Watching England-Italy with friends the other day....general consensus was that you guys (England) have put WAAAAAY too much importance to work rate and physical game...to the point where it is being detrimental to your football (national team, but also English players in general)...
Your NT is loaded with supreme athletes who are not that great at football. You have no highly skilled players. When you have a Silva, Pirlo, Ozil, Hazard, etc (or more than one of them) in your NT - you will get back to the top where you belong....unfortunately, attitudes of some people even on here tell me it is not happening in a long while....
Work rate is great, but it doesn't make you a better or worse footballer than the other guy.
P.S: This is why guys like Edin sometimes get shit in BPL...cause they don't run around endlessly...which is completely unjustifiable by non-British fans.
Edin gets shite sometimes fella as when he's off form or can't be arsed he has a touch worse than emile heskey in his prime, has the movement of a lamp post and misses open goals for fun!
