Well sure attitude is a big fucked up chunk of the problem, like the lack of ability. But I was discussing TACTICS, fucker.

doesn't really matter how many reasonably good players are elsewhere if there is no midfield at all, as covered upthread

wilshere, scholes, hoddle and that's p much it
fabrice muamba is not a midfielder

there's no point devising tactics for a shower with that attitude sam. Successive coaches since sven have discovered that.
Sven convinced this group that their personalities and desires mattered. Poison tbh.

Higuain's the only finisher I can think of at the top level right now, and I'm probably doing him a disservice.
― Ismael Klata, Sunday, 12 June 2011 19:54 (fifteen years ago)
And Pippo of course.
Hernandez. I'll just keep posting it
― Number None, Sunday, 12 June 2011 19:55 (fifteen years ago)
higuain can finish but that doesn't make him a 'finisher' since he has other competencies too

similarly klass jan huntelaar is 'a finisher' even if he scored 10 goals in the bundesliga
― http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:WhiteAmericanFolks.jpg (nakhchivan), Sunday, 12 June 2011 19:56 (fifteen years ago)
Haha, he's more than that though. I'm talking guys who contribute goals and that's it.

The post that started this detour said they lack finishing (a skill) not "a finisher."

hernandez is totes 'a finisher' imo

2108: Heart-in-mouth time for Danny Welbeck as he scythes down Javi Martinez with a lumbering challenge, minus the nasty intent, but referee Strombergsson decides there was no intent there from the Manchester United striker and ignores the silent Spanish pleas for a second yellow card. Good officiating.

i'll read this all back in a minute but having just watched that farce my impression is that Spain don't know how to kill a game they're bossing and England are gash

At last! Someone identifies the problem. ENGLAND NOT ARROGANT ENOUGH!
― pandemic, Monday, 13 June 2011 11:52 (fifteen years ago)
Not sure I've seen arrogance identified as a Spanish trait before, footballwise - it's usually German, Italian, Dutch, Argentine or French arrogance (never Brazilian, curiously). I guess this is the sign confirming that Spain have finally made it.

The FA remains convinced that Stuart Pearce is the best man to manage the England's Under-21s despite the team's early exit from the European Championship last night and an FA source has confirmed it has no intention of withdrawing the two-year contract extension that has been on offer to him since before the tournament.

he did manage them to the final two years ago tho. i don't know what happened in that game tho, not really interested tbh.

Did Josh McEachran play at all in this tournament? Was he even in the squad? Looks a better prospect than anyone except Wilshere.

not in the aquad, he's a couple years younger than most of the squad
