It is impossible to win anything with this group of players.
========================================================
It’s been impossible to win anything with any group of players since 1966. England have not been amongst the favourites since 1970, as far as I can work out.
After every game, we dust off our expertise and experience, and play the pretend-game of imagining England would be better if different players were picked, a different manager was appointed, a different formation was used.
But the end-result is always sheite.
At least they qualified this time. There’ve been a number of WCs and Euros where they didn’t even manage that.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The performance v Iceland was even worse than before, if that was possible.
Rose Alli etc were so bad. Think Dier and Sterling were so bad, they even got hooked at halftime
Dier and Walker were good, only 2 I remember.
But he did get taken off early on cos we were losing, if I remember correctly

We should play 3 at the back with two in midfield
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I used to want this formation but don't think we have the midfielders to play this. Our defence is actually reasonably strong and reckon we need only 4 back there and overload midfield.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
With 2 in midfield and 3 at the back just need legs in midfield which England can provide, gets beat out of our strong wingbacks and forwards/wingers. My issue would be who plays LCB (Stones RCB, Dier/Maguire CB) and who would play next to Henderson in midfield.
