I hope we are more direct under the next manager.
We played our best football in the first half of the first game against Russia.
Walker was excellent down the flank.
Sod possession. Sixty five percent possession doesn't count for anything if you don't score.
We can't play intricate little moves around the 18 yard box.
It was attempted. It was feeble. Ridiculous flicks and back heels. Shocking.
If you're going to play Kane and Vardy, get down the wings and get the ball in the box.
Play to our strengths. Let the opposition have the ball and look to break.
Just look how well Gunter performed for Wales.
Oh for the days of power and pace and overlapping full backs.
As for the next manager, can't see an Englishman in the job, with the possible exception of Hoddle. Poison chalice, anyone?
