I think this is a clear sign that all the English players are shite and they only look decent because they are being carried by rhe foreign players.

No one’s saying they’re all shite. Just not the golden balls that English media builds them up as, before tearing them down

Deutschland?

I don’t think they are shit in general I just think some are a product of the club system for me the prime example is Foden.

That’s just the media scapegoat argument to cover up the flaws of a manager hopelessly out of his depth. Lets be real England have world class players in many areas of the pitch - Walker, Alexander-Arnold, Rice, Saka, Kane, Bellingham and Foden all have decent arguments for being the best player in the world at their position.

The fact this manager can’t get anything from them is far more about him than them.

Then you can also get into why he picks players like Wharton after a handful of PL starts but ignores Curtis Jones etc.

How’s @Nikola doing? Last in that group gotta be depressing.

A little stat which is getting missed England have now only won 2 of the last 8 games so people expecting a major turn around in performance and reaching a bit.

I hope that everyone was busy watching the dross served up by Southgate but to anyone else, who watched the absolute shite served up by Stojković, I wholeheartedly apologise.

If this team played together in the Premier League under this manager, they probably wouldn’t make it into the top four.

And Southgate would have been sacked long ago.

We have a nice German word for that: ā€œAngsthasen Fussballā€

Nah. Southgate is hopeless- we all know that. But the players are vastly overrated. They look good in their club setups, under far superior coaches, but struggle to adapt once out of that structure.

Hah, great timing… I genuinely forgot that Serbia finished last - I forgot because I was busy listing the tactical innovations that Stojković conjured in the last few weeks, let alone months. No matter how much we love football in Serbia and Montenegro, we’re never going to be ā€œfootball nationsā€ because we absolutely suck the life out of it, because we put the least competent and the most arrogant people in charge. Football has really not been kind to me personally over the last two years on any level.

The people saying the players aren’t good enough would you still be saying this if Pep, Klopp, Arteta even Emery were in charge. Im not usually a betting man but id put a wedge on we would be doing better.

Nah I’m just not buying it, they’re all excellent players. Rice was a top PL DM while playing for David Moyes, changes system completely for Arsenal and is still very good. He goes to England and looks like he can barely kick a ball. It’s not the players, its the lack of gameplan or ideas from the coaching staff.
