagher even Maddison and Ramsdale, but this will come with them getting to know the squad and players around them.
Well said. It's fun making and debating these squads but at the end of the day if we want to win a tournament its about the chemistry the team has on the pitch. People can argue all they want about Smith Rowe being marginally more productive than Saka this season but Southgate has integrated Saka into the England team over time. He's been to and played in a major tournament now and knows what to expect and will be comfortable on the pitch at the World Cup. Southgate will do the same for Smith Rowe in the future and his time will come. Same goes for a lot of the other debates. It's why Sterling goes regardless of his form - he's experienced and that makes it easier for him to perform on the big stage. I would like to see Southgate give the likes of Tomori more of a chance however because he is objectively a better CB than Maguire. If Southgate can integrate him like he has done with other young players that would give us a great shot.
