We haven't even posted the team yet :effort:


If the BBC is to be believed that's a 4-3-3. I'd like it to be more of a 4-4-2 diamond and I think Chambers deserves the spot over Stones but hey no Gerrard or Lampard!

oh cool a team built entirely around shoehorning in as many attacking players as possible so you can drop sick bombs on estonia and paraguay and then get made to look ordinary by the first decent opposition you meet

if only more club teams tried this approach, i'm sure it'd work well

lol but imagine the outcry if hodgson actually picked a defensive midfielder or attempted constructive play

he's not even trying to score, someone go on the pitch with a shovel and put him out of his misery

11 men behind the ball, it's honestly hard as gently caress to play against teams like that especially when your team is poo poo and doesn't have a plan b

tbh I think england fans (i.e. idiots) turn on a garbage match where there's literally zero tension about the game and then blame the team for the fact that they're bored silly, as if brazil spain germany would make a match against san marino a great spectacle

Lallana, Chamberlain, Milner, broken Walcott, even Barkley would all be preferable options IMO.

But this is also just one of many, many England problems - the main one being the manager.

He is a terrible manager, easily the worst England have had since McClaren.

so, the worst out of two people, then

tbh he's an average manager of an average side, but I'm not sure what people would like him to be doing other than winning every game comfortably, or who exactly they'd like to bring in considering that England have gone for world-class managers twice and people still said they were poo poo and all the holes in the team didn't magically fill themselves

hint: the matches are boring because England have very little top-class talent, 90% of the opposition plays defensive football, and the actual quality level is below what you'd expect from the domestic game, so there's very little reason for either the fans or the players to really care about this poo poo
