England's World Cup Squad | Outside the Box Ep9 · Outside the Box with Leon Osman and Tony Bellew

• 0:00
  Right, we are chatting in England. First say there's a few surprises, but two
• 0:21
  shall squad, where shall we start? A few. Whole thing, this is a surprise when I see
• 0:26
  you. Come on then. Are you grievances? Are you grievances? Okay, five years ago, Roy
• 0:34
  came to say a few. I want to say inappropriate things, but you know, he made a few
• 0:40
  claims, we all know what he said, don't we? You know, Jordan Henderson's still
• 0:44
  been in the England squad, I mean what's he there for? Is he there because he's
• 0:48
  he's saying he does a good sing song, is he there because you know he's
• 0:52
  going to come out? Let's be all be brutally honest, is Jordan Henderson going to
• 0:56
  play a single second at this World Cup? I don't think so. I think he will. You think he'll
• 1:01
  play? Yeah. Okay, the only case I can see him playing is is if we won the first two
• 1:07
  games and there's nothing on the third, the third... Yeah, the group's game. Yeah. I think it's that hot.
• 1:15
  I think we I think we have to figure out a way of using our squad and I think if
• 1:23
  if we're going into latter stages of games and he wants to manage a game, I think he's looking at
• 1:28
  I think he's looking at using Jordan Henderson in those games. Are we that are we in that kind of
• 1:33
  story? Oh wow. I do I think he's I was you are you trying to tell me? It's right that he's there.
• 1:41
  I'm I'm not suggesting I'm not telling you I would have picked him in the squad.
• 1:46
  That's not to say, Jordan's not a decent player. Sorry, he's done some very good players. He has
• 1:54
  been a very good Premier League player. As he had an outstanding season, no. Is it a surprise that
• 2:01
  he's in up of other people? In my opinion, yes. But I think I think Thomas Tugas is looking at
• 2:07
  using a bit of experience at the end of the game. Someone said use their now, use their head, use
• 2:13
  use, you know, being in that situation before and I think I'm just trying to justify
• 2:18
  why he's in the team, why he's in the squad. I think that's why he's in the squad. Would I use him?
• 2:23
  Probably not an awful lot, but I think them I think this manager will. I think he'll use him
• 2:29
  regular. I'm not not discrediting him because he's been a fabulous footballer who's had an
• 2:34
  unbelievably good career. You've won the last fair play, but let's just be brilliantly and
• 2:39
  totally honest. He is not going to be able to keep up with the pace of certain players in that
• 2:44
  well cup and he's not going to be able to keep up with the pace and the players in our actual
• 2:49
  current side. I mean, you cannot justify, you've got your leaving three game changing players at
• 2:57
  home. Phil folding, Cole Palmer and I would even go as far as saying Morgan gives white to
• 3:04
  being a game-changing player this season for forest. It's criminal, it's criminal leaving them
• 3:11
  three on. Well, we had a chat and I said at least one of them won't go. Yeah, yeah, Palmer
• 3:19
  or Fold and I said I wouldn't take both and I don't think he'll take both. I thought one of
• 3:24
  them would get left out. I'm surprised both of them are left out. I'm massively surprised
• 3:28
  Gibbs-White's been left out. But then the argument and conversation with them isn't over Jordan
• 3:35
  Anderson because Jordan Anderson is in there to cover Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson as is
• 3:41
  Cobbie Maynu and I would have had another one in there as well because of the heat because of
• 3:45
  the demand and the way Declan Rice and Elliot Anderson play. I would have had an extra central
• 3:51
  midfield player to cover them because the demand on them is going to be they could get injured
• 3:56
  or fatigued or whatever would be the heat. I am amazed that Jimmy Garner is not in there because
• 4:02
  he's sung various styles of play and so many different positions. I am amazed he's not in there
• 4:05
  because he is in my opinion the most like for like replacement to an Elliot Anderson to start with.
• 4:13
  I mean, they're stats this season are as close as you can get for central midfielders if one of
• 4:19
  them's not top in a metric in the Premier League. The other one is. So I'm surprised that he's not in
• 4:25
  as that fifth midfield for that because even if you're sorry, even if you look at the two midfielders
• 4:32
  that they're up against which is Jordan Anderson and Cobbie Maynu. Cobbie Maynu is a great footballer
• 4:37
  but he doesn't get about the pitch in the same way. He doesn't charge around in his all actually
• 4:41
  he's bringing. Cobbie Maynu was probably in competition with Adam Watt in terms of their
• 4:48
  path forward pass. And what they do in those respects but if we're getting into the latter
• 4:56
  stage of competition and our style of Anderson and Racers and central midfielders worked and one
• 5:01
  of them gets injured, we now have to change our style because Cobbie Maynu covered that style
• 5:07
  and Anderson's not coming in to do that style. Even when you say that. Whereas Jimmy Garner would
• 5:11
  even when you say that about Warton and how he plays. Warton has to go over Henderson purely
• 5:19
  simply because he's a central midfielder and I don't want to care what's holding or doing this job.
• 5:23
  The people I'm only saying this because people are going to say we're biased saying Jimmy should
• 5:27
  definitely go and I get it you can say we're biased okay. We'll give you the start and give you
• 5:32
  our opinion on why we think it's not biased because we've seen him all season long. He's been
• 5:36
  brilliant all season. He's been fantastic. In the same way fans of their own players will
• 5:41
  have seen their players all season long and know what they're capable of so yes. He isn't even
• 5:44
  starting for Brentford. He doesn't even start. This is the insane but like how can you and don't
• 5:51
  get me wrong. If we go win the World Cup, no one's going to go easy genius but even if we won
• 5:57
  the World Cup it's still not right. Well, Dan Bern has been started for Newcastle
• 6:01
  properly for a while either and he's under good. I was adding McGuire being left alone.
• 6:06
  I was adding McGuire being left out. He's had a really good season adding McGuire. Look where
• 6:10
  you're going to be finished. Dan Bern over adding McGuire's madness. Yes. I love John
• 6:18
  Stones and I think he's arguably still our best son off but it's fitness record this season. He
• 6:24
  started 25 games in two full seasons in all competitions and only a couple of them have been of late.
• 6:31
  So I've never been in a squad with these guys in terms of what they bring and Thomas Tuchel has
• 6:37
  other people have but if you're just talking football and fitness and competition and experience
• 6:43
  Harry McGuire and John Stones have been England's central defensive pairing for the last four
• 6:48
  tournaments or sorry before this last one for multiple tournaments. So you're bringing
• 6:54
  experience if one of them's been fit and played one or season you'd probably have expected to
• 7:00
  talk Harry McGuire over John Stones in this moment but Thomas Tuchel is a guy who knows
• 7:08
  how to win silverware. He knows how to put squads together. He knows the makeup of what's needed
• 7:15
  and that's why I go back to the Henderson thing which angered you so much at the start. I think he's
• 7:19
  I think he's got to start an 11 in his mind and I think he's looking at if we get into different
• 7:26
  situations when would I use people? I don't know if he's even looking at that I think he's
• 7:35
  managing games because if Decker and Rice breaks down then we're probably in trouble
• 7:40
  because we've not got a light for light replacement if Elliot Anderson breaks down maybe less so
• 7:45
  because Kobe made who could come in and they said but it's a different style of play as he left
• 7:51
  us short there though by not taking someone like James Garner if that happens. Yeah in my opinion
• 7:57
  in that in that position yes like we've got I mean we're up from a 23 man squad to a 26 man squad
• 8:05
  and there's still only 11 players that can play at any time. That's not quite simple. So we've
• 8:10
  took extra attacking players quite simply who have you got who can turn a game on a Ted in an
• 8:17
  instant. We all know how he came can he's a forward this what he's done is okay he's a great
• 8:23
  goal scorer. Drew Bellingham's another one capable of it. Outside of them too I'm not you and I don't
• 8:29
  want to hear the soccer shout because this season he hasn't been up too much. He's an amazing
• 8:33
  footballer but kind of stuff. It's tough to say he hasn't been up too much because he's just one
• 8:37
  of the players. Of course he's won the Premier League as I get it and he's a brilliant footballer.
• 8:40
  I mean he's got to by the way I am starting but kind of soccer. Yeah because I think he's a
• 8:44
  brilliant footballer. He does everything that you need them to do but I'm telling you now
• 8:49
  full fold in this place. So little this season that he will be so fresh and so fit you are
• 8:55
  mate you are you won't find the fresher and fitter player than him this season but who hasn't
• 9:00
  done the miles got the damage or the title the way it on the tyres that he has. So then but then
• 9:03
  are you judging it because are you saying well let's take the Fritz and Fritz players because John
• 9:08
  Stones is fit and fresh but nobody's injured quite so. He has been injured but I'm saying he's not
• 9:13
  played a lot so he's fresh but he's the best footballer and defender that is. Whereas
• 9:17
  folding is in your opinion you're saying fresh and he's ready to go but he's not played a lot
• 9:23
  because he's out of form but again it's white it's played pretty much every minute this season
• 9:27
  and it's been outstanding it's good I think 18 goals 19 goals all comes 14 and the Premier League.
