When England Face Top Notch Opposition

It certainly wouldn't bother him if it was The World Cup or Euros finals, he like many before ( Rooney etc ) have the same disregard for qualifying games , let the others hopefully get us to qualify , and I'll be ready to go in the Finals, I don't rate him , never have , another "i think I'm better than the rest "

Not keen missen roma , not as good as he thinks he is and if his mate Kane ain't scoring he may as well stop at hoome n'all .

Still winds me up thinking about that chance he missed bang on half time in the semi final against Croatia .

That goes in and we go 2-0 up at half time .arghhhh !!

Niver going to see us win owt whilst I'm on this earth , may as well chalk feck it on it .

I was at the game on Saturday so didn't have the advantage of seeing the tv close up stuff and the analysis. What I did benefit from was the view of what happened off the ball not necessarily seen on tv. My view is this, we had too many non performers Alli not worth his place absolutely anonymous, I don't want to get involved attitude, Shaw rash diving in losing his man but great ball for the goal, Gomez positionally poor not finding the angle to receive a pass that is essential in Southgates plan, gave the ball away easily, Kane received no service but compared to the Spanish front players had no idea how to get himself involved in general play and Henderson? Probably the best we have when compared to Dier but what a fecking carthorse. Need to find 2 alternatives. As for Southgate, his forced sub was Shaw going down but at 1-2 he tries to change the game by swapping Hendo for Dier then brings on a striker with little time left. Not impressed but bad luck with the disallowed goal from what I saw.

Got lucky in the world cup and will get found out by the better teams as proven by the last 3 matches. Got to sympathise a bit with Gareth, he tries to play a game that might win us something one day but the players go back to the greed league and play a different style. That's why we get turned over in the champions league because our football is predictable and naive.

Got money to burn in UK premier league but focus on domestic football and not the big picture of winning in Europe. Nowt will change any time soon in my opinion.

Rant over!
