Im still convinced the England squad don't care enough

I know the FA doesn't but I'm not sure the players really care. Think they fake it a bit
 
Always next time

Not the world cup like there's no chance

But perhaps a few national teams will experience bus explosions and England will get another go at the euros
 
Didn’t go down very well at the pub when a few Irish kids started singing “go on home British soldiers”.

Meh. Didn’t think I’d care but really thought we’d do it after the equaliser.
 
saka also overrated as hell.

Cucurella is such a lightweight crappy defender, can't even make the chelsea team and saka barely laid a finger on him

Saka is usually surrounded by superior foreign talent and coached by a Spaniard which inflates his generally mediocre ability
 
One huge lesson I hope we take from this ... you don't need to 'manage the game time' of exceptional young players ... you just need to let them play - and with freedom ...

That’s more or less been my stance for the last 3-4 years.

I cannot be convinced that with a squad containing attacking players such as Kane, Bellingham, Foden, Saka, Rice, Palmer, Eze, Bowen, Watkins and so on that we should be playing so conservative and defensive.

Going forward one thing for me is clear though for (presumably) the new manager - build it around Palmer, that lad’s special, a lot more than I think I/ we may even credit him for.