• 9:32
  The only one I can see four and six assists so to like that and you know you're now saying it's
• 9:37
  because he's played too much. No but the only one I can see where you go okay I get it it's
• 9:43
  co-parmer because he's been injured so many times he's been out for the North for a lot of large
• 9:49
  part of it. Phil Ford hasn't been injured he's been ready to go out and I know he's been in a
• 9:53
  note that's down to Pepp that's down to what Pepp and it's time to go to one's Pepp on what's
• 9:58
  as I said no he's not you know the football is you know good is the fact is as he can turn a
• 10:02
  game on its head in its instance he's got qualities that nobody else in this season though.
• 10:07
  Has he done it this season though? No he hasn't but he's been one of the best players we've
• 10:11
  seen over the years in the Premier League he's phenomenal. I'm just purely saying this because
• 10:16
  he can do things that no one else in that team can do. Yeah he was the best player in the league not
• 10:19
  too long ago. He's got he's capable of that thing but then Thomas took a little argue because
• 10:25
  I always think that we forget when we get to tournaments what's kind of happened in between
• 10:30
  and Tugel was it the last squad? Well not so long before where Thomas Tugel tried to play him
• 10:35
  in a false nine and he tried to play him somewhere else Foden and it didn't work and for whatever
• 10:40
  reason even in the World Cup squads that we've had and even going back to the kind of Southgate's
• 10:48
  multiple squads that he experimented with Foden central right left all these these places and by
• 10:53
  the way I'm a huge Phil Foden fan but he he hasn't quite got up to the levels that we expect
• 11:00
  or we see him doing at Man City and you can you can you can talk about people throughout
• 11:05
  England football history doing that one of the big ones that always popped out of my head was
• 11:11
  John Barnes no one could understand why John Barnes of Liverpool wasn't playing for England and
• 11:17
  barring that goal at the American hour probably said that one wrong in the in 84
• 11:24
  he didn't do it for England as much and as often and as quickly and as regularly as he did for
• 11:31
  for Liverpool and John Barnes argued that it was it's a different style of football and don't get
• 11:34
  the ball as much and Chris Waddle had to play on one side of the pitch as well you had to play
• 11:39
  Chris Waddle because he was unbelievable but some players never quite replicate their
• 11:47
  club form. Paul Skulls comes to mind when you think of Man United England and Paul Skulls
• 11:51
  he was good for England as well. No one know but he wasn't as good for England as he was for
• 11:55
  England and I get it and Steve and Gerard's another one wasn't as good for England as he was
• 11:59
  for Liverpool and I suppose Frank Lambert had to to a certain degree but ultimately all as I
• 12:05
  wanted us to be able to you want to play and you know if he's capable of doing something that
• 12:10
  no one else is then I just solely and purely think he's got to be in that scene. You make
• 12:15
  you make a bit of an argument with the players you've just brought up Skulls, Lambert, Gerard
• 12:19
  we had three I mean because I was up against them to try and get an England squad we had
• 12:26
  some ridiculous central midfield players that if one of them came along every 10 years as a nation
• 12:33
  we'd have had the best central midfielder in the country for 30 years solid. But because they all
• 12:38
  came at the same time and they overlapped we felt we had to get them all into the squad at the same
• 12:43
  time which because they were such good players how can you have one of my two to each other not
• 12:50
  being start at the same time and that's I think what Thomas Tuckles trying to do now that's what
• 12:56
  is interviews are telling us that he's trying to build a squad that's balanced he doesn't want
• 13:02
  the 26 best players that England have he wants he wants to create a really good squad in terms of
• 13:08
  balance and what he needs for certain games and what he's looking at and there's no point in
• 13:12
  having palm around folding because ultimately they're their number 10s and we've already got
• 13:17
  Gibbs Whiteen so enough Gibbs White we've got Morgan Rogers and Bellingham who actually
• 13:21
  my top class players. We've got two really good number 10s. I'll tell you how to then four
• 13:26
  part palm I fold and Bellingham and Rogers I had to tuck those two Bellingham and Rogers to be
• 13:31
  the way they're playing at the moment yeah. I probably take it right wing and I'm sorry
• 13:36
  take my other way. Take my other way. I'll tell you what the other broad Gibbs Whiteen
• 13:40
  because Rogers has a lot of the times played off the left for Villa but ultimately I go back again
• 13:47
  so in the last tournament I was my frustrations where was it the last tournament tournament before
• 13:55
  I was getting frustrated with the way England were playing in terms of Harry Kane. I'm saying maybe
• 14:02
  and I got this wrong in terms of what I was saying maybe it's time to leave Harry Kane out because
• 14:06
  we need pace up front and the reason I was saying it was because we had folding and we had
• 14:13
  parmer and we had Bellingham and we had all these number 10s that all wanted to come to the ball
• 14:17
  and we had Harry Kane that wanted to come to the store. So maybe to make all of this work
• 14:21
  we need someone at the top in the other way in stretch because you've got to constantly have
• 14:28
  the opposite movements at the top level to make defences move whereas we were making a
• 14:34
  difficult because everyone came short they all pushed up as a defense made a difficult we couldn't
• 14:38
  get out. Passers had to be stupid intricate for us to go anywhere and it was getting frustrating
• 14:44
  but he went to buy a Munich Harry Kane and everything just suddenly fell into place because they
• 14:50
  played two flyer machines out of the wide who can both run and dribble and want to run on the ball
• 14:55
  want to also run without it in in Diaz and they can score and get it yeah and they can score goals
• 15:00
  which now emphasises Harry Kane's passing because Harry Kane now comes deep so now you're looking
• 15:04
  in England and you're saying like Harry Kane's also going to come in to this natural game is the
• 15:09
  best striking in the world arguably he's going to come into this position but you know I need flyer
• 15:13
  machines so now hopefully Russia will give you that and Garner will give you that.
