March 20, 20188 yr only just seen the squad, abysmal we're 18/1 to win the wolrd cup, stick a zero on the end, and I still wouldn't back us with counterfeit http://www.thefa.com/news/2018/mar/15/england-squad-named-for-netherlands-and-italy-150318 is this the worst squad we've had in the last 20 years or so? how far do we get in the world cup? i know we have Kane to come in, and there will be 1 or 2 changes, but it wont be loads different
March 20, 20188 yr Graham Taylor's squad of the early/mid 90's was rubbish but this is every bit as bad. If the Russians expel us before the tournament starts we won't fare much worse than if we do turn up. Out of the group stage
March 20, 20188 yr First 11 looks OK pefhaps lacking a top CB to play alongside Stones. Butland Walker, stones, maguire, Rose Dier Ox, Alli, sterling Kane, Vardy
March 20, 20188 yr Can't decide which way this is going to go. There's going to be a great deal of tension off the field given recent events, whether the team can get together and adopt a "let's shove it up the Russians " attitude I'm not sure.
March 20, 20188 yr At the first sign of pressure they will fold like they did against Iceland, the spineless cunts. Edited March 20, 20188 yr by Whites man
March 20, 20188 yr Excellent attackers, excellent full backs but average defence and centrai midfield, not even close to some of the top nations squad players. First 2 games is all about scoring a lot of goals, Belgium match might be used for rest/rotation dependant on other results and what route looks 'best' Edited March 20, 20188 yr by Didledee
March 20, 20188 yr Author First 11 looks OK pefhaps lacking a top CB to play alongside Stones. Butland Walker, stones, maguire, Rose Dier Ox, Alli, sterling Kane, Vardy can't start both vardy and kane imo vardy will end up wide left and be shite
March 20, 20188 yr can't start both vardy and kane imo vardy will end up wide left and be shite Rashford will It'll be Rashford, Kane, Sterling. Alli Edited March 20, 20188 yr by Didledee
March 20, 20188 yr What's happened with Cahill these days? - is he injured, or just a bit shit now? Bit of both from what I can tell
March 20, 20188 yr This year might be the first time I just won't bother watching. England used to fail at the first sight of decent opponents. We don't even wait for them anymore. I predict a re run of 2010 or 2014. Just scrape through the group or not even manage that
March 20, 20188 yr I reckon we will get through the group and like whites man says probably fold at the first proper test. Although as has been discussed before, a team with a player like Kane in it when bang in form and fit can go far with a bit belief and game plan from the manager. There's big problem with that though
March 20, 20188 yr Maybe with no expectation they will rise to he occasion? The golden generation et al hardly covered themselves with glory
March 20, 20188 yr Maybe with no expectation they will rise to he occasion? The golden generation et al hardly covered themselves with glory A shit squad and a shit manager I am thinking the best bet could be to back against us getting out of the group.
March 20, 20188 yr Been a joke since 1966. More recently one can blame Sky. Before that, who knows? Wankers to a man.
March 20, 20188 yr Shit and getting shitter. Couldn't even tell you who's in our group, or who we're playing this week.
March 20, 20188 yr Been a joke since 1966. More recently one can blame Sky. Before that, who knows? Wankers to a man. Crazy when you think how our teams dominated Europe throughout the 70's and 80's.
March 20, 20188 yr I don't tend to follow our national team much these days, just can't be arsed with it, but looking at that squad, I really didn't realise how badly we've fallen.
March 20, 20188 yr Crazy when you think how our teams dominated Europe throughout the 70's and 80's. Yes, but all them foreigners keep coming and taking our lads jobs. (copy & paste onto 6 other threads)
March 20, 20188 yr Lowest expectations ever for me which is saying something as I’ve gone into the last few tournaments considering getting out of the group to be success. This time Im just looking forward to watching the games. Some great kits this time round too We’re going to have another fortnight of supposed soul searching and calls for root and branch reform of our game (say we should be doing it just like whoever won) then it’ll be forgotten by the time Arsenal draw Clachnacuddin in 7th qualifying round for Uefa Cup.
March 20, 20188 yr Crazy when you think how our teams dominated Europe throughout the 70's and 80's. Liverpool were the team tbf Greenwood picked about 7 or 8 of em together for the national team No trees pulled up
March 20, 20188 yr Were there that many English players at Liverpool? The 80s more my time and there weren't many then. 70s had Neal Kennedy Clemence Hughes McDermott?
