4 years of failure though Roy. What progress?

I don't know. We have the same basic problem in tournament after tournament and, whilst I know what's at fault, I don't understand why it happens.

I just don't get it. We had a formation, we had a style of football, we had everything set in place to have a decent tournament. Why ditch all of that for out of form players, why ditch that for one player who's legs have all but gone ? It's just unbelievable how we do this in every single damn tournament, it's unbelievable that we never frigging learn.

 

People were calling it before the tournament started, i was one of them. We shoehorned Rooney in, nobody can deny it. He was bought in because he is Rooney, simple as that. Hodgson and the team ditched everything we had just to shoehorn that one player in. 

 

Absolutely pathetic and i am fed up with it.

What future can you see with this England side, even under a new manager? I can't ever see this team being either fast enough or clinical enough to be anything other than mediocre.

 

Maybe in the next 18 months we'll find a new midfielder who can move the ball fast and accurately or a playmaker who can dance around the players that mark them in a defensive setup.

At least we didn't buy him a couple of years ago

Look at those names who are favourite to take over.......all of them look exactly the same type of manager we usually go for.

 

We need change, we need a proper nutcase like Conte. Somebody who has everything.

Rashford stood out like a sore thumb for the right reasons, some odd choices by Roy, Noble ...etc.

Well, onwards.

This. Wilshere, Rooney, out of form and shoehorned in. Drinkwater watching the game sitting on his couch at home. Players out of position.

We will never learn and im just glad that dinosaur Hodgson resigned.

Bilic, knows what he's doing

"Fast" is av important point. For about 15 years we've been slow as **** in basic things like passing. It's the old "trap the ball, pause, look around, pass" which kills our attacks.

To be fair to woy .... He shouldn't have to coach players to control a ball, take a free kick or cross a ball .... That should be taken as read. Yet these players couldn't do any of those things.

I would have taken one for them, really ! I am not even joking

Bilic, knows what he's doing

 

It's just a shame West Ham have him, they'll never let him go and i don't think he would ever take the England job.

That is why i said someone like him. England need to ditch the yes men, ditch the safe option.

Hart, the worst keeper in English history to play so many games ?

 

If you have such a liability in goal, it breeds fear in your defence.

 

He should never be in the national team again.

Does make you wonder if so many of these players look better for their club because they're with people they can pass to who won't clam up when they have to beat 1-2 men in order to create a chance or are with players who can deliver balls to them quickly whilst they're still in space.

 

That said, when tactics are bad, players are scared and they have no ideas, that encourages hesitant play too and it's a sign of bad management

He wasn't even bad.

Agreed but, in UK, you get to top management by being risk averse - "a safe pair of hands". Venables was a risky appointment in FA terms and they wouldn't touch 'arry with a barge pole. Southgate is the FA type of manager.

When will TV companies realise that Ian Wright wearing WW2 enigma codebreaking glasses make him appear more intelligent than the thick c**t he really is.

The FA want someone who'll toe the line. Capello was sacked because he wouldn't go with the FA and drop Terry (England would then be knocked out because Uruguay didn't do the same and Suarez scored a vital goal).

 

Woy at one point basically picked any English player who'd put on a Liverpool shirt, regardless of form and that reeked of interference.

 

The FA won't hire someone who would be his own man.
