Pipe down folks, we ain't winning WC!

All boards please admin.

Stop the usual fanfare and circus, the hype is accentuating and yes the media are drumming up the frenzy so that it can sell more content, milking every aspect of the world cup and getting the country into a a state of delusion in believing that England "look" like a side that "could and should" win the World cup.

Like suckers, we all fall for it and start getting the flags out and start singing curry songs

Nothing wrong with showing tribal unification and singing but please, don't go thinking England as the side is currently has a "chance" of winning the world cup.

The media has sold us that old rope for so long, and yet we still seem to buy it.

My personal views but if anyone thinks otherwise, tell me why?

scored regularly in the Champions League

Dier in midfield is more awful than Henderson.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Well of course you would say that, he plays for Spurs.

Henderson is truly awful. Not sure why the Mousers are jumping to his defence.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Maybe it's because Mousers know more about football than you do.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


Highly unlikely.


Have you really been supporting Liverpool since the year I was born?

YES.
----------------------------------------------------------------------


I guess you must be coming up to 85 then. Always nice to hear from a supporter from back in the day. I guess your hero would have been Billy Liddell?

Your point:
Done nothing of note at international level or even at European club football.

Truth:
He did.

Evidence provided.


He also scored regularly in the Champions League, and at international level. In both he had a 1 in 2 (give or take) goalscoring record.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
7 goals in about 10 years is now seen as "regularly" scoring in the champions league

in his 20 odd year career he "scored regularly" in the CL

Absolute nonsense. Shearer was not a regular scorer in the CL.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
7 in 16 - that is regular scorer. As I said, give or take, he had a 1 in 2 record in the CL and in international football (30 in 63).
21 in 31 in the UEFA Cup, 1 in 2 in the CWC - so his European record was 29 in 49.

Dier is hugely important player to Spurs. He does alot of the work that you don't see. Filling in for wing backs or a CB. Cam also chip in with the odd goal. Very underrated player even by Spurs fans. As an outsider, is suggest that for Liverpool to take that next step, Henderson would be one of the first to be upgraded. I like him, comes across well and is a neat and tidy player but nothing exceptional.

Dier certainly is underrated.

I do not think he is the best DM at Spurs, or the best CB, or the best RB.

He is a good mixture of all three though, and that flexibility is what often allows us to play in such a fluid way. He is the empty slot in the slide puzzle.

1. are england organised? no

2. is the a clear system of play? no

3. Is the a committed core of players? nope (sorry but theres not as they all cry off and you need 14-16 guys wokring together for 12/18 months of 1 week meet ups to be a team)

4. is there a style thats recognizable? nope.


For me this is same old same old rock up at the last minute, start training 4 weeks out form world cup and hope a team emerges.

We will have the usual rubbish where a maguire or someone emerges and is push as "must play" then the first game we get v a decent side we get hammered.

Can't be too bad because The Netherlands just thrashed the European champions 3-0, didn't we beat The Netherlands? England might be better than you think.
