Inspector Lestrade Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Good luck Southgate no pressure (yeah right). Hope he can keep the team progressing and maybe let them off the leash a little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buxtongent Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Don't everyone follow the example of the Commentators and Pundits on TV and consider that we are one of the top international sides. Look at the results! The thing that sent everybody wild was Harry Kane winning the Golden Boot - the majority of his goals being Penalties. We reached the quarter finals not the final. Yes. England are a team in progress, but no more than that. And don't take this as a criticism of the manager and the players. It's the ex-pro's who make us to be something we are not. men who should know otherwise. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lord Snooty Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 To an extent I'm not that fussed whether we look like winning a tournament - though obviously that would be nice. I'm just pleased that were playing some decent stuff and that I enjoy watching them again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This entirely. I think the manager did a pretty sensational job, the most important part of that being the recognition that a lot of us had simply lost our connection to the national team. If they wanted our attention again they’d need to earn it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my opinion they should only play qualifiers and tournament football , the rest are about players getting match practice and team shape , nothing rlse.

Luke Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 good achievement getting to the semis but when it got to playing decent teams England just folded ,losing to Croatia and Belgium twice to be a real force internationally they need to beating Spain ,France and Belgium regularly.

@owlstalk Posted September 7, 2018 Author Share Posted September 7, 2018 Bit odd how many people are itching to have a pop at the England team despite these young lads making us so proud just a couple of months ago What's up with everyone these days? Is it the recession that's drove everyone mentalist? Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 Haven't Sky bought exclusive rights to this competition? I'd be up for it if games were live on terrestrial tv Bit like European nights, I used to look forward to those Lost all interest once BT cornered the market, don't even bother watching the highlights 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just when the season gets going , it's bloody international break time , annoys me and that's why we end up having loads of games jammed into a short space of time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

camffiti Posted September 7, 2018 Share Posted September 7, 2018 The mission for Southgate in the next two years ... Sort out the gap between Henderson & Kane Alli & Sterling, for whatever reason (probably lack of bottle), disappear in an England shirt. Lingard turns up occasionally Maybe Maddison & Sessegnon can eventually fill those gaps Looking at our false strikers, its a shame Vardy retired ... Can't blame him really, as he was criminally underused at the WC 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And their coverage of the FA Cup prelims includes Maltby v Frickley live on Sat'dy 12.30 ko Watched the previous round on my laptop - Prestwich v Radcliffe Hardly a thriller but marginally more exciting than last year's final Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
