England always perform like a random collection of indviduals put together in a team that hardly ever plays.
Which is what they are.
Should play the under 21’s with Baines and Oxlade-Chamberlain starting and Walcott up front.
Why is every England manager so scared of dropping Rooney and Gerrard, It’s beggars belief what they bring to the team. Gerrard just doesn’t have the legs any more to run the midfield and Milner is just a waste of good spunk.
And just to add. I don’t think we have gone any worse since the 80’s and 90’s (apart from playing 2 up front i.e Shearer and Sheringham) i just think that everyone else has caught up to the standard of international football. We licked Turkey 8-0 about 20 years ago but now they would probably beat us. Teams like Poland, Ghana (in fact all Africa) Switzerland and Ecuador etc would all probably beat us now. Its a sad state of affairs when we pay the players the most in the world and they aren’t able to beat teams who earn little more than me or you. I won’t criticize last night as much though because Montenegro are a former Yougoslavia state and the Yougoslav’s were a bloody tough side. But now they have broken away to ( i think) 7 individual countries we should be beating them. The days of dominance and being guaranteed quarter final stages of tournaments have long gone. Portugal are that new team.
