Probably just resting moutinho....
He will go to the world cup......they dont need to look at him no more ....it's sensible to say have a rest......he will replace j mario in the 26 man squad or even Neto.....for the world cup.Or, the emergence of Vitinha might have displaced him.
Hope not, but if all those midfielders are fit and in form, I can see Joao missing out!
They often seem to play Moutinho in the position we play neves in, which I presume is where palinha plays too. Unless they decide to use 2 holding midfielders (which I don’t think they often do?) then it may be touch n go as to weather he makes the squad.He will go to the world cup......they dont need to look at him no more ....it's sensible to say have a rest......he will replace j mario in the 26 man squad or even Neto.....for the world cup.
V fair.For me, Neto pretty fortunate to be in, Semedo unfortunate to be out - he's better than Dalot.
Carvalho definitely.Looking at the midfielders in that squad, who should moutinho get in in place of? Carvalho? Vitinha?
Thinking Semedo could have said he needed the break to manage his fitness? Feel for any of our lads who miss out, but equally it probably helps us (unless the likes of Neto think they need a higher profile).I think there is some experimentation in that squad to see how a few fit in prior to the WC. I reckon Moutinho will be in the WC squad Santos likes Guedes too.
Neto probably gets in based on reputation and potential. Hope it gives him some confidence and he can build on that back at Wolves and earn himself a WC call up.
Semedo is a much better RB than Dalot clearly checking club badge in that decision.
Absolutely. Semedo injury was the reason for our collapse at the end of last year. Still has time to get in squad given 2/3 quality performances against top sides in next couple of weeks.... Neto fortunate. It appears Portugal are able to make the same mistakes as Southgate - pick some on reputation not form. (Maguire? Shaw? Rashford? to name but 3....)For me, Neto pretty fortunate to be in, Semedo unfortunate to be out - he's better than Dalot.
Shane that many of England's 12 are absolutely ****ing gash! The Waistcoat should have stuck to crap pizza ads....Not sure they have enough options in defence, they've only named 8 defenders, look at England for example they've gone for 12!! We have far more "clean sheet" options, good old Gareth
Picks 12 defenders and still Kilman can’t get in .Not sure they have enough options in defence, they've only named 8 defenders, look at England for example they've gone for 12!! We have far more "clean sheet" options, good old Gareth
