Unfortunately the money on offer in the Premier League provides them with a very easy comfort zone to stay in.
I've lost some respect for Wilshere. He wants a clear path to walk into the first team even at the expense of his own development. I would have liked to have seen him at least fight for a starting position this season until January. Hand in a transfer request after if you still can't get into the team and haven't learned anything new from Unai.
England played 2 good teams and lost to them both.
They were lucky to get as far as they did.
Ooft. Bit of a bleak way of looking at things but fairly accurate.
I'd counter that though by saying I did enjoy watching our games, I thought we mostly played well and they made much less hard work of beating some teams than they have on previous occasions.
Getting to the semi-final flattered us, had the draw not opened up so kindly we probably wouldn't have, but there seemed a bit more about this England team than 4 years ago when we went in with low expectations and they still disappointed us.
We do lack quality though.
