Dave making the point that maguire is slow and bad in 1v1 situations so he’s not picking him.. but then doesn’t pick Walker… who arguably relies on 1v1s 😅
Also acting like walker hasn’t thrived in a City team who play a Possession based game
@user-he2ou2ex2f walker is our best rb overall. James is injured. Trent can't defend at RB. You wouldnt put him against mbappe.
Luis Diaz entered the chat
@@ABESW0RLD hell no. walker wasnt good this year and even if the myth about trents defending was true i couldnt care less. he is like kdb but as a right back
@@ABESW0RLDstrange that you say Trent wouldn't defend against Mbappe when he's done it so many times even as a teenager.
Dave sums up modern online fans who spends too much time looking at stats and spreadsheets and not the eye test... Nieve's selections are soo much better.
Except not wanting Mainoo, thats a stinker.
I think he’s Dead right about Maguire so far though
Yeah, I’ve continued watching, this Dave guy’s lost the plot 🤣
I think we should back Dave more because he's smart and knows a lot more re about football than all of ye, and we don't know how good his team could be without trying it. Cut the guy some slack
She was right about centre back partnership. Best partnerships aren't about pace but about balance, and positioning.
Statman dave: "i want a youtful squad for the future" *Picks Trippier* Also statman dave: "Other teams have rapid players musiala and mbappe" *Proceeds to drop Walker* I cant even with this selection...
Youthful at CB.
@@StatmanDaveit’s not career mode mate. Kyle walker has proved he can handle vini jr and mbappe on the biggest stage. Trent and trippier would get humiliated by any half decent winger never mind them two
if he doesnt take walker he has to take AWB. The only 2 options you can trust 1v1. Everyone else is going to get smokes. He build a team like he think England will have 100% possession
@@StatmanDaveMate drop the act of delusion please
Am I the only person who thinks Maguire runs slower than a 2yr old with a Full Nappy.
Dave is playing fifa and Nieve is playing in the real world.
Statman dave was having a complete laugh. Like a 10 yo on fifa building an England team
Can't blame him for being true to his name but Alfie Doughty over Walker, Chilwell or Shaw was just insanity.
Quite an accurate way to put it. You cannot ignore what the basic fundamentals of a team requires. Forcing Jude to be box-to-box when he's been the best AM itw to fit in Foden (who could just be on LW instead). At least Nieve understands the concept of balance lol.
@@yk2412But before this season, Jude has been playing box to box when he was at BVB and Birmingham and there's more depth in the 10 position than in the box to box role
@@yk2412 Bad example though.. Jude isn't solely a no. 10 or false 9. He has played box to box a lot in his career
@yk2412 Bellingham had a career before him recently joining Real Madrid, at BVB Bellingham was a Box to Box midfielder, so too say that the midfield of Rice, Bellingham a S Foden is unbalanced, is Honestly pure horseshit.
statmandave ❌ madmandave ✅ what is this squad selection
This is why we love statman dave. Better gaffer than Southgate.
😂😂
Also his center back were nonsensical picks. Sure all talanted players but you can not have that inexpirience at the back if you want to win it. At a euro you don‘t build a squad for the future, you go in to win it.
Except Maguire can’t win anything.
@@BrakeMagazine you‘re two years too late for that maguire bashing. Surely he is not the most talented player ever but he puts in a real effort whenever he plays and this season he actually stepped up whenever he was needed.
everyone talking about the blunder dave had but nieve’s ball knowledge is brilliant.
She's worse!! Talks like she has brain damage and contradicts herself on most statements she makes
@@CassidyJones-un3rm ok brah
@@CassidyJones-un3rmyou have no ball knowledge
Nieve has serious ball knowledge. Gallagher will do all the work x10 better than any of the others. Allows Bellingham to play high rice to control and also attack. Rice has been on set pieces his game has evolved to a more creative player. Gallagher allows both to do this
i think we can rethink this Gallagher nonsense now. I dont want to be harsh but what does he do outside of cardio on the pitch. Him and Chillwell. Bin them both. I want more control in the midfield personally, I'd start mainoo in there.
