Another abysmal performance last Wednesday v Norway - not surprised are we ?
Why is it that even the so called minnows of World football continually display huge chunks of flair and originality which clearly shows up England's inadequacies for all to see.
We seem to relish occupancy of the middle third of the park quite happy to pass the ball sideways and backwards, unhurried and totally unaware of the paying fans frustration and resentment.
How often have we seen a 40 yard ball played from defence pinpoint to our "holding midfielder" who (without looking up) promptly smashes it 40 yards back from whence it came from. Why not look up look around and play a decisive forward ball to exploit the opposition and thus create movement and goal chances.
The nearest exponent to this very "difficult" footballing skill by a country mile is Raheem Sterling surely one of the most skilful and exciting players currently in World football.
Our succession of England managers/coaches continually appear to favour the no risk strategy limiting shots and chances resulting in our nosedive down the Internationl football rankings.
40,000 gates "on a good day" at Wembley will soon become the norm at this rate.
