I reckon this is the worse England team for years.

    Hart - remember Iceland and Pep's judgement
    Walker - speedy and err.. that's it.. distribution aimless
    Rose - not creative going forward - see Walker re: distribution
    Stones - faultless ovo
    Cahill - keeps getting caught on the ball
    Walcott - lacks a footballing brain
    Henderson - a kind of midfield Rooney without the skill
    Rooney - the new Butch Wilkins
    Sturridge - brilliant - for 10 seconds each game
    Lingard - would look effective in the Championship
    Alli - crafty - a bit of a Martin Peters

    Overall, nowt to advance the pulse.

    Disagree. Technically we're as good as most teams, the problem is that we seem to lack a winning mentality, and can't cope with the pressure at major tournaments

    The truth often hurts.

    I do support them nevertheless.

    We lack focus and desire because players care more about their image rights and how they are perceived than they do about being the absolute best at their profession

    Yep..so we're not as good.

    Not that I agree with your assessment btw.

    We're not as good. And not getting any nearer to being as good.

    The biggest problem is the fans expecting too much. And Stones isn't faultless, he's far from it.

    Agreed, they need new blood in the team and a manager who can motivate them, won't happen with an interim manager, just hope we get someone in charge with imagination, but that's against all the principles of the FA

    Fans expectation is driven by the fa and the players.

    Players secure sponsorship deals and happily advertise products in advertisements proclaiming them to be the best and to be heroes and they go on TV shows and gameshow where they are hailed as heroes and the best in the world. The fa love to push this perception on their website, with their premier league and with big money payments to the 'top' clubs and players and it's all a big circle that revolves around money.


    They perpetuate the myth that we are brilliant but in reality they are making the players less focused on being the best footballers, fans are simply buying the hype that the fa and players themselves generate

    This is what we are missing our own usual ritual team supporting weekend for.

    Does anyone think it was worth it?

    They make a living playing football, the rest is a distraction driven by greed and a desire for even more money

    Can't comment, I watched "Can't Pay? We'll Take it Away" then went for a curry.
