ENGLAND HAVE NO WORLD CLASS PLAYERS

Page 1 of 6

posted on 3/9/17

Some might argue that in recent, England never had any such players?

We just flatter to deceive !

The young promising players we have get paid so much they stop trying to be better and think they are great already ?!

That's the system to blame
Education is needed

Probably. Once Lampard and Terry retired, that was it. No world class players left in the squad.

They do have some very good players though and it is his job to get them to play together as a unit and early signs are he gets them to play like the wally with the brolly

He's not wrong.

Some people might claim Kane or Alli (Spurs fans) but neither are in that bracket yet (or may never be).

Plenty of teams have won the World Cup etc without world class players but having a strong work ethic and leadership, we have neither at the moment

I don't think they have.

Which team won the World Cup without a world class player or more?

posted on 3/9/17

Kane is close but not quite (yet). I think Rashford and Ali have the talent to be but aren't yet either so he's right in my eyes.

Kane is close but needs to prove he's not a three season wonder

Southgate is a terrible choice for manager. A typical go with the flow fa stooge. There are plenty of very good players available. We don't have a Ronaldo or messi but never have,neither have Germany yet they've done alright. No courage in the coaching and boring football in every game for the last many years.
Those players can be exciting for their clubs but are hamstrung by tactical instructions from limited text book only coaching.

World Cup maybe not, but the euros have been won by worse teams than this England side.

We won't win anything soon though I don't think.

We have players that could be on their way. Certainly top class.

It's the dire lack of midfield options that worry me. Good players capable of very good games, but nothing close to top level

Southgate needs to play the same team, get them organised and be difficult to beat.

No Hodgson like tinkering on the eve of of a big competition.

England don't have any world class players, their best player Lallana is currently injured, but they can still be awkward to play against and well organised.

Greece won the euros but not sure there's been a side in the last 30 years that's won the World Cup without having any world class players?

Dont want open a new discussion of what world class is anyway.

Fully agree. Dont think that we Germans have world class players in our team when we won the WC.

He was right.

England have good players, so let's play guys in form and not the big name players. We win 4-0 and it was boring, but England won.

Load of old toss. England have a lot of decent players, he's just getting his excuses in early. They persistently under perform. The who England set up is screwed.

Denmark won it too in 1992 with no class players...don't think they even qualified originally, they got in due to Yugoslavia breaking up

I seem to remember the goalie was ok?

theres no context to southgates statement,but hes never been a good judge of players

I would say Kane is world class. I would say he is in the top 5 strikers in the world.

England have some very good players. If a manager like Klopp/Poch got hold of this group he could turn them into a high pressing attacking outfit that could challenge. Unfortunately, we continuously hire rubbish managers.
