Than that's tactics, nothing to do with the player.

England should never appoint a manager that hasn't won at least an FA cup.
I'd also have liked to have seen him start a game as well but I think Youngs experience won that battle - whilst having a relatively poor tournament by any players standards he dealt with pretty much most things that were thrown at him. I can't grumble too much about it now.
Yeah but I'm not english mate. If it was Australia somehow making the final against France then sure (we played them in the group stage and sure I wanted to win but not through any fault of his) but we didn't get out of the group so from then on I was just going for the teams with spurs players.
I can remember at least 4 efforts on goal. Trippier goal. Kane's two chances and Stones header that was cleared off the line.
Sterling was definitely causing you problems and I was also surprised at the substitute. I actually wouldn't have been against us trying something different, perhaps going to a flat back four and putting Rashford, Sterling and Kane up there and bringing on Dier to partner Henderson (and occasionally drop into a back three) but that's just me.
Hopefully over the course of the next few years, we'll see some more players get chances who will hopefully be difference makers. Winks, Cook, Shelvey perhaps in central midfield who all give us something different. You never know, even Grealish might get a call up if he comes to Spurs and impresses.
Players come out of nowhere. Kane, Trippier, Maguire etc. are all testament to that.
Fair enough, maybe I took solace in the fact that we were a great side last season and knew in all likelihood we were going to give it another good go this year.
Edit: When people say "club before country" my head completely agrees, I'm a ST holder at Spurs and have only ever been to two England friendlies ever and pay very little attention outside tournaments, that Scotland qualifier last year being one exception, but the angst and pain I've felt during this World Cup eclipsed anything I intrinsically felt for us (Spurs) last season. Perhaps it's the frequency of our chances of success, perhaps it's the fact that the season is a slower burner, more time to accept defeat if teams like Citeh run away with it.
Says the cunt who claimed we've sold City our second rate RB

Wonderful free kick. Hopefully Poch has been watching him as Eriksen has only scored what one free kick in two years of something daft like that??? Also for corners we now should look towards maybe putting him on those too (although I'm not a corner man per se and if you analyse our we either go short or front post. We should perhaps acknowledge that an old school on the penalty spot corner may give some dividend as everyone has cottoned onto our near post routine that was so effective for us in previous seasons).
So if given the opportunity then you'd say Poch would be a terrible fit to bring in a group of talented youngsters to win something?
Capello won the lot and was appalling
He’s too nice a chap and would end up like Martinez
I heard on Talksquawk that he received death threats and it was an Everton fan calling
Says it all about that cess pit up there

Modric has at the very least another season or so with Madrid and then that is it - off to either the MLS, China or Italy. Imagine him spraying balls about in Italy :lamelashock:Says the geeza who said Luka Modric was done at the top level.
