Today’s Football 2021/22 Season

[Simon Buttle]

Ilias Chair looks good

Have mentioned him before, he is a proper live wire with some skills.

 

[steven]

Do we have insane depth?

I’d say we’ve got one world class player, Kane.

I’d say England do have some really strong depth- more than most international sides out there. I agree with Kane being the obvious standout.

But attacking wise Foden/Grealish/sancho/Rashford/Bellingham/sterling/mount / Smith Rowe / greenwood/ DCL…

 

[CharliePotato]

Yes

Who’s the world class players we’ve got apart from Kane?

Not one of them you have mentioned are near world class, not even close.

Kane apart.

 

[Nymzee]

Who’s the world class players we’ve got apart from Kane?

Well if you define world class as a player who’d get in most of the best teams in the world? I’d certainly stick Foden in there for starters.

Fodens a good player, he’s not world class. No chance.

Kane apart.

Don’t think I mentioned world class - not many international sides have that attacking depth to call on imo.

World class wise - I think you are looking at individuals like de bruyne, messi, ronaldo, Kane being obvious standouts in their sides…can’t see many international sides have more than one truly world class player in their midst. Think England’s depth of ‘very good players’ are better than most other international sides.

Define world class then

Who would you say in the England team is a very good player at top level, take Kane out.

Sterling, maybe.

Foden, could be in time.

Arnold, possibly.

That’s it.

 

[CharliePotato]

Define world class then

Ashley Cole, Rooney, Gerrard, Lampard, Terry.

Done nothing with them and they where 5 x the players we’ve got now.

The level worldwide is lower. There is no great international teams at the minute, that’s the only reason this team competes.

Pickford
Arnold/ Walker/ stones
Rice/ mount / grealish / foden
Kane /Grealish / Sterling

All very good imo/ players other international teams would love to have in there.


I’d say the issue has been the centre of midfield, for example when modric and rakitic just bossed them midfield in 2018 when it mattered. Be interesting to see if Gallagher could keep stepping up.

give it a rest lad,pickford Walker stones mount Foden and grealish world class. The games gone cheap.

I didn’t you said define world class, they are my definition of it, top top players.

There is no specific definition.

 

[steven]

Mate - I have never said they are all ‘world class’…name me any international side with more than one truly ‘world class player’ in there atm.

A front four of
Kane
Grealish mount foden

With Sterling/Rashford/sancho/greenwood backing that up …no other international side has that attacking depth…

Back that up with players like Pickford. Stones/Walker/Bellingham/rice. That team should be winning championships imo.
