yeadonowl Posted September 8, 2018 Share Posted September 8, 2018 Just said in ESPN commentary that our only attacking option is Danny Wellbeck whose only played 21 minutes of premier league football this year When will an England manager have the balls to picks players outside the top 5 or 6 clubs who play week in week out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was the point I was making, as soon as we play a proper decent team we look poor. It’s okay beating these weaker teams but when it matters we don’t perform.

No matter because we all know England's limitations at the moment - an absence of real quality classy players which other team's above and around us have.

In that game we weren’t anywhere near them and again in the play off we looked the same when both teams where at full strength. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're right and you originally said " Typical England performance this against the first top quality team we have played of late (World Cup included)", implying that we hadn't played a quality side in the World Cup, which we had - ie, Belgium in the 4th place play off.
