Bukayo Saka has been poor for England since that first game v Serbia but what do you expect with Kyle Walker? Something has to change…So the group stages are finally over. I have to say overall I have enjoyed it . One thing I will say about Euro24 is that quality wise it ranks on par with a group of League Two teams playing pre-season friendlies.
Walker at left-back – the reason is that he’s a very accomplished and modern defender. For me, he inverts into midfield from left back like Zinchenko does. If Stones decides to join midfield at some point, then Walker stays back with Guehi Saka RW – the reason is because this is the point of this entire letter. To play for England like he does for Arsenal, he needs Phil Fodegaard and Trentjamin White playing kooky little triangles
When playing for Arsenal, Saka does nearly always cut inside to get onto his left foot. I’m not even sure his right foot works very well. But, as Saka cuts inside, it makes space between the edge of the penalty area and the touchline for White to run into. I tend to agree that without his wingman Saka is much less effective for England. A lot of the media talk about the players who should have been selected for England feels a little bit to me like discussing rearranging the deckchairs on the Titanic – the ship is still going down.
If I see the same FB selection against our next opponents, you’ll be pretty much dead to me Gareth …. it so plainly isn’t working. There are evidently problems at the top of the pitch. For me he should be dropping his captain to the bench – he is proving to be a millstone around our attacking dynamism.
England fans can take not winning silverware, so long as the team has a good go and hopefully impresses others along the way – we have done neither of those things to date.I watched their games. I’m sure they were utter tosh. I’m sure they look disjointed and unable to pass to each other. But they did finish top of their group, right? Without losing, right? Meanwhile France finished second without scoring a goal themselves, Belgium finished second. Portugal have lost to bloody Georgia.
Possibly then followed up by selecting Trent, who’s single job is to boot the ball long . And the guy picking these two? A guy that looks like – had he not been a footballer – he would probably have played the biscuit game at boarding school and now be Deputy Head at the same school.Someone mentioned that they weren’t happy with England’s performances, might’ve been me, was definitely a David Tennant era Dr Who villain. We have all forgotten the Gareth is the manager we deserve.
Nations League to be England B team only. If you play in the qualifiers, you don’t play in the nations league. No point in Kane having all the caps and goals in the qualifiers and nations league.Last night I had a dream. It was the final of the World Cup. England were being managed by Carlo Ancelotti. For some reason, he called me up to play in the final. Bear in mind that I’m in my late 50’s and crap at football.
