A better manager would have had us winning these trophies

Better manager would have scored more in a shootout?

That’s a well researched, insightful polemic Pete, doffs cap.

I've done a lot of work on root cause analysis and in this case that was the result. It's amazing when work skills come in useful.

I might add using Grealish as an example has been ok for England but has struggled at City this season. Like so many players before him it takes time to get Peps football.
So to expect City players to forget Peps training for waistcoat isnt going to be easy.

Just look who Walker and Stones have as a keeper for England ! Or who Stones has as a partner in England, non of whom are at the level of laporte or dias.

Stones has carried Maguire but the press/media say it's the other way round lol

I think the main difference with Grealish is that most international matches involve totally sub-standard opponents, in some cases virtually non-league teams compared to the PL. I don't think you can truly assess how good a player is from international football which has become no more than a money-making exercise for FIFA, UEFA, and the broadcasters. Apart from the latter stages of the Euros and the World Cup international football is pure Micky Mouse standard.

Might not have need to get to penalties with a better manager ;)

He deserves a chance. Statistically he's the best we've had since Sir Alf Ramsey. He's got us to the very latter stages in 3 major tournaments. All of the players were knackered from a full season. There is no reason to doubt we won't be there or there abouts this world cup. The chants last night were a disgrace and symptomatic of many of today's fans

I'm not an England supporter but, from the outside looking in, this appears to to be a perfectly sane and rational view.
Also, on a side note, it might do England no harm to go into a tournament with their media and fans expecting nothing (but with a good team) rather than the usual unwarranted bullishness (with an overrated team).

Noticed that all BBC Dramas have PC influenced minorities in them to a much larger ratio than actuality exists. I’m not a little Englander but it just doesn’t reflect our demographic as an actual Nation.

It's in every thing now. Adverts are the worst. I don't see any of my type. Fat overweight curry and beer loving womaniser.

 

[The Light Was Yellow Sir]

And a picture of Phil and Southgate just underline the association of negativity and failure.
Very boring and very predictable.
Phil was only on for 20 odd minutes and had more shots in that time than the rest of the team out had managed all game .

All Stones and Walkers fault in the Mail.

Tossers from the BBC are now counting Pride flags, looks like we missed out on that trophy.

I'm all for the pride movement but quite a petty thing to do and the bloke has too much time on his hands. Nothing new for a BBC employee..

Maybe he should Drinkbeer and relax a bit!