• 15:19
  Sackhead is going to be asked in my opinion has to be asked to do that a lot more
• 15:22
  he has to be asked to run without the ball a lot more like at least say willing and get into
• 15:26
  these places score and show your dribbling I think that's what my dweck is in for for his pace
• 15:31
  yeah I know but then you still buy what you're saying Kane's going to come deep
• 15:36
  it will do it it's it's it's natural game but it gets your games players to get in
• 15:39
  behind and I think Balungum will be our bright star in this world cup I do I think he'll be the
• 15:43
  main man I think I know what all plays on our hope on Kane in the season he's had but I just
• 15:47
  always think Balungum shines in the big moments but I just I still can't get over and not
• 15:52
  taking full fold and I'm just not having it mate I'm just not I'm not having it I don't even
• 15:57
  if you win the world cup he should be there I'm not surprised about it at all and I can't believe
• 16:01
  I'm saying that I can't agree with that surprise I can't understand I'm not happy but I can
• 16:06
  understand the cold palm of one not enough football play this season for a precocious talent that
• 16:11
  he is a guy that will not enough football play but when it comes to full fold and
• 16:16
  he's somewhat you won't know do you want a player that's I want the best house yeah but I want
• 16:20
  the best out there okay but it's the best the best out there okay but if you're talking about
• 16:24
  the best but they're not playing well at the minute and they're really they've not played well
• 16:28
  for a while and they but they've shown the levels they get are they still the best are they the best
• 16:33
  for now I was Jordan Anderson's out there I was Jordan Anderson's out there okay come on but I
• 16:41
  don't think that's the paper fold now is it no but yeah but I just look up he's a midfield and
• 16:45
  then he's you're leading you're leading football no I'm sorry and I wanted to have to go at the
• 16:50
  madaway K1 ball as well as he says I'll take that I'll take that he's like but I'm sorry mate you
• 16:56
  can't do you can't rip people full fold does he still one player who's got that magic he's got
• 17:01
  that ten he's got that creativity he's your spot a certain pass I'm sorry mate but Jordan
• 17:06
  Anderson ain't found in the past that Phil Folden's going to find madaway he's not found in the
• 17:10
  past or the creativity that Phil Folden's got in his locker and that I hope I'm wrong but that
• 17:16
  could be the deciding factor when you get into a big game you need a little bit of a genius
• 17:20
  well like Hal Palmer came on that game didn't he in the final stages in the future when you said
• 17:24
  to talk to us where are he Watkins done that I already watched go when we stretched that team
• 17:29
  I forget it was against in the in the euros and what a goal he scored what a strike it was
• 17:34
  when he got his chance but we have to do different things in this in this World Cup we have
• 17:38
  that we've shown we can't just be playing one way because teams will be on to us everyone knows
• 17:43
  the strengths of Harry Kane now the world of football knows I mean that fella if I'm unique we're
• 17:49
  in the Champions League final I'm winning anyone's World Cup is the ball and all and that's how you've
• 17:54
  got to look at it but but that means when you're up for a ball and all that means the whole
• 17:58
  welds on your game so that these teams are going to be a Harry Kane they're going to double up on
• 18:03
  them they're going to nail them do whatever we need something special from other areas and I love
• 18:08
  Bakaio Saket he's come good for England on numerous occasions he's been a brilliant player
• 18:13
  but I just feel I want people who can deliver in the big moments and Phil Folden's shown by
• 18:19
  what he's done a city he can deliver in the big moments winning leagues winning champions leagues
• 18:24
  you know back to back leagues time and time again he's been a big part of their success I think the
• 18:29
  only people that you're taking have a fold in are Rodgers and I don't think you're doing that
• 18:36
  but you take Rodgers now yeah I would check out because he's had such a good season but okay I
• 18:41
  think maybe you could take a defender out for him because there's nine defenders exactly you've
• 18:46
  got to make sure and live remento who have both been injured and Dan Bairn they've been
• 18:53
  injured for big chunks you maybe you have to take an extra defense so that's one of the sacrifices
• 18:58
  jadal quantum Dan Bairn the big one is Ivan Tony yeah as well I mean I'm not going to lie right
• 19:04
  you like I know he's a better you I'm not gonna lie me I'm not gonna lie I'm taking
• 19:10
  Ivan Tony because I haven't seen a person who's cool in front of all I'm taking Ivan Tony for
• 19:15
  pens yeah I know me but I could get this and I've had the honor of too many times as I haven't
• 19:20
  seen someone who's cool and has in front of goal since it for a long time you're probably going to
• 19:25
  take three center forwards you're my key yeah cos I can't come it's in front of goal you would
• 19:30
  you swap swap then then if you weren't going to take Tony because he's not going to just only take
• 19:33
  two number nine you've got to take half a learn I mean because it's purely because of the goals yeah
• 19:40
  it ultimately depends on how you want are we playing are we committing to which it looks like
• 19:46
  he's he has done setting up a team to get the best out of Harry Kane and if you're doing that as
• 19:52
  we're talking now with flying machines out wide rush for the Gordon you're giving us stuff going
• 19:55
  that way really asking them to run it behind a scary opposition if you've been working on that
• 20:00
  and training on that and then Harry Kane gets injured after the game do you know do you now go well
• 20:07
  down with the work and on that for five weeks now but Harry Kane's injured so Wally what can
• 20:12
  you get up front and now we're going to actually play a little bit different yeah you can't I
• 20:17
  suppose so the argument there is that Ivan Tony comes in and gives you a simple act you
• 20:24
  know he's a big big big man he's not running behind him wants to play the passes and wants to
• 20:29
  wants to do that so who's the forward he's taking as he took all the walkings yeah
• 20:34
  once Tony Sakhe Manduki Rashford Kane Manduki Manduki Manduki Manduki who's that
• 20:41
  means and at the Gordon so Gordon and Gordon and as Gordon had a great season
• 20:49
  no but if he's he's got to be 40 you know how much more does he have to do you say no wait you're
• 20:56
  saying the Gordon as in no I'm not saying I'm out and didn't like the Premier League up with regards
• 21:01
  to go because he's been brilliant last season scoring in the Champions League he scored a lot
• 21:06
  in the Champions League okay and he scored and he played quite well and quite often he played
• 21:09
  sent it forward but you know when you say on top do you know when you say this so there's there's
• 21:14
  an option as well are you picking players because of what you like or picking them on the form
• 21:18
  that's the big question is and then what's he doing because some players he's picked on the form
• 21:22
  some players he's picked because he likes and because I can't I just keep going back to Jordan Anderson
• 21:29
  I just keep going back to Jordan Anderson here and I'm sorry me it's not on here's what I do
• 21:35
  you've got what we've always done in the past is we pick our best 23 now 26 players
• 21:42
  then got a South K came in and said I'm I'm going to mix that into yes there's the best
• 21:48
  23 players and 26 players but they have to be in form and for the majority of the time he did
• 21:54
  that he made a couple of exceptions with one or two players and a couple of injuries Jordan Anderson
• 22:00
  what what I actually would do is I think you identify your two best players and you figure out
• 22:11
  how to make them shine right and then you can kind of go from I think you go with your center
• 22:17
  forward and you're probably number 10 or if you've already got an outstanding for instance if you've
• 22:24
  got and Bappini likes to play left wing then you go I'll tell you what we're going to build it from
• 22:28
  our left wing it and so we're probably going to build it from Ari Kane and I think there's only
• 22:35
  maybe maybe maybe budges or bellinger I think there might be four at the top most five players you
• 22:41
  could absolutely get into here on that pitch Jordan Pickford yeah Mark Gay Jude Bellinger
• 22:48
  had he came I don't think he can guarantee he'd be on the pitch he asked me because I think
• 22:54
  more that gives him a run oh no ask come on big shells I do in terms of what we've seen and the
• 23:01
  way he's played but go back to your question I this is what I think Thomas Tuckles do and it's
• 23:07
  probably what I would do and then I would think right how do I get the best out of these
• 23:11
  them five no two because although gay might be on the pitch the whole time and Pickford's
• 23:16
  going to be on the pitch all time you're not building your strategy around them too okay you're just not
• 23:21
  you're not building your strategy it may be maybe but Declan can do kind of everything so you don't
• 23:29
  need to build your strategy around getting the best out of it because he can do it all okay so
• 23:34
  with Ari Kane I'm saying how did you get the best out of him well if he's going to drop into
• 23:36
  EP and he's going to do that he's going to get him in that same bracket you can do everything I do
• 23:41
  I think he's the best player yeah potential but I think I think him and Morgan Rogers are a players
• 23:47
  do you think he's on the same level as you're building him I think he's had a great season yeah
• 23:51
  I do but but when this one push comes to shove will you start him with well Bellingham's
• 23:56
  had a lot of injuries this year again you were talking about injury to be in pick so okay let's
• 24:03
  just say Harry Kane and you build your team around Harry Kane he's able to well you let me bloody
• 24:07
  finish sorry he's the one and then you see you get your flimers you think right I need
• 24:13
  flimers she and then flimers she and then now you're actually narrowing down positions already so
• 24:18
