He's got no chance atm - Southgate has his favorites and he's sticking by them no matter what.
We've already qualified and have 2 games against Malta and North Macedonia which for any normal manager would be an ideal time to have a look at some fringe players or try one or two new ones but he's picked his usual squad with Ramsdale, Maguire and Phillips who can't get in their club sides and Henderson who has semi retired out to Saudi Arabia.
At the end of the season we'll be moaning that the team is fatigued going into a major tournament on the back of a gruelling season but here is an opportunity to give our regular squad a week on the beach to recharge the batteries and name a young squad to give some vital experience to in 2 matches that are irrelevant to us in terms of winning and he doesn't do it, he doesnt even name one or two to have a look at
Absolutely absurd imo |

in terms of importance, for me it was the Sam Morsy winner at MK Dons. It turns out now to be the second game of our run and like Bristol Rovers we were not great that day, but unlike Bristol Rovers our skipper found a moment of genius and won the game for us and we haven't looked back since.
Another stalemate against MK probably would have ended our top 2 chances there and then and we wouldn't have the confidence that this run has given us if we hadn't won that day. |

I knew it would be an unpopular shout - I think Big Mick has given the majority of fans a negative opinion of this kind of manager and understandably so but we need to see what the team lacks and what it needs - it's defensively unorganised, makes stupid mistakes and generally sloppy at the back
Thats the first thing Pulis would sort out - it doesn't have to be all long balls and throws and it wasn't in his latter time at Stoke. I think he would adapt to what he was inheriting ..... |

I'd get Tony Pulis
We score goals for fun and we just need someone to organise us and make us more solid defensively - Pulis would do that
Plus i know everyone here thinks he's some kind of Big Mick style boring dinosaur but all my In-laws are Stoke fans and they actually played some decent football once he's established them in the Premiership |

He was so negative at Spurs he made Big Mick look like Pep !

Reply | Cook on training
at 11:01 30 Jul 2021
Whilst i'm sure the training had a lot to do with it, the other thing all 3 touched on last night was EFFORT - we will leave no stone unturned in our persuit of success
how many times last season did we see the towel get thrown in on the pitch .... Wimbledon and Northampton both immediately spring to mind ... but Fleetwood and Gillingham weren't great either
I can take losing, everyone loses sometimes but the minimum supporters, owners, managers should expect is effort - if you throw the towel in then i don't want them here it's as simple as that.
It seems thats the same for Paul Cook ..... |

Thread | Are we really moaning tonight ??
at 23:58 27 Jul 2021
Sorry i don't normally post in here but I've seen moaning about the game tonight
So i want to make a few points then ill disappear again !
1. Its a friendly - results and to a certain extent performances are irrelevant
2. We have TEN new players, this number will increase, they are all bedding in learning each others games - they are not going to step onto the pitch first couple of games and it automatically goes like clockwork
3. Can we PLEASE not call for Cook to be sacked if we arnt top of the league after 5 games - expect teething troubles we will take some time to hit full flow.
4. I was at the Palace friendly and the people sitting behind me were moaning about our lack of possession and how our new signings weren't having much of an impact .... if anyone else has this opinion can i just say playing Crystal Palace is alot different to playing Morecambe, Morecambe dont have a team of international players and sn £18m signing sat on the bench - one of these peopke also shouted "you fat ba$tard' at Wilfried Zaha who is probably the skinniest man ive ever seen so not sure how seriously i should take what he says but im posting so ill address it. |
