if you put someone like Klopp in charge there's no way this happens in IMO he would have gone for the kill. It comes from the top and the players on the pitch. if you have 8/9 defenders on the pitch or whatever it is you are lucky to score at the end of the day.

as for other comments about opportunities etc we are always going to have issues until we sort out the midfield. there's a common misconception that midfield isn't very important in this country - not sure why. but its the most important area.. i hope Southgate realises that Rice and Philips...

Every one always says Belgium this Belgium that blah blah... but if you do a composite team with England i would only have 3 Belgium players. Courtois, Tielemans and KDB. I think the Belgium thing is a bit of a myth personally. Saying that though the England team with those 3 players in it...

To be fair - if we loaned out DDG or made it clear that Henderson was Number 1 then this would mostly go away (from what he has said). It seems like it was trying to get into the team that was causing the issue. IMO even if DDG is slightly better he is not worth £300,000 a week more than...

it would be very interesting to see what would have happened in that final should klopp or pep have been in charge of England. There is clearly an issue with ball retention and it being a problem and anyone that doesnt see it as a problem just doesn't understand football. it makes no sense...

the whole reason we are talking about these players is because you need them to win such games. they are the key for ball retention. when you are 1-0 up in a final without these players its almost impossible to key rythmn tempo etc and to retain the ball.

i have really seen the benefit this tournament for the first time of having the ball -it completely tires out the other team constantly having to close down, chase the ball etc and waiting for the ball really frustrates teams. Spain to do it too much IMO but England definitely need to...

I think the main reason can be explained as follows; imagine you have a wife and every 6 months you buy her a diamond. after 5 years you have a great collection of diamonds. your wife is a very sexy woman and naturally you want to parade her in front of all of her friends looking her best...

He's done something that nobody else has been able to do. I also don't buy it being luck because we got to the Semi Final in the World Cup as well... so he's doing something right. One of the pundits said that if the teams had played with the other teams manager England would have won the game 2...

I'm not sure i agree with the OG post i mean Southgate has been applauded just about everywhere he could be... HOWEVER, in the two single biggest games that we have had with him as our manager we have suffered the same fate in very similar circumstances. I'm talking about Italy and Croatia. We...

I think he missed a trick with the penalties. Saying they are the best 5 kick takers is just bizzare. IF anything you want to pick the 5 players with the most, guys, gile and with the biggest balls. I would have had them on the training ground throwing dodgeballs in the rain trying to score...

Mourinho was wrong on anawful lot of things during his spell at our club. Notably Shaw who has proved him so so so wrong to the point where Mou looks stupid. Anyway - Mourinho was always quite criticual of Rash and what he always said was (1) he's not a young inexperienced player (which is true)...

dont see why pickford is playing over hendo personally. he would have saved that freekick for sure.

If he goes to city he will be an absolute beast IMO and score bags of goals every season because they are utterly dominant in most/ all games. Compared to Tottenham it will be like playing training gamed for him... however, this is also the same story for every striker in the world that can...

the team lacks leadership and drive is my personal assessment. Anyone coming in with a wealth of experience and a desire to win will only help us be more successful IMO. The problem with the team at the moment is that 8/10 they look like they need a kick up the backside. Someone like varane is...