  now you're saying well of my wide men I can't have folding and I can't have Palmer anywhere near
• 24:22
  the the wide men so now they're not even competing for their roles so they're now competing
• 24:26
  in the middle because I just can't have them as part of that because I've got to have people with
• 24:30
  real pace which actually he's now got four of them two either side with pace and now you're going
• 24:35
  well use me two number tens and he's picked Rogers and Bellingham yes the argument could have been
• 24:40
  fault folding and Palmer but car quite fit is in there because I'm building my team okay and
• 24:45
  you don't quite fit in with you don't compliment you don't quite compliment King exactly and that's
• 24:51
  it looks to me how he's how he's going about building this team and that's why you'd end up
• 24:56
  it looks like you leave and certain people out and yes you leave him Palmer out you leave him
• 24:59
  folding out but are they have they shut shown in the past then the compliment nor are best
• 25:05
  center forward and getting the best I think I understand that from like the the sense of like that's
• 25:09
  the start and 11 that's all going to play but if that doesn't work then you've got nothing really
• 25:14
  to change it with if somewhat if two if one team just comes out and goes listen two men on
• 25:18
  cane all game we're done and that's more if I was a manager that's what I do because he's that
• 25:23
  prolific and he's that good I just go two years playing on cane you get to kick every five minutes
• 25:27
  from that squad it is okay look at the obvious that we're just basing it round them yeah look at
• 25:31
  buying Munich then yeah let's sell PSG but look at buying Munich if that's the biggest game
• 25:36
  that's how they play that's how they play could anyone could PSG PSG stop them somewhat he stopped
• 25:42
  him in the same game maybe one team kind of stop them but no one else has stopped them and they
• 25:46
  still scored in that game I could have scored more and they've scored this good in every single game
• 25:50
  I think this is I agree but then I could put like if you do it right it is it is it is hard to stop
• 25:56
  but it is possible to stop it you put two men on the Harry on Harry Kane and you kick him and you
• 26:00
  do whatever you've got to do to throw a few more if we take Harry Kane out of our team I don't see
• 26:06
  what what we do and that's why I'm agent and I'm I'm I'm playing that someone just calls full
• 26:11
  fold and drags me to that squad and listen I'm by the way I'm I'm I'm I'm a huge fan of there will
• 26:17
  be another cutoff date in terms of injuries I think because do you belling him do you I do
• 26:23
  belling him's amazing but what what and I think I actually will put me neck on line I think
• 26:27
  you belling him will end up the greatest ever English player ever when his career is finished
• 26:32
  I think he will be the best player to come how are you judging that goals return I'm judging it
• 26:38
  on on what what are you win how are you winning the way you do scoring goals and important times in
• 26:44
  games what are you win the trophy selection I do I mean the kids the babies you're the one the
• 26:48
  league and I think I yeah it's absolutely I mean he's a what he done in the last in the
• 26:52
  year he was sure he was phenomenal I think he lent up to get it this though like you're
• 26:58
  also you're the engineers do what you've set the season also remember this so I'm saying I
• 27:03
  probably start rogers in the first game a couple of things won I don't necessarily and in fact
• 27:07
  not necessarily I do not or would not if it was me picked the same team in every game because
• 27:13
  we're playing every three or four days and we've got a group stages and we've got a 26 band squad
• 27:18
  and you'd usually expect but maybe this time 20 to 30 games and we can make actual real changes
• 27:24
  and freshen things up and we can swap rogers for Bellingham and we can do it then I think to keep
• 27:29
  us fresh so that when we get to the semi finals we're not or not maybe not semi finals but quarter
• 27:33
  finals hopefully we get to and then it's a lottery when you get there you're not going in with
• 27:38
  the players that have played every three days they've played every seven days and they are ready
• 27:43
  wearing to go because you've actually rotated your squad well which all these players are actually
• 27:48
  now accustomed to it's not an insult to swap it's not an insult to change you do it all the time
• 27:53
  but even if I do start rogers going back to the other point how many tournaments in fact so many
• 27:59
  tournaments where the start and team whether it be for England or another team I would go I would
• 28:03
  go back to Italian 90 in my mind where the start and 11 isn't necessarily the one you finished
• 28:11
  with or the players that shine David plaque came out yeah total skilachi for Italy wasn't
• 28:16
  this start fell a came out from the tournament because sometimes things happen in tournaments
• 28:21
  someone gets a moment that they take or even some so there'll be some ones out there you wait
• 28:26
  for place aside and bring someone in a surprise comes along or something happens that someone just
• 28:30
  grabs their chance and the tournament becomes about the holy walkins and how are you yesterday
• 28:36
  yeah holy walkins in the last year or else for us yeah it takes his moment I've been made I've
• 28:40
  been made it last in the last tournaments the race yeah I get that point but then if I
• 28:45
  he came does go down also who's gonna fill them boots because they're big boots to fill with
• 28:50
  who's the little magician you see and I'm like sir I rate belling I'm so highly I just think
• 28:55
  everything he does off the ball on the one I think he's amazing but but outside of him and Kane
• 29:02
  I'm struggling I think if Kane got injured and I've said he's a false law he could either play
• 29:09
  belling was a false now natural thing was to play walkins or whatever you could play as I just
• 29:14
  said before you could suddenly play Gordon up front and then I'm belling him behind him and
• 29:18
  someone off the left or you could even play two number tens two proper flying machines out what he
• 29:23
  does he does actually have more options than than we realize got more options that we're giving
• 29:28
  him credit for yes there are some ridiculously amazing players that we've left that we've got left
• 29:33
  at home I mean Lewis Hall should have been in with an argument Luke Shaw did you see the the
• 29:40
  squad of players that were leaving at home yeah it arguably could take on the squad that were taking
• 29:46
  out there it was good you know I mean when you look at the like said for me creativity is the
• 29:53
  most important thing because when you've got someone I can you know he's taking his chances so
• 29:58
  fans someone who's creative who can finish you can so just place the place the bed and elsewhere as
• 30:05
  well don't just leave all the bed and on how he came we obviously know you belling is going to
• 30:08
  bear that some of that bed and as well but I just I don't know sack it's sack is a fantastic footballer
• 30:15
  but I just don't think his end product being enough this season and that's a worry I think he's
• 30:20
  got three assists all season you got injured didn't he in a certain part sack it three assists all
• 30:25
  Marines were also won the title though was that they actually had my dwecky ready to be available and
• 30:32
  come in in the tans went in previous time sack is got injured Arsenal of struggle he didn't pick
• 30:36
  up a lot of goals or assists though I know just but just being doing it pace and having the ability
• 30:41
  to drop his shoulder and and I think he he played for Lee Carsey in the 21s didn't like my dwecky
• 30:47
  and really shined came in an international football and showed where he's capable of pace pace at
• 30:52
  that level think he's shown it you'll do anything on your play any your play any position you'll
• 30:57
  do a job for you and he's consistent he's obviously got a manager's trust it's quite simple I
• 31:03
  mean and and he quite clearly doesn't trust the likes of your folding or your partner like
• 31:07
  that won't keep happening on what I get I understand the cold palm one he's been injured for
• 31:12
  the majority of the season and even when he's played he hasn't looked like the old the cold
• 31:17
  partner of the previous seasons with the fold one though he's just he's fit and he's in it he's
• 31:24
  being in the season he's got every other week every week he's in there and I get okay he's not
• 31:28
  starting that tells me more that tactically pep setting up differently because he's got the likes
• 31:34
  of Cherokee Bernardle silver top players who are doing different jobs he's just a factor of like
• 31:39
  he might he might not compliment Harland as well as he should and that wide be wide he's been left
• 31:44
  out because it's all about Harland these they're like a Cherokee duck who pronounce of a day old
• 31:48
  compliments Harland because they all want to feed them maybe Phil wants to be a bit of a maverick
• 31:51
  and go on his own sometimes doesn't listen that could be it I don't know but ultimately you know
• 31:57
  you've seen over a year after year what Phil folding can do you've seen him in Champions League
• 32:01
  finals you've seen how good he can be so I just feel you all this to be Phil's best mate yeah
• 32:08
  I just he's the only one who puzzles me don't get it on that good moment of the Defenders
• 32:11
  general concert over Harry McGuire yeah I think that's crazy that that's insane
• 32:15
  general concert come on you couldn't even get a little pool scene and they're conceding goals for fun
• 32:22
  I don't mean I don't mean Spencer they go in there over that's another shot
• 32:25
  Spencer's another one I mean I found it strange that he said
• 32:32
  sometimes players of victims of their club form in the year he said that's why one of the
• 32:36
  reasons why Medweki maybe is in soccer because they're up there and Medweki's winning stuff and he's
• 32:41
  feeling good I'm a Jared Bowen you know things I haven't gone great for the club and that's
• 32:45
  one of the reasons why he's out and there's a thing about Judd Spencer's it and Judd Spencer's
• 32:49
  had a really tough season with regards to what spares have been through you know Jordan Anderson
