Surely the best advice we can give JWP is to for him to ask that his name be taken off the list of availability for England; at least until the current manager is replaced.
An in form player being passed over for 4 right backs and 2 injured players who haven’t played for months?
Beyond weird IMO.
Twas ever thus. The only England manager I recall actually saying it was Hodgson, when asked about a couple of Saints players. The others just blether on about picking players for the job in hand, etc, when it’s crystal clear that the “big club” mentality is the order of the day.
How long before JWP starts being linked to a top six club
His agent will be working overtime
Che McAdams not travelling
David Marshall, Stephen O’Donnell, Nathan Patterson, Grant Hanley, John McGinn and Che Adams have not travelled with the squad to Portugal.
JWP on the bench tonight
But Why not going to be in the squad so why bother even outting him on the bench?
How can anyone get in his ear if he goes home?
Plus, why is Lingard playing?
Ooo free kick Prowsie range!!..Oh.
Do we not have a left back available?
No but I’m sure there are a few right backs to spare. Will that do?
I guess it will have to.
The fit extras axed are all on standby - UEFA rules for this tournament allows players to be added to the main squad during the tournament in the event of Covid/injury.
They will get some game time to stay match fit & to have played the system.
Apparently
Makes Jack Stephen’s look good
Sigh
Did that count as a shot on target for Godfrey?
TAA injured. Luckily we have another 9 or so right backs as cover.
JWP can play at right back
Powerful words
