Was just wondering if Kalvin Philips was getting confused with rugby and thought he was only allowed to pass backwards? |  | | |

I like Phillips and I like Rice but I think Henderson has shown how helpful it is to have a bit more ambition and dynamism in one of those central midfield roles. | | | |

Where is Mount the invisible man, by the way? He's not amongst the subs neither. [Post edited 12 Nov 2021 21:32]

Played in the 4-0 battering of Hungary and the 8-0 aggregate defeats of Andorra too.
I don't understand the Mount hate. He's been fine if not flashy. |  | | |

I think we have the best squad we've had in decades. 1st half last night was like watching Rangers. Great fun going forward, back door wide open. But, I would prefer to see this squad simply outscore other teams because it can. Not many teams will play as terribly as Albania did in the 1st half but by the same token a semi final and a final later this squad really looks like it can get to final in the next WC. |  |

Albania are a tricky side at the moment and quite tenacious, if lacking in quality. The first half was a total dismantling of them, we made them look very poor, when in fact they are an OK side. I thought Kane was quite superb in his positioning and finishing last night. We do look increasingly like having one of the best England squads in several generations and they look like genuine contenders. The best part is how young and how deep the squad is becoming. Remember that Eze was knocking on the door prior to injury, so fingers crossed will get his chance next year too. |  |

I don't hate him. I just think he's kept on when others are substituted when he doesn't seem to have done anything much at all. I'd like to see him more involved if he's going to take up a place. This is based largely on the matches i saw him play in the Euros as I don't usually watch England in the qualifiers/friendlies. |  | | |

Can’t imagine you hating anyone Nix.
He does his job in the same way Henderson and Milner etc did.
All about ball retention and pace setting. Very useful counter to the Sterlings etc. Every side needs one.
I wouldn’t pick him mind. [Post edited 13 Nov 2021 13:54]

Spot on Nix. To me, he's another Lampard who will look good when the opposition aren't all that (hat trick in the recent 7-0 battering of Norwich for example, which by the way are his only goals this season) but mostly go missing in big, important games.
He'll probably most likely end up with 80-90 caps but you'll be left wondering what he ever did. | |

Mount is so over-rated.
How he has picked in the recent past above these lot I will never know:
Foden
Grealish
Sterling
Henderson
Bellingham
Because he has been picked above these players before.
Crackers that.
Even if you subscribe to the idea that you want a box to box midfielder who may create a chance, get a goal or at least drive the ball upfield, is he really any better than Lingard for England? The answer is no.
I would say even Ward-Prowse should be ahead of him. He's at Sancho's level for England and that's when Sancho does not play well. Mount is an average England player, in a squad that has exceptional talent. He shouldn't even really make the squad as that deprives another player who could be picked instead.
If you want a player who could do something for England who is a Chelsea player, then Hudson-Odoi is better than Mount, even for Chelsea! |  |

HUdson Odoi has picked up a bit this season, and I was a bit surprised Southgate didnt pick him for this squad, and get his nailed in for England as selection rules have changed and he can still play for.... I think Ghana??? |  | | |

He was called up to the U21s but turned it down so suspect he’s in the doghouse a bit.
I see Conor Gallagher has been called up this morning. |  | | |

Most Chelsea fans I know rate Mount very highly. But I would agree that his appearances for England have generally been disappointing, albeit he’s playing as part of a rigid system which is more about team cohesion than individual brilliance (basically modern football).
Bit mad to suggest that Hudson-Odoi’s a better player though. Wasn’t he sat on the bench (if he was lucky) while Mount was helping the scum win the champions league last season.
I suspect the reason why Tuchel and Southgate both like Mount is a combination of his technical ability, work rate and he’s capable of adapting to play in different systems. Don’t underestimate the last one which is increasingly important in the modern game. |  | | |

Even though it's fun, I think in general we (football fans) need to stop pinning all our frustrations on one player or manager as if their inclusion or exclusion is a magic bullet to success.
We become fixated until a point of no return where it becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. [Post edited 14 Nov 2021 12:12]
