Exactly, Sir Alf Ramsey said back in the day, he didn't pick the best players, he picked the best team.Yes but 11 of the best players for the system that will win the game

Forgive me, he 100 percent deserves to be starting thenMaguire has made 1 appearance, 24 minutes this season
It’s nailed on isn’t it. Brilliantly so.Well then.
Waistcoatwanker will be their next manager won't he?
- Waistcoatwanker is coming to the end of his reign.
- Hodgson is around to no longer than the end of the season.
- Waistcoatwanker plays turgid football.
- Waistcoatwanker does not like change.
- Beaky likes a perceived 'box office' story.
- Beaky likes cautious managers.
Yeah, to a degree. Surely the team need a plan though ? I didn’t see one in the 1st half. Awful given the quality of players and poor opposition.Do we simply have to accept that the level of tactical coaching to compete at the top club level (which we now have the pleasure of watching on a weekly basis) requires hours each day for weeks on end to achieve.
Something national coaches will not be able to achieve. And sticking 11 of 'your best' out there is all any national coach can do
I think whichever clown wrote this was smoking some strong stuff during that game. Wish I was.
England player ratings: Kyle Walker brilliant against Ukraine as Jordan Henderson deals well with pre-match pressure
Kyle Walkers superb equaliser saw England draw 1-1 with Ukraine in their latest European Qualifier; Jordan Henderson was subject to intense pre-match speculation, but performed well in his first England game since a controversial move to Saudi Arabiawww.skysports.com
I try not to post on these threads as the comments seem totally bizarre to me. Like football and follow a club = follow your country. There’s no club v country - that’s just how it is. Nothing like a major tourno and annoyingly for many we’ve been really good in the last threeI guess there’s only me and @Sheebo left but I’m English and I support the national team. I don’t just suddenly start my interest when they get to the quarter finals of a big tournament and all my mates are suddenly off to the pub, faces painted. I want us to win qualifiers and friendlies too. I’ve got mates who follow England everywhere, a mate who lost an eye in Turkey following England.
I watched us under Hyypia, Case, Hinshlewood. Hopeless coaches selecting hopeless players. At no point did I post “come on Barnet / Port Vale / Blackpool you can beat this shit”.
I’m sure you’ll get loads of trendy likes, but ultimately devoting yourself to a club cause beyond your own nationality and culture leads to where Newcastle fans were last night, decked in Saudi shirts and cheering on bloodthirsty princes.
I find it odd that many who correctly call out entitlement in the Premier League also think England should beat #TeamsLike Ukraine. They were as close to home as possible and are everyone’s second team. They have £100 million transfers in two players. A draw away from home given where we were in the table at the start is fine.TS and R5 tonight, are very very protective of the players and GS. Apparently the crowd noise was intimidating and the players/GS were concerned about Ukrainian’s counter attack as the game wore on. For example, Stuart Pearce … I guess a close mate of GS’s.
Airbrushing over half the players not turning up. Aside from perennial easy target Hendo. Saka, Bellingham, Rice, Chilwell offered absolutely nowt.
We weren't really good in the last one. 2 good group wins against dismal opposition in Iran and Wales were the high points.I try not to post on these threads as the comments seem totally bizarre to me.

Absolutely scandalous that we play like that with the players at our disposal. Cant wait to Southgate's gone but I don't trust the FA when it comes to hiring the next manager.Watching England is like watching paint dry, very predictable, and I'm glad that I missed nearly all of that match.

Potter probably lined up to replace Southgate after Euro's hence the reason why he's declined two job offers, so we'll be in for much of the same.Absolutely scandalous that we play like that with the players at our disposal.

As we do for every tourno …. then come away empty handed. He can’t beat the better teams. The annoying thing for me is that We have stood still, we play the same way as we did when he first started. Turgid, risk averse bollocks. when we play in red we look just like his middlesbrough side. Football has moved on, sadly he hasn’t.I find it odd that many who correctly call out entitlement in the Premier League also think England should beat #TeamsLike Ukraine.
