GazzaGarratt 11,066 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 The bit that most people miss with International football is that the best success has come from building squads over time so a process and team identity gets created. I actually think by picking these players he's trying to give himself a better chance at winning the next tourney. When you bring in 6-10 brand new players, thats effectively an overhaul. Put yourself in his shoes and think how hard would it be to get that playing shape and mentality in teh whole squad from their first training camp. he only gets 1-2 games max for a few weeks together and off they go. Football is always made up to be a simple game on the face of it. So many forgot the tiniest details give you the best chance of getting further in tournaments and being successful.

phil bottle 9,811 Posted September 1, 2023 Share Posted September 1, 2023 I'm pretty sure Maguire would prosper at another club, don't understand why he stays somewhere he's not respected. As for Henderson, he plays on a sand dune now, I'd say in a country run wrong uns but that's a bit pot and kettle 😅 IRaMPaGe 1 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/52-football-played-with-feet/page/162/#findComment-156063 Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I agree having a good backbone in the squad is a good idea and will help when bringing in new players to help them adapt to the squad. However we have that, in good players like Harry Kane, Jude Bellingham, John Stones.

The players they've brought in aren't bad, the issue is probably more the fact that the team is completely made up of new signings and no one knows each other. Rather than re-building slowly they've just said 'fuck it' and brought an entirely new team.

J4MES OX4D 10,052 Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 Pleased for Richard Arlison yesterday - goal and an assist to seal victory. Looked like it would be another bad day at the office after a promising start to the season. Spurs also have a nasty habit of losing games like this especially against Sheffield United's second string which they pretty much played like they did in the FA cup encounter last season. Seeing Chelsea down in 14th after spending £1.5bn is glorious and Man Utd ain't fairing much better either.

Spurs were unlucky not to get a penalty or two as well, played really well. Had Chelsea down to draw on the Predictions - not surprised they're still struggling. Sterling was unlucky not to score the free kick though.

phil bottle 9,811 Posted October 9, 2023 Share Posted October 9, 2023 Top of the world until after the internationals period, I'll certainly take that for Tottenham. Not very clever, or indeed sporting, from Bissouma so I hope he has a word with himself. Defence is looking good finally, and only injuries will hamper us this season. Strong teams in the prem will make this a very exciting and tough season, it already is 🙂 IRaMPaGe and Plumbers Crack 2 Link to comment https://forevergaming.co.uk/forum/forums/topic/52-football-played-with-feet/page/162/#findComment-156567 Share on other sites More sharing options...

J4MES OX4D 10,052 Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 I went last night and thought we played really well and dominated large parts of the match. Italy really look a shadow of their former selves and could miss out on a third tournament in 5 years. I remember us having a national meltdown after missing out on Euro 2008🤣 Bellingham is probably the best player in the world right now.
