[Football] Do England Have a DNA ??

[Weststander]

Yes, a dinosaur’s,

 

[Cheeky Monkey]

The only positive in the game for me was the performance of Eze. Absolute pub football levels, so hopefully we won't see him again.

On the flip side, Guehi was man of the match for England

Palace give, they also taketh away

Typical England luck. The far better player, Englishman Olise, chose France.

Is RDZ still available??

Imagine that !

The England DNA is something they talk a lot about in the level one coaching course - it is basically about players being comfortable on the ball and being confident to play out from the back.

Obviously it’s Southgate who doesn’t have the skills to coach this properly !

The FA are a dinosaur institution, they are the root of the problem. . . An institutionalised outdated inwardly protective old boy network.

much like the rest of this countries older institutions, They'll hang on as long as the house of lords, commons etc all get away with it . . . .

Anyone think poor dunky will get nowhere near playing in this competition

All the suits and local FA’s. They may be admirable local folk, but it’s an amateurish foundation.

I've already said he won't. And on todays display, probably for the best

passing the ball to feet at U12 pace probably did for him a few games ago anyway.

It wasn't amateurish in the 1950's . . . But even the Isle of White has moved on a bit since then

some people love a 'club' and a tie. Or a sense of authority.

I have far more respect for 'Gentleman Jim' Than any of our establishment.

 

[Sarisbury Seagull]

Yes, we have a very cosmopolitan DNA.

For nearly 30 years now we’ve been trying to copy other nation’s DNA’s. It started with France, then Brazil, then Spain, then Germany and then then Portugal. We are now left with this wonderful mish mash we witnessed tonight.

[American Seagle]

The England team's DNA, as an outsider, seems to be to have good individuals but with a poor team technical and tactical cohesion. They just play, and rarely look like they have a plan. You could say it is to pick the best 11 individuals but not necessarily the best team.
This, I think anyway, is why they come unstuck against the big teams as they have a plan and a cohesive tactic in place.

 

[scooter1]

We hear a lot about a teams DNA and style of play - do England have a DNA ?

Is it time to adopt something like we have at Brighton where a style of play is adopted and we pick a coach who can implement this and pick players based on data that can execute our style ?

For me England have always had top players but have never really been able to implement them into a consistent style of play - lots of world class individuals but never a world class team.

Something needs to change

That makes a lot of sense to me. It won’t happen, but I’d like to see the FA and a manager be brave enough to implement something like this

 

[trueblue]

A DNR would probably be more appropriate at this point.

Or even hodgseon until we almost don’t get out of the group stages then potter to the final
