(This post is carrying on from TalkSAFT's which had a rant about the Euros.... but was on the anti Sky thread!)
England ARE very, VERY boring aren't they? IMHO Southgate is to blame - he's turning exciting, very capable players into zombies who are instructed NOT to take a chance, NOT to risk giving possession away at any cost.
What really gets me is when the ball is with the back 4 and they're attempting to ' play it out from the back', they'll dilly dally about with it and wait till they're virtually closed down, THEN PASS slowly back /square again because, surprise surprise, there's no other option! JUST PASS THE BALL EARLIER, WITH ENOUGH PACE ON IT!
Drives me mad!
I honestly hope we get knocked out early now as that will /should mean the end of Southgate. Nice bloke he may be, but he's just too negative.
