My view on English football

After last night I realised how overrated english football is.
The championship can offer some good games,but I've witnessed very few this season.As Beckenbauer described the English national team at the world cup as a 'kick and rush team',it annoyed me a lot at the time but I now realise that he was right.
Last night,as we all know,saints were terrible and Leicester were far superior than us in every single way,but I reckon that they didn't manage to string more than 5 passes together last night,it was truly 'kick and rush' football,it's worrying in every single way at the massive lack of technique that a lot of our players possess at this level,it's quite shocking.

In the EPL it's a different story,a league that's full of skillful players(most of them foreigners) so it's easier to play pass and move.I'm not saying that english footballers are rubbish,this is not intended to be derogatory towards our players,our english players,but something is wrong here.We know that saints have been passing the football around this season but they stop passing it when under pressure or a goal down which shouldn't happen.
There are english player than are full of technique and skill,Wilshere,Adam Johnson,Lallana...but they are few and far between...
There are other players that show as much passion and drive as the english players but we seriously lack technique and skill.

I'm not saying that players in the championship should be as skillful as david silva etc but they seem to lack basic skills,well that's what I thought anyway...
I know that teams in the championship close down on teams and stop them from playing but I just don't think that all this 'kick and rush' football is good for the game,and our footballing nation...but every team is entitled to play the way they want to,but people shouldn't complain when we get knocked out in a major competition.
The only thing that Poyet said that was right was the lack of technique in english football,he was right...

 

Is this being ignored or overlooked for a reason?

 

I completely agree with Banana. For a team that's supposed to be one of the best in the world, technically they don't compare to the likes of Spain, and it's very hard to see any players who could make it into those teams based on their technical ability. We don't have a Messi or a Ronaldo or a Xavi, and we certainly don't have an obvious constant stream of talented youngsters either.

Look at Spain again (they're #1 in the world for a reason, as you can see I like using them as an example). Not only do they have excellent players in the team currently, but there are some very talented younger players waiting to slot into that team, such as Thiago, Iker Muniain, Javi Martinez. They were all part of the U21 team that won the European Championship last year. Hell, even the likes of Mata and Silva are waiting to move in there too. Where did England come in the U21s? They got put out in the group stages with 2 points from 3 games. How do you expect England to progress with players like Ryan Bertrand? Yeah they could turn out to be decent, but world beaters? Not a chance.

English football is in for a tough time over the next couple of tournaments. A lot of the so-called "golden generation" are starting to lose their legs, and there is very little quality that's waiting in the wings to fill their boots.

 

Banana, I would read this but you bore me

 

This.

 

Sigh....why do so many people like to stir up a fuss?

 

What dick did you suck to get into Loughborough Uni? Or are you outstanding at some sport?

 

he actually makes a good point

 

You think you know me just like that, but you really don't. Unfortunately, I'm not gonna get into a slagging match with you just because you've deduced I go to Loughborough.

 

A pin also makes a good point.

 

cool story bro

 

It was a serious question. You obviously aren't sharp enough to get the "tongue in cheek" first bit as Loughborough is a very difficult uni to get into without being outstanding at sport. Negative boy.

 

Keep that wit up.....

 

thanks pal

 

Anytime chum.

 

Whatever you say. What do I know anyway? I just sucked someone's dick to get here apparently.

 

For crying out loud Grow some skin.

 

I know you are, but what am I?

 

Really?

 

Well this is going well
