The International break in one word ....

Unconvincing.

Everyone is yammering on about how good England are now - yet on the radio pundits were saying we must play two holding midfielders against the "better" teams.
Wait a minute, I thought we were one of the better teams?

What folks really mean is we're a lot better against minnows.
Put England up against any decent European teams and we are taken apart at the back.
Yet Gareth reckons we're even better now than in 2018 when we won the World Cup.

There are still a number of question marks about our defence. It is not good enough against the top nations. We have got some excellent forward players like Kane, Sterling, Rashford, Hudson- odoi etc. But without a strong defence we are not going to win anything.

 

Underachievers.

Well over 100 years, 1,001 matches. One piece of Silverware*.
A million miles from good enough, for the nation that invented Association Football. A shameful record.

How many World Cups and European Championships have there been?
I would guess at about 40 by now.
One victory and three semi-final defeats is woeful.

*not counting home nations trophies. Proper silverware.

 

53 years and counting.

Club before country every time.

 

No more international break until March

 

Hallelujah.
