Nine players pull out Harry has spat his dummy out saying club before country, I say stop these pointless international breaks the players are playing every week.
 
The new manager cannot be bothered to turn up so I guess the players cannot be arsed.
 
Unfortunately the clubs that they play for and the players realise they are the people that employ them and pay their wages and they should come first in real terms so Harry is wrong.
 
I don't follow England so didn't know what a waste of time this is I am not surprised 9 players have said sod that.


The UEFA Nations League is an international football competition that features the men's national teams of the European governing body's member associations. The competition was founded in 2018 and replaced the traditional international friendly format to ensure that all games are competitive

This is the competition that the 2nd ranked European team (and 4th in the world) are currently mid-table in the 2nd division?
I'm not sure I'd call that competitive. I don't think England take it that seriously.
 
We have always had some of the best players in the world in the squad but for some reason they never play well enough together to get us over the line the last last 24 years are below i have a feeling its not going to change.

The best players do not make the best team a team is one that can play together.
Brian Clough had a few good players but many mediocre players (Nottingham forest)but look how they played together and for him.

This is where the problem lies you can make a team of average players play well together if you give them time to gel and keep the same basic team its obvious from our lack of results as you say playing the best players does not make the best team especially if you keep making lots of changes.
 
Why is Kane even there, still a very good club player but at international level a grandad, Walker is another, we have some seriously good young players in this country we need to play them

We may see some changes when the new manager finally takes over.
 
The irony is, people hated Southgate.
Yet he got to more finals than any other England manager. Ever.

I honestly don't think it matters who manages England as i said you can put the best players in the country into a team but getting them to gel is a different matter, Pep was offered the job and as he is out of contract at the end of the season i thought he might take it but its a poison chalice i am not surprised he turned it down.