• 32:56
  but you've just started I do a great thing about the good season stop it yeah it doesn't play
• 33:00
  I need money does quite it's you know no stop it I'm not arguing with that I'm really not
• 33:07
  that is mad so the spence one people always talk though don't hear about the glue within the
• 33:13
  squads and conoco now I'm just talking conoco he was that guy when he last cut for a cup with
• 33:19
  tournaments I don't think he should I don't think he could do it yeah yeah I mean I just
• 33:24
  cut almost patronizing those those cuts because those projects you just wondered did you just
• 33:29
  wondered did can you take Austin 26 players and then just have a guy who comes along just to train
• 33:36
  do you know my point was right here is what is this if you know he's not really going to play
• 33:44
  you know what I think this is going to play not okay well I don't yeah because he's all we've got
• 33:48
  yeah so so so so so do you know what you you've I think he's limited in his options
• 33:53
  yeah you've got better sentiment if you're out there that's also taking consider in the heat
• 33:56
  he ain't getting a box at that age as well as some of the other ones it's really hard conditions
• 34:01
  that they're going to play in so if he's such a big part of the glue what we want to call him up
• 34:06
  the squad let him join your coaching staff and then go and take water let him join the coaching
• 34:12
  staff because if he's that integral and he might be because I'm sort of head over the easy you
• 34:17
  know he's a big voice he's a big presence in addressing him I mean you know he might he
• 34:22
  he kept him the put from him and he is at one page of and I was dead and I thought he was the real
• 34:26
  captain you know what I mean but it is what it is so if he's that integral to get him on the
• 34:31
  coaching staff but take players who are going to be pushing every week because he knows without a
• 34:37
  shadow of a doubt he's not starting and he's not fighting for a starting place and I want every
• 34:43
  player that who goes there to be wanting to fight for a starting place every place should be going
• 34:47
  I've got a chance here I can be starting I can be starting he is the one player in that squad
• 34:52
  who not him and a couple of others other than that's what I'm going to not am here this is squad
• 34:56
  player and I don't think that's good mentality to have I still think you'll play
• 35:03
  in certain scenarios I'm still thinking you'll play it certain times I think you'll get 10
• 35:08
  minutes at the end of a game to see a starting you might play in certain certain moments I think
• 35:13
  the amount of players were taking defensively that haven't really played as you say
• 35:19
  quonser and quonser and stones and Dan Bairn I think that list of defenders is pretty weak
• 35:27
  is is I mean on paper John stones outstanding I mean you know you know you know you're starting
• 35:33
  sensor after you know yeah yeah he's going to go quonser and guy any I think I don't mean
• 35:39
  you get one of the first names on the team she's I'm sorry he's been fantastic yeah he's what he's
• 35:43
  being the best defender in the country so far Dan Bairn in for set pieces you think
• 35:49
  I mean he takes someone for a set piece that's just got more pros here than as well
• 35:55
  no I mean that's just got more passion because it's his relevance to Jordan Anderson
• 35:59
  because is he there as a set of half Dan Bairn is he there as a left back because Jed
• 36:04
  spends as Jed spends cover and left back because I think the left back is the city kid
• 36:08
  oh yeah he's all right he's all right he's just spent so there is a left back cover it's
• 36:15
  Dan Bairn there's a left back when you say there's how many players 26 so you've got to cover for
• 36:19
  every single position and two and some so it was so that's that's where that's where it's wrong
• 36:25
  why Jimmy Garner conquer because Jimmy Garner has played more positions than any player in the whole
• 36:29
  squad this season Jimmy Garner has played left back right back left mid right mid both sides
• 36:35
  attack him with fear the defensive midfielder he's played every position to have a sense of
• 36:38
  holding the center off and goalie very great so he had like I in no way can he well how can
• 36:44
  you leave some out and he's done a job here every and then you after the game you're calling
• 36:48
  these mine mini Valverde is he yeah we'll get him on the plane that made me think he was on the
• 36:52
  plane yeah when he said that you got them out of the match in the first round they didn't he when
• 36:55
  he said that because that's high praise yeah and that is he's a player and that is the type of
• 37:00
  a player you want in your team and again I go back to the having a someone that can replace
• 37:07
  because he's obviously start with Anderson and and Declan Rice someone that can actually replace
• 37:13
  them and I just think if one of them gets injured we're changing are you happy with the goalies
• 37:18
  three goalies Trafford Henderson yeah I mean I mean pick pick pick for picks himself every single
• 37:24
  time you know he's just a fantastic goalkeeper ours is a 41 would you take three keepers yeah you've
• 37:30
  got it haven't you have you really got it yeah have you really it's a big risk what if what if
• 37:36
  I don't want to say what if one gets sent off no mind injured what if one gets sent off I get
• 37:41
  that right but like can we just as the as the third keeper ever been used by anyone we need
• 37:46
  the answer to his hope not yeah can you cross out there yeah as the third keeper ever being used
• 37:52
  and in a championship or there's once again I don't know why he does card tricks I don't know
• 37:58
  he takes shots at training you know they all have shots at him he catches the balls everyone's
• 38:03
  got to practice shooting oh no that's what they do so you've got you know I think we all know
• 38:07
  after you keepers that's first and foremost we've got left out was was he did he fall away a
• 38:13
  while back was he yeah I don't know I haven't seen anything from you castles back line or goal he
• 38:19
  was that has made me go you've been great yeah I've new cast love I think about a bit of a
• 38:23
  downside yeah how do we get on in our first game then Croatia but in fact what you start team
• 38:30
  that's a good question so it's obviously pickford yeah I'll go the city kid left back
• 38:41
  I am going gay he got right reach James we haven't mentioned today right back potentially okay
• 38:49
  I've got to go gay he and I'm waiting it depends on what he wants you want you want football and
• 39:01
  what's in you two well I think you want one big shall of that one and one big who's play capable of
• 39:07
  playing these neat and tidy but he can also finish so it's probably cons and it's cons and gay
• 39:13
  yeah do you get that yeah my backline is oh Riley cons a gay and I probably do go reach James even
• 39:21
  though I'm not as convinced as others my who would you if you knock on these James who you go
• 39:27
  let's in the squad I like live romento when he's fit big gameplay of these James yeah but I agree
• 39:37
  talking about all these people have all got question marks over fitness that's that's your worry
• 39:42
  they've all got quite there's nobody who's been 100% reliable fitness wise at the back
• 39:46
  well we agree and we've agreed to back for let's go into the center of the field
• 39:50
  go and then you go first I mean I said before it's just taking my straight away he's
• 39:57
  one of the he's your span yeah do you do you go on the right do you go back here I suck
• 40:06
  are you a big fan of you being a football you know they're sticking a left foot on the right wing
• 40:12
  because if we are feeding Harry Kane it the back doesn't benefit it depends it depends
• 40:16
  who you center forwards are and it depends whether they're in the box and it's just a game at the
• 40:22
  moment where that's what they know best that's that they know best we will come back to a time
• 40:27
  where we end up with two center forwards and then you'll play wide men on natural that can
• 40:31
  we can stick an Andre can Chelsea on a left wing actually not you've never got a cross
• 40:38
  he played there once it's twice he'd cut in and he never crossed the ball he cut it in shoot
• 40:42
  yeah but he wouldn't across from anyone I'm doing a Declan rice and Ellie Anderson I'm doing
• 40:49
  do we need to hold them in the field as I was Sacka yeah right doing Sacka and why do we need to
• 40:54
  hold them in field as because we're playing Croatia in the first game and I wasn't what's not
• 40:59
  mean I just want a little bit of security I want a little bit of but we're far better than Croatia
• 41:06
  and people people covering their positions in every position the park will bet the
• 41:10
  position it isn't a nice it's the top end of international football and they've got a lot of
• 41:13
  stages of tournaments I'm just in G to know why for ball edging team yeah they've got they've got
• 41:20
  now so I'm doing that and then the left side is my biggest sort of coin toss really
• 41:27
  they were played Gordon who were like he runs in B.I. he scares international defenders and he
• 41:33
  scares defenders in the Champions League or the re-emergence of Rashford who has actually had
• 41:39
  a pretty good time of it and he's just won the league for Barcer and he's fresh because he doesn't
• 41:43
  start every week and he's sharp and he's like looking more like the markers Rashford that we
• 41:48
  looking like he's in love with football remember and he's and I presume I've not seen them every
• 41:53
  single week but with the a type of players that they've encouraged them and taught them to
• 41:59
  just run him behind a lot more because we need that person on the left to run him behind a lot
• 42:04
  and obviously had he came up for it I think he's shown he can be the player
• 42:09
  markers Rashford that he can do a number of jobs he's not just a winger I think hands in
• 42:16
  a goodness more just a winger than markers Rashford is but markers Rashford has the potential
• 42:22
  to be a more of a game winner yeah I think he could be like our surprise of the tournaments I think
• 42:26
  he says Rashford Rashford could be your sub you bring on but I also but I also think
• 42:32
