RE: England, England! - World Cup 2018
The English young talent is astounding, but so was the previous generation, of Rooney and Steven Gerrard, and Lampard, and Beckham... and it was cultivated alright. It's not the talent, or absence of it I lament about, it's the coaching... Apart from the Rooney decision, all what Southgate did was a no-brainer, anyone could have assembled this squad. The question is the tactics, and who's gonna make the machine run - the one guy who runs things on the pitch. Doesn't seem to be one in this squad.
