I'm not sure why it would be unsustainable. It's not HIS xG. It's an average xG of all players with chances in all those positions. It seems like you're saying that he has been lucky to score low xG chances and that is not something we can rely on, when really he has just shown an incredible ability to score against the odds. 

I can answer that for you - the high-profile ex players at the coaching courses I've taken were on a jolly-up, held to a lower standard, and rarely actually had to prove any sort of actual coaching prowess.  The course instructors would big them up while quite a few were genuinely star-struck by the mere presence of them in the course.  The whole concept of requiring coaching badges to get jobs has done nothing to change the old boys club getting favours and jobs over better qualified candidates.  I would cringe during evaluation sessions as ex-pros would sail through with high praise for putting on a crap session, while the same level of session would be absolutely slaughtered when put on by a no-name candidate. Foreign coaches are judged on their ability to coach.  With a few exceptions, who-you-know/who-you-are is still the more prevalent "qualification" in the English game....

Yeah, not sure how much the prices are individually where I am in A8 Upper Trinity but I'd imagine I'm saving a fortune paying £640 for the season.

Just amused me you randomly brought him up along with Richards (which was a great example as he'd just burst into laughter if he ever attempted a serious team talk) as I had no idea what he was doing either so looked it up. Perhaps he will be one who does make it as seems to be the best coaches generally are ones who's careers are cut short by injury in their 20s and so they have years to study and formulate their style rather than just being parachuted into a job six months after they retire. Wilshere's top level career was done by age of 28 and then he retired at 30 so Norwich is a decent enough club to eventually get chance at. Tom Cleverley is doing o.k at Watford and Carrick will probably be the next big hope for domestic candidates as I think Boro will be pretty close to promotion this season.

We tried what we thought was a progressive English manager. His name is Gareth Southgate.  We should be happy we can attract managers like Tuchel, who has won big honours. I mean there's not too many international teams who could take Tuchel.

We actually had six English players start the Man. United game (if you count Cash). Ramsey also a regular when fit. Man. City and Arsenal regularly have 3-4 English players starting. I don't think it's as big an issue as made out. England always had a problem in different eras they're overflowing in certain areas (attacking midfield) but hardly anything at LB currently which is pretty embarrassing. If you look at most NTs now they all barely have any decent picks at CF. Morata compared to Torres/David Villa 15 years ago is a serious downgrade and look at what Italy put out there. England will go the same way post Kane but that's simply a consequence of 4-2-3-1 becoming the dominant formation in the premier league in the 2010s.

Other countries give up and coming managers a chance at major clubs. If they fail then they get a chance at another decent sized club to prove they've learnt from their mistakes. I thought that graphic above was really interesting as Italy is frequently a league that gives up and coming coaches chances and they're not all big names either. Stefano Pioli was a journeyman coach for years but still had chance to manage likes of Lazio and Fiorentina and then eventually got the Milan job where he won the title. Allegri did a good job at Cagliari and then was trusted to lead Juve when he had little reputation as a player compared to say Conte. Potter was poor at Chelsea but the way people talk about him you'd think they were on the verge of being relegated. Ultimately Poch did little better in his first six months there. However on the flip side so many of the British managers produce such poor fare to watch. He's an easy target but for such a succesful player it's staggering how much of an underdog mentality Steve Bruce has as a manager. Put him in charge of a team with little expectations and men behind the ball and he does fine at SHA, Wigan and Hull. Put him in charge of a club with pressure and he can't cope as he seemed shocked the fanbase here and at Newcastle actually wanted to win with a bit of style, especially as that was at championship level. The horrific football Gerrard was producing on a weekly basis genuinely makes you wonder how he even passed the FA coaching course he was on. To me the only competent candidate for England job that is English is Howe as he's proven himself in all the leagues and done an acceptable enough job at Newcastle with more pressure but still a question mark as to whether he'd be any better than Southgate in the later stages. He'll most likely get his chance from 2026.

Dean would be fine as under 21 manager as the way he developed Jacob Ramsey was excellent, giving him sub cameos and the odd start and then a year later started making him a regular. Not sure he'd leave MLS for under 21 gig but that's his only realistic route and even then the two relegations mean people would struggle to take that appointment seriously.

I was a Google away and thought nah **** it let's just throw wilshere under the bus, the worst of it being it came after 20 mins of googling where all these German coaches came from and whose mate was whose and I didn't bother googling the English lot 🤦