  that's the best I also think Anthony Gordon is going to go back for a lot better
• 42:36
  Anthony Gordon is going to run backwards and he goes going to hustle and tackle hard he's
• 42:41
  going to fight for a lot more but with two holders you probably don't need them to do that
• 42:45
  loads do you yeah that's why I asked him before because I always won't worry when you've got two
• 42:49
  hold me field is that you're placing too much emphasis on defense you've got foresight then not
• 42:55
  that's as you sort of decling rice the kind of self-gate mold what I'm trying to get to
• 42:59
  decling rice we should have moved away from it doesn't do his best just sitting there anyway
• 43:05
  decling rice gets forward it's way does so if you're talking a lot more than just it no I think
• 43:12
  Anderson will will sit at times but he'll also do that I don't think we'll get stuck with just
• 43:19
  then both sitting behind the ball and not going anywhere I don't think we'll get we get stuck
• 43:23
  like that but that's probably me starting team and I'd have no problems with changing
• 43:27
  probably both be wide men did you say you said even both me fullbacks did you say you're 10
• 43:32
  eh 10 to go in the dodges oh wow oh wow I'm starting dodges in that game oh wow okay and I
• 43:40
  don't have no problem with the second game swapping all three players behind the frontman do you
• 43:45
  think that's because he's got the potential to link up better with Kane than Ballinger I just
• 43:50
  think he's done okay in the last so many internationals and he's played well so he's
• 43:56
  flinted and actually he's and he's done all right and you know why don't I'll keep I'll keep playing
• 44:04
  you've done all right you so when you say you take the front the front three out yeah
• 44:11
  who's the second game Ghana it's not an easy game no it's not and you've got Panama the last one
• 44:18
  I don't see it all depends on who's looking fresh is feeling fresh how hot it is I'm a game since
• 44:25
  the days since I might not I might not make that many changes what a problem making two changes
• 44:30
  the being injured they'll be an injury in them first two games because there'll be a player who's
• 44:35
  just played too much football back to back all season I hope I'm wrong but I'm telling you now
• 44:40
  they'll be an injury in them first two games the heat out there the way you're going to go for
• 44:45
  when you talk about teams like Croatia yes they're an agent team but I'll tell you what
• 44:48
  made them plays one of played half as many games as some of our boys and it'll show and this is
• 44:53
  why we need to go after our players better means it will definitely show now if you are I just
• 44:58
  hope it's not one of the big boys that comes out with it yeah yeah that's yeah we all agree with that
• 45:03
  but I also think that we're our best when we play a yes we can play international football quite
• 45:11
  well at times sometimes we're best in the game when we best into life and we were opposition down
• 45:17
  and I'm okay with doing that and then bringing on fresh legs because we've got we should have
• 45:23
  the ability to do that all that I felt like we did so you know obviously we thought we'd
• 45:27
  know he's just named a 26-month squad what does he have to shave that answer to a 23 he takes
• 45:32
  the damn 26 to go when does he go so when do they go to camp and then do they get does he
• 45:38
  get a chance to go you know what you're staying in your can I swap this can he swap it I think
• 45:43
  if there's an injury I think you get a special yeah I'm thinking about the last well cup to be
• 45:48
  honest I don't know what the exact rules are do you think those any players are just like a
• 45:53
  folding or like a parminor will be told generally someone's on reserve yeah if if if there is
• 45:59
  a problem with you ever in that position because you've been in the squad do you know anyone who
• 46:02
  in that position it was on his head and stayed in the gym there was a few it didn't
• 46:09
  because remember when Rune got injured that well could jacks ever make them jacks ever did he make them
• 46:14
  they may have been on on reserve for a while there was quite a few it used to be like five or six
• 46:21
  players that were always in around the squad wasn't it'd be five or six players that were on
• 46:25
  that were on reserve it'd be interesting to know who he starts to stay staying shape
• 46:30
  because I've got enough that on his mind these lads have played some of them have played like
• 46:34
  50-60 games I think had he gains play 50 games this season we've got two friendly he's got
• 46:39
  New Zealand then Costa Rica what day today six a June and 10 a June made it's not far away what's
• 46:46
  on it starts on the 11th yeah we obviously then don't play as games are 17 we don't play to the
• 46:52
  17th so we're about it's it's it's not but it's on the doorstep in it it's nearly here but you just
• 46:59
  you're boarding a puncture well these friends I mean the friendly I am looking forward to it if anyone
• 47:04
  wants I'll be doing the radio from two o'clock in the morning if anyone's interested to anyone's
• 47:09
  open to in the morning I've got a couple of radio gigs through the morning so is that okay well
• 47:16
  I've got something to speak to you about I'm just kidding I was just supposed to say yes we
• 47:23
  can win it yes we can I always get excited we can obviously win it things have to fall into
• 47:28
  play should go a little bit of luck you the draw has to go well because I mean you can win you
• 47:35
  can win all your games there was a tournament a couple of times ago where we won all our games in
• 47:38
  the opposite the opposite side of the draw or outside the draw fell really nice and the opposite
• 47:43
  side went went tough so you do need to get a little bit of luck at times to get to the final
• 47:48
  to make it easy for yourself but we're definitely capable you need to be placed to stay fit
• 47:55
  and you also need your players to be informed yeah that's just sort of the most important one is
• 48:01
  Halley Kane needs to score goals yep and we've got a chance of winning the World Cup if Halley Kane's
• 48:06
  not informed or he's tired or do you balance out we need our big players to be big simple as that
• 48:12
  but you need to get Harry Kane his goals in other words the team needs to figure out how to get
• 48:17
  Harry Kane his goals did he have a good way of doing it who's who are you either going to enjoy
• 48:22
  watching or another country or do you think is going to have a real chance of winning that's the
• 48:29
  bolt user I think France yeah I think France look good but we've got ridiculous frontman only
• 48:37
  the half but I think they're a little bit I think the more emphasis that's placed on him back
• 48:44
  by the morning like I just got a feeling of like it's all about him and I don't like that it shouldn't
• 48:50
  be like that in anything but I just feel like he's such a big Jordan he's such a big personality
• 48:55
  you know and I look back at that lesson we have video where he's big gentleman begging and basically
• 49:00
  to be the frontman who works and works and works and he couldn't be that could he he didn't want
• 49:05
  to be that he didn't want to be that that he went to Madrid and I feel that for me is a talent
• 49:10
  hell when you see a manager basically begging you and know you're amazing and know you can be a
• 49:15
  top player but I need you to do the ugly stuff and when he's kind of not having that I'm just like
• 49:20
  hmm is that it I don't know is that an attitude kind of I don't know I'm just from the outside
• 49:27
  I haven't got a clue I'm just looking at I get that but looking the last World Cup is good
• 49:32
  at tricking the final and the boss he didn't he said yeah like he will rise to the top and he
• 49:37
  will produce in the moments I mean France look ridiculously strong at the top end like listen to
• 49:44
  these footballs okay at the back Bacola, Cherokee, Dembele and Bappe, Alissa, yeah top end
• 49:51
  they've got game changes I don't have them midfield is a strong depth wise defense is very good
• 49:57
  mate they can defend they've got good defenders they've got very good defenders can I say
• 50:03
  it's a little bit of a open mechanical good day do you not I'll tell you one I'll tell you
• 50:09
  you'll be a surprise and I'm a bit shocked at the picks for Brazil Brazil will be a Brazil will
• 50:14
  be there or thereabouts I think they generally are Brazil will be there but I mean I think it's a
• 50:19
  how Neymar swung this one I'll never know because he's being completely wiped out I just
• 50:23
  don't talk with me Neymar I wouldn't talk about Michelle Pedro though if you've got to take
• 50:27
  child Pedro yeah yeah he offers you something different the rich you on the charles and that was
• 50:32
  oh I was a bit I was okay but then I looked at see I was I'm going to say he should not be in
• 50:37
  there yeah I think it's spoken to them you will boom you know yeah once again he's a player
• 50:41
  who offers you something to do I'm not saying he's still folding and can do anything but
• 50:44
  he offers you something different from the Brazilian through the Brazilian forward but it's
• 50:48
  still especially with the being on that in that over that side of the world that continent
• 50:54
  they'll have a much better chance call on Charlotte along just that name when you hear that name
• 51:00
  in tournament football he has to be that does mean something yeah it means a massive block because
• 51:06
  players absolutely love that man I I do always you always enjoy watching Brazil I don't know if they'll
• 51:14
  I don't know if they'll go past I'll say they'll get to the quarters I don't then they'll get
• 51:19
  further I just don't think they'll be the other Spain will be decent they wear you down Spain
• 51:24
  they've got brilliant players midfields I don't know if they've gotten out now it's
• 51:29
  scared the life out of your striker then they've got some good strikers I don't know if they've
• 51:33
  got a scare the life out of your striker I just think I think France are the things Portugal
• 51:40
  Portugal will be Portugal got some players as well you've got obviously you've got Fernandez
• 51:45
  and he's he's gonna be he's gonna be crucial to them but once again maybe he's played a lot of
• 51:50
