England

[Ode to Django]

has he been on the laughing gas again

I think England has a good generation coming in: Zaha, Morrison, Barkley, Williams, Ward-Prowse, Stones, Byram, Lascelles, Ibe, Sterling, Ox, Hughes, Lallana, Campbell, Show, Chalobah, Redmond, Wickham, Ince, Keane, Butland, Keane, Kane. It will be interesting to watch them developing

Most of those names are barely Premier League standard. And to think Spain has Isco, Koke, Jese, Morata ETC ETC

I would take him Flanagan, a lot of people prefer Clyne though.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Flanagan has the advantage in that he can play in both full back positions which may give him an advantage. But I am also a huge fan of Clyne too.

i Think Englands next gen won't be at the very top but will be a good top 10 doubt half the players will develop to be that great

 

[xavisionary]

England's next gen seems like a lot of individuals with no team spirit. And as if we have a clue how to nurture and realise the formidable talents of the likes of the Ox and Barkley. I bet the latter wishes he had been born in Spain or Germany.

Why do you say that?

 

[Cule4life]

"Formidable talents of the Ox" I see beating one's chests about English players isnt restricted to the English media only.....

 

[xavisionary]

I say this with no irony, he has the potential to be a world beater. His physique coupled with his already sizable ability at the age of 20 is frightening. He's had no luck with injury/form at all.

And by the way, I'm not say he's going to be a Bale, Suarez, Ozil etc type player who's a tier below GOAT, he just in my eyes has a vast amount of potential.

quick question, do you guys think that a joint great britain national team would be significantly stronger than england, in the long run? I really don't know much about the british football situation, but just in principle i always thought it's quite a handicap for the home nations to play separately. Some thoughts from our british friends, maybe?

 

[Jenks]

It would be significantly stronger, but I don't think it's something that anyone wants, so much so that the Scottish and Northern Irish FA's didn't even release their players to take part in the one-time Team GB team for fear that FIFA would try and force the home nations into one. The only Briton I've ever heard support it are a couple of Wales supporters, but you'd struggle to find anyone in England or Scotland especially that wouldn't be 100% against it.

 

[AnfieldEd]

Really the only british players who aren't english that would get into the england team is Bale and perhaps maybe Ben Davies and Marshall.

 

[Semi-Neutral]

Ramsey? Maybe Joe Allen as well?

 

[AnfieldEd]

Totally forgot about Ramsey! Yes he'd definitely be in the team. Allen would definitely make the squad but perhaps not the team.
