    England

    https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/56586894

    Declan Rice believes England are an "entertaining team to watch"

    My god I fell to sleep watching the Albania game! I know they like to build from the back but watching Defenders pass it to each other across the defence and seeing players on the edge of the opposition box decide to go backwards sometimes as far as the goalie rather than have a shot is not my idea of entertainment!

    Declan Rice was also the worst culprit of going backwards in the last game!!!!! Sooooo negative! Also let’s not forget this was Albania not Germany or France!

    A think there's certainly promise in the England squad, thuz some excellent young players coming thru. However, we need to knock this laikin art from back on eeard. Offensively we are a big threat. Defensively, am not convinced

    I don't care what this pundit or that pundit says but Gareth simply doesn't know his best team yet .

    I'm not particularly blaming Gareth by any means because he very rarely has the opportunity to field a settled team because he's got to keep the PL clubs onboard .

    That's the problem unfortunately .

    The Premier League supersedes International football .

    We have the players to go deep in to the Euro's in my opinion .

    Unfortunately Gareth doesn't quite know who they are and unless he's remarkably lucky we will do well to get much beyond the quarter finals in my opinion .

    Looking at this tonight the semi's would be over achieving .

    Just how many young England under 21's start for their clubs in the PL ?

    If they do then they are automatically upgraded to the full England squad .

    It's a bit of a false picture in my opinion is the under 21 level .

    To get a true reading of emerging talent I think the age groups below the under 21's gives the better assessment .

    We need an attack minded coach.