  games and it's gonna show on players in this in this heat in this environment it's gonna show
• 51:55
  on players as you like you said we don't like playing in the heat I'm much of a zapper it's
• 52:01
  that for you when you don't like sitting in the heat there we are struggling to be honest but
• 52:06
  that's what I'm saying like when they're playing 90 minutes in in a climate like that when they're
• 52:10
  used to freezing I mean they're like to the Brazilians in the Spanish purely I'm thinking
• 52:16
  they'll be okay Spanish yeah because they used to playing in the same climate yeah
• 52:22
  but for for the English teams and even as much as France I mean they're not they're they're not
• 52:28
  getting great climate so I think people are underestimating the heat and the climate and the
• 52:32
  environment out here it's gonna be hard I will say one thing though I love the will cup
• 52:38
  yeah I love the best the only thing is the timings of the games because it's obviously half
• 52:44
  well not half of it's continent away and the timings of the games are like nine and ten at night
• 52:49
  midnight two yeah but I don't know half love it and I love the fuck Scotland
• 52:58
  there I know people always say that you know well Scotts out the English dude I'm looking forward
• 53:04
  to watching the Scotts I love how I love the enthusiasm of it and the Robinson's other right
• 53:08
  so Chinese comments was the end of his career and you know he had what a career the lads had
• 53:13
  yeah fair play to him you know what I mean and he gave a shout out to Sheamus and they're
• 53:17
  so I'm being being nice but I'm being super nice but listen fair what a career that lads I've
• 53:23
  what a player he's being and we all sing 60 answers and she was an absolute bag on my boy's
• 53:28
  steel she's seven million yeah something like that put them put them put them so he's next to
• 53:33
  that one yeah so what he's done and he's been an instrumental part of that team Annie of the
• 53:38
  whole squad and fair play to him so I think to go out for him on a well cup it is some going
• 53:43
  on listen to me he'll have a few suitors waiting for him in the in the summer he'll have a few
• 53:47
  teams going I don't think you're quite past it because he's played an awful lot of football this
• 53:51
  season still the Liverpool he still played quite a lot of football how far do you think Scott
• 53:55
  looking go you think they can get out the group what is their group that's it the group
• 53:59
  their group is Morocco I think Haiti and Brazil oh well that's not an impossible that's not a
• 54:08
  group of death I'm all right about that what's up I love Haiti's schedule well they're not beaten
• 54:14
  Brazil Brazil Morocco Haiti Scotland yeah well don't ask thank you what found a knowledge
• 54:21
  thank you I told you he forgot more than I know you need to check to you see so do I think they
• 54:27
  can get out there is it the top two potentially three yeah I'm the world club's maps 48 teams and
• 54:33
  I think only the bottom let's say the group's bottom eight and the fours forward okay it's
• 54:38
  something like the crazy amount of people I'm going to put my neck on the slide and I'm going to say
• 54:41
  what's the slide the line just line I'm going to put my neck on the line I'm going to say yes
• 54:47
  Scotland we're going to get through because I think I don't know you know I think Morocco's on our
• 54:51
  game but it's all on the heart it's all on the ball Haiti I hope Haiti got to go
• 54:58
  they have to beat them uh Haitians are not going to like me I think Morocco have been decent and
• 55:04
  recently three points might do it you know three points might be able to get to know it won't
• 55:08
  it won't because they're all I'm not going to be funny they're all going to get to the wall off
• 55:11
  if the bottom two teams draw a couple of times then they're not getting through are still all
• 55:16
  going to be Haiti yeah three points so if they beat them three points can't be enough it can't
• 55:21
  be the way the way it's going to be how many are the fair place teams go through
• 55:25
  so of the Haitian what's France's group because I have seen a group of death where I
• 55:30
  perceive who's got the group of death there is a really good group I'm trying to think
• 55:35
  I've definitely seen a really hard friend Senegal Iraq Norway that's that is quite tough that's
• 55:40
  that's not an easy group got Harland in the Norway Senegal of well won the Africa nations France
• 55:47
  the French are mighty strong you know the French are really strong they're my favourites to be honest
• 55:54
  like yeah I think they're the ones who you're looking at and going don't want to play that too many
• 55:58
  always I don't mean I'm always find the way but then I haven't changed the not the well good like
• 56:04
  the art they always find the way they've got quite an easy group the French don't who's winning it though
• 56:09
  tell me who's winning it I'm opening land I'm I'm I'm I'm a you know three lines on a
• 56:15
  but I do you know you just you're saying that with a bit of hope aren't you and you're just
• 56:20
  open that's almost too cool is the man to get it over the line I think France will win it but I want
• 56:25
  Portugal really yeah I'll just look Christian on another come on I mean I went and met him
• 56:32
  lost the respect for you there why wow because you think it's funny if Tottenham go down but you
• 56:37
  think it's crazy I don't know I love you I met every one of everyone's like the world's great
• 56:45
  split which I do think technically it is but I just think I don't think I have another great
• 56:51
  split I think I never seen anything like me life ever and I'll never see nothing like that again
• 57:02
  never have I seen a player put so much fear into it's a people got one but I'll do you know it's good
• 57:07
  I'll change the game yeah when players do what they do when they they actual game change in
• 57:14
  players like they change the game literally in front of your eyes like you don't think that's
• 57:18
  possible what you can do and for Ronaldo Ronaldo Daniel was that I think I announced that message
• 57:23
  being that I think Christian Ronaldo's that in a different way but I met Ronaldo in Christian
• 57:29
  Ronaldo in Saudi and I've all obviously I've been and I've been around them not around I've seen
• 57:36
  them and I've seen a lot of people who thought he's a big unit him and what we just shook hands
• 57:41
  and like an old man has just thought I got old so I thought trying to see what he's like
• 57:45
  just want to touch him yeah touch him and just give us a pop out of the shirt too and he just said
• 57:50
  to me it's lovely to me as I said you know what mate I said you've impressed me even more now
• 57:55
  and he went and why and I said because I can't get over the size he's the same size as me
• 57:59
  he's six three but he's definitely the exact same but I'm six three but he's six
• 58:04
  he's definitely I mean like I just don't know he's in club that ship me I mean I couldn't
• 58:11
  dream of that body but I just thought to be such a but I'd be as big as he is in a big unit
• 58:18
  and to move the way he moves and to do what a way to go out of the world
• 58:22
  so let me just say in Clarify England I want to win but outside of England it would be
• 58:26
  it's going to be who's going to be your your surprise package for yourself and I'll tell you
• 58:31
  mine Brazil can't be a surprise of course you can but I want I think I the Senegal
• 58:35
  yeah I was going to say that just one or not one I can't wait I can't wait I can't
• 58:41
  wait they took it off them they took it off them did you take it off them yeah I thought they
• 58:47
  got a gift to them so I got given to my rock oh yeah right well but Senegal won the game
• 58:53
  yeah but Senegal won the game so I'm going to say Senegal
• 58:56
  irons to the garlic some other stuff it's all the problem is no one even knows as if you
• 59:01
  could have a chance and I'll tell you the other one I think might be Canada
• 59:06
  Canada what's the cute generally generally right a home nation does okay well what
• 59:13
  what you say could have picked USA I could have picked I could have picked yeah I could have picked
• 59:21
  music Canadian football you say the best Canadian football in the world probably I found
• 59:28
  what they was like okay give me another one don't know
• 59:33
  well it's really a lot of Mexico so it's Mexico Canada Mexico is a
• 59:38
  one of the most generally to be fair Mexico are usually a decent team and we've had a
• 59:44
  American two American teams are Finch Farm this week during the competition
• 59:49
  they're always good athletes aren't they they're all super athletes they're all strong
• 59:54
  and they're obviously the year above that we're playing but I'm not joking mate that I use
• 59:58
  getting better they're not just athletes any more than you Americans you're the first
• 1:00:08
  now the football like you said I said I said to one of the coaches at Evan
• 1:00:12
  said you want the football like you used a lot better than I expected that I said you want
• 1:00:15
  to like the the catching on so it was now you know another five six years mate they're going to
• 1:00:19
  be up to the level I had to talk about the the way that's still massively growing do you
• 1:00:25
  don't you don't have an academy do you know do you don't have a card in soccer and in soccer
• 1:00:29
  they have academies for the NFL and so but you know in actual football they don't have academies
• 1:00:35
  under like 15 in America it's not their national sport that was it
• 1:00:41
  they were Beckham said they're so far behind it's not their national sport NFL is
• 1:00:45
  I think they're playing sports they've got to be a set size to be basketball
• 1:00:51
  yeah but yeah so why are you coming up with a candidate don't think Stephen Curry agrees
• 1:00:55
  with these shots on Steph Steph Curry you know yeah I can't I've got no chance I'm not saying
• 1:01:02
  they're gonna win it they're not even going to be a shot I'm not saying they're going to win
• 1:01:05
  it's a real shock if they get more than one point or you know they're using the
• 1:01:08
  common excuse that using Canada Bosnia Caza Switzerland so this is why I said it's a surprise
• 1:01:15
  oh my god they're doing it all right made a home made a home made a home made a home
• 1:01:22
  my lord you're going to be sitting there if you would
