How to make the England test cricket team look good.... Again

Seriously this is sunday league defending

Wtf is Bertrand doing. A/still on the pitch. B/in the starting 11. C/in Italy. D/at LCFC What an utter passenger!

Errr, when was it ignited?

Set pieces?

We appear to roll over in awe to Villa and Brighton never mind Barca!

Nah this is the training session

Oh dear, I'm going to disagree wirh most of this even though I'm not in the sack him now camp, sorry. To begin with most teams lose key players at some point we are not unique, good managers adapt their team and can grind out results if need be, BR to me seems incapable of this. Ndidi is a shadow of the player he appeared to be a few months ago as is Cags - isn't BR supposed to improve players? Maddison and Barnes have both experienced highs and lows too, that they are consistently at or near their best is self deluding, both are good players neither is brilliant. We have no replacements because BR chose to bring in Vestegard and Bertrand! William Pitt said "patriotism is the last refuge of a scoundrel", to me luck is the last excuse of a loser, we used all of our "luck" on 15th May. Besides which the great Gary Player (belittled as lucky ) said "yep and the more l practice, the luckier l get" Luck is like the rain in England its generally evenly distributed. To say we are within striking distance of a Europa league place is delusional! or at the least so is every other team down to Watford 4th from bottom! But the big one is stating we are in no real danger of relegation - really, are Southampton or Everton? We are in fact closer to a relegation fight than a top 6 finish atm, not just in terms of points, mostly on performances. But no doubt we can finish strongly as we usually dont and stay up. We need a result at Napoli in a group we should have won 3 games ago and at a canter, thats not a positive! Btw do you KNOW that the players havent quit on him or just assuming so. Much of this present shambles is down to the manager but its probably not a big deal for him to be in the bottom half when you consider how we have overachieved (succeeded) in the last few years, good managers accept and instill over achievement (success) as the new norm (as we supporters do) and push on from that to greatness. Not in the sack him now camp as i said but only because i cant see us getting a really top guy in at this point in the season.

If Newcastle are relegated my advice to Eddie Howe would be to not accept an invite to the Saudi embassy.

gylfi sigurdsson maybe..... Purchance.... Only cos Everton played them once of course... I think...

Maybe we should all wear flares then... 🤔

Lol... Remember this came to me before the season began! Eternal optimist me.. 😕

This came into my head complete the day he signed. Boubakry boubakry bouba soumare, He plays box to box with precision and flair, He's going to wembley And we'll all be there, Boubakry boubakry bouba soumare. (tune- chim chimonee - obvs) However only works if its pronounced soo - mare, not sou - marey... unless flair is also pronounced flair-ey 🤣🤣

Hmmm.. Quite an achievement by BR to finally get people to "appreciate" Ayo as a player, simply make everyone else look dreadful by chopping and changing, playing people out of their best positions and overcomplicating things! What the hell has it come to when "he cant do any worse" is a valid and correct comment!

Just hope that "returning to the average" doesn't mean finishing 5th from bottom for the next two years and exiting the cup in the first match! I also believe that the tag of "top players" is pretty meaningless, it was not long ago that Soyuchu was being targetted by Real i seem to remember and of course Madders was def off to Real Arsenal... These are our superstars? Basically average players having a golden few months but unable to sustain it or do the business when the pressures on... IMHO.

Does anyone know if Legia have any semi - pro players? If they do and they beat us we could maybe do a Sean Murphy.. 🤣🤣

Lol.. I reckon its healthier to smoke 40 a day and drink 8 pints of best than head a football now.... 🤣🤣

Seems pretty pointless when we repeat the same mistakes over and over 🤣
