Midfield is weak
Attack to much , removing Toney will accommodate one more midfielder

How is the midfield weak? Who do you think should have made it that didn't?

Toney is pretty much our best penalty taker so He was always going to go. Also He plays better for the 3 lions than Ollie Watkins for example.

Mumugate have done it again
Football will lose it way in quarter final
Rice will over work that’s why I am hoping they lose in the quarterfinals

Bro what did Southgate do wrong?

Ibime:
Surprisingly he is growing into a conventional deeper midfield role in the last 4 months and gave a faultless performance in that position again today. Haneverhesperredit

Still not 100% sure of Gallagher in my midfield I'm afraid however if it comes down to either Him or Trent, I'm picking Connor everyday of the week and twice on Sunday. Everyone seems to love midfield Trent but I don't see it yet.

BlueMann:
Might be an unpopular opinion but left for me, I would pick Eze as the starting LW for England. Or the first option off the bench, at the very least

Start in who's place? Foden? If yes then I see the vision. If it were up to me, I'd have Saka,Bowen,Eze and Gordon compete for the two wing spots supporting Kane then have Bellingham,Foden and Palmer compete for the third midfield position.

This is being said online. Come on.

What I have seen being said is "One of the Best ever" not "Best ever". Anyone that says best ever is wrong.

Vischy:
Not better than Palmer record breaking debut season


40G/A

Seven awards and still counting

It's most definitely better than Palmer. Jude won the Bundesliga player of the season as a TEENAGER(let that sink in) then left and joined the world's best Sporting institution in a new league and dominated winning His second consecutive League player of the year world with a Champions league medal as the cherry on top.

Balon D'or podium secured. Levels to this shit.

Ibime:
How did Jude's performance go past group stage?

No be only Senegal dem beat after that, and what did he do in that match sef?

Bellingham wey American boys use play fool for group stage

Na you talk say Bellingham World Cup was generational, I come dey wonder why na Saka dey take all the award? Generational for your mind.

You did not watch his performance vs Senegal abi?

Na only Senegal. That's the same mentality that had Lamps blazing the ball all over the place at worldcup in 06.

Nah this same NL we go dey as the Legend of Jude continues to grow and He finally wins the 3 three lions a trophy.

Android17:
I have not said Saka is better than Vini this season but he was better last season. That was my point.

Then, Vini should be above Salah, Nunez etc this season as well but pointing out that Salah's numbers are better and Nunez' numbers are the same.

The point is, PR is making the difference. The proof is, Haaland's first season was better than anything Vini and Bellingham have done this season yet people are calling Jude's the best ever first season. That is completely bogus and hype-filled.

The sum aggregate of their performances over the last 3 seasons both in Europe and the league us why I have Vini as number one. He is not just a league merchant. He does it both in the league and Europe.

No one is saying it's the best ever debut season. It is however one of the best ever debut seasons for a just left His teens 20 year old.

Ibime:
Na you Sabi

England POTY of the year for 2022 and 2023 was Saka, you dey yarn wetin only you Sabi

Lampard performance in Euro 2004 and David Platt in 1990 is a joke to you?

Lampard was England POTY in 2004 and tournament second top scorer in Euro 2004, you dey yarn wetin only you dey dream

Saka won the POTY award but Bellingham is who the current team is built around and key to their performances over the next 10 years barring any injuries. A genuis according to Jose.

Let's give you platt for His performance against Belgium alone. Lampard's impact did not go past the Group stages though unlike Jude at the last worldcup.

I know you've never been a Fan of Jude but His dominant performances in La Liga has given you very little choice. Long may He continue to shame you

Android17:
It won't work that way.

Count G+A for all players involved.

I asked for Saka last season vs Vini since you said Vini had been the best for a while now.

I have the numbers but I want you to look at them yourself and tell me objectively that Vini is far and away the best based on actuals.

G+A plus performances in Big games both in the league and Europe.

BTW I have Saka in my TOP 5/6 wingers in world footy.

Ibime:
No 1 na story

No 2 is very possible unless Vini wins Copa

His performance last worldcup is already England's 2nd best by a CM/AM after Gazza's in 90. 3 more quality Tournament performances from the Lad and He is already there. Only Rooney's and Sterling's Euro 2004 and 2020 performances respectively stand in His way and the Boy is still only TWENTY!

Vini would have had it almost sown up if not injuries.

Android17:
His numbers are the same with Darwin Nunez and inferior to Salah's for example. Was he better than Saka last season?

You see, it is not as you are saying. Madrid PR is just almost unbeatable.

15 goals in 26 appearances in the league compared to Salah's 18 in 32 is definitely not inferior. Mind you, one utterly dominated the CL this season with MOTM after MOTM whist the other was found wanting.

He was most certainly better than Saka and Nunez please.

liveLongNprospa:
Lmao
Tell me vini's best season for Madrid

It pains me that He was hurt for a considerable period of time this season. I'm confident in saying, we would be looking at 45+ goals and assist if not for that.

Android17:
Accurate clamor: Vinicius is a top 3 winger in the world.
.

LOOOL...Vini is Top ONE winger in the world and has been that way for a while now.

Ibime:
Vini ahead for now but this is a season where Balon d'Or will be determined by Euros and Copa America

This is not even Vinis best season for Madrid

If England's best player since Bobby Moore leads the 3 lions to the promise land, the Balon D'or is His.

