The biggest problem England have got stands at just under 6ft 4inches and currently plays for Manchester United 😉.
All about the Euros in my opinion , this England squad has to deliver the major trophy we are all desperate for .
I still worry about who partners Stones in defence when it gets to the business end of the tournament , at some stage we are going to have to put out the French , Germans , Dutch , Italians , Spanish in knock out football on German soil .
We've never done it before , ever .
The French world cup quarter final was a classic example of the small margins when it gets to the business end in international tournament football .
On the night there wasn't a width of a fag paper between ourselves and the French but Maguire lost Giroud for a split second and he won the game for the French .
There's always a question mark over our resilience , Argentina were not the best side at the last World Cup but they had resilience and belief , true they had Messi but let's be honest he didn't really win the world cup for Argentina he was more in the played his part territory .
Argentina threw leads away against the Dutch and the French in the final , it would have broken us but they had that character and resilience to overcome it .
Mentally with England we are still very weak in my opinion and that includes our manager .
Don’t know what one of our most top performing players has to do with anything, I agree though that we do have a squad worthy of winning something. Here’s an idea, being as Southgate is so bad maybe all the managers third and lower in the rankings should all be sacked. What do you think?
You’re missing the point! With that talented squad of players even Darren Moore would do no worse! We were on the fringes of promotion with Moore but with that squad that season - even Barry Fry would have got us into that position. A decent manager would have got us promoted as we were so much better than the Vile!
PS - Port Vale even worse so say their fans and going down!
I only watched highlights of the Belgium match but I thought we looked decent going forward.
But dear oh dear, our defence!
Pickford and Dunk wouldn’t get in my old Sunday side with their howlers tonight.
We need our best 11 on the pitch for the Euros, too many of these squad fillers are not up to the job, especially the defenders.
Well played Bowen and young Mainoo though, that kid looks very promising.
The sooner we get Henderson back in the better though, we don’t want to risk finding another young gem.
