Promising? Not? Why?

It is all down to how we select the youngsters. There is a reason why their are only 4 professional British Asian players (4-4-2 magazine). Physique. Far, Far, Far too much emphasis on this aspect of our youngsters. Good athletes, but light years behind other nations in technique and many other skills such as holding possession. Other factors include: -11 a side far too early (Italy don't start this until age 15/16) -Emphasis on bigger games means only the athletic kids truly stand out -To competitive as in not every kid gets a look in -Emphasis on physical attributes resulting in technically deficient players - The style of play is long ball direct fast There are many other factors, on here I have made several posts. I would dig around but cba There are many solutions including - Better acadamy structures more like the setups in Holland, where schooling, nutrition and training all go together. - More oppertunties, less focus on winning more emphasis on having fun - Smaller, more technical training. 5 a side, small games where space is tight etc , training both feet from an early age

C'mon Romania.

Disappointed. Deserved wholly though. Ginner got everything he deserved tonight and throughout this campaign.

Deserved. And for the future we are fucked.

Backwards step?

Well at least the frail old lady isn't playing.

FUCK OFF YOU FRAIL BASTARD

You are all so harsh. I like Harry.

Wow. I knew this was coming. I was fully behind big sam but I am seriously starting to doubt his abilities

Absolute wank. What a fucking joke of a formation.

Wank.

I'm working so I won't find out till I get home. Don't think I could bear watching it though.

Err.. Wow. Fuck me. Nice way to insult half of europe fuckwits. Bet Mags Serbia will love this thread

Luke Youngs goal was mental.

I like habib!

That was always the case. Exactly. Anyone expecting higher that 8th is deluded. The club is Fucked. Killed by bad management. Its going to take more than a season to fix it.

The faster we replace him with a big strong striker the better. He stops us playing 4-3-3 and can't pay his game here.

Thats a spirit we lack (if not the best english). Our team has no bollocks. Half of them are f****** s*** and don't care. Owen was talking to James at H.T. fucks sake man. Talk after the game.