@Adam-xe5xm yet u want to add mainoo who has no experience and no previous matches with England. People need to realise this is mainoos breakeout season. You don't want to pile that pressure on him. Gallagher yes may not be the most technical player but he gets the job done. If u got rice's ball control and passing and judes goal threat u want an engine and a player who can make tackles when needed. Gallagher fits that role
@@daboss191 did you not watch the games. He's a passenger and his lack of involvement in possession is negatively impacting the whole team. Mainoo is young but if he can handle the pressure at United he can for England as well
Gallagher so mid but not really any better options
Jones will go
That Dave guy can’t be on the show again after this surely 😭😂
Lack of football knowledge is crazy
you’re just too slow to see what he’s saying
Neither of them can. F'ing idiots
@@deanoss777 No, you're just as slow as Dave clearly
Nieve had the most sense here! Legend
Definitely not after the rashy comment
She usually does in fairness, best guest on the show if you're looking for actual knowledge and reasonable takes
@@stevenb3854 definitely not after saying gordan is better than rashford
@@TomTom-kl3hprashford is overrated and didnt deserved to be in england squad
@@TomTom-kl3hp Gordon has had a better season
Nieve knows more about football than any guest I've seen on here.
No chance England need more creativity for the potential and players they have Dave is on point
@dazwebster stay of the spice 🤣 not even close. Contradicts her own opinions throughout... Seen people with autism with more knowledge
@@CassidyJones-un3rm ok brah
@@CassidyJones-un3rm Well I have autism and I have better ball knowledge than you so 🤫

POV: Gary Neville explaining his tactics at Valencia
I won't be wasting my time watching StatmanDave.
I like him
Fair enough
@@whatsthestoryhere go get tests on everything bro
Me too
Told to pick your own team and then argue against a group of people picking a Southgate 11 lol
Don't think even Southgate would make worse picks than what Dave did 💀💀💀
😂😂😂
Nieve is so on point. Such good ball knowledge. Statman Dave is following in Rory's footsteps. Presenting crazy ideas for the sake of attention grabbing and then argueing for it as if it would be the most clearcut thing in the world.
Dave is just trolling here, acting like he's playing FIFA. Nieve was spot on!
Fair play to Neve for not losing her head
glad this bloke isn't the england manager
the actual england manager isnt much better tbf
@@FrozenSavage I'm sure you think you could do better
@@sdm_za he probably could tbf
Got a out as much idea as Southgate 😂😂
He’s talking sense. Gotta play with the players who can break down defenses rather than Southgate’s gud ol’ Kane/Saka/Bellingham and inshallah with no gameplan.
Statman Dave in this video is the prime example of someone relying way too much on random stats
thank god they had Nieve on here with Dave, could you imagine if it was like Dave and Theo doing this
Nieve outclassed Statman here, he has very questionable takes
Hard disagree, his squad would win the euros.
@@PvtVallenlol
she did??? Curtis Jones over Mainoo? Do me a favor 🤣
@@ericbumbera664 statman talking about toney when there’s 3 9s there already lol she’s on earth at least while he’s in fairy land
@@ericbumbera664 tbf its an understandable take, since curtis jones has a lot more professional football experience compared to mainoo who's only just stepped into mens football
As usual, Nieve nailed it. Dave’s trying to do too much
Dave really wanted us to go into a major tournament playing the same midfield 3 with no coverage other than "Well Trent can play there,".
Yeah lmao he'd ask Trent to cover the CBs and also go forward then wonder why Mbappe has scored 3
Thank you Nieve for being actually sensible, Dave, sort out your ball knowledge
ramsdale over pickford? never let him back on the show
Shocking. No justification for ramsdale to be there. Agree with the Butland shout out to be in the 3.
Are you forgetting that he wouldn’t have even taken Kyle walker! Someone’s it’s the debate list for current best fullback in the world.
Nieve is actually bang on here. Too many fans want us to start Bellingham and Foden or Maddison in a midfield 3. Bellingham has been the best 10 in the world this season, so it makes more sense to play Rice and a balanced 8 behind him like Jones or Gallagher. I think it's a tournament too soon for Mainoo
Personally, MAINOO goes for me.
For the experience
It 100% wouldn't work having a Rice Jude + Madders/Foden combo. Rice can't do it on his own, I'd like to see how Mainoo gets on tonight but he could be a perfect balance and B2B player.
Anyone who thinks it’s too soon for Mainoo hasn’t wanted United enough this season. I side more with Dave on this. Should be Mainoo, Rice and Jude in the mid with foden on the left, Saka right and Kane up top. Might as well say I’d have Walker, Stones, Gomez and Shaw at the back.
Bellingham Rice Trent. I don’t think people realise how essential Trent is, he’s a creativity monster.
