And was actually not remotely error prone. Yeah, I never thought he was 38 until now. Always though he was in his mid 30s or something. Looking at that goal again, wasn't even such a huge mistake, just a brilliant free kick. He had to do better, but most keepers would be beaten there. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skybluedave Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 He deserved a better send of for England. He conceeded from a corner against Macedonia in 04 qualifying and never played again. Was sad. He always came across a proper nice bloke too. Find an interview with him where he doesn't laugh and chuckle. Seaman does a podcast and that Football Cliches podcast counted it up and worked out he laughed/chuckled on average like every 22 seconds or something on his show 4 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob1981 Posted November 12, 2022 Author Share Posted November 12, 2022 Seaman missed the final group game at Euro 2000 which people always forget. Had to play Nigel Martyn in the 3-2 vs Romania. Who was a reasonably solid backup by and large, but at fault for one if not two goals in that game and failed to save a pen. If Seaman had been fit, who knows...

skybluedave Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Euro 2000 was a weird one. We didn't play that bad at times. Just remove one of the meltdowns against Portgual or Romania and we'd have been fine I quite liked our team then too. But it was peak 'we have no left back or left winger". McManaman was great around then and his injury damaged us too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anthrax Dave Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 The one that surprises me is the fact that Dan Burn missed out. He's been an absolute rock for 2-3 years for Brighton and then Newcastle, can play left-back or left of a 3 at the back. Personally, I'd have taken him in the squad ahead of Gallagher or Dier. The defensive side of our squad is a "**** the bed" moment away from disaster. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
XuluBak Posted November 12, 2022 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Presumably he picked Gallagher to take some attention off the absurdity of his CB selections. If "form matters" (re: Abraham), then about half his selections are nonsense. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Personally I quite liked David James and think he should have started more. He had mistakes in him though (France 04 wasn't great) But he had that big personality you need from a keeper in international tournments. Hindsight is lovely but Capello really should have gone with him over Green 2010 I don't think Capello rated James very highly! Quote Few words were spent on dropping Green, certainly: Capello told him he was out and the conversation ended there. “You can’t say anything. Everyone makes mistakes. He made one, so I changed. I put in Calamity James.” Yes, that is how he refers to David James – without missing a beat. “I had Green and I had [Joe] Hart, just a kid. I asked the players. Hart or Calamity? ‘Calamity.’ I put Calamity in because of the players’ trust. John Terry and the defenders had more faith in James. Hart had played only once.” Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

PaulHartman71 Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Gallagher seemed pretty random but if he’s in there ahead of Ward Prowse as the Elneny press like a mad bastard for 30 minutes when you want to hang onto a lead sub then I guess that makes sense. I think Tomori should have gone over Dier and I’d have taken Toney over Wilson but I guess it’s unlikely Dier or Wilson see serious minutes anyway. I don’t see how Phillips starts every game but with 26 man squad makes sense to take him I guess as he should be going if he’s fit. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob1981 Posted November 15, 2022 Author Share Posted November 15, 2022 (edited) Love that photo. Ties off lads, choose your own collar. Not to go all 2021 again, but Southgate has done such a job building all the club culture stuff. Players look like they can’t wait to get out there. Southgate looks like the cool teacher hanging out with all the sixth form at the end of year bash. The whole lot of them look like they are having the time of their lives. Go back and compare it to Capello’s photo from 2010 if you dare. Ties done up to eleven, force a smile. Everyone **** scared of getting on the wrong side of him, then the group dispersing and the Man Utd and Chelsea boys sitting on opposite sides of the plane.
