Morgan Gibbs-White

[SteveBullsKnee]

Been called up to the England U17 squad for the world cup in India. Fair play to him and good luck.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

Well done Morgan, really happy for him

 

[robwolf]

Obviously very happy for the lad. It also possibly explains his cameo last night. Whoever manages England u17s must have told him to prove he's back available before the squad announcement

 

[JOSWolf]

Interesting that Scott Sellars has said he wanted to play him for 45 mins last night but was specifically told only 30 mins. Nuno calling the shots! Tims Spiers said a few weeks back that Nuno was excited to see Gibbs White play. He could have a part to play for us this season in a long hard season.

 

[WalsallWolf]

Could he potentially play the "central" role of the front three?

 

[Stafford]

Will probably be shoved wing back like Graham and Ronan.

Hes a centre mid, surely we'd be better off seeing if Donovan Wilson can play up top before trying to change one of our brightest prospects position.

 

[TacticalWolf88]

A great talent. Our best so far I have seen imo. Both footed, elegant, athleticism, technique, vision, passing can carry the ball and the one that stands out for me, his decision making

Watching him in midfield amongst Saivet and Colback I saw enough in 30 mins

Donovan Wilson is a "on the shoulder" type of forwards.

We dont play with those. Doesnt fit Nuno's system.

Wilson is a forward.

Wilson is a forward.

I know, isnt that the centre position of the front 3?

You say that, but he played in the system and scored against prem league oppo. Aa such id prefer to try him again than mess MGW around

England play all three group games in Kolkata. The first match is against Chile on Sunday, and a crowd of 50,000 is expected. This match is live on Eurosport 2, kick off 12.30.

There's a few in there with family names that would likely wind up Ulf with his repeated claims that fans need to strongly identify with their English roots. LOL

Wonder if Danny Batth has been lined up to commentate or do pre and post match analysis by Indian tv or say, Eurosport. Would make total sense.

This is a good point, and if it was outside the season I would have loved to see him involved. As it is, he would only really be able to do the first round of matches, and the tournament lasts until the end of the month. FIFA have posted this on twitter: https://twitter.com/FIFAcom/status/914843516223852544 It sounds as if it's going to be presented from India itself, rather than with the presentation being dubbed onto live video as with the African Cup of Nations. So everybody in English-speaking nations will get the same commentary and presentation, all organised by FIFA itself, if I am understading what she is saying. Eurosport is not mentioned anywhere, although they will be carrying it for us. The more I think about it though the more I think that I am probably misunderstanding.

This is interesting, although I'm not convinced that it isn't a spoof or bluff: to combat age-group cheating, all the players are having their wrists scanned for evidence that they have stopped growing: http://www.news18.com/news/sports/fifa-u-17-world-cup-age-cheats-under-scanner-1535583.html

Incidentally, it starts today and many games are on Eurosport or something similar. England play their first game Sunday.

These played in the European Championships over the summer? Lost on penalties after conceding a last minute goal in final? Hows it the World cup already?

Has to be a bluff surely, don't see how it will work in all cases.

I think the top few of the Euros qualify for the World Cup: it is used as the qualification tourney.

Suppose makes sense, as they only have 2 years max at that age group. Impressed by them over summer, am i right in think Morgan Gibbs-white was on fringes of first team before injury?

Yes; eight appearances for first team already. Pretty impressive for his age.

Apparently he's also a really nice lad.

The Chilean wing back sounds like someone we should be looking at.

Yes he does. Have to look out for him on Sunday when England play them.

 

[JOSWolf]

Kick off at 12.30. On Eurosport 2 for those interested. Gibbs White on bench.

 

[Netherton Wolf]

1-up HT

 

[sc91]

Sancho is a talent, hopefully this is a good experience for MGW.

 

[Skrilla]

Sancho and Foden look really special. Hudson-Odoi and Brewster ain't bad either... makes watching England enjoyable for a change!

 

[WasStefan]

On comes MGW

 

[cannockwolf]

MGW on

 

[Netherton Wolf]

On comes MGW

Come on son

 

[The Professional]

Good- he’s on. C’mon lid.

 

[WasStefan]

Chile keeper sent off. Last man. Shocking.

 

[WasStefan]

What a freekick that is

4-0

Was brilliant, am enjoying watching this

Brilliant play by MGW. Hits post

Very unlucky not to score there.
