TheGingerQuiff 2412 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Southgate strikes me as the type who'd not pick Shelvey because he's being told to. If his form had gone under the radar he'd have already picked him. When he doesn't and we turn in abject displays where we fail to break teams down he should be sacked.

Diers a jumped up centre half for me I don't know which comment I'm more amazed by. My mate said to me the other day, "Kante of Chelsea is shite." He won the league for Leicester and he's arguably in the top 3 world wide in his position. This though, is it serious? Jordan Henderson is shockingly mediocre and it staggers my how many caps he has. On the other hand, when fit, Dier is a perfect sitting midfielder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McFaul 35 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Shelvey would deserve a place in the starting eleven on present form, but I tell you who wouldn't...Jordan fucking Pickford. 3 goals conceded yesterday and all of them his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know one thing, Liverpool have been better with Henderson in the side than without him. Dier isn't as mobile and his passing range is even worse than Hendersons.

You're entitled to your views but for England Henderson has done little and Dier's passing is quality in my view. As are his free kicks and he's good in the air as he proved in Germany with his winning goal in Berlin the other year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dier is the third best midfielder at Spurs tbh after Dembele & Wanyama, who also did most of Sanchez's defending for him at Wembley the other night. He's fuckin brilliant old Vic iyam..

Assuming Dele isn't going either then. Big nosed boring penalty missing cunt Aye “there will be no surprises” in the squad selection Southgate has said, so basically it’ll be in line with recent friendly squads. Feel bad for Shelvey as the lad looked like he was buzzing when asked about possibly featuring for England after the Chelsea match. The reality is Southgate won’t have even gave him a second thought, which is pathetic. What is even more pathetic is that a horrifically limited player like Jake Livermore will be selected over him. Tbh he’d probably select Wilshere over him despite the lad only playing about a third of this season and his issues with injury being likely a bigger issue than bad discipline from Shelvey (as tbh Shelvey hasn’t been bad 2nd half of the season with that and would likely only be a 2nd option but at least he’d be an available plan B unlike sick note).
