On paper its a decent team, full of potential but plenty of European experience. Most of these players play for the top 5 or 6 teams in the country.

For me the 4-4-2 formation is so dated. I can't recall many (if any) Premier League sides using it these days and also national teams at the World Cup. The players are not suited to it. We need to find a formation that suits the players and stick to it. The same formation should be used right down to each youth age group.

Need to build a dynamic team around Raheem Sterling. Get on it Roy!!

Mister AT · « **Reply #653 on:** September 04, 2014, 11:27:50 AM »

Think we do need to build a team around Sterling and Sturridge.

Our best 2 players over the last season or so. Think Barkley would replace Wilshere for me once hes fully fit and on form.

Think the move to Arsenal may do Welbeck the world of good.

Do you? I think Welbeck is a pile of pooh.

I think he's got a point. We weren't as bad as some have suggested, there was much more to be positive about than the World Cup in 2010.

Lost two drawn one and bottom of the group... No wonder you don't mind Irvine mate...

I found nothing positive from that World Cup about England. infact it opened my eyes to the decline of our national team.

Ouch!

The Italy and Uruguay games could have gone either way, we definitely didn't deserve to lose both but that's football and matches are sometimes won and lost by fine margins. Euro 2016 will be the tournament that define's Hodgson's reign.

How many times do we hear from players that you make your own luck in football or the better you are the luckier you are

England are s**t and will always be s**t. Anyone who thinks otherwise is deluded. We've had all the rhetoric about making changes to make us better but in fact we've got worse. Yes we have some great youth talent but we never are a team and that's our downfall.

A point would be a very good result tonight. Considering the amount of injuries we have. Optimistic but I'm looking forward to this young team playing tonight, a tough test for them.

WBAinDEVON · « **Reply #663 on:** September 08, 2014, 08:22:59 AM »

For the first time in my life i wont be rushing home to watch England

gerry m · « **Reply #664 on:** September 08, 2014, 09:45:26 AM »

Too many players in their comfort zone. Multi millionaires who ain't bothered if they lose for England as they get a huge paycheck at the end of the month. No hunger!

Legend · « **Reply #665 on:** September 08, 2014, 10:47:06 AM »

I would take a draw all day long against Switzerland tonight.

tommcneill · « **Reply #666 on:** September 08, 2014, 11:18:06 AM »

Lets not rule out the Swiss here they are 9 places above us in the rankings table.

Tough game for us and injuries now mean not even the best XI can be put out

Morany · « **Reply #667 on:** September 08, 2014, 11:21:08 AM »

Positive result for us tonight I think. I'm going for 1-0 England with Welbeck to score

WBAinDEVON · « **Reply #668 on:** September 08, 2014, 11:24:59 AM »

Do these guys get a wage playing for England?

tommcneill · « **Reply #669 on:** September 08, 2014, 11:26:23 AM »

If players play to true levels then we will beat them of that I have no doubt.

Just dont think we are that nice to watch at the min and I dont fancy them when it matters

They get a fee for playing for England. In the past they have given all their fees to Charity though.

They do, but they donate it to charity. I believe all international players are required to be paid (which is why there's often a lot of arguments between African nations and their players at tournaments over their bonus').

This is a huge game for Hodgson, he needs to be brave and go for a win. His position will become nearly untenable otherwise, though I suspect the FA will stick with him whatever, the fans and press will turn against him completely if he goes negatively. The 0-0 in Ukraine last year was desperately negative but could somewhat be justified, no excuses for not going for the 3 points here.

Switzerland are a decent side but they're really not a top tier side, they did lose 5-0 to France in the world cup and finished 3rd in the Euro 2012 qualifying behind us and Montenegro.

MarkW · « **Reply #673 on:** September 08, 2014, 04:33:14 PM »

Just had a look at their squad - Xhaka, Shaqiri, Stocker, Inler, Behrami, Lichtsteiner, Seferovic. Definitely not a team that will roll over. Do we have anyone of Shaqiri's quality? Sterling may get there, but he's not anywhere near yet.

This is going to be tough.

TheJacko2000 · « **Reply #674 on:** September 08, 2014, 09:55:19 PM »

Good performance. Sterling MOTM, thought Delph also did well.
