Joe Hart is finally getting there.

I hate to see that cuz is support England for the WC.

Also Ruddy is not quite up to standard.

English goalies suck. :( (atleast the one's they have now)

Fraser Forster is amazing. Joe Hart has made one mistake. Nothing to worry about. There were worse times for England.

Also England has always had good CBs and LBs.

England always had the talent but not the right system to develop them. Youth League? Just play the second teams in the normal fuckin league system.

When Germany's national team was in such a detrimental situation like England's has been for years, the DFB changed things. They built decent football pitches all over the country, enhanced the standards for coaches, introduced a 3rd pro league, threw out all those old retarded dumbasses, recruited some decent coaches in the NT.

You can't blame it on the players. Engalnd usually had enough talent. 2006 England came to the WC with the 2 of the 3 best players in the world + a worldlass back four. but Sven could not merge that talent to a team Similar in 2010. Lampard and Rooney had been scoring for fun that year. Playing 60+ matche sper season has never helped either.

Thing is, in a football mad country there are always enough guys with talent and the right attitude, but they need faith, motivation, regular playing time on a competitive level and the necessary kick in the ass at times. But those U21 leagues just don't provide that. With a bit of luck all those talents like Morrison, McEachran, Chalobah etc can make it. When I have seen Schweinsteiger starting to play on regularly in 2004, I thought he was the worst midfielder ever. But he had the confidence to fail again and again till he made it, cos they had patience in him. In England young players are seldom given that sort of faith.

the money that is spread all over the EPL is rather invested in foreign talent than in own youth development. Many people think that is the reason why English talent does not break through, but IMO the problem lies deeper. Without the right support, talents develop slower. Player from England and Spain, even though coming from worse leagues often develop faster cos the inferior quality of the leagues allows them to take more responsibility and play more. The step from U21 to EPL is just a lot bigger than from 3rd Bundesliga to 1st BuLi or from Segunda to Primera divison.

This opinion probably well an truly belongs here, i don't think Baines is that good.

He may be decent going forward and has good link up play and understanding with Piennar, but defensively he isn't all that, infact when we play Everton i see him as the weak link defensively, look at what Bellamy did to him at Cardiff.

In terms of actual defending i would rate Cole, Gibbs and Bertrand all ahead of him. If Everton sell him for any more than £10m they have committed the heist of the decade.

I can see Blaszcykowski having an absolute field day on Tuesday.

But damn, you have to admit Bainesy is one hell of an attacking FB. Easily the best attacking Left Back in the world.

No way, Alaba, he is like a playmaker, he offers so much in the little time he has the ball.

I haven't seen too much of him outside of the Champions League, so I can't really comment. A side affect of living in Australia with limited coverage outside of the A-League and EPL. Our coverage of the EPL is probably better than England's, haha. I could get some Bundesliga and Eredivise matches but at the cost of AUD$30 p/month...and that is incredibly expensive.

Baines is still a good deal better than Alaba. His passing and crossing is far superior and he also has the more reliable defensive qualites. Alaba often lets the winger run away from him, which is also why Schürrle had so much joy against him in the Super cup. Alaba is amazing, but Baines is the best LB in the world.

He said best attacking left back in the world, we aren't talking about defending, we are talking about attacking wise. Alaba doesn't lose the ball when he's a left back, he's one of the most exciting ones I've ever seen. It was a great decision from Bayern to put him there as he was supposed to be a centre attacking midfielder. When he gets experience he's going to get better defensively, but attacking wise he is brilliant, his play with Ribery is always spectacular, his first touches and connection, always a pleasure to watch.