"we need fast mobile players to deal with the big teams" *Kyle Walker* The notoriously slow immobile RB....
I can remember tony Kroos totally outpacing him for that goal Ohh wait he didn’t
Statman Dave and Nieve on the same show is just must see. Nieve is just pure gold in everything she does and Statman is brilliant more of these 2 please :) however I think this needs to be redone with a nieve vs statman dave where they both build squads and then viewers vote on the best team
No walker is crazy!!!!!
Walker is England best defender, still very quick and strong quicker than most attackers still at his age, can only get beat by pace by the fastest players but he still keeps up with the fastest players
No chance. We have 3 better right backs (although one is injury prone) so we don’t need walker. The only thing he offers is pace, why dont we just take an English Olympic sprinter then?
absolutely horrendous take, Walker starts for England.@@dpot2231
@@dpot2231 3 better right backs at attacking? Yeah. At defending? No chance. Walker is the best defender amongst all of them. Reece is crooked, Ben white is unavailable, Trent is out of the picture. Walker is the best option.
@@just-some-dude-on-the-internet idk where this narrative came from? Walker can’t really defend either, it’s just if he makes a mistake he has the pace to recover. It’s such an uninspiring pick when you can have the best rb in the world playing there, but instead you’ve got a league 2 quality player with pace
Im glad nieve was there
I wasn’t she’s awful
@@TomTom-kl3hpdidn’t know Dave was a female
@@TomTom-kl3hptbh Dave has had a disasterclass lol, she was much better than him
@@jackreynolds975she was much better, but she had awful shouts as well, Gordon? And Jones and Gallagher over Mainoo
@@jackreynolds975 Yeah it was horrendous and totally agree should be Rice and Mainoo with Bellingham pushing up
"Im trying to build a youthful squad" "Kieran trippier is 32 isnt he" 😂😂😂
Connor Gallagher is a great shout tbh. She made so much sense with her take. In the latter stages of the tournament, England is going to face the best teams and it makes sense to be a little conservative. Foden can come on when you’re down by a goal or if you want to go all out attack in the second half
Statman Dave is picking his team like the Euros are gonna be played in sim mode.
Him and Paul Merson must be related. 😂
Bro just waffling 😂
Dave wants us to kick serious ball. I get it, so do I but it’s still a tournie bro. Gotta calm down a lil 😭😂
Just want to see goals.
@@StatmanDave I’m with you mate. Need that Rice single pivot.
@@StatmanDave You'll see plenty of goals in your own net with that squad
I honestly think Ross Barkley is worth a shout because of his fit as a roll player in the squad. Weird how so many experts fail to recognize Tomori also.
Pure presentation that knowing stats doesn’t mean you have good ball knowledge
And then he backed his Rashford shout with zero stats 😂
The Kyle walker snub by dave is shocking, opinion disregarded immediately after that.
Should have be turned off after ramsdale over Pickford.
Walker is literally the most experienced and qualified player he's won almost everything there is to win at club level plus is experienced with England for over 10 years.
Everyone who Knows Dave needs to do themselves a favour and never speak to him again. The worst take I’ve ever heard on an England squad.
Gallagher is so underrated its criminal, this lass is spot on about him. Can’t believe statman isn’t listening
StatmanDave's team would be grouped at the Euros 😂
Nieve is spot on picking Butland, only one with sense on this show 👏
Who ever that guy is, don’t let him pick a squad ever again. His team would go out in the group stage
that lady had more ball knowledge then statmandave lol.
As soon as this guy said he would start ramsdale 1:28 I knew it was gonna be a long video
Alfie Doughty over Walker and Shaw 😂😂😂
Shaw is literally still injured but yeah doughty over walker is wild. Despite doughty being a very good player
Don’t ever let this guy back on the show. Data has fried his mind.
Surprised Loftus Cheek isn’t even considered for the midfield. He’s been doin’ his stuff for ac Milan
So poor guy got whatever he wanted. The girl was more sensible and had justifications for her picks. I would have the squad from the girl. Good balanced squad
I understand introducing youth into the squad but NoBallKnowledgeDave is literally saying that the best way forward for the Euros is reshuffling the pack and having a bunch of rookies there, never let him on the show again pls Buvey was right he has no ball knowledge
Rashford over Gallagher is wild. Nieve good ball knowledge. The bloke hasn’t got a clue
Mate? You act like Gallagher is putting up world class performances. He has been good, Rashy has been OK. But a guy who has been playing for England for so long and was their top scorer in the world cup is mad to put on there?
