And honestly the warm up. Designed to minimise injury in the game. Of course that’s when he’s been injured.

Hey ho.

What is this man made of?? The finest porcelain.

It’s strange. In his last three season at Atletico Madrid he must have been verging on injury free. In 2017/18 he played 33 La Liga games; in 2018/19 he played 32 La Liga matches; in 2019/20 he played 35 La Liga games. Over the three seasons he also played 38 cup games.

Southgate seems to be picking this back 5 and defensive safety first football almost as needs must as he doesn’t trust a back 4 or the technical quality of englands players to dominate a game. To some extent I agree with him, but he keeps leaving out players who are technically better than what he picks in favour of more robotic safe players.
Picking Saka at left wing back when he hasn’t played there in 3 years and is one of the best right wingers in the prem is bizarre.

England have one of if not the best No.9 in the world, surround him with creative quality from wide areas and pick players centrally and in defence who don’t just hoof it.

Ben white should be picked in a back 4 with Stones, James, Chilwell. Or go for broke and pick Trent - there’s not much between him and James in my opinion.
Saka has to start on the right wing, play players in the system and position they play for their clubs and play attacking football. I’d like to see Maddison given a chance and someone else on the left wing other than Sterling who has scored a lot of goals but his touch is awful.

I watched the last three minutes of injury time. Have Italy lightened the shade of blue for their shirts? I thought they used to have a darker (albeit way off navy) shade of blue shirts than they had today.

I don’t think you’re stupid at all. I never said you were. I feel you said something stupid in that post, which isn’t the same as calling you stupid. Just saying something that is stupid doesn’t make one stupid.

Are you seriously saying you would rather be murdered than live under a corrupt government? Because that is surely what you strongly implied. Hence I think that was a stupid thing to say.

I am sorry if you feel I was being rude. But I think that has more to do with you taking what I said the wrong way rather than me lacking manners.


Greetings Bernard. Sorry for getting on my high horse.

My point was if your live in a country where corruption is rampant (and money laundering is pretty central to that), you have high chance of being miserable or dying/being killed before your time.

In fact, even if we narrow it down to serial killers ... the worst serial killers (in terms of people killed) in history are in places like South America (they tend to move around) and Pakistan. Not because they are exceptionally vicious or clever, but because they are less likely to be caught or even noticed in such countries.

Saka is more than capable of filling in a number of positions but you can get dragged down to the general mediocrity of the play. Crazy that anyone would criticise Saka for not having a stella game playing at left wing back when he thrives as a right winger. That and having the turgid Maguire as his left sided CB....

England play Maguire, Dier, Walker as CB - none of them are good ball playing CB so we struggle to progress the ball quickly. Southgate should be picking his most technically able players, if he wants a back 3 go with White, Stones, Guehi. Get Chilwell in as a proper left wing back, James/Trent on the other side and play Foden and Saka either side of Kane with Rice and Bellingham in the centre of the park. Personally I'd pick that team minus the extra CB and bring in another central midfielder. You could have a pair of 8's like Arsenal deploy and use Bellingham and Maddison/Foden

Here is Partey's injury history. In his 5 years at Atletico he only missed 6 games through injury. He didn't seem to be first choice in his 1st two seasons but from 17/18 season he was all but ever present

I just don’t think at any point the England side should ever play 3 at the back with wing backs. it’s never worked as it involves 5 players who play for different clubs forming a very cohesive defensive unit and it nearly always involves a talented winger being shoe horned into one of the wide positions.

Just a shite idea and going by that team selection it looks like Southgate hasn’t learned from the final defeat when they should have gone for the jugular. It’s the Mike Bassett movie joke really where they joke about changing the formation all the time.

Tierney gone off with concussion in the Scotland v Ireland game.

Author:  long time gooner [ Sat Sep 24, 2022 8:34 pm ]
Post subject:  Re: Supporters Forum

Hmm. Can see this developing badly on Tuesday then.

Fears that Partey could miss the north London derby have been eased after a member of the Black Stars’ medical team issued a positive update on the Arsenal midfielder’s fitness.

Journalist George Addo Junior posted on Twitter that he had received an update from a member of the Ghana medical team stating that 29-year-old was left out of the Black Stars’ game against Brazil as a ‘precaution’.

The tweet read: “A member of the Black Stars medical team has confirmed to me Partey’s exclusion was only precautionary.

Partey felt uncomfortable around his knee and was advised to pull out. He should be ready for Tuesday’s game.”

Post subject:  Re: Supporters Forum

Who knows what to believe?

After further talks between Arsenal and Ghana today it’s been decided Thomas Partey will return to London, rather than stay with the national team for the rest of the break.

Arsenal felt that was the better option, given he wasn’t go to play against Nicaragua on Tuesday anyway.

Concussion presumably (and hopefully) won’t keep him out for the Tottenham game a week away. Scotland have a game on Tuesday away against Ukraine? Will concussion today keep him out of that?

EDIT: The Evening Glasgow Times wrote the following.

“Tierney seemed adamant he could continue in the Nations League clash but it appeared he was told he would be coming off by physios.

The full-back was visibly disappointed to be forced off with head injury protocols appearing to take the decision out of his hands.“

If he wanted to continue and it was the physios who come off with the current head injury protocols as they are, I wouldn’t have thought it would keep Tierney out of the Tottenham match next Saturday.

Yes. I presume he will be out of the next Scotland game but should be OK for us next weekend.

Just reading up on it and the minimum period for return to play after concussion is 6 days. He obviously wouldn't be able to train for a few days either, so he might very well be a doubt for the Tottenham game.

Six days time is next Friday. I’d like to think he will be okay to play against Tottenham. Not being able to train presumably doesn’t mean he has to stay in bed until Friday. I would hope there’ll be physical activities he can do that’ll keep him fit for next Saturday. And if he has Friday to train fully.

It's not really about fitness, but more about participation in tactical preparation for the game. I'd guess he will be able to play alright.

Strange one. Very strange considering that other players are not being released from their international squads. Wonder what’s behind it?

The transfer window has closed so it can’t have anything to do with him wanting to leave or Arsenal wanting to sell. So why?

Wouldn’t be worried about it. I imagine they had to pick a number of days and chose six as a minimum. The Tottenham game is in seven days from the incident.

You’re getting confused. The number of days recovery refers to concussion as possibly incurred by Tierney. Partey injuring himself warming up is another story.
