Jack Grealish with all his dribbling swagger was waiting for Southgate to come and call him. grin

Maybe he should have dropped his phone number for SouthGate

You see that players like Henderson and Sterling were not even in consideration despite being much senior. See Stones too in front of Southgate looking
kavin Philips declined from the video
grealish was hiding same as stones

Yeah I remember Southgate, The only thing I remember about his career was his penalty miss vs Germany

I am just pissed at those people who want to make Saka the scapegoat and fall guy for their senior guys hiding

Saka, his family or social media handler should have immediately locked/ restricted his accounts. It is shameful to see the degree of abuse he has suffered already.

I have seen people blaming the decision to choose Saka as one of the shooters. Ideally I dont think Saka would have been chosen but in that type of high pressure final, At home with the pressure I wont be shocked if some senior players declined or were already jittery which forced the coach's hand

I know this from experience

Champions League final 2012

Ideally Bayern top 5 shooters would be

Robben, Gomez, Alaba Ribery Schweinsteiger

In the final, Robben already missed a penalty in full time and the coach didn't want to risk him shooting another vs Cech, Alaba was suspended for the final, Ribery left the game injured, Muller was already substituted

Older and more experienced players like Tymoschuk and Van Buyten were hiding
So the coach had to pick 5 and included Neuer a keeper and Kroos however Kroos declined to shoot because he was scared so Olic had to take the penalty which he missed

That was one of the reasons for Bayern not matching Kroos salary demand a year later since he was deemed not a leader. Van Buyten and Tymoschuk contracts were not renewed too.

I strongly suspect senior players in England were hiding from penalties and Saka had to step up
I agree with you. The likes of Sterling and Grealish, especially Sterling would have no reason to show up for penalties. I don't remember Sterling participating in shoot outs so I don't blame him the same for Grealish. But their mentality is below the level required for a situation of that magnitude to be honest. I mean you guys are attackers, attackers are supposed to be the most confident of lot
Re: Official Chelsea Fan Thread: Champions Of Europe 2021 by Ibime(m): 4:16pm On Jul 12, 2021
If your only exposure to the tournament was on Nairaland, you will believe Jorginho was POTT and Balon d'Or candidate.

One or two penalties and saves not made by Donnaruma would have changed that narrative, and Donnaruma rightfully claimed POTT.

Other real Italy dons like Chiesa made TOTT, but I am still searching for Jogginghoe name.

Maybe he will win Nairaland TOTT

If havertz started that Fa cup final game, we would have won it, anybody that supports mount being the creative hub for Chelsea is evil

when your country or club needs you, top players are able to switch into another gear to have an impact

They said that we need kane, that timo is the person holding mount from getting 100 assists

We have seen mount playing with kane cheesy did he produce the goods? how about a final with the expectation of an entire nation behind him, when I said that havertz created that goal against city, you thought that I was hating, watch the replay, mount isnt creative enough to plan or orchestrate a play like that, mount is a marmite player, it's no longer an argument about his abilities, it's obvious that he isn't good enough, some people just wouldn't accept that their wrong, they would rather watch other players suffer playing with him than accepting that he is a squad player, mount's days scamming people with vibes will soon be over, the whole world has seen why more than half of Chelsea fans dislike the guy, Tuchel is aware, he kept sending him deep into midfield, tuchel knows that he isn't good enough, that's the truth, you wouldn't push a creative player back if you think that his talents are better utilized in the attacking 3rd


did you know that havertz was the first Chelsea player at the euros to give his shirt to a fan but he sent someone, he didn't do it for attention, he was asked for it and he sent someone, doesn't do things for clout or vibes, serious footballer

E no consign me. I've already said that the best DMs in the tournament such as Hojbjerg and Rice will be overlooked as they don't fit the romantic possession notion UEFA always goes for despite someone like Rice not conceding from open play in the whole tournament and Hojbjerg hustling hard for a small team and bagging three assists along the way. So it was between Xhaka, Busquet and Jorginho. Some polling booth guys were looking forward to this and will be sore at the outcome.

Lol you were right. I am surprised Busquet didn't get a spot Sha. Despite his MoTMs and the fact that they reached the semis and lost out on penalties.

Bonucci scored too. Didn't miss a minute unlike the other guys. Given that Italy wonn that final due to his involvement I feel his place should have been cemented.

I mean you guys are attackers, attackers are supposed to be the most confident of lot

Attackers are not necessarily the best penalty takers. Sterling does not have good physiology for penalties. K leg players like Sterling find it hard to lift the ball off the ground. That's why Sterling is also not good at crossing. These players tend to play penalties low which increases the keepers chances.

Grealish own is mental block or maybe a superstition just like his small shinpads superstition. He refuses to take them for Villa even last season when Watkins was failing at penalties, they went to El Ghazi.

I was surprised Henderson was taken off as he is Liverpool's third penalty taker if Salah and Milner are not around and he has a good penalty record, and is a senior player and a captain for his club.

Other players with good physiology to place penalties high would have been Luke Shaw and Kalvin Phillips. They have good accuracy with lifting the ball thanks to their bow leg and are also older.

I think Southgate practiced with the 5 players that took the penalty otherwise there is no reason to bring off Henderson. If you ask Saka well, he has probably put his hand up in training and been drilled in how Donnaruma dives. Sometimes na overconfidence dey worry these young boys, dem go out hand for lion mouth. Sancho and Saka have no business taking those penalties, it doesn't matter if they are attackers.

Our preseason will start in Ireland later this month...there isn't really any set date (or even opponent, I think) but we might play one or two games there.

The one I know for sure is that we'll be playing Arsenal and Tottenham early August, before the Super Cup against Villarreal.

The friendly in Ireland will likely be executed by fringe players, since most senior players that went for the Euros and Copa are yet to join the preseason.

What else do you expect from some English hooligans, Roy Keane and ramdeuter were right, the senior players should be ashamed of putting a 19yr old on the line in the face of adversity, not that the age matters anyway, but taking responsibility does, they obviously have more experience, faced more pressure and development than him, No one wants to be the scapegoat, I just hope this he recovers from this little blip and comes out stronger, England are still a major force in World football even with southmumu in charge
