You've surely for to wonder if the England players aren't just exhausted?

The PL is the most demanding by far IMO

Thing is a big proportion of this squad spend a hell of a lot of time warming extremely plush top 6 benches.

England were a bit naive versus Croatia in 2018 & Italy in 2021. Or we would have the 2 main trophies in the bag, thanks to Southgate. So, it is hard to explain these 4 Nations League matches, except to say that the players & staff are tired & need holidays & the tournament is meaningless to them.

With this current crop of players we should be thrashing teams

People say this far too much. There are some good players in the squad but not many great ones and the centre backs and goalkeeper are nothing more than ok. None of the midfielders are world class and Harry Kane blows hot and cold.

Individually, this team isnt a patch on the golden generation. Not even close. They've been more successful sure but this myth that this is some embarrassment of riches is nonsense.

There are at least 6 teams with better squads at the World Cup.

Kane, Sterling, Grealish, Sancho, Foden, Mount is a pretty good attack but only 3 will ever play at any one time from the start

But we have no trophies. We have won nothing under Southgate. I cannot believe people are still trying to defend him after this shite he is turning out.

It's not hard to explain, he's a terrible manager, who had the luck of the draw in the Euro's.

Harry Kane absolutely does not blow hot and cold. Apart from 10 games or so while he was sulking about not getting a move to City this season, he's been a stone cold killer pretty much every game for the past 5 years.

Just two games left before the world cup, this certainly is worrying, our last four games... we failed to beat the USA last time we played each other in the world cup, Wales are good (and are more attacking than us) and will be very fired up against us and Iran... we'd better beat Iran ffs!
