2023/24 Jarrad Branthwaite

[formerly manx toffee]

I'm not sure lad Southgate doesn't usually take a chance this soon to a tournament. I'd be more than happy if he didn't call him up.

Would love him to get called up, play, score winners, put strikers in his pocket and watch his value rocket

 

[Billy Dean]

He currently has Maquire, Donk, Colwill, Geuhi, Tomori, Konsa and Stones ahead of him, hes gonna need injuries to 3 or 4 of them to get in the squad IMO.

I don’t think Tomori, Konsa and Dunk are that fixed in the squad really. I reckon Branners could catch them up this season

Having recently been handed the England U21 captaincy in last month’s European Championships qualifying win over Northern Ireland, Branthwaite’s stock is surely high amongst the national team coaching staff at St George’s Park.

Current statistics suggest it wouldn’t be a complete shock should his form see his name be brought into the Euro 2024 conversation. Amongst English Premier League defenders, Brainthwaite sits joint top for the number of clearances made this season, and lies second for aerial duels, aerial duels won, and interceptions. The only fellow country man ahead of him on those lists, his team-mate James Tarkowski.

What’s the reason Tarly doesn’t get called up? I know there’s something like he’s committed international harikari

Keane and Godfrey did OK but I feel way less stressed when this lad is at the back for us

Didn't put a foot wrong today.

Thank you Marcel Brands

 

[AndyGray]

Majestic so far

 

[dublinbluenose]

I dont believe he is one person

 

[Bebeto]

He is unbelievably good this guy...cb playing left back....read the game better than any other player on the field, and he is a defender.

 

[Deulofeumygod]

Been unbelievable. Love to see his heat map. Fancy him to score tonight.

Given England's problems there, I'm surprised too. But even after just a few short months in the first team, you can see Branthwaite makes more sense at international level. He's a class act.

Thank you Marcel Brands

For selling Robinson….

 

[maccavennie]

Played well

 

[Rodebaard]

He did pretty well to fill-in, I thought. He was never going to be whipping crosses in like you might expect from a modern left back, but he's a great defender. Uses his body strength really well and deceptively quick. Shame he didn't score his header, but I think the defender probably just did enough to make him hesitate.
