AndyM3000 Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 I've seen Sterling miss that type of chance about 50 times over his career. Pretty sure there's a youtube highlight reel of exactly that type of miss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If off the field activities aren’t impacting your performance then it’s not an issue. The criticism comes when your performances drop off a cliff at the same time, see a certain Jesse Lingard. So if they're not delivering on the pitch, it's certainly because of their life outside it, as opposed to the myriad of other footballing reasons why form can drop off (such as, in the case of DCL, a serious injury)? Edit: Also Jesse Lingard is a terrible example. He got next to zero minutes of playing time in 18 months, went on loan to West Ham and had a barn storming season which showed that he was still a top professional despite a.) not getting any playing time/match fitness and b.) having a life outside football.

sheepyvillian Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Watching the u21s yesterday. Fluid, positive and incisive, and then this garbage from the seniors. Go figure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A a lot of good players but not many of them are the stand out players in their club team. So when you put them all together it’s not going to be a world class team. A lot of fingers pointing at Southgate but I just don’t think our players are as good as people think. Yes they are he is just complete wank 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sold on it I'm more convinced that playing 350 games by the time he's 24 has more to do with it Edit - rashford born October 97, TAA born October 98, both in big teams playing in all the competitions, both internationals Rashford for utd and England 349 TAA for Liverpool and England 243 Rashford has played a crazy amount of football Edited June 11, 2022 by villa4europe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Django_Zooms Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 All of the overweight Sunday morning players in my former teams knew that you always use the opposite foot, farthest from the cross, to tap the ball home. Maybe Sterling & Grealish would take those chances, if they had also finished curries & beers about 10 hours earlier... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MachoFantastico Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 What a dull performance yet again, not that Italy looked particularly impressive either. Off to watch the Le Mans 24 hour instead I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fightoffyour Posted June 11, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted June 11, 2022 (edited) If any of us were given the chance to be England manager for a day and just picked a 4-3-3/4-5-1 and went “play with some freedom lads” there is not a **** chance, not a single iota of possibility, that they wouldn’t perform better than Sareth’s England team.

They seem to be scared to express themselves , just robotic keep the ball and pass it backwards and sideways .. I think that does stem from Safegate so he’s very much to blame Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foreveryoung Posted June 11, 2022 Share Posted June 11, 2022 Feed Grealish on the left everytime and we will create chances, might even score. We need to play the ole skool Villa way, JG to Tammy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
