He picks a conservative XI and sends them out and asks them to win. I’m sure that’s his only tactical plan.

Like all 3 times England lost in the big championships it was in games which we could have easily won, but he had no idea what to do or how to change things up.

It’s basically we need a goal so I’ll take Kalvin Phillips off for Marcus Rashford and see what happens.

International football is shit and basically a bit of a lottery, but at least give yourself the best possible chance.

Guy will fail with England again, possibly get a half decent job in the Prem (please not United), and within a year make Graham Potter’s spell at Chelsea look like a treble winning team.


Who do you think is overrated at England? Rashford obviously. Can see arguments for Saka and Foden too.

I think its a totally solid pool, like an 8.5/10 that gets talked up like 98 france.

Winning teams play well together and none of these lot do. I’ve sounded like a hipster saying that I think Trippier has been England’s best player of the past 5 or years, but he’s the only one that plays with the INTENSITY you need as a “Bully Squad”. These lot play like it’s an FA Cup tie every time.

The squad itself is spoken of as this elite wrecking machine and like they have an expectation to win. Truth is, if they played like the underdog every time and with a sense of urgency that can maximize the potential and strengths of each player

Honestly, think you can say the same about every international team.

France and Argentina were no great shakes at the last WC, imo.

All these international tournaments come down to who gets a good draw, who gets lucky at the right time and who wins their penalty shootouts.

They always look better on paper than they are in reality.



GK and defense (especially in depth) looks like a glaring weakness for England, as well as the damp cloth manager. Certainly don’t see it as an elite squad. Not being funny, but if Maguire is your starting CB, you have at least one weakness.

Congrats on the marriage bud, much love and best of luck :)

England has GOAT Bellingham so they are higher than 8.5 ;)

Seriously I got him so wrong because BVB was bad. Thought he was easily a 10-12 year starter for any top team at CM, but I haven't seen that kind of upside probably because he had to do everything at midfield in the BVB years.
 
Was just bidding on a crispy Arsenal shirt that i had when I was a kid but in adult size.. Got outbid in the last 5 seconds by a quid.

Pain!

@Arqueto maybe hire entire Benfica medical team while hiring Braz

[The Times] Newcastle United have identified Benfica’s Rui Pedro Braz as a candidate to replace Dan Ashworth as the club’s sporting director​

We definitely need a new medical team. Harold Shipman would do a better job than what ours has :rolleyes:

Lot of people saying that Benfica bloke has already interviewed for the position and that he could be announced soon.
