WarrenBartonCentrePartin Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 How many of the teams at the Euro's contain world class players? Besides, that's a not a sensible way of measuring the ability of a team, see City, Leicester. Portugal. France. Wales. Spain. Germany. Poland. Switzerland. Belgium. Italy (surely a defender?). Croatia. Fair point about being a team but we haven't shown that team ability in yonks either. Wales. So you're saying Gareth Bale is "world class", yet no-one in the England team is near his level? You're also using this point to make out they're somehow better than England. They've named two strikers from fucking Walsall in their provisional squad, man.

Deuce Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 England... major nation..... ok. Not a world class player in the team. Barely any of the players have top level CL experience. Over the last 3 tournaments, done no better than Greece. What's your f***ing point you creep? Watch your fucking mouth. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not saying Wales are better than England. I'm saying there's nothing to suggest England are a major European nation. Not past performances, nor star power.

Kaizero Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 England has been fairly shit for a while tbf. But you've also not had a good manager in fucking ages so I don't really think the players are the main issue. At least not this time around. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffon the only name that sticks out in their Euro squad, but I dunno if he's still on that level. edit: was looking at their squad from the March friendlies Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

ilikenewcastle Posted May 22, 2016 Share Posted May 22, 2016 England has been fairly s*** for a while tbf. But you've also not had a good manager in f***ing ages so I don't really think the players are the main issue. At least not this time around. I don't really see any evidence to suggest Hodgson is holding back this group of players. We should make the quarter finals with ease, before our defence costs us. Anything less would be a failure on Roy's part. TCD, I'm still interested in knowing who Switzerland have who is better than every single English player Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really see any evidence to suggest Hodgson is holding back this group of players. By being a careful defensive minded manager he will hold you back. You, for once, have quite the creative group of players. Hodgson is not the right manager to get them to play at peak ability. Hodgson would've fit the mid-00s team quite well I think, late 00s as well even. The fact he will most likely start Rooney is pretty much evidence of the main issue regarding Hodgson. You guys need a creative minded manager that puts together a team, not just individuals. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
