Association Football Discussion Thread (club level)

[Prime Time]

Been a while since anyone has been in here.

Anyway.... some big wins for Arsenal and Liverpool of late, so maybe City won't walk the title this year.

Oh, and Mason Greenwood got remanded today after breaching his bail conditions.

Getting this in before the official announcement. My 26 England Squad (provided they are fit, there's some doubts still)

GK
Pickford
Ramsdale
Pope

DEF
Stones
Dier
Coady
Walker
Tomori
Maguire
Trippier
White
Shaw
Alexander Arnold

MID
Rice
Bellingham
Mount
Henderson
Foden
Grealish
Ward-Prowse

FWD
Kane
Saka
Sterling
Wilson
Rashford
Sancho


Easier than I thought, though that is down to injuries. Otherwise I'd find a way to include Reece James, Ben Chilwell and maybe Kalvin Phillips.

Elephant in the room is Maddison. Completely irrational opinion, but I don't think he fits in the general makeup of the side.

EDIT: Maddison, Gallagher, Phillips in, Sancho, Tomori and Ward-Prowse out.

Not surprised with the Maddison choice, but Gallagher is a massive surprise for me and in Phillips you have a player that hasn't played for more than 90 minutes all season. Would be surprised if Gallagher gets on the pitch at all.

Tomori can feel hard done by in my opinion, Ward-Prowse was a long short and Snacho has paid for poor form for the last year. Was hoping for a Sancho, Rashford and Saka redemption penalty shootout story.

I quite like the look of the squad, and think the likes of Gallagher and Phillips only got in due to the extended size of the squad to 26 from 23