@@jga7887Gallagher is an absolute dog though, would be a great player to really put pressure on teams late in games. Rashford on the other hand tends to just coast about and lacks the tenacity to fight for the ball.
@@jga7887that’s the point nieve was making. Yes Gallagher isn’t world class or fancy, but he’s exactly the balance needed for a rice and Bellingham midfield to let them do their bits.
Rashford over Gallagher any day of the week! Rashford has torn it up away to PSG, Man City, Arsenal, Chelsea, Barcelona in big big domestic and European games, not to mention his outstanding campaign last season, and his return to form in a United shirt of late. If you going for workrate over quality, then it already concedes that Rashford is the better baller!
@@edwardpalmer6409 Then niece says put Gordon over Rashy because he's having a better season? You can't say one player (Mainoo) is too young and to play Gallagher. And say Gordon(first ever call up recently) to start over Rashford who still gives attacking options and has more experience playing with Saka, Foden, Kane, Bellingham
Since I'm French I'm going to agree with Dave in not bringing Kyle Walker 😅😅😅😅
Kylian Mbappé versus Alexander-Arnold or Trippier 😭
Lotta people ragging on Dave but he was trying to build a cohesive squad to do something different based on modern football principles. Nieves squad was more grounded in reality though for sure given how things have gone under southgate
Exactly ppl hate change so much
@@isaiahh4108 TBF the format didn't help they should've given them both their own squads and a tactics board to explain their thinking and got the presenters to decide who they liked more
Yep, agree with Nieve. Everyone else is picking their favourite players, she’s looking at the balance of the team
her shout for Gallagher, a middle of the road player over Maino, but he is to young to fill in that role if something happens too Rice, yet we all know Southgate is picking 2 more defensive midfielders, so I rather see Rice and Maino than Rice and Gallagher, These other young lads will have there chance in a couple of years, form isn't everything especially for number 16-23.
Jones can sit as a 6
Agree Nieve was spot on with most of her picks , but not sure she was totally guilt free when it came to picking a personal favourite... Gallagher is a Good looking boy ,,,, just saying
dont understand how people miss how insane it is to have a fulll back who litterly cant lose a single 1v1. Walker is my starter 10/10 times. Coming from a United fan.
What did United fans do to you? Also wildly saying you are coming for them is odd
What are you on about can never lose a 1v1😭😭. Have you actually watched walker this season? He gets skinned constantly
@@indianbossman606 As opposed to who? Trippier has been horrendous. Trent? LOL.
Diaz had walker on toast
Diaz cough cough
Nieve back again with some quality ball knowledge
Dave is going so bold and neive is going pragmatic
Dave was outclassed here
And he just talks so much nonsense
She has 1000x better ball knowledge
Not for gorden over rashford
When she said Conor Gallagher I started to laugh she isn’t serious
Nieve with more ball knowledge than any of the guys. Statman Dave 😭😂
Idk who this girl is but her thoughts are so well crafted! She has 4, 5, even 6 different reasons as to why she made a decision and they all make sense. Even if you don’t agree, you can’t help but say “damn, that’s a good point” and reevaluate your previous stance.
Nieve is clear of all these guys in ball knowledge
I’m 2 minutes in and I’m already hearing stuff like ramsdale over Pickford 🤦♂️
It’s crazy innit
Rashford being compared go mbappe is another one
Dave choosing all those young CBs raised me some questions but as soon as he left out walker I knew he was done for 😂😂
Nieve always talking sense. Dave doesn’t believe the shite he was spouting
Foden obviously has to start, but the option of having Gordon and Saka on either wing sounds like an absolute nightmare to play against, non stop pressing machines unlike Rashford who casually strolls around the pitch.
He cant start. I think hes a passenger on the LW outside of Peps system and I'm not having him in a midfield with Rice and Jude, it puts too much defensive pressure on both of them. I like the Rashford/Gordon left side as an outlet. Unlike Saka who likes it to feet they both run in behind.
Nieve is a modern football legend.
'As it stands Antony Gordon offers more than Rashford' Dave: "Can't agree with that, 30+ goals/assists LAST SEASON for Man United'. DUDE, as things stand, not based on the past. It's based on their current form. Niev is 100% right there. As of now, Gordon offers more and is in better form this season.
