As long as the daft band is happy
English coaches have done very well in europe. Look at neville at Valencia
England has struggled tactically, and Jamie suggests Lampard……🤦🏽♂️
To answer Carragher, how many English managers managing the big 6 clubs in your EPL in the past 30 years? Anyone whom is English is particularly successful in these 6 clubs? I think the answer is obvious, you got to accept that English managers are basically inept to be considered, you and Gary are masters of criticizing, why not you both go and manage a club to see how good you are?
You need the people at st georges park nip up to largs and see how the inverclyde sports training centre does it.
Watching a few training sessions isnt going to make coaches better. Theres more to being a successful coach or manager than just the session plan. Thats like 10% of the role
Some terrible turkey teeth on show here.
To be fair Jamie is perfectly qualified to spot an
embarassment having been one himself his entire life.
Hey carra is back nice😊
Gary celebrated porch for America such hypocrisy
Tuchel…?…lolololol…How funny is that :0)
You dont have an English coach "Gary" how dumb are you ? Need a health check?
Two clown's, both think southgate is the goat,one word or a few to both you muppets,he was you're worst ever manager ,there was more positivity in a bottle of old spice aftershave (which southgate wore,no doubt) than his negative look ,depleted, defeated style of management period
Prime Xenophobia
Class manager, couldn't be happier considering pep was never an option. Watch this space now!
Eddie Howe … no way. lf you asked the top coaches they'd all say you need some accomplishments behind you to handle the pressure.
This is why fans get pissed off because 99% of us HATE international break, and we don't care how much you enjoy it.
Oh do one. These two red bitters wanted Pep in lest we forget, they've been banging on about that for ages. They change their mind like the weather.
Since these two are experts, how many trophies did they win with England and in the prem under an english manager?
What happens if we face Germany in the World Cup semi or final and get battered by them 👀 what will the English press and public say then about Tuchel 😅
Hey Rebecca why no Germany flag ? Weren't you coerced to display it as with the stars & stripes 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Shocking really 😮losing to san marino would be shocking😂😂😂 hiring a successful manager DUH!
World cup should be the only tournament for senior players 21 and over .the other 30 international games should be for under 21 year olds
Nations league is a load of shite England wont win zip cuz they play too many games and have the weakest players in terms of fitness
32:12 Danny welbeck your right on dude
Did you only use rebock footy boots or addidas 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Your strip is made in 🇩🇪 😂😂😂😂😂😂
