Steve - good analysis - could another manager made more of our raw material ?
10ClarionSt - "We haven't had a decent team since the one that won the World Cup in 1966. We've had (still do), some fantastic players who played brilliantly for their clubs, week in, week out. But as soon as they put the England shirt on, they turn to jelly. This has been the case since we surrendered a two goal lead against West Germany in Mexico in 1970. That's where our world standing fell down and has never recovered. So all this business about tactics, harmony, injuries, the manager etc. is just a fudge. And everyone fell for all hype and over-expectation about England winning the World Cup. We aint good enough and never will be till we get some players who have the BALLS to put in a real performance instead of turning to jelly"