Bombblacks:
Brah you literally made the semis last season. The key factor in all these is Madrid not Ancelotti. He couldn't do anything In the champions league with Chelsea and Psg.

We don't count Semi finals as success at San Siro. It's the Big Ears or Nothing.

I'm sorry but His record in Europe disagrees with you. Dude is a Serial CL Winner.

Roland17:
Don Carlo, after next season, we Dey wait for you for San Siro.

#FORZAMILAN

Bruhhhhhh Big time. Since He left, we've been totally useless in Europe.

E pain you, no lie 😂😂😂

fredoooooo:
You dey discuss footy with Assnal fan, what do they know about the champions league final

Sod nah my Guy nau . If Arsenal had Jude, they won't have bottled the league title.

Unlimited22:
For this game wey all of us dey watch?

Yup this same game.

Real Madrid scores!.

sod09:
You are not getting it
He's good no doubt but he's not pressing and looking like the weak link for Madrid tonight

He is definitely not a weak link for Madrid tonight. All it takes is a moment of magic for Jude for madrid to win the game.

BlueAngel444:
people forget his age because of how big and good he is

It's Jealousy. They wish they had Him playing for their club side instead of Real Madrid. A 20 year old utterly dominating a Top tier league is almost unheard of.

sod09:
He's one of the reasons England won't win Euros with their mumu coach
Bellingham weak point is showing in this game, Dortmund knows him very well
Vini and Rodrigo are feeling on scrap

A top 2 player in European footy this season will be one of the reasons the three lions won't win the EUROS? In the history of European footy, You can count on one hand the Number of 20 year old that have dominated their League. As Mourinho said, Jude is a Genius.

JUDE BELLINGHAM vs WAYNE ROONEY

Roland17:
Absolutely. They have too many players on their roster that can’t create shots for themselves. Also, ANT man looked horrible throughout this series.

Antman showboating during the last seconds of the elimination game against the Nuggets really rubbed me off the wrong way. He also made it worse calling out Kyrie during this series but couldn’t match his words as Kyrie smoked him.

Hopefully, this experience will help him learn to keep his head down.

No one apart from ANT in their starting 5 today can create their shot so yh nothing is going to change for the foreseeable future.

Yup apart from one game, He was terrible this series. Hopefully He grows, matures and learns from this humbling experience and let's His talking be done on the court. Established Superstars and legends of the game showing a bit of arrogance is one thing, an up and coming Superstar doing the same is another.

Roland17:
The Wolves should be absolutely ashamed of themselves for coming out this flat in a win or go home game at home!

Bottom 10 offense in the league coming to the fore yet again. If someone shows you who they are at the beginning, believe them. Goodluck to their GM because I don't see how this team improves going forward. Paying 2 supermax contracts to 2 offensive flawed bigs will hamstring them for years to come.

Luka and Kyrie will smoke this Boston team if a reasonably fit Porzingis does not come back.

A40:
Still saddest shit I remember man. Was mates with his older brother so in a way na like younger brother.

Been what almost 14 years. Damn

Fcukkkkk Damnnn! No way has it been that long. Almost 15 years now. Chicago sports fan through and through. Derrick Rose's number 1 fan boy . I keep forgetting He wasn't alive to see His boy become the League's youngest ever MVP

Unlimited22:
Who are you looking at for the men's side?

Does Favour Ashe stand any chance at all against the giants?

Omo Coleman, Lyles, Kerley, Jacobs, Hughes, Prescod, Ujah, Tebogo.


CHRIST.

Favour will be lucky to make it past the Olympics semi finals. I just don't see it for Him but stranger things have happened.

On the Men's side, I really don't see past any of three that qualifies from the US trials.

Khanben:
Celtics need Porzingis to have a chance against the Mavericks IMHO

They absolutely do. A great rim protector not Rudy's level but on a different planet as far offensive players go when fully fit.

Khanben:
In the first 2 games the Mavericks shot 55% at the rim when Gobert Is on the floor vs 100% when he was not, 14/14 when he was sitting. No wonder the coach keeps faith with him

The reason why you can't even blame Rudy even though He earns Max. Their 2 extremely limited bigs taking up over 60% of their cap space is their biggest issue.

Roland17:
You have been spot on with your analysis of the Wolves and Antman. People forget the Wolves made it this far because of their defense and not their offense.

When you look at their starting lineup and bench, they have more defensive players than players who can make their own shots.

Also, Conley should be a backup PG and not a starting PG, they need a PG who can push the ball.

Finch has been terrible since the Nuggets series… to me at least.

Anyone who caught a glimpse of Minnesota would have seen this coming.

Conley at his age really should be playing the Kyle Lowry role but due to the contract Rudy and KAT are on, they'll have to ride him for another year at minimum bit probably 2 years.

How is Porzingis looking? If He is reasonably fit, you lot have a good chance. He won't be a total offensive liability, Rudy currently is plus I trust your Top 2 guys over the Wolves.

@chic2pimp

My girl Sha'Carri is unstoppable, Paris can’t come soon enough because we are sweeping the 100m and 200m events.

She is definitely the Favourite on current form in those events however I am eagerly awaiting the Jamaican trials before making any bold predictions.