• 1:01:26
  make a trip out again Canada Bosnia Caza Switzerland they can't agree
• 1:01:31
  they don't know all right but they won't go above Switzerland
• 1:01:35
  yes Switzerland should win Switzerland is a good side
• 1:01:38
  granite zach is a crach and player what a player is bracket and player
• 1:01:42
  and I know we we'll finish up you you haven't said who you think are going to win it
• 1:01:45
  you got you got it under quits it's going on
• 1:01:53
  don't say Canada Spain Spain I actually think that'd be a shock
• 1:01:58
  yeah I think that'd be a shock I wanted to say England if I'm being honest
• 1:02:02
  and then I thought Argentina because it's hot and they'll love it over there yeah the heat
• 1:02:10
  hmm yeah so who's the best American player about now
• 1:02:14
  and post it to see much of them who is it still I'm Anthony Robinson yeah the fuck
• 1:02:20
  yeah because yeah well at this will come what we do get we get stars don't we
• 1:02:25
  someone shines and every country has come on who shines for them and someone who plays well so
• 1:02:30
  at the interest in this time for who's going to shine for which country like so I think
• 1:02:34
  bellinger will be our major boy I think when it comes to I think them belly is going to steal
• 1:02:40
  the headlines but can he link with him Bappie I can him and Bappie go in the same team and that
• 1:02:48
  is the shop still the manager for France yeah he's last told him last one before he's got a tough
• 1:02:52
  kick yeah Dan's taken over afterwards isn't he I've heard that yeah because I was furious
• 1:02:56
  on wifes and these Dan has not been in football since winning four champions it might have been me
• 1:03:00
  that started out rumour yeah you've got to start them belly I don't care you've got to start
• 1:03:09
  and talk about their players before yeah donate them ballet man Bappie well I mean no one's keeping
• 1:03:16
  them out so you just better change France are going to win I think they're all agreement this
• 1:03:21
  you better hope you just better hope you score more than them and then even at the back they're
• 1:03:26
  good it's only central me feel what you're thinking oh you might do you're out there you know
• 1:03:30
  the likes of Declan Rises and your bellinger's getting at them we'd have a chance but that forward
• 1:03:35
  line means it is from how far England are going to go did we ask that you said you're going to win
• 1:03:38
  them semi's our final we won't get less won't get less than the semi's we'll be in the semi
• 1:03:44
  figure no chance and depending on the to we know the draw if on what side we're on or just like
• 1:03:49
  if you said you haven't done it yet it's too hard to wear yeah but you never know are we on the same
• 1:03:53
  side the draw does France when you just never know because if they can finish their second and third
• 1:03:57
  and the B plays the A no no but you you you go on after potentials that we win our group
• 1:04:01
  France when they're where does that finish us does that go on the same side not sure I haven't
• 1:04:06
  done me homework that didn't you don't have to do that the four next time I say if you ask if if
• 1:04:12
  if we if we are both don't come across to before the quarter final I don't think anyone else
• 1:04:17
  going to beat us I think Thomas Tuchel will get his tactics absolutely spot on I really do I
• 1:04:24
  hope so mate I would love it because I do think he's a very good manager and he's a winner I'm
• 1:04:28
  just still mystified obviously with Phil fold but it doesn't matter I'm mystified with Harry
• 1:04:34
  McGuire as well would you be all right if we won it without Phil folding but he he knows more than
• 1:04:37
  me he does know more than me I mean you know I got the feeling you'd be getting in my flight out
• 1:04:42
  there just to go celebrate with that I just I just think I don't know I feel for Phil fold
• 1:04:47
  that I really do because it it just pains me that such an amazing footballer isn't enjoying
• 1:04:54
  football or playing it's like I just think what a player lad what what you've got I very really
• 1:05:00
  see in this country and I just think it's it's criminal that you're not playing enjoying football
• 1:05:06
  because he made maybe new managers exactly where they're not telling me when that meresco if
• 1:05:11
  if I was that meresco he beat me first pairs of my arms around and I'd be urging him to listen
• 1:05:16
  to some joke the the central focus obviously we know what ailing does but I want to know what that
• 1:05:22
  show me show me what you are about it's all about you and the fact that meresco has been around
• 1:05:27
  before I mean I'm only furious now because Jacky this is like he's going to be going back home now
• 1:05:32
  don't he which is an absolute no it does does this isn't it so he's going to be getting
• 1:05:36
  requests to back him because he meresco spends enough time around and then he knows them all
• 1:05:41
  and he's just like I love it I love it a bit of Jack because you wouldn't want to be the Jack
• 1:05:44
  leaders in your team yeah and then I bet you some of that city team we're going to want to go
• 1:05:49
  I'm not playing for him I don't want to play for I want to go somewhere else because the
• 1:05:53
  sun plays in that city team that chair he that doc who you've got to feel for they've got so much
• 1:05:59
  talent and open other silver leaves to season but there's so much talent about there
• 1:06:03
  they're going to be they're going to be fighting the next season do you do you yeah
• 1:06:08
  do you think Roger he's done they're probably getting really understanding that'll be some
• 1:06:12
  sign on it once again it all goes on the respect that they love for that meresco the Chelsea
• 1:06:18
  lads all seem to love him didn't do them any good like but they all seem to love him and you just
• 1:06:23
  think that's one of the most challenging job that's a poison challenge that says job
• 1:06:28
  to poison chalice because no one can live up to a pep's not like Alex ladies and ladies
• 1:06:32
  man united no one can live up to that yeah but it's not a bad it's not a bad job to work in
• 1:06:39
  a million job like slot walked into a such a nice little job to look at what you can actually
• 1:06:45
  get an instant success longevity is tough to create one of one of one of a cloth instant success
• 1:06:51
  and maybe less now his influence being shown on Liverpool he don't want him I don't know one
• 1:06:56
  Liverpool football I know I know a couple of I'd outside of the major I don't really know one
• 1:07:01
  Liverpool funny one slot to stay and even now that's after them getting into the Champions League
• 1:07:07
  and winning the league in his first season but that'll be brutally honest he won it with
• 1:07:10
  the Crop's team and I don't care if people say well Crop in his more place this season before he
• 1:07:15
  left that was Crop's style of football last year that was Crop's team this year it's I would call
• 1:07:21
  it to me wants to get back to the heavy metal or list so I can write swing at him didn't he?
• 1:07:25
  he's trying to worry yeah he's throwing a grenade in that he literally dropped a grenade in that
• 1:07:34
  he dropped a grenade in that josh new man I'll see yous after yeah I thoroughly could you
• 1:07:39
  have a question could you have a ask if you were the other player in your team who was as important
• 1:07:45
  and as pivotless most Salas being to the book is listen I have to fill it me physio
• 1:07:50
  he's a Liverpool scene says all these he's always on me Peter and he says most Salas every right to
• 1:07:56
  say whatever he wants he said because you know what no one can ever call most Salas that's what he
• 1:08:01
  says and I listen to him because he knows football he's been a physio at a Liverpool football club as
• 1:08:04
  well and he said to me you know what most Salas should have said when people were getting on his
• 1:08:09
  back and giving him stick why don't you be the superstar this week why don't you be the hero
• 1:08:13
  this week because I've been here over a year after year and it makes you think to yourself doesn't
• 1:08:18
  you wonder at what point did that manager name 10 how does that what does that do you start
• 1:08:26
  a player because you play the players in teams and you've always been identified and gone he's our
• 1:08:31
  star he's the one who does most things for us what do you do if he tens do you back him or
• 1:08:37
  you back the manager as a as a fellow player yeah for I am it depends on the circumstance but
• 1:08:44
  generally your Salas teammate what are you doing generally you're trying to get Salah back on
• 1:08:49
  side and not follow the manager yeah not what you do what I mean is well people listening you
• 1:08:56
  have a full full play if a player jumps on Salah's side without having or someone in your
• 1:09:02
  dress who's side without having any without having a real clear understanding of being right
• 1:09:08
  then it's a semi sort of mutiny in terms of well we're going to put it we're not going to get
• 1:09:15
  the manager sacked here because we're going to stick out we're going to evoke against it with
• 1:09:18
  the downscales you're basically and then the manager's career but is it not obvious that you do
• 1:09:23
  agree with him when the like and post and when the no one's come out and said you're wrong for
• 1:09:27
  this yeah so don't do y'all back in him yeah but you're just about get away with the way
• 1:09:32
  they're doing it you might be doing it vocally and you come out and do as you're saying do not
• 1:09:36
  just go and like pick sides and when you're in the dress room you think it's with a player like
• 1:09:41
  any chance get for come on have it and you're saying to the player come on let's sort this out
• 1:09:46
  you're not helping any of us yeah we're all trying to be a team and use a ruin in this for me
• 1:09:51
  do the one of you's come out and say that amongst each other the one does one of them do that
• 1:09:55
  i don't know about now but you know it sounds like captain in it really
• 1:09:59
  or is it just down to him it's down to everyone it's evil captains you used to be now
• 1:10:05
  yeah it's not they're putting a different amount of kids running kids
• 1:10:08
  having a different well yeah but one in which England they're going to win the World Cup
• 1:10:12
  yeah let's hope they bring it out bring this cost
