Useless International matches

[redanddread]

England are like us (Arsenal) in a way. Qualify for the Major Tournaments but never ever come close to winning it. We always walk the qualifiers and then do nothing when it counts.

Please do not compare Arsenal to England. We've have been known to play some very exciting football- we win a few things every now & again. England have been useless since about 1990 & won nowt since 1966

As it stands, we are going to Russia.

I think our spine, save for Kane/Alli is by far the biggest weakness. Rashford, Kane, Alli, and Sterling are above average.

No clear CB pairing, no clear MF starters save maybe Dier, and insistence upon playing Hart over keepers to whom he is inferior. Kind of like De Gea riding the bench for Castillas, except that Castillas at least won them things.

It's extremely weak and not just the spine we lack fringe players who could add something to the team in a pinch. I do maintain that we haven't had a real manager for a while though, it's obvious to me the team needs to be shaped around Kane and Ali like you said.

How many of our team would get into the Spanish or German sides?

Great stop by Hart there.

Honestly think Lallana and Welbeck would make a real difference here.

They really need a creative spark in midfield.

It's true. We overhype players in this country. The midfield is a big problem. We lack a commanding player there. I don't quite know what Dier does. I'm sure he's great for Sp**s but apart from a few worldies, don't know what he does for England.

Wilshere?

I think they'd be pretty enthusiastic about making Kane work in their system unlike us.

Great double by Hart tbf

My overriding point is England get bashed repeatedly. We know their limitations so I don't see why people enjoy pointing it out so often.

Nothing better to do on this rainy Thursday besides WTF are we supposed to do. It's not like we don't know Arsenal's limitations but still bash the team every day of the week. England are crap and like most armchair pundits we're pointing it out. It's what we do M8.

Wilshere?

There was a reason he won like 7 MoTM' awards in a row when he played for England but he needs to prove his fitness first.

I wish the FA would be under some sort of pressure to succeed.

 

[Notorious Big]

Germany too good.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

Yay, someone on the pitch, some excitement at last.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

Still on course for Russia.

From whom though? The Queen?

Clive just asked Hoddle who he thinks the MOTM is and Hoddle just said "can I go home now?" The most entertaining thing about the match.

 

[Lookin' for a new Baby]

Six added minutes.
