Guest neesy111 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Ben Arfa can't get a game for us FFS. That France team is nowt to fear in any case. The England team is nowt to fear against. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
skryp2nit3 Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Random thought - Arsene Wenger for England. Seems a good fit. Reckon he'd do a good job, hopefully changing England's playing philosophy entirely from youth levels onwards. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 JAMIE REDKNAPP – not Harry – is likely to decide who the next England manager will be. The Spurs boss (left), odds-on favourite to succeed Fabio Capello, last night insisted the FA still haven’t spoken to him about the job – but revealed his son Jamie will probably have the last word if they do. He said: “I speak to Jamie more than anybody. I’d speak to him about it for sure – he’s one I’d stand on more than anyone.” Jamie, who is now a successful television pundit with Sky TV, is very close to his father and was constantly by his side during his recent tax case trial. Redknapp Snr (left) has other things on his mind today though – trying to avoid becoming an FA Cup giant-killing victim at Stevenage. He said: “I’d love to win the FA Cup and, until somebody says ‘do you want the England job’, I’ve just got to keep Spurs playing well. “They (the FA) may be thinking on completely different lines to what lots of other people are thinking. They may want somebody else,” he said. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Hart Richards Lescott Cahill Baines Jones Wilshere Gerrard Sturridge Oxlaide Chaimberlin Rooney imo (terribly unsure over backline but not convinced by Jones as a CB at all, but think ok as an anchorman. Gerrard I'd rather not but it's him or cleverly who has the opposite problem. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agree, but if we got someone in who had the balls to fight city hall. To shake things up, bowlingcrofty. Stir up some controversy, rattle a few cages. Drop the fat old racist cunts and bring in some youth. It would certainly revitalize my interest in the national team. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiresias Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Whoever takes the England job is on to a hiding Imo. The squad just simply isn't good enough to win an international tournament. Spot on sadly. I'd much rather a good manager took the reins, kicked out all the overpaid premier league underachievers, and pick essentially a U21 side, then essentially keep that steady as the squad largely so they can actually build some squad unity and ethos, and say essentially they won't win anything for a while but maybe in 5 years time they'll be a very solid good unit. It is astonishing imo how quickly repeated shite performances are forgotten by the media who go quickly back to demanding certain players are played despite how crap they are every time. Rooney I think probably should be cut, he's been shit for england for a while, but who else? Danny Graham sounds quite attractive to me atm. Guthrie should be on the cards but will never get enough game time to get called up. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

David28 Posted February 19, 2012 Share Posted February 19, 2012 Remember the days when the German team was in a mess like that - 2 years before the World Cup in the own country. They took the risk and gave it to Klinsmann, who brought in a certan Jogi Löw as his assistant. Today, many people say Löw was the genius behind all, with Klinsmann just the one to get through his own ideas and to get it done his way. He (Klinsmann) certainly had bulit the foundation of what we see today - a well playing, young and successfull German team. Without Klinsmann, someone else would have come in as head coach and would have continued without making many changes. Players like Ballack and Frings would still be the leaders of the team today. Wonder if something like that would be possible in England, too? We all know how poor Shearer was as a manger for us but, with the right assistant manager, he could probably do some of the same....

Anderson Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 After seeing him with the England kit, I wonder what the chances are of Joey getting a second cap. The next squad is apparently going to be 'experimental'. What's his and Pearce's relationship like from his City days? Obviously if he was called up, it would be undeserved, especially when you consider his performances compared to last season, but I reckon he might have an outside chance.

I dont think its quite as simple as that because i think after the 1-5 loss against england they changed the whole youth training in germany so it wasnt solely a new manager and picking a younger team they had to make the younger guys "better" first Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're not as good as Spain or Germany, but far worse players have won tournaments before. The way England is talked about sometimes you'd think they were South Korea or something. In terms of individual talent England would no doubt be one of the top 10 teams in the World. It's just a matter of how that talent is being utilized.

Guest gggg Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Greece were willing to play a very disciplined style and work for each other as a TEAM to make up for their lack of ability, they respected the manager and did exactly as he asked, they didn't believe they were the best in the world so didn't play as individuals. This is precisely why England won't win anything. Far too many egos to play like Greece and if they didn't respect someone with Capello's record they won't respect anybody.

I think sheer luck would be the only conceivable way for England to win a tournament. I think we probably have a hand full of world class players, but the issue is that they don't seem to work as a team and haven't done for years. Because of this, I don't think we can mix it with the big boys at all. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
