The England Football Team Thread

[Agony]

The national team doesn't need players that don't have to fight as hard for a place at their club team because a quota guarantees them a place over a more talented foreign player.

[Lieutenant]

Gordon Taylor bemoaning the lack of english number 10s in the league

So sky sports news display a graphic showing the literal only number 10s in the league

Rooney

Wickham

Campbell

Wilshere

So dumb

[Lens]

any restrictions on player nationality in the premier league would weaken the league

 

if England want to improve, their players need to be more confident travelling abroad to play in other football leagues, like earlier suggested.

 

and @ Toney's comment. what competitive football team in the prem is going to sacrifice their own team performance to try and help the England team?

 

they don't care about the England team, they care about fielding their own best team

[Michel Kane]

There are many reasons why England isn't producing enough elite footballers.

PL clubs not offering young English players enough 1st team opportunities is one of MANY reasons.

If you're blaming JET not playing at because Gervinho, get your facts straight please, they weren't even at the club at the same time.

Additionally, these sort of man are not serious. I'm saying JET & Nico Yennaris in FADED during the season getting plastered on a weekday.

Young English footballers don't have the same sort of discipline & hunger their foreign counterparts do, FACT.

[Jam]

It's all in coaching for me.

 

The FA is slipping, lol.

 

Well not all...

[Lens]

I'm a Tottenham fan, love AVB, but disagree completely with his comments

 

re last seasons callups: when You see a player might be good enough, You have to call them up and see how they perform.

 

if, after that, You don't think they will benefit the team in the future, You don't call them back up until Your opinion on that changes

 

re Townsend: it's not a friendly, the club manager's opinion is irrelevant, why does he need to "contact him" to say he intends to call the player up for the England squad.

 

talking about "continuity" in the national team like You don't have to earn, re earn, prove You deserve and compete for Your place at all times.

 

no they're not gonna be called up and guaranteed first team football for England all season. they play when they're required

At the absolute foundational level, it's the coaching, culture & to an extent the parenting that is failing these young players.

It doesn't at the PL clubs. Well maybe it does, you have teams fighting for the signature of fucking 5-7 year olds & it's getting worse because of the EPPP rules that have come in.

[Lens]

if a man would rather go on loan in the 2nd division than in Ligue 1 or the Dutch league, he can't be helped, and doesn't deserve to be

[Nidge Weasle]

Have to rate man like michael mancienne,

c/s Lens this whole page

[Michel Kane]

There's nowhere near enough cooperation between the FA & the Premier League.

Nothing substantial will change until that becomes the case which looks unlikely with the amount of money the PL generates.

[Haze-e]

England are at least 20 years away from winning anything major.

[Thizz]

Sam Hutchinson at Vitesse on loan.

Shame about his injury/retirement don't think he'll ever over come that.

[Michel Kane]

No, 10 years minimum, realistically 15.

[Benicio del Toney]

If you're blaming JET not playing at because Gervinho, get your facts straight please, they weren't even at the club at the same time.

 

 

I've said before a guy like Jay Emmanuel Thomas shoulda got a chance before Gervinho was bought.

[Benicio del Toney]

What about Scott Sinclair's case?

 

had potential, chelsea brought because of that, never got a brake at chelsea went out on loan then finally moved to swansea, shined at swansea so snapped up at city, never made the grade shipped to WBA. There is a reason why Mancini was not picking him

 

2 totally separate cases.

 

In either case had there been a quota he would have probably played for Chelsea and not be trying to restart his career at 24.

[Benicio del Toney]

Have to rate man like michael mancienne,

 

Nothing to rate, had Frank Arnesen not come for him and Bruma they would be in the same position as so many others.

One is a winger, the other is a central player whether it be upfront, behind the striker or in the middle of the park.

Either way, it's stupid comparison.

[Benicio del Toney]

Arsenal used Gervinho from the left.

 

JET's best position is from the left, what are you talking about?

[Benicio del Toney]

 

 

 

They were used in the exact same way.

[Michel Kane]

At Arsenal, he was never considered a winger in the long-term.

[Benicio del Toney]

At Arsenal, he was never considered a winger in the long-term.

 

I used to watch Arsenal at Underhill, he's played both up top and on the wing.

 

In the season they got rid of him he was ridiculous in the reserves.

 

 

 

At that point he had 10 Goals and 5 Assists in 6 Appearances.

 

 

He shoulda got a chance before Gervinho was bought.
