We have a chance. Look at the Euros. Portugal have a very average team. Wales are average. On paper, we had a solid team but it comes down to bad management. I think it was during the World Cup in the first half against Italy, we were playing the best attacking football I’ve seen from England. Quick rapid attacks and it came from us playing Sterling behind the striker. Roy, like the idiot he is, decided to play Rooney in the middle and switch it from the second half and we looked a totally different team. We need a manager to make some hard decisions about selection because we’re not that far off technically.Originally Posted by Letters
Kane, Vardy, Sturridge, Welbeck, Rashford all are pretty decent front options. Germany, Portugal, Wales and Spain don’t have that sort of striker option. Our midfield isn’t that bad either. It’s weaker than our rivals but we’d be far worse off if we had a Lampard and Gerrard situation. Neither player distributed the ball well for their clubs and were lucky to have foreign partners next to them to ease that burden. We really struggled to play the ball to feet and would end up knocking the ball long to Peter Crouch or we had the days where we knocking it long to Heskey for him to nod it down to Owen. It was a piss poor long ball football.