Statmandave just made me appreciate Southgate more. What was going on here 😂😂😂😂
never in my life thought stunt pegg would show more knowledge and sense than statmandave
The lady knows a lot more that the bolshy bloke
Just shows how crazy hard this must be for southgate😂😂😂
Nieve for England manager , ball knowledge and tacticsl considerations were on point 👌
My man wouldn’t take Kyle Walker 🤣
That guy who wouldn’t pick walker is insane. Mbappé would be guaranteed to score lmao
Nieve is one of the smartest to come on this show and spot on with her analysis every time.
Nieve's footie content is class and has insane ball knowledge
This just made me realise how many quality players are going to be left behind
Dave has had an absolute nightmare
I'm sorry but that England midfield is looking tasty, either Bellingham, Rice and Mainoo for a bit more safety to let the fullbacks push up or Bellingham, Rice and Maddison for a bit more control and penetration. We can't lose even if we try so I don't doubt Southgate will pull out some miracle of finding a way to lose...
Feel Curtis Jones would be that third midfielder for sure. So press resistant and underrated. Only reason he wasn’t called up this time was injury
This girl is the most W ball knowledge person I've seen this year, good job!
that was a painful watch.
Gallagher and Curtis jones over kobbie mainoo is absolutely insane. Midfield going into the euros has to be rice, mainoo and Bellingham
Nieve made loads of sense. We can’t play like Man City because we don’t have their defence and need a midfielder to balance out the midfield instead of pushing Bellingham too deep. Dave needs to watch players he is dismissive of with an open mind like Walker and Gallagher.
Nieve bossing it as always. I don’t want rashford going to the euros tryna dribble past a defender and losing the ball every possession he’s gets. Coming from a United fan
Joe Gomez is criminally underrated, he can play and cover anywhere across the back 4. England bring him and they’ll win the euros 🤷🏼♂️
@@lukeyduke8877 why? He offers so many different options, can sit and play in a 3. Play as an attacking or defensive full back. He’s a top quality centre half. And even this season we’ve seen that IF NEEDED….he can hold in the 6 🤷🏼♂️
People call anyone underrated these days
Win the euros because of a utility player? He wouldn’t even get any playing time
Garnacho and Rashford had him on toast last Sunday.
Hes not underrated, the competition is just high.
Every once in a while I’ll give in and listen to a video like this, it’s normally a while till the next one 😂
Pickford, Ramsdale, Pope Stones, Colwil, Brantwaite, Konsa Walker, Trent, Doughty, Trippier Rice, Bellingham, Mainoo Saka, Foden, Palmer, Madison, Rashford Kane, Watkins,Gordon, Bowen
Nieve 100% ✅ Statman Dave ❌
Pickford/ Johnstone Shaw/ Trippier Maguire/ Branthwaite Stones/ Tomori Walker/ AWB Rice/ A.Gray Mainoo/ Gallagher/Trent Bellingham/ Foden/ Maddison Rashford/ Gordan Kane/ Watkins/ Toney Saka/ Palmer Wild cards: James, White, A.Gomes, Grealish, Doughty, Chillwell, Eze, Bowen, R.Lewis, Konsa, Ramsdale If James is fit, swap him and AWB. I made a 25-man squad. It's just hard to drop 2 players. Maybe Toney and gordan drop out for me.
Jones, Gomez and Colwill are wild cards, too. The england team is stacked
Can I just make the point here that if Nieve (or any woman who dares speak about football) had put Trippier and Doughty in her squad instead of Walker and Shaw she'd be getting dog's abuse in this comment section and people would be saying thats why women should stay out of football. Weird how no one here is saying men should stay out of football because of what Dave says here
Statman dave is a prime example of why you can't just look at stats and spreadsheets instead of actually watching football
Nieve serious ball knowledge!
Alfie Dougherty from Luton is a good outsider shout he done brilliant for Luton
Yeah, given Shaw and Chilwell's injury records Doughty was a rare good shout from Dave
13:49 Brilliant shout. I've been thinking jones would be brilliant at balancing that midfield for a while now
This Statman Dave guy is having an absolute mare. Spreadsheet FC. His squad would have us going out in the group stage. Thankfully Nieve actually knows what she's talking about.
Man said he would start ramsdale based on his ability on the ball.. he's a flipping GK 🤦🏿
Imagine choosing Ramsdale as the goal keeper 😂
Yep, I would go with Sem Johnstone to be fair, he wont pee his pants on seeing Mbappe
"Trent go as a defender or midfielder here?" Dave: "put him as striker, number 10"
Nieve knows ball.
