keep the ball, one touch, two touch, left foot, right foot.
composure, deft touches, classy, first half yard in the head
why is it that no matter which team they come up against, the England team are technically outclassed?
that is from relative minnows like Belguim up to superpowers like Italy.
When was the last time England produced a player who didnt use one foot for standing on and the other for playing football?
Gazza?
its ridiculous how a football powerhouse can get techically outclassed by virtually every opposition faced, weak or strong.
how has the FA not noticed this sooner........ should have been addressed 20 years ago.

Rooney may be the best English player playing in the premier league, but the most talented player in the England team is Jack Wilshere.
Technically he is unrivalled. No player in our team has the ball control that he possesses.
-------------------------------------
I remember Rooney as a free-spirited teenager playing with so much flair at all levels. His game has changed somewhat and he goes through these boom-bust cycles. Strange.
As for Wilshere, I fear for the kid. We may have another Ramsey on our hands considering he missed an entire season of football.

Wilshere is much more talented than Ramsey, always remember that Sherrif
Ramsey also only started 4/5 games before his injury, Wilshere started 54 games, impressed, got in the team of the year, won young player of the year and made his international debut.

Nice to fans of other teams also seeing Jack's quality.

Saint, Toor has been giving Gerrard a 9 out of 10 for the competition.
Rooney used to be technically brilliant when he first came to United. I don't know what has happened as his ability to retain possession, his touch, dribbling, passing and long distance shooting have all regressed.
I was shot down by VC for saying that Rooney would have been technically more acomplished had he gone to Arsenal. The nature of Wenger's coaching would have improved him technically, whereas United's game is more about power, pace and being a more rounded player, and often their ability is coached out of them.
Nani, Rooney, Ronaldo and Anderson have had their tehnique regressed since they came.

Its not all about passing. English football needs to be direct, fast flowing attacking football. Wave after wave. Yes you need to maintain possession in key times of the game. As a football playing fanatic I'll tell you that England players CAN pass a football, 6 aside to 11 aside to playing at a bus station at midnight. We can pass

The latest hyped up player. What has wilshere actually done to warrant such praise? Absolutely nothing. Cue the but he outplayed xavi iniesta busquets pedro and messi all at once myth argument

Wilshere is overhyped, and he has not peformed enough to a high level, but you'd have to be blind or a Spurs fan not to be able to see that he possesses more footballing ability than any English player.

like most things in this country, we IMPORT the quality.
We do not manufacture anymore, we just go abroad and pick it up better and cheaper.
The finances of our league have allowed virtually every EPL club to operate this way.
Many other leagues have less resources and need to produce their own to make ends meet.
