World Cup 2018 Qualifiers

Today's lesson: International matches are so boring! International games played on a pitch recently used for gridiron football are even more boring.

I hate the international break. Who cares who's less rubbish; Malta or Lithuania? This completely irrelevant question could be answered tonight.
 
The problem with England is when you look at the players available in the country you don’t have the range

I reckon over half the English regulars who play in the premier league play for clubs have played for England... with Burnley players being the ones who maybe skew the numbers

The English clubs need to take a serious look at their youth setups - again. They are not producing top players, resulting in the Premier League having to import better players to be able to compete. This also means that English players are not wanted by clubs in the other European leagues, meaning that England are significantly hampered because they don't have players who get impulses from elsewhere. Unlike Spain, Italy, Germany etc.
 
Oxlaide-Chamberlain is redundant from this lineup (not just coz of recent crappy form); we don't need 3 quick dribbler types behind Kane. We'd be better off with Winks instead of Ox, someone who can hurt them with a pass from central areas. Not a good team selection.
 
so the attack would look more like:

------------dier
------winks-------henderson
-------------sterling
----------kane---rashford
 
The Norwegian commentator accused the English team of lacking imagination. Verdict: guilty as charged.
 
Our manager looks out of his depth!
Got nothing against Southgate but it needs a more driven and loud character!

The Ox departs :)
